this is better solution:

supply power direct from Amiga PORT:
IMPBOX_AMIGA_POWER.pdf manual by sk00ter - http://impbox.amiga.company/IMPBOX_AMIGA_POWER.pdf

use wire to close one resistor on Amiga motherboard, then simply close JP1 jumper in IMPBOX to get power direct from paraller port

Neat! Not a fan of modding mobos, but this is nice!

With recent updates I have a few problems with IMP3

1. Screen redraw performance on CGX 8bit screen is super slow
when running in 16bit, it is nice and smooth

Suspecting it has something to do with blinking colours ?
Possibly the chosen method is not the best for RTG

2. Requesters, nobody has issues ?
Sometimes they are very long, and don't fit the screen, even 1024 wide!
Had to make a workaround with ReqAttack to put the buttons vertically
so this is not going to work on a smaller setup

3. Problem with opening text files in Multiview
Something does go on, but obviously also something is wrong too
Anyway, MultiView does not open the file, nothing happens visually
but Snoopy reports that there were some actions

1. only 8bit screen should be used, i am using rtg on some amiga on some amigas not, i am using blinking. i think you have some patch or other problem on your os
2. I need specific information about which requester, no one has reported anything like this, and by definition I try to make them short so that they can easily fit on 640 (maybe you have a huge font?)
maybe you have old reqtools.library, you cen delete it from libs:, reboot amiga and start imp3 - imp3 will download a good one reqtools.library version
3. copy multiview to c: and try again

[juen]

command /whois (nick) UPDATED!

modbuddy, and best songs

[3.423, 23.02.2024]

1. This is best observed when solid window dragging is enabled
also on real machine with CGX, the interrupt happens so hard
that lets say your 'FPS' drops to 2 frames a second,
while in 16+bits its smooth



2. The prefs requester is over 710 pixels wide with topaz/8 or similar fonts
The mode selection is even bigger



3. This is not default location the OS has it, yes it will work if placed there but this is wrong. Maybe do a presearch where the binary is located
typically in utilities, could be in tools or c (rare and why?),
anything else is way of.

Solid Windows should not be enabled, that is bad patch. There is no advantage to using a 16 bit screen instead of an 8 bit one in imp3

2. Did you updated reqtools as i said?
3. Just copy it for test to c:

1. Yes and no, it's irrelevant, just the best case to see the problem
Overall refresh of display is slow, like scopes, window rendering
in 16+ it is nice and fast, since the colour regiser triger has no effect


2. Out of curiousily, you provide some ancient version, and yes, it does not help, it behaves exactly the same


3. It works from C, but this is not the point, it should not be there, there is a system default place for it

[juen]

so problem is for 100% on your side, good luck with finding it

[juen]

recently was addes some long-play-time mp3:

amstrad cpc demo music - kangaroo demos.mp3
amstrad cpc 464 music - david whittaker.mp3
Dreamweb - Soundtrack CD Audio.mp3
42_zx spectrum_128k_ay_ game_music_tunes.mp3

somehow they allow us to listen to some music from zx and amstrad

@juen:

Maybe you could take a look at following error, please. I can crash my AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 100% while doing this:

1. Play a short mod in IMP3
2. Keep pressing the right mouse button (open a menu).

When the mod ends, my X5000 freezes. This is 100% reproducable on my system.

My guess is that there is an issue when another process or component does a Forbid() or blocks the system using another method while the mod is changing/unloading.

If I do not do anything while listening to mods, the system is rock stable. But even a beep while the mod is ending will freeze my system.

Maybe the ptreplay library is the issue here, as it only happens while listening to mods.

Thank you,
Flynn

FTA - i will equip soon my amiga ppc with os4.1 and i will check this

Hi Juen !

Forgive me if it's been asked before : can it harm my A1200 to have the impbox powered while the 1200 is not ?

Cheers !

[Predseda]

No. I always start impbox first.

[Bartos]

Imp3 is a good Program, and it runs Hours on my Setup (Amiga1200 with IceDrake v4) Network is realized with Roadshow IP Stack trough the IceDrake V4 Network Port

I've left my impbox powered on for hours after shutting the A1200 down (forgot to disconnect the power source) more than once and no harm has been done.

[mahen]

May I ask the opposite question ? Is it OK to keep the impbox connected to the Amiga but unpowered ?

[Predseda]

I never unplug IMPbox from my Amiga.
