new video: AmigaOS 3.2 on AmigaOS 4.1

@All

I made a new video probably some of you can found it interesting. There is:

https://youtu.be/Yq__c-9bg70

Video about installing fresh AmigaOS3.2 on AmigaOS4.1 on my x5000 via EUAE with JIT enabled. It includes receiving, unpacking, installing, finetuning, testing, etc. Working screen mode 1920x1080x32 + all the hacks and patches, so can be interesting for everyone who wants to emulate OS3.2 and 68k software on AmigaOS4.1

Enjoy!

Dude! Love the video. Nice place :)

@kas1e

Very impressive. It is great to see such high screen resolution, and so much happening on the screen.

Obviously, the X5000 is much more powerful than my ancient OS4 system. I am limited by system RAM and VRAM.

I created two AmigaOS 3.2 emulations on my MicroA1.

First one is very simple ...
A2000HD with 68000 CPU, 1MB chipram, 8MB fastram, OCS, NTSC.
I use standard icons, because the GlowIcons look chunky.

Second emulation takes alot of RAM on my system ...
Configured for 68020/68881, KickA1200.rom, 2MB chipmem, 8MB fastmem, 8MB gfx memory, uaegfx and Picasso96.
I use the GlowIcons, but it would look better with a higher screen resolution. Currently using uaegfx 640×480 32 bit.
1024×768 32 bit looks nice but takes way more RAM.

Thanks :)

@redfox
Yeah, x5000 feels like a modern enough computer. It is for sure is much much faster than my old pegasos2. And not _that_ but still faster than my sam460 1.1ghz as well.

When I set up uae on x5000 i even didn't think about any restrictions in terms of configuration - all configs works.

@kas1e

You really make great video blogs too.

@kas1e
The video is awesome. Thanks for doing it. I have a question though. Why emulated 68040 and not 68020? I am thinking that the later would save you a few more cycles, but I might be wrong.

@walkero
With 040 (or 060) emulated i can be sure that all modern 68k demos will runs and works with no probs

I loved the video. I have a setup on my machine as well, which works flawlessly. I plan to use it for development when I will work to port MediaVault to OS3.

@kas1e

Hi kas1e,

I followed your video but I have a problem, it tells me that my hdf disk is Not a dos disk?

How did you do to boot on a partition or an adf to be able to install Os 3.2?

Thanks for your help.

Wasn't there a very well written tutorial here in the forum on how to emulate AmigaOs3.2.x with the help of E-Uae on NG machines? I also interested in it and unfortunately can't find it anymore.

The video is good

@kas1e
Very nice video.
I especially enjoy PART 4: Finetuning and fast test. Hacks, patches, and stuff.

Thanks!

Yesterday I spent some time with E-UAE and AmigaOs3.2, the integration of the CDRom works directly and I had no problems with the installation. I created the HDF as you can see in the video.

Integrated with:

"hardfile=rw,32,1,2,512,Programme:Emulation/E-UAE/HDF/system.hdf"

Under AmigaOs3.2 this new HD is then formatted as we usually know it from AmigaOs.

Maybe this will help you.

What happens when you format the virtual hard drive under emulation?

Quote:

He copied the AmigaOS3.2 CD to a drawer / directory on his hard drive, then he modified the .uaerc file in order to have that directory mounted as a virtual Hard drive. e-uae booted from that "drive".

You could skip the copy of the CD and use it to boot e-uae:

filesystem2=rw,DH1:AmigaOS3.2CD:AmigaOS3.2CD:,0
or
filesystem=rw,AmigaOS3.2CD:AmigaOS3.2CD:

hope this helps

Hi all,

Thanks for your help, it worked fine and currently I am installing Aos 3.2 on the hdf partition I created.

really nice to see its working.

Hi All,

Nice video and I am trying this on my A1222+.

I got Amiga OS3.2 ISO with update 3.2.2.1, E-UAE-SDL version:0.8.29 and along with its EasyUAE GUI version:1.6 installed successfully.

I can load EasyUAE GUI fine.

I can load amiga OS 3.2.2.1 kick a1200 rom splash screen fine.

I can also load its install disk fine too.

However I am having problems getting a virtual hard drive created.

Within EasyUAE GUI create hard drive wizard, its is unable to create an os3.2.hdf file for me with this permission alert within the Amiga shell showing below:

5.AmigaOS4:MyFiles/E-UAE_GUI> uae
Rexx port "UAE" installed.
E-UAE 0.8.29
Build date: Jul 12 2014 17:03:54
Found 0 joysticks
Opening cfgfile '.uaerc'...failed
Timebase frequency: 49.995000 MHz
Failed to open hardfile with write permission. Trying as read-only

That it, no further error message after that, any ideas how to successfully create an amiga virtual hard drive file via EasyUAE?

Thank you.

You can easily do this using "make_hd", which is located in the E-UAE archive.

Here is an example of how I did it.

Open the shell and change to the E-UAE directory with cd.

4.AmigaOS4:> cd "RAM Disk:E-UAE_1.0.0_AmigaOS4/"
4.RAM Disk:E-UAE_1.0.0_AmigaOS4> make_hdf system.hdf 100
hardfile2rw,DH0:system.hdf,32,1,2,512,0,
hardfilerw,32,1,2,512,system.hdf
4th RAM disc:E-UAE_1.0.0_AmigaOS4>

In my case I have executed "make_hdf system.hdf 100", which creates an hdf with a size of 100 MB.

That should help you.

@Maijestro

Yep, that helped, I managed to get Amiga OS 3.2.2.1 installed successfully running within e-uae.

Tried various system profile configs but it seem to be stable on an A1200 with 2mb chip ram, 68020 proc, and 4mb fast ram config.

Seem to be ok so far...for now

Thanks again.

@Boabster

Have you also activated the PPC-JIT interpreter? This should give you a little more speed.

I can still remember that E-UAE ran very well on the A1222.

@Maijestro

I had a look at the uaerc config file.

But all I could find is this setting:

ppc.use_tbc=yes

Is this PPC-JIT setting you are referring to?

Thanks
