Amilator (Was: FS-UAE Standalone like Amithlon) - Page 3

07 September 2017, 14:06

Here's a lightweight distro that includes FS-UAE (latest from git) and can boot from a USB stick:

https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/30...s-if-problems/

Boot it with the "run" option in syslinux then create /storage/.config/autostart.sh like this:

Code:

while true
do
  /usr/bin/fs-uae.start
done

It'll then boot straight into FS-UAE just like Amithlon. You could even put an Amiga logo in /flash/oemsplash.png to get a proper boot splash.

Possible explanation simple and detailed for those who do not know Linux?

AMIGASYSTEM · 08 September 2017, 13:21

Resolved, now OS4.1 has also started successfully on Amilator, see screenshot.

Uhm, that was the simple explanation

There's a link to detailed description as well, so what is it you were wondering?

AMIGASYSTEM · 08 September 2017, 18:43

LAN Network sharing with PC Amilator and AFA OS and Os4.1 is perfectly connected

I build a new one from the ground based on latest Debian with kernel 4.9 and is working the same way as the previous with kernel 3.16.
It took me some days to figure out how everything is working.

AMIGASYSTEM · 11 September 2017, 08:02

Thank you, i will be happy to test!

I would like to can test it too. Please can you provide a link for downloading? Moreover can you try to use ubuntu ? Despite is similar to Debian it seems to be more compatible and support almost all hardware.

nobody · 11 September 2017, 10:10

Still testing. I fixed some things like no auto loading video drivers for acceleration, re-enable rc.local because it's disabled in new Debian, and now I have to fix mouse because my wireless mouse is not working in fs-uae, only touchpad. I guess i have to change permissions on mouse device (because it's working if I stop fs-uae). I installed lubuntu on my netbook that has all tools to build a Debian from scratch, so I installed all packages by hand from zero ground. Ubuntu actually is Debian with some specific tools build for it.

Later I will provide a link to this test version.

Great work! I might give this a whirl when you're ready but really I'm (not so) patiently waiting for FS-UAE to implement the Win-UAE changes that permit UAE devices with PPC only OS. I'm not sure when that's coming (I think I may have read v3) and of course that is out of our control.

nobody · 11 September 2017, 14:41

Try this on a blank usb. This is the new one with kernel 4.9, still using scripts from Amilator (why change if they work?).
EDIT: new link

Thanks. Just a question: Contain both 32 and 64 bit version?

nobody · 11 September 2017, 16:12

It's 32bit with pae kernel (will see more than 3gb RAM or so on 32bit).

Thanks !!! Just tested: Works for me (Latitude d610) !!! Wlan is not recognised but I've the same problem with the original Amilator.

I'm still getting the NOTIFY_USER MSG #2.
Anyone can explain NOTIFY_USER MSG #2?
Is there any table reference for NOTIFY_USER MSG?

Does video works with 2D acceleration? Have sound?

Sound yes, Video Acceleration No, and mouse is not recognised (works only touchpad) but maybe this depends because is a very old notebook.

I need to test again original amilator to see the differences.
