Edit: This is the support thread. To begin this thread I will repeat my post in News here:

AmiKit, the high-end distribution of the best classic Amiga software, has been optimized for real Amigas AGA computers too! This conversion is unofficial, maintained by Retrofan. Your feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy!

Free download available at: http://real.amiga.sk/

I've been for a while working to make a conversion of the great AmiKit for Pc to run on a Real Amiga just using 16 colors and saving a lot of ram using also some patches.

In this time I've had some help, so I want to thank PeterK for his great icon.library, Bloodwych for his advices, Thomas (always there), Rebel_CD32 for his great palette, skins and others, Cammy, and also some beta testers (mates). And finally Emmanuel Dausse for letting me use his Workbench 2000 with my mods, Thomas Wenzel (Play16), and of course Jan of AmiKit for his great help and support to launch and make this possible.



Thanks,
Retrofan

NEW Update/NOTE: I've left this information of the first post as much as it was from the beginning. In any case, you should check the latest version here as it has been updated again: https://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=864388&postcount=1

Cool. :great

How do you know? It will be optimized for a 68k?
because if not so, will go very slow

He knows, because he is making it and currently running it.
You can find the whole thread here -> http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...ghlight=amikit

Since it's 16 colours, do you think it will run on A600 with ACA620 with Indy or it will be only AGA?:bowdown

Your Amiga must be able to run OS3.9. If it does you can try it, but for ECS at least the booting picture must be disabled from the s-s, and I have to say that my skins (some of them) don't look bad using just 8 colors if you need that.

I've only tried this with A1200 Amigas, but this thread here will be the support thread. Not the one where you ask and I tell you how do you change and improve all, as I known very few; but the place where everybody tries it and gives ideas to improve it.

It can use "Live Update", so it will be possible to update it online, although not the updates of AmiKit, but specific ones just for this Real one.

I think this is a very nice project Retrofan. Keep it up. :)

yes great work mate keep it up

It will have it's thread also in News :D. Thanks Prowler :bowdown

This one here will be for support, the other just to announce it.

Ah, okay. I thought that the conversion was done by the original author of the PC version.

Retrofan.: will it be usable on A1200 just with additional 8MB Fast Ram? :-)

Good luck with the release - I know you've been working tirelessly at this for a while now!!! :great

No, it needs under emulation at least 16mb of ram to run (with 8 just boots, but almost out of ram)

I understand that some users want more and anothers want to run it with less. Surely I can't make everybody happy as there are many possible hardware configurations out there.

Thanks to you, master, for giving me advices like contacting Jan and giving me faith on this.

And To ALL. This is the support thread, so before asking, please use the installation instructions.
AND the MUI key, BB2 and all you can add of the suggested or optional is important for it to work better.

Hi Retrofan,

Awesome work as I said in the News thread, tested and working on a couple of my Amiga's.

I've noticed that if I try to change the Screenmode I get stuck with an hourglass and it never reloads the workbench, backdrop, etc.

I get this in Emulation and on the Real Amiga.

Have you noticed this? It could be from my OS3.9 install as I don't know if that was clean (I just took it from an old HDF so I might need to start from fresh)

Otherwise it seems to be working great :great

Steve.

No, I don't get that. I'm trying right now under emulation and I can change without problems the screen mode. I was using Pal High Res Laced and now SuperPlus High Res Laced (looks better). What screenmode are you trying to use? And, anyway try reseting it.

Edit: Now using HighGFX with the Indi.

Edit: Yes, it needs a reboot after you change the screenmode, that's how it is.

I should give my 1200 love as its been neglected recently.

I have the choice of:

ACA1230/44 + 64mb

or

Cobra 030 + 128mb

I have original OS3.9 on cd ready to go. Stumbled upon some old bits including the guts of an old power xl high-density drive, just need to find the casing and ribbon lead.

Only thing lacking is space to put it all together :(

Waiting for new CF card than straight to install. looks amazing

I think I'm going to have to do a clean install of OS3.9 & BB 1&2 as it's gone all buggy since I tried to change the screen mode :crazy

I think my OS3.9 was broken!

Am trying to set this up on Winuae whilst waiting for a new CF card.

I am getting the following error:

<< IPrefs >>
Program failed (error #8000003D)
Wait for disk activity to finish

Any suggestions? Might try a different 3.9 base.

Cheers

Have you done the clean OS3.9 BB2 installation? Have you got at least 16mb of ram on WinUAE?
