New AKReal released

[Retrofan]

Sorry I'm not good with WinUAE, dunno.

Edit: This is my WIP 3rd update (yes, I've begun). To start, a complete WB2000 remodelation:

Getting this with some of my games, even though kick34005.a500 is in that directory.

Also OperationWolf runs way too fast


EDIT : Works fine with FS-UAE :9

I seriously doubt that with FS UAE it doesn't tell you the kickstart is wrong.

Edit: (PM on the way too). BTW Have you posted something about this on your web? Hehe... I like to read...
Edit2: And please, post (here) photos of the Real version only.

Oh it does!

Happened with a bad install before, gave kickstart errors. I think it's just a corrupt kickstarter on the Amikit side from me. So i'll try again to fix when I get home

[Neil79]

All fixed regarding devs:kickstarts, thanks for the pm help!

We are happy to announce the release of new full and update archives of Real AmiKit v0.4 beta.

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

New features include more applications and a better WB2000 taskbar with four options how to install it: Full, Half, Lite and Light, so you can select the best option for your system (graphics vs speed). You will find new icons, patterns, and NetSurfAGA Beta. New wallpapers were added as well. We are introducing new custom made Magellan menu bar.

New MorpheuZ option called "Preferences" allows you to choose from different configurations of Workbench2000 and TinyMeter or lets you install eg. 060 CPU library. It is advised to run MorpheuZ right after the installation of full archive so you adjust the options according to your taste. If you plan to update your previous AmiKit installation, those options can be set during the update process.

Thanks a lot to Thomas Richter for the MMULib, Michael Sinz for Enforcer, PeterK for his icon.library, Gibs for AmigaParachute and Arti for his NetSurfAGA conversion. Also thanks to Novacoder for his help on this last, Thomas like always, and to James for his great tips betatesting it.

Enjoy!

Real AmiKit v0.5 released.

We are happy to announce the release of new full and update installers of Real AmiKit!

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

New features include new programs like BDWatch, BDSlide, WBStartup++, BlackBorder and many more and two new Start Menus for Magellan - now they are located on screen's title bar! TinyMeter dock bar is also new - for those who prefer to use Workbench instead of Magellan. You can configure it using MorpheuZ.

Several programs have been added to Startup-Sequence to speed up the system (and now, if you have an ACA, you can copy ACATune to "C" folder using MorpheuZ.) The commands to use the ACATune have been improved too; now we are using them in Startup-Sequence and in User-Startup through MMU.

Beautiful desktop clocks were added too (see screenshots below). There's a new booting song by Gibs (which you can choose in Startup-Sequence or if you are updating from v0.4 the installer lets you listen to booting songs first and then you can choose the one you like the most). New wallpapers were added as well. ShutDown button has been added to Tools.

Thanks a lot to Thomas for his help with installer, programs, etc, PeterK and James for their support, Mfilos for some tips and to Gibs for his great booting song. Also thanks to Guido Mersmann for VBRControl, MattHey for CopyMem, Thomas Richter for SaferPatches and PoolMem, Jens from Individual Computers for his ACATune, again to PeterK for MinStack and to all the betatesters that have given support trying it.

We are also releasing the so awaited and absolutely new Mattahan's Icons Set. This is an optional add-on for Real AmiKit v0.5 and higher. The icon set is intended for WinUAE or Amigas with powerful accelerators using enough amount of colors. The installation is reversible, of course. Many thanks to Mattahan for his permission to use his png icons, and also to JKSKetchy and to BlackCatLove1 for their permission to use the wonderful Black Cat as an icon for the AmiKit volume.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you for trying it. You already have the 060 library if you use MorpheuZ, preferences, CPU libraries since the 04 update. I can not leave them installed so it has to be the user using MorpheuZ :

If you select for example an 030 and later you want to use an 060 you can run the new MorpheuZ option, "Preferences" and select it, or copy it from the MMULib program in AmiKit:Utilities/Expansion, or you can also run again this installer and select that Cpu.

Why? Because if you run Enforcer and SegTracker from the s-s and you have all the libraries there, a message like this will appear:

"68060Lib Installation Alert. The 68060 library requires a 68060, do NOT use it on a 68040. No exceptions, no excuses, no discussion. It won't work this way."

So I'm only installing what you select.

can test on 500 with aca500 or need different cpu and more ram?

I would like to know. You need of course to connect another accelerator to the ACA500, with 16mb of ram, and you should disable the booting image on the s-s and store AmiDock on the Disabled drawer. If it works right with ECS and your accelerator tell me and I can send you the booting image remapped to 16 colors instead of 256 that it has.

Real AmiKit v1.0 released

We are happy to announce the release of new full and update installers of Real AmiKit!

Free download ava¡lable at http://real.amiga.sk/

Now including new programs like Riva or ToolsDaemon for Workbench, new FullPalette preferences (so now if you use sixteen colors your Ken's drawers aren't grey anymore), six new themes, more wallpapers, a drawer full of working radio Streams that you can use for example with AmiNetRadio, new options for MorpheuZ so you can use a faster Dock Bar for Workbench or Scalos without CPU meter, some more mods added, new boot sounds by DJNick and many small details changed on backdrops or images used on Workbench2000, on the TinyMeter Menu bar or with the icons used with the Start Menus.

Many thanks to Thomas for his great help with the installer, updates of his programs, etc, PeterK for his FullPalette preferences and support, James for his tips to improve it all, Stephen Fellner for Riva, Bernd for his help with AfAOS, DJNick for the booting sounds and to all the betatesters that have given support trying it.

The update installer will also update the Mattahan's Icons Set for those that are using it.

Have fun!




(No graphic card used in the screenshot, just 256 colors.)

Looks excellent! I'm going to try this tomorrow!
Well done Retrofan

[Retrofan]

Thanks Amicol. Remember you all have got the Support Thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=67562&page=14

I also comment that because there are a lot of options; you can ask how to change the wallpaper, how to put that watch or whatever. For Workbench there are also more options; now you've got ToolDaemons that gives you some more options on the menu, or you can also use -just selecting it with MorpheuZ, Preferences, TinyMeter, Dock Bar- a new transparent Dock bar for Workbench that I've made with Tinymeter.

[groundplayer]

Just tested both update and full version in winuae and realmiggy (1200+mediator+68060+voodoo), both work great. Had couple of crashes with installer, turned medi and voodoo off, and update went fine. BIG ThankYou Retrofan !

[Retrofan]

Great . A video would be also wonderful
