Complete alternative guide to install AmigaOS 4.1

[White]

Time passes and in my spare time, I decided to create an installation package for amigaOS 4.1 FE.
This time I decided not to create more guides dedicated to AmigaOS 4.1 FE classic 53.71.
But do something much more concrete, something that is simple to use for those who use winUAE.
Probably if I have no feedback for the interest of this package.
The project will remain only for personal use.
Although I would like to have advice on how to finish the job I did.
Especially from the point of view of copyright and related advice, I am not an expert in this.
Here you can see what I'm doing using my purchased personal copy.

here the work I did in my tests, it is a complete package that installs all the applications that are used for amigaOS 4.1FE fun.
Without being experts in winUAE but only for those who bought the copy and maybe can't get a fun use of the system.
I have never seen an advanced use of winUAE with 4.1 this because Toni's emulation, however extraordinary, was not created for a use of 4.1 ppc.
If you can watch some videos here, in practice the work is completed.
I would just like to have some opinion on this and if it can be considered interesting.
The package will take care of installing all the applications available to you with the scripts already configured and ready for use on a system consisting of 2 AmigaOS = HD0 and Work = HD1 partitions in a completely automatic manner.
tried and tested by me over time and above all not coming into conflict with each other.
Thanks!

Completed the basic installation script of amigaOs 4.1FE Classic 53.71
installation time 5-6 minutes including UAEgfx sb128 ethernet already configured.
At the moment it remains for demonstration purposes only, although I would like to put it online but at the moment it's not possible.
With another installation script in 10 minutes you would have a system ready to use to do a little bit of everything.

@White

Thanx for doing this.

[White]

@Pyromania
thanks, they are just examples.
For example, RunInUAE must be installed before the uaegfx driver, in this way the crash is avoided.
I have to do some tests on other software but I have almost finished.
Too bad for the lack of interest in this OS.
But only those who have used amigaOS have fun with this system and try to emulate it, and even if it has some limits if configured well it can be fun.
Perhaps using a simplified installation many people can try it.

Hello, The link at https://1drv.ms/b/s!Am9nRCGb_XSzpSYZt0tmBgY7JBrx doesnt work. Can you repost please. Thank you

Hi davethemackem,
here you find the link of the written guide long ago.
Many things changed when that guide was written.
However, it remains an excellent starting point for the configuration of the 4.1 FE Classic.
I hope you can be useful in some way.
Currently I have created a completely automatic installation program as soon as I have time I will put it online.
As you can see in the post, few people have intervened to share their experiences, and support for this system is really scarce.
So if you encounter difficulties or feel the need to share your experiences I would like to.
I would also like to know what hardware you use for its use.
To understand the speed of execution with this emulation I use an I5 2400.
Currently I was thinking of buying a "ryzen 3600X" given the affordable prices.
Among the many things I was thinking of creating something for AmigaForever for the 4.1 FE Classic.
Every person has problems.
This helps me to overcome and take my mind off at certain times because for years I have been facing a battle alongside my wife and I still do it today because it is a terrible disease that destroys life.
But you need to be strong and move forward and the mind needs to think of something else.
Well I hope it can be useful in some way.

Small test with odyssey without the use of YT.rexx
with an I7 4770k.
I changed the user agent to do some tests.
The video is viewed directly in the browser
Odyssey seems to work well, although there is still plenty of room for improvement.
Too bad this software is not updated
here the video if someone follows this system

Well I would say that we are here, odyssey starts to go well for videos on youtube are very fluid.
Taking into account that the registration program "steals" some frames.
I had to make some changes in the audio drivers to improve the sound and the compatibility using the FM801 that work perfectly now also with RunInUAE (E-UAE) and with the rest.
winuae for ppc was an experiment by Toni, whom I thank again.
But even if not fully supported I am happy with this system and I enjoy it.
I still have to move everything to sata III, I'm still modifying windows 10 etc ...
In the end, uaegfx is more than sufficient for retro use for its use.
I hope it's useful to someone who intends to use it. :-)

Also tried Odyssey with aiostreams directly on this site to see in this case the live of twitchtv:

https://aiostreams.amiga-projects.net/

Many thanks to the author "walkero" for this project works perfectly.
Thanks also to "Petrol" for the script arexx that integrates perfectly in the menus of odyssey to make it work directly with FFPlay with a simple click on the video we want to see.

Amigaos 4.1 final edition update 1, tests continue, this will also be included in the complete installation package to have a functional and fun to use amigaos.

RunInUae now also works with .hdf files
simply corrected a line in the E-UAE configuration file

Thanks, to all the people who worked on this porting.
Diablo 1 now works on amigaos 4.1FE Classic.

now you can also select 1080p to view the video

[ Show youtube player ] <----SDL 2 to work you need patchcompositetags 1.36 (aminet)

Another test with Odyssey the lag and just maybe a second before the video starts.
Then everything works well.
Test carried out on .hdf

The configuration is somewhat strange for the moment but it works!
the test was carried out at a resolution of 1920x1080

Yet another test, I had to get a little familiar with the new machine, and understand where the cpu can go.
I am a very simple person so I am not going to shorten the life of the CPU, but I wanted to document myself and understand what it can do.
here a test carried out with the I7 4770k at 4.4 ghz with a simple overclocking driven by a good very stable motherboard.
for me that I had an amiga like all of you, and then having the ability to use 4.1 with winuae is nice.
I'd say it's time for us to put together all the software for 4.1 and then have something that works as I always wanted.
On the other hand, when I had a real amiga the taste was to push beyond the 68k workbench and see where it arrived.

Of course I would like to see a Ryzen that uses 4.1 to understand the differences since there must be of course.


taking into account that the software that I use for video capture sometimes comes into conflict with the winuae audio driver but this only on windows 10 but it is solvable.
Otherwise the whole is simply fluid and works, apart from a few minor tweaks (perhaps directly in 4.1)
I always ask for other things I can't learn :-)

for those curious about a small random test:
1080p can also be selected for video

Today I took the ZTools, I had wanted to try them for some time.
Now Odyssey is doing very well.
Certainly I will have to experiment a lot with the priority of the tasks.
But the result is excellent
I wish other people would try this os and share their experiments.

New test, my attention has shifted to a configuration, which must be compatible with all the software used with amigaOS 4.1FE.
The configuration differs slightly from the standard used usually.
here Odyssey with Youtube then E-UAE and some live streams on twitchTV.
I'm happy, everything seems to be going well.
video can be selected at 1080p

Another test, this time with MUI screen using Odyssey.
It is not easy to integrate and do these tests.
But it still remains a reminder of what you can do to have fun with 4.1.
Thank you very much Thematic for giving me this tip.
On which I will experience many other things.
Here as usual a short video for those who are curious :-)

The completion for the installation script continues
now with a simple click the applications will be installed directly on the internet.
Without going into details, it works as it should
I hope it is useful for those who want to try the 4.1FE update1
There are some things to fix but only in my mind :-)
I just need to finish the details and do some tests for the system in general.
Special thanks to Petrol for his suggestions.

A small change to the script, now the downloaded archives are deleted after the automatic decompression of the .lha files
The installation is cleaner and takes up no more space than that of the directories created.
And to complete the installation process, but only to make it pleasant and clean.
I want to clarify that I put videos because I think they are much more practical to better understand the work.
Also of course the script also works with AmigaForever 8
Every comment is always welcome, all it does is improve the work, if constructive.

Finally I managed to understand why the workbench was not fast with E-UAE
I insisted on creating the workbench with WinUae.
But they are two different things, without going into perhaps unnecessary details you have to create everything through the 4.1FE update1 for everything to work well.
Now E-UAE SDL works with uaegfx the speed is very good.
Obviously there is room for improvement, as soon as I can I will optimize the configuration file better.
currently I have used the workbench present in AmigaForever-8 but actually it served me as an experiment to try.
In order to work well, the 3.xx workbench must be completely installed and implemented inside E-UAE without using WinUae.
I have to practice but the road is the right one :-)
Although the demos and games were fast, the workbench now works well
Even if the variables are there, it is always emulation.
