AROS One 68k Work In Progress

AMIGASYSTEM

Use this JPEG datatype with DTConvertGUI to convert to JPEG for AROS One 68k.

Here is a new DTConvertGUI also. The GetPath function is now working correctly.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Perfect also from Dopus with a Click you can convert all the images supported by the datatypes, for DTConvertGUI I still have to find a font that fits well with the system, arial.font I use it everywhere also on Dopus4

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Test  Play Sound with Multiview-Datatype !

I attach demo video, You have to download the video, so it will be available in a few seconds:

I will find time to lengthen the GUI and make it look better with Arial 16 font. I planned to do that anyhow. You make me work!

It's all for a good group of people though. AROS users are great.

Updated AROS One 68k with the new Nightly Build 2021-12-17 released today on aros.sourceforge, I don't know what improvements have been made, but AROS One 68k seems to work better.

Nightly Build 2021-12-17:
https://aros.sourceforge.io/nightly1.php


As I reported on the Post "AROS 68k updates from ApollOS repository", now AROS One 68k has been installed on a HardFile initialized with the PFS3-Aio Filesystem.

Unfortunately as explained in that post the native AROS SFS Filesystem on AROS 68k has problems on Wanderer, see attached video, no problems also with FFS Filesystem and Directoryfilesystem.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

With the Professiona File System (PFS-Aio) AROS One seems to be reborn, now is much smoother and faster, programs like AmigaAMP work better even with multiple runs, see screenshots.

The WinAMP skins have been customized by me in Amiga style (see buttons) and are part of a collection I created for AfA One.

But PFS works only on 68K, right?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

PSF2/PFS3/PFS3-Aio support all Amiga OSs 1.x/2.x/3.x

AROS x86 Does not support PSF2/PFS3/PFS3-Aio

AROS 68k Supports/Use PSF2/PFS3/PFS3-Aio

AROS 68k can only install PSF2 (HDToolBox only shows PSF2)

[cdimauro]

So, it's only for 68K...

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Yes, AROS x86 cannot create PFS partitions and does not see PFS partitions, it can instead create and manage FFS and SFS partitions.

---- Italiano ----

Si, AROS x86 non puņ creare Partizioni PFS e non vede le partizioni PFS, puņ invece creare e gestire partizioni  FFS e SFS.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Create the small icons for the detail view in AROS One style for 68k and X86, note that in this case the fonts are "Black", while on Wanderer they are White, does anyone know how to change the font colors ?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Also on AROS 68k Successfully installed the new version of MUIBase 4.4, also in this distribution I created a Datatype Descriptor and a def_bbs.info to associate all the project demos, will follow review also for AROS x86 Work In Progress

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Installed on AROS One 68k the new version 1.1 of ModExplorer-CE released today, ModExplore-CE is a light version of ModExplorer-NG dedicated to slower systems like OS3, ModExplorer-CE also exists for OS3, WarpOS, AROS x86, MOS and OS4.

one idea from me... perhaps interesting for you too

for aros vision I always had the problem that people had to redownload every new version because there was no update mechanism included

That meant if someone installed and configured his hown installations in it he or she had to be careful not to forget something and loose it (that happened for me). So updating without affecting current installation was high on my wish list.

With the new aros vision it is possible. I have created a simple hollywood binary that downloads a certain archive from my webpage to ram: (one line of code). This archive is automatically unpacked with xad (in ram) and content copied to sys:

New software is included in a new directory and existing software updated.(=overwritten)

no complex install script needed

also I have added another special startup file to startup-sequence that is independent of user-startup. By that I no longer need to change startup-sequence or user-startup

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Good idea about the startup-sequence, with AfA One I used to create a standard installer that would install or overwrite all the files.
The problem is that when there are new settings or moving folders, I do it to have a logical order, in that case it's better to reinstall everything from scratch.

I wanted to create bootable DVD/USB like I did with AROS One x86, but on Real Amigas this thing is not easy to do, moreover installAROS seems to have problems, have you ever tried to install AROS with the new Nightly Builds on a blank HD either with WinUAE or with a Real Amiga ?
