I'm curious about the +1 GB of RAM for OS4. Is this real or is that just swap?

Also if you have AF 2016 and C64 F 2016 installed at the same time you can merge them into the one interface.

I have installed AF 2016, a bit different player here than in the 2014 version.
I tried to install OS 4.1 FE in it, hell, not much help in the text file that followed that menu item. Yes, you need the ISO of OS 4.1 FE and it's a dual boot with 68040 and PPC together. You need to be an expert to install it. It use a .hdf harddrive image and it's only set to 300 MB, if you use the default settings for PPC OS it will make the image inside the .rp9 file.

I'd say this is misleading. AF is based on WinUAE, so most likely the same limits apply. You can set 1 GB or more Zorro3 RAM, but this is only usable on 68K AmigaOS, maybe with WarpOS or PowerUP extensions. But OS4 still can only use the RAM on the accelerator which is limited by hardware to 128 MB on A4000 and 256 MB on A1200.

This is the config for PPC. Only 128mb shows up as fastmem with OS4.1

Personally 128mb is enough for what I use but it's nice to be able to understand these things. On another note; I see Cloanto are still using the same 7 directories. It would've been nice to be able to add your own dirs like PD or Coverdisks, for example. Or maybe have a dir structure! |

Hi trackah123,
I don't use FB myself so I was wondering if you could ask a question on my behalf. A3000 setup using kick1.4 needs 1mb of motherboard memory to run or you get error can't get memory!. On AF2014 you can get round this by editing the rp9-manifest.xml file and adding the line <ram type="a3000mem">33554432</ram>. This no longer works in AF2016 as all it does is add 1mb fast (z2) memory. Can this be fixed or add Motherboard memory to the configurations panel? Last edited by Arnie; 01 December 2015 at 21:44. |

Hi Arnie.
I think any more technical questions belongs to the regular AF-support page because the FB page is more meant for Cloanto's news announcements. Amiga Forever Support Page |

Thanks, never noticed that page before...doh! I'll send them a message.
EDIT: Hmm, error sending message, I wonder if that's deliberate! Last edited by Arnie; 01 December 2015 at 21:45. |

I'm considering getting this (Am entitled to an upgrade price). I currently have WinUAE with AmigaOS4.1 FE running. Want to clean install my PC with Win10 and then use Amiga Forever.
Do I need to unregister AmigaOS 4.1 first in my current setup (if so how?) before installing and registering it again. Or will it simply continue to work with the correct login data? |
