How to change Mouse Pointer in AmigaSYS4

fitzsteve · 26 August 2010, 11:03

Hi!

Just wondered, if anyone can give me a clue here lol, I've setup AmigaSYS4 to use on one of my Miggy's, but I don't like the 'Hand' pointer, can the default pointer be installed?

I checked the options, I can only see an edit option where you'd have to re-draw the pointer. No default or anything...

Cheers

Steve.

In standard WB3.x,

SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys/Pointer.prefs <-delete that file and reboot.

Thanks I'll make a backup of that file and give it a try

Just move it somewhere else, if it isn't in ENVARC:Sys then it won't get used.

Let me know what you think of AmigaSYS 4 fitzsteve.

I'd appreciate your input as you have used the ClassicWB extensively and they really are quite different packs.

With your more powerful Amiga's, AmigaSYS might appeal to you more as it does have some nice touches and looks cool.

You might even be able to get Amikit onto one of your Amiga's, as someone on youtube did:

How impressive would that look!

Hey Bloodwych!

I'm going to try AmigaSYS4 on my A4000 once its setup with the PicassoIV, but the Mobo is away with Zetr0 having some repairs at the moment (I hope it lives again soon

)

I've already setup a CF card and its ready to go, been playing a bit in UAE, it looks ok - lots of stuff installed to play with.

It'll probably get replaced with CWB OS3.9 though mate, as thats what I've been running on the A4000 and its awesome with the 040@ 40mhz, nice and slick and should look good in RTG

Will let you know how I get on mate, Amikit looks awesome by the way, bus isn't that for PPC's?

Steve.

I think you would require a PPC for decent performance to be honest, but I'm sure someone got it working on a 68K Amiga. It works in WinUAE with a 68K CPU after all.

Here is a guide off the Amikit page http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc...real_Amiga.pdf
