AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup - February 2025

Hi everyone,

March 1st today and time for a new edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup! Hope you'll enjoy browsing the news. Cheers!

Thanks again for the coverage here are still some fps numbers
on Baldur’s Gate which were not ready in time for your report:

A1222 Baldur’s Gate 1

18 fps

A1222 Planescape Torment

24 fps

(Same system seems torment is faster)

And yes the game definitely runs on a1222
though on a softfloat version. I actually
plan to try if the same compiler options
can make Heretic2 run on a1222.

MicroAmigaOne 800 mhz

8-10 fps (betatester said „still feels playable though“,
Note he did only try one character, no full 6
characters test on this one, neither on a1222)

x5000 baldurs gate 2 1024x768

Further x5000 specific optimization raised this
from 26 fps to 30 fps (remember 30 fps was the
limit of the engine).

And some news on the WarpOS Version (which will
be released at a later time than the os4 version though):

Ragnarok g3 800 mhz overclocked to 1 ghz

All 4 games around 24-25 fps

I am actually extremely impressed by that WarpOS test.

thanks for another great roundup & looking forward to setting up Baldurs Gate !

@AmigaOldskooler
thanks for nice review
@TheMagicSN
and many thanks for GemRB - it looks great!

It will be released VERY soon ;) there will of course be an announcement.

@AmigaOldskooler
another great blog from you, thank you for the great reporting.
Thumbs up for that

@AmigaOldskooler

As always, thank you for this little read and the summary. Great report

@TheMagicSN

Thanks for the work done on GemRB, it's great. Great that you will also try to support games on the A1222, I am curious if there will be a possibility that we will see Herertic 2 on this system sooner or later.

I actually would like to try the cpu settings which led to success with gemrb
also with h2

@AmigaOldskooler
Thank you for the news.

Thanks so much for the positive feedback everyone, much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed the roundup.
