you dont need vampire to run it.. as i might have mentioned already,my current test setup is a4000/3640/16mb. i readded p4 yesterday. aros is currently compiled for plain 68000 and without optimizations for speed. and it certainly contains a lot of opportunities for improvement. work is being done towards it. just look at the two past weeks highlights: Quote:

I've been working out the kinks with my AROS install for preparation in an A4000 060, Piccolo, AD516, Fastlane and something else that I can't remember. Any idea why 16-bit modes wouldn't be showing up in WinUAE with Piccolo emulation? Also the corrupting of volumes has me a little worried, has this happened to anyone else or is just good old crappy FFS to blame?

since today aros is detecting thew whole range of 68k cpu variants inclusive 080/apollo core. some appropriate asm patches are enabled already, depending on cpu model detected. further poatches have sped up gfx operation to the point that im testing it to be within an acceptable range on an a4000/040/25mhz. still work in progress..
also i see that stepatch doesnt need to be enabled in the s-s manually anymore. thats just few minutes ago. aha, and setting up the screen resolution defaults now to sane values. there shouldnt be any crash anymore due to bogus ones. Last edited by wawa; 28 May 2017 at 22:34. |

cool. you booted with no problem? what model do you have? 600? i cannot judge it by the video. michael seems to have boot issues with his a500 version.
looks pretty fast even with decoration. kalamatee provided a number of speedups few days ago. might even be usable on aga, however then id disable decoration. ah, i see, its a 500er version. wonder whats michaels problem then. |

too excited to look right. i thought it may be apollo hdmi too. you can use p96 driver as you certainly know.
what concerns ide, i dont think it worked better few days ago, because i dont see changes related. it is flaky. i have a problem with a4000, but its completely fine on a1200. we are working on it whole day already. ;/ Last edited by wawa; 30 May 2017 at 23:16. |

@shk

a video of aros running both its own native as well as amiga apps at the same time might be more convincing. |

I think that once these bugs have been fixed and there is an accelerated V2 graphics driver, we will have some Vampire AROS distribution with all the Vampire specific software preinstalled. Of course, anyone would be free to replace this with whatever pleases him but it would be nice to have a common denominator whenever somebody has problems with some part of the software.

For 68k i think disabling theming in the stockbuild totally would be easiest.
I wrote a shell script that removes all of those items from the daily build iso image and constructs a disk image. This is however the wrong place to do such a thing, a aros-lowend build target is what should in all likelihood exist. |

I still think that the baseline for AROS compatibility in 68k would be to reproduce the functionality and looks of a vanilla 3.1 install running on an unexpanded A1200, with the same performance of a real unexpanded A1200. Anything else on top of that which might degrade performance such as higher colour depths, fancier icons, MUI/Zune etc would be at the user's discretion rather than built-in.
I'm sure it's achievable, but it's unfortunate that my 68k coding skills are pretty much non-existent these days. I am seriously considering getting involved in the x86 side of things, but that would mean that I need hardware that can run AROS - and although I have 6 PCs here, AROS won't run on any of them. |

this is exactly what doesnt make sense to me. staying compatible to that functionality, yes, this is our goal, restricting ourselves to it, isnt. if you want vanilla 3.1 functionality use the kickstart and the os your amiga has been delivered with. it is covered.

Having read your previous posts here, your main goal in your Amiga life at present is a fully open-sourced AmigaOS - a noble goal, and laudable. If that can't be achieved using the original software from Commode, then AROS is the logical next step. There really should be an AROS install that comes with a ROM image and five or six floppies, that replicates the original 3.1 KS/WB functionality. However, if the default install requires a minimum of an accelerated and expanded Amiga, then it's not a replacement for quite a lot of users. |
