AfA One v1.3 Realized





Author: AMIGASYSTEM

AfA One v1.3: New update of my Distro, RTG system based on AfA-OS 4.8, requires prior complete installation of OS 3.9 BB1/2/3/4 "not included"!


Test Video: AfA One Installation


New in this version:
- SysInfo v4.3
- NetSurf By Arti v3.10 (Web Browser)
- IBrowse 2.5 Demo (Works for 30 Minutes)
- MUI 5.0 (Update v20190108r6341)
- RNOPDF v1.3 (PDF Reader)

- Hollywood Multimedia (updated Hollywood bookstores)
- AnimWebConverter v3.0 (Animation Converter)
- GrimoriumPDF v2.06 (PDF Reader)
- VidentiumPicta v2.0 (Image Viewer and Retouching)
- VintageSongPlayer v2.10 (MP3 Player)
- AmigaAMP v3.26 (MP3 Player and Internet Radio Streaming)
- V.A.M.P v2.20 (Multimedia Player)
- New V.A.M.P. Skin Player
- New Uae Config.


Old Installed Software:
- Updated added new Datatypes
- Added Fonts Truetype
- Timidity v0.2i (MIDI / WAVE Converter Player)
- VidRec (Mount WebCamera on Workbench, connect on WinUAE Genlock + VideoFile
- TAR archives (automatic unwinding in Dopus4, Double-Click)
- TAR.GZ archives (automatic unpacking in Dopus4, Double-Click, M-Click)
- Archives 7z (automatic unpacking in Dopus4, Double-Click)
- CLiTyper (sliding text reader)
- StackCheck v1.0 (check for the right application stack)
- EXE Datatypes (Examine executable to discover requirements with Dopus4, Multiview Tool)


Requirements:
- Real AMIGA FPU/CPU 060 (untested) RTG Video Card
- WinUAE FPU/CPU 020/030/040 + JIT 256RAM UAE Zorro III 256 MB RAM
- Minimum 2 GB HD/HardFile Space
- Initialize HD/HardFile formatting with SFS/PFS Filesystem
- Full Installation OS3.9 + BB1/BB2 (Update ROM) /BB3/BB4
- On OS 3.9 Installed, delete "all" the contents of the WBStartup folder
- On OS 3.9 Installed, delete SYS:Utilities/Amplifer


Recommendations:
- Copy all the content of the Hardfile "AfA One.hdf" to HD OS 3.9 overwriting everything
- Install MUI Key (to get the right MUI settings on your applications)
- Copy File Kickstart 3.1 (renaming it "KickStart31") to SYS:?evs/Kickstarts/ (this will allow you to move the windows out of the Workbench screen)

- Configure WinUAE at maximum power, use configured file (.uae) changing only the paths.

WHDLoad is installed you only need to copy your KickStart.

Test Video: AfA One (v1.1)

Test Themes: Change Backgrounds, Pointers and Fonts

Test Audio: AmigaAMP


AfA One includes in the system a Shell capable of handling complex links and of considerable length, so no problem to run or download multimedia from links taken from the Web, a very important operation for NetSurf by Arti thanks to this Shell allows the viewing of Youtube videos through FFPLay, this feature is currently not present in any other modern OS including Amikit8, AmikitX etc. .

N.B: For the correct functioning of Warp3D (Hardware Emulation) and 3D applications preinstalled in AfA One, you must copy the PC library "soft3d.dll" in the folder where WinUAE resides, better if in a subfolder called "PlugIns".

Same for "QuarkTex.alib (OpenGL Games)", "qemu-uae" (PPC emulation), CAPSImg.dll (original IPF floppy management), portaudio.dll (audio management), "UnLZX" (automatic LZX unpacking), "UnRar.dll" (automatic RAR files unpacking)

It looks great.

Any chance of it working with AOS 3.5 or 3.1.4.1?

For the moment OS 3.1.4 does not support some applications used in this system, I have not tested OS 3.5 but I think that even with this OS some applications may not work.

OS 3.5 seemed to do well with it, but I didn't check it extensively. Possibility exists that it's very good with it. I'm mostly using OS 3.1.4(.1) these days to help further bug squishing. But this AfA is cool. At some point I might install it on my real Amiga 4000 partition and check it that way.

I had to eliminate AfA One in order not to have problems of any kind. Someone told me that installing Picasso96 (Shareware from Aminet) could be illegal, i think I will not publish this distro anymore.

ClassicWB has had P96 included for years, and the updated/modified version in HSTWB Installer still includes it. Unless it's the very latest version from icomp.de (which I've actually paid for) then I really don't think it matters. You said yourself that it's SHAREWARE, not licenceware. It's been freely available to anyone on Aminet for ages. MUI is still technically shareware too, but according to numerous forum posts Stefan no-longer responds to emails regarding registration to obtain the keyfile, so it may be safe to assume that it's technically now abandonware.

"The legal status of the shareware archive of P96 v2.0, which has been available on Aminet for years, is not changed: It stays legal to distribute this archive free of charge."

"The shareware status of P96 v2.0 remains active: Re-distribution of this archive remains legal, as long as no money is charged."

So you're absolutely fine!

If anyone wishes to upgrade to v2.2 can buy it from iComp, as I have done.

Does starting RexxMast fix that problem? It is in the System folder.
If yes, check startup-sequence. Normaly it is started from there. If it is not add the line:
SYS:System/RexxMast >NIL:

The error is due to the double execution of the program THE

You have not deleted the old OS 3.9 BB4 applications in WBStartup that are duplicates of my applications in WBStartup/Enable.

Ah yes I got way ahead of myself!

- On OS 3.9 Installed, delete "all" the contents of the WBStartup folder
- On OS 3.9 Installed, delete SYS:Utilities/Amplifer

I missed those two vital steps! Haha

No, because I can always give help and support to the person who installed it.
