Amiga OS 3.9 and FS-UAE

[diablothe2nd]

ok. in cli, just type RAM: and hit enter

then do dir... lha_68k should be there. if not, try lha.run again as it may have extracted itself to the folder you were "in" when running it, instead of extracting itself to ram.

the lha_68k should then appear and work as in previous post

EDIT: and apologies buddy, i'm tired as hell so brain no function well very off to bed in a sec, but you should be all set now. if not someone else will likely chime in to continue from this point onward

well great news it extracted fine now, wait the bad news i clicked the installer, it opens then quits after a few pages saying there's no amigaos39 cdrom yet it is mounted and seen on the desktop

[diablothe2nd]

the cd mount name needs to be

AmigaOS 3.9

under the winuae settings

[Bladeforce]

it is already AmigaOS3.9 in settings i'm using fs-uae by the way. it is mounted on the desktop as "AmigaOS3.9"

Have you tried setting the CD mount name to "AmigaOS 3.9" (with the space) under the WinUAE settings, as diablothe2nd suggested?

[Bladeforce]

i am using linux this is the path to the image of my cd

cdrom_image_0 = /media/Stuff/Roms/Amiga/OS/AmigaOS39.iso

haveto go now so any help will be appreciated but not responded to until tomorrow

[Bladeforce]

i guess i will have to do a full reinstall of the OS, thanks for the previous help guys/girls

[diablothe2nd]

no you don't, you just need to figure out a way of tricking the boingbag's into thinking you've put the real disc in the drive by the name of "AmigaOS 3.9"

maybe a assign would help

[Bladeforce]

well luckily i havent got around to totally doing the os yet so what would you suggest i do to trick the OS?

As Prowler said.

However instead of worrying about naming, you need to make an assign to where files are (easy to copy disc to HDD). So something like "assign AmigaOS 3.9: SYS:TEMP/OS3.9/"
You can then delete the folder after your done.

ok so i have a folder called Amiga that is shared between host and os3.9. i just extract the conetents of my cd into that folder then type

"assign AmigaOS 3.9: SYS:TEMP/OS3.9/"

Is that right?

Yes, but replace SYS:TEMP/OS3.9/ with location of your folder.
As mine was an example.

sorry for sounding a little dumb

my folder is in my home/Emulators/Amiga folder so my command will be:

assign AmigaOS 3.9: SYS:home/Emulators/Amiga/

Even though the OS already has it mounted on the desktop?

?

No, you do this from inside the emulator, nothing to do with host, just emulated.

[Bladeforce]

ok i type

"assign AmigaOS 3.9: SYS:home/ade/Emulators/Amiga/OS/"

i get an error

"invalid device name AmigaOS"

I presume it has something to do with the space, so i delete the space and type:

"assign AmigaOS3.9: SYS:home/ade/Emulators/Amiga/OS/"

I get this error

"cant find SYS:home/ade/Emulators/Amiga/OS/"

I have extracted the contents of the os cd to that exact directory

[amigafreak68k]

Please write:

assign "AmigaOS 3.9:" "<DRIVE NAME OF ALREADY MOUNTED DEVICE>:"

[Bladeforce]

ok thanks amigafreak i typed this:

assign "AmigaOS 3.9:" "AmigaOS3.9:" and press enter and it doesnt say an error and gives me another prompt which i presume is correct. Running Boinbag installer still gives me the cd missing error

[amigafreak68k]

Can you post your config here please?

Can you also post a screenshot of your booted workbench?

I'm not really sure, where the problem is

[Bladeforce]

After struggling away i have just reinstalled it all and BoingBag has run ok. So maybe i had some corruption somewhere who knows but again thanks everyone for the help, very much appreciated
