I made this kind of post on the amigaworld.net, but not all the ppls visit AW, so i also duplucate it here. Imho it can be interesting to someone:
I made a
little video related to os4 for some friends but i think that video can be interesting to many other ppls, so, just make a topic for that.
Video can be splitted on 2 parts. First part (up to the 4:30 of time) showing 68k scene diskmags which works on os4.1 now becouse of new wrapper/libs done by Salas00 for the old ptreplay and medplayer librarys. You can check
this topic for detect how it was done and which old 68k progs now works with it.
For firstly i run 3 (4,6,7) issues of russian diskmag called "poweramiga". It's a bit lame by the content, but good looking by gfx/music. Issues 4,5,6 uses "ptreplay.library". Issue 7 uses medplayer.library. Then next i run Excess8 and Excess9 diskmags by MadWizards, and after all the poland diskmag called Seven Days by LazyMinds.
The next part of video (started from the 4:30 of time), can be called as "os4 stability when you load it heavy". I just run seven days1 diskmag on own screen, then run Uprough's EP-0003 (lowtech EP) on port of which i works right now (this nice minimal music it's from this ep), then:
- Filler
- Wookiechat and going to irc.amigaworld.net
- DirOpus4
- OWB (going to amigaworld.net)
- ScummVM (running FullThrottle game)
- tunenet (play mp3 on it)
- FallingUP (a nice game ported by IAmSonic)
- Ltris game
- PIG game
Then battery of the camera start to be "low" and i stop the record. But for sure i can run somethink else over all of this.
Must to say, that some of these progs "hold" network connection all the time, some of these progs (many) use AHI (you can heard all of this at the same time).
So the result: for the os without memory protection, it's already _very good_. Some oses _with_ memory protection not have this kind of stability. I really enjoy by current state of os4 :)
Of course it's all mean runing only "good" programms. Which are writed good. Becouse all of this can be just die becouse of only one running bad programm. But in generall, when we works on somethink, we all the time uses stable programms, so for the reality it's make a sense.
ps. The video done on peg2/1gz/1gb of ram/radeon9250/latest os4.1 with latest quickfix.
