Wise words, demolition. I couldn't have expressed it any better.

Hi there ...Remember me... is there a way of getting a download of this so I can use it in WinUAE...? It would never work in any of my Real Amigas.

New AKReal 9.1 released!
We are happy to announce the release of the new AKReal 9.1 - the unofficial conversion of AmiKit for real Amiga machines.
Mattahan's and 16 colors Ken's Icons have been updated too. We've updated the content with the latest software as well as added many new features (see changelog). https://real.amiga.sk/ Hello Amigans! Well, you may know that it has been a LONG time waiting for this update. AKReal 9 was released in October 2017. So it has been 5 years of making small improvements one after another and making it better step by step just to achieve this very improved version that you can try right now. You may think that this version is only for the real Amigas, but in fact it isn’t. At all. Try it using WinUAE too for a high-color RTG experience. Just a few clicks and you’ll switch it to a wonderful RTG setup. You can also listen to a huge amount of radio stations or listen to classic modules using a large variety of players. You will love it, I promise! This is the only distro ever that, on WinUAE, allows you to change it from the initial 16 colors setup (that is amazing on a real Amiga with a good accelerator like my ACA 1230/56) to many other color formats or even high-color RTG on the fly. Then you can always switch back to 16 colors anytime. You can also change many settings using MorpheuZ and “Better Config” and make your preferred dream come true.

@Retrofan
That's awesome news. I checked the changelog and it seems that a tremendous job is done. I saw there the following: - UPDATED: iGame 2.0b6 by MrZammler, 4 Sep 2020 Why you used that version and not the latest 2.1? Did you have any issues or bugs that need to be addressed? |

@ Retrofan
congrats looks awesome Does this new version work with an existing OS3.2 or OS3.1.4 setup and roms or still needs fresh install of 3.9 and BB 1 & 2 with OS3.1 roms? |

I can't take any responsibility about joining OS3.9BB2 + OS3.2.... BUT IT WORKS . I will tell how to make that in some days in the support thread. In any case, it needs an initial setup with OS3.9BB2 as usual. Last edited by Retrofan; 03 November 2022 at 23:10. |

Just to tell that I've updated post one of this thread to show some screenshots and that I've also added a how-to guide to install OS3.2 over AKReal (OS3.9 BB2) here: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...postcount=1032

Hey Retrofan
I recently purchased this for use in WinUAE, and everything seems to be working great so far. (I also have the full AmiKitXE package as well.) As with AmiKitXE, I don't bother to update AKReal to OS3.2 as that means I can no-longer use the AfA_OS themes, such as Ken's excellent "X1". Questions... 1) Is it possible to switch to UAEGFX instead of using the PicassoIV ROM without breaking things? I tried but couldn't figure it out. 2) Slightly unrelated, but did you tweak your script for launching iGame with music? I could never get it to work in OS3.2 when I tried in the past. Suggestions for the next release (perhaps just a mini update?)... SID Station Radio stream has changed. Here's the current working URL: http://ams1.reliastream.com:8054/stream NEWER VERSIONS (LATEST TO DATE): WHDLoad v18.9 - http://whdload.de/whdload/?C=M;O=D iGame v2.2 - http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/iGame HippoPlayer v2.54 - http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/hippoplayerupdate AmigaAMP v3.32 - http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/AmigaAMP3-68k IMP v3.382 - http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/imp3 IconLib v46.4.567 - http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4 TextEditor.mcc v15.56 - http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MCC_TextEditor-15.56 BetterString.mcc v11.36 - http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MC...erString-11.36 NList.mcc v0.128 - http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MCC_NList-0.128 TheBar.mcc v26.22 - http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MCC_TheBar-26.22 AmiSSL v5.5 - http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/AmiSSL-5.5-OS3 MMULib v47.5.1 - http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/MMULib WBDock v2.604 - https://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-onlin...ga/wbdock2.lha MUI v5.0-20210831 - https://github.com/amiga-mui/muidev/releases I've manually updated these myself, but I thought you might want to include them with the next release :-) Many thanks to you and of course Jan for your time and effort. Keep up the excellent work. |

Installing UAEGFX is much easier than Picasso: - Set Up On WinUAE Board RTG UAE Zorro III (RAM 256 MB). - Copy UaeGfx and UaeGfx.info to Devs/Monitors - Copy "Emulation.library" and "rtg.library" to Libs/Picasso96 (you can move or delete everything else in the Picasso96 folder) - After a reboot run Screenmode and choose the Video Resolution |

Hi bjdcleary. Just to tell that we should talk in the "Support thread". That's why there are two threads.
So... please a moderator move this conversation there, please. Quote:

If it doesn't work for you, send me a PM and we talk. It works. Edit: About the update of Hippoplayer, I tried it and it didn't work right*. That's all, and that's why it isn't here. I didn't want to tell just because I don't have much time to try any update. If it doesn't work, it won't be here, sorry. But I've always said that it's not only what I do for You in any update, so if YOU (people) can try this update and tell me how to get this working right, I'll add it with pleasure. It isn't easy: it has to able to work on AGA/RTG, Scalos/Workbench, etc, etc. Many, many things. That's why it's so hard to make any update. *I remember that it was failing when using it from a script (Better config). Last edited by Retrofan; 08 November 2022 at 13:49. |

New AKReal 9.2 released!
Merry Xmas everybody
We are happy to announce the release of the new AKReal 9.2 - the unofficial conversion of AmiKit for real Amiga machines-. This is a new FREE update just to thank you for all of your support and … 'cause it's Christmas time . Mattahan's and 16 colors Ken's Icons have been updated too. 16 Colors Screenshots: We've updated the content with the latest software as well as added many new features (see changelog). You will find for example an implemented AI with AmigaGPT (now working with OS3.9), nicer AmiStart Menus (shorter without the mostly useless option that was on the top of the bar), updated Radio Stations and some more options for example to change the pointer or if you are using RTG to change the images and configs to use RTG instead with a couple of clicks, etc, etc. To enter to the http AKReal site (http://real.amiga.sk) you should use a VPN (as an example, I am using the free "Urban VPN" and I enter from “Argentina”) and then you must enable the options to enter to a “not secure” place. You can also enter with IBrowse (updated) once you have AKReal installed. In any case, these are direct links which you can use with Firefox (for example) on your PC: - New AKReal 9.2 Full installation - Upgrade 9.0 > 9.1 : Upgrade Extra Icon Sets for AKReal 9.2: - Mattahan’s Icons Pack - Ken’s Icons 16 colors - Free older version: AKReal 9.0 If you have AKReal 9.1 and you have internet connection, you'll see that the “Live update” program will tell you that there is a new version available to be downloaded. Just let it download the files and make the update. It will check if you have room enough in your HD or also if the download process of the files worked right because we’ve added the Filesize program. Have fun and enjoy. Merry Christmas! Retrofan Changelog: AKReal 9.2 by Retrofan (December 2023). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ADDED: Freeware PowerWindows 1.3 by by Georg Steger, 10/11/2000. - ADDED: Some existing RTG 1024x768 wallpapers saved now in iff format. - ADDED: UAEgfx by Toni Willen in Sys: Devs/Monitors to be used with RTG when needed. - ADDED: New option in Morpheuz to change the pointer or also the wallpapers/backdrops/skins used if you are already using some RTG option in your Amiga. - ADDED: AmigaGPT version 1.2.0 by Cameron Armstrong.

QUESTIONS ---------------------- Q- My hard drive is full of things. Can I make the update? A- You need at least 35 MB free on your hard drive for the update. The update installer will detect if you have room enough to update it. Q- What happens if I'm using Mattahan’s icons and I update to AKReal 9.2, do I have to install it all again? A- The installer will detect and update them. You can also install the complete pack over it or you also can use the Icons pack installers to install the original icons&original positions of them. Q- It looks like you have a lot of work on your shoulders. Have you got a place to buy you a coffe? A- Thanks for supporting the effort. Yep, there is a place to support this conversion at http://real.amiga.sk/donations.htm or Paypal-Me THANKS ---------------------- To all of the ones that can give whatever kind of support... I can see and Feel it. You know: "Amiga: ... Still Alive!" To @bjdcleary from Southampton at EAB for his suggestions. Very helpful. Thanks to all of you who supported this or any previous version of AKReal: Oliver Roberts, Thomas Rapp, Richard Kapp, Peter Keunecke, Stephen Fellner, Henryk Richter, Thore, Jens Maus, Bert Jahn, Andreas Falkenhahn, Darius Brewka, Michael Gibs, Johnny Acevedo and many, many others.

I was wondering: Can you imagine about a Better setup with just 16 Colors? Just please try this.
Edit: And also... What about if you can have an RTG system with a Vampire or a PiStorm?. That's why the Support thread was made: "INSTALLING RTG graphics having a Vampire or a PiStorm" https://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p...postcount=1071 Last edited by Retrofan; 15 May 2024 at 02:12. |
