I do not know, the authors of these distros make open this forum, if they want can intervene them

Author says the scripts to make it are included with last release so anyone can make a new version

Really like the idea behind this project and would like to thank the author. I've made a youtube video demoing it but I'm interested in updating it with more modern x64 ubuntu base with an LTS kernel rather than 4.15 which is EOL and latest fs-uae devlopments.
The scripts that are mentioned in the previous post, could you give more details on these scripts location. I have what I believe is the latest version which is Amilator-4.15-0-2.rar

I have started analysis in the live/filesystem.squashfs file /var/log/apt to work out what is installed.
I'm not a linux expert but keen enthusiast thats learning all the time. :) I seen that it uses nodm which is something I havn't come acrossed.
I have found a set of shell scripts in /amilator. start-emu.sh are these the scripts mentioned?

Does anyone know if there has been development already to update this to recent debian or ubuntu release before I start working on this?

I can understand the reason to base this on 32bit as it can be run on old hardware and we do like to hold on to our old computers ;-)
But with alot more distributions dropping 32bit and I question how many people would use this on i386 hardware still and best moving to x64?

So decided to take a baby step in working on this and just updating the debian 686 version before attempting to make a x64 ubuntu version.

I have updated it to Debian 10 buster which uses 4.19 kernel.
I have also updated FS-UAE from 2.8 to 3.0.5 as there have been some great improvements done to FS-UAE itself.
Have tested it on the machines I have here and looks good but would like people to test it out and give feedback good or negative.
My first attempt at this so learning as I go along but enjoying it so far :)

Excellent. Is there some reason not to use newer kernels?

Lol. This popped up in my YT feed. How relevant? https://youtu.be/oFC1YFUH1_k

Hello all.
I just joined EAB after watching MikeyG Youtube video about Amilator.
Don't know if I will be much of a help here, but I will try my best.

I'm about to play with v 4.15 and would love to try MikeyG version too, but MEGA asks for decryption key! Can I get it ?

@Gohisha Ah thank you for spotting that. You can tell I'm new to MEGA as well. Updated linked. Please try again.

@Methanoid Debian 10 buster is 4.19 based that's the reason why. Ubuntu 20.04 is linux 5.4 thats why I want to look at porting this to Ubuntu but this is more envolved and I wanted to start simple and work on it.
And I've read that very little development and patching is done on 686 platform now so I would like to look at x64.

Thanks MikeyG. Didnt know you had a YT channel (you could maybe mention in a sig discretely!) so subbed :)

FYI, its SYSLINUX not SYSLINK (video!)

I will have to have a play with it.

A video on how to install to HDD without using Syslinux (which i think messes with MBR sector??) would be great ;)
EDIT: https://www.systutorials.com/docs/li...-syslinux2cfg/ might be useful for that sort of thing

Is Amilator project still alive?

Where do you get latest version.

I believe I have 4.9-3 version from few years back...

Anubis, I updated it to 4.19 kernel a while back. I think this is the latest version. I'm not the developer of this, just contributing.

Downloading it, thank you.

Once installed, can you in shell run updates or should I just leave it as it is?

Thank you for contribution! Too sad this seems to be another almost dead project. It is great idea, and I am planning to dedicate one old laptop just for Amiga.

Updating it is difficult - you have to unpack the filesystem blob, replace FS-UAE or update the host OS, then re-pack it before copying it to a USB stick and transferring it via command line to the destination box.

Annoying as hell tbh :)

I still want to revisit this project and maybe look at starting from scratch and seeing if there is a more manageable way. But just havn't found the time.

I didn't make any notes when I made the last update which i should of done as I've forgotten what I did. It's easy when you know how :laughing

I see a video coming [emoji23]

Actually a good update would be to include a 15khz mod, to connect to a CRT with a vga to scart cable.
Don't know if all cards would be compatible, except most AMD/ATI which i guess would work.

Hello How do i install it on a hdd?

A collateral question :
Amilator runs on a linux distro thanks to FS-UAE. Since the Raspberry-Pi also runs a linux distro, do someone tried (or know) if an Amilator version for Pi has been made ?
I am not talking about the other distros based on UAE4Arm, etc., but an Amilator "refactored" for the Pi.

No FS-UAE for Arm so you may as well look at Amiberry or PiMiga

Making a specific search on YT directly returned this from MickeyG. So looks it's doable.
