FS-UAE Real Hard Disk works is mounted (OS 4.1)

I too want Amideb for my OS 4.1 :-)

A couple of linux tip's. Type 'exit' when you are finished in the shell, and the menu will then get re-loaded.


When changing directory's. you can type the first letter of the directory and then press the tab key to complete it. The same thing will a also work for commands.


Also be aware you are running things as the root user. You need to get out of the habit of doing that and use the normal 'amiga' user and when you want to run commands that require root access put 'sudo' in front of them.


I don't run anything as the root user in my test installs.

@vk3heg,

Thanks for your suggestions,

uae_gfxcard_hardware_sprite
it is reported as an option that dates back to 3 years ago but I do not understand if it is possible to activate it.
Now I try.

I finally managed to get E-UAE to work with the JIT (not in the 4.1 configuration it is not necessary to activate it) it is active in E-UAE but it is still not perfect this takes some time.
And the hardest part in Amigaos 4.1.

Also I was wondering if it was possible to write a simple script in Python3 that possibly uses "wget" to download specific files to add in the basic AmiDeb menu as an option.

Here is an example:
the python3 script downloads this file:

http://os4depot.net/share/video/convert/ffmpeg.lha

and saves it by default in the same directory where "Download.py" is located

a Python3 script for multiple downloads would be even better
but singles are fine too. :-)

there is a question I would like to ask which is this:
the memory "Z3 of fs-uae"

what is it called?

this is an example of "E-UAE with WINUAE"

fastmem_size = 0
chipmem_size = 4
z3mem_size = 64
gfxcard_size = 32
chipset = aga

Does FS-UAE recognize these commands or should they be written differently for the Z3 memory?
I believe this is what causes me to crash in (E-UAE) using PicassoIV as a graphics driver.

Thanks. I have other questions but I will ask them little by little.

Thanks again.

@vk3heg
I worked on it for a while and activated the JIT in E-UAE
Through AmigaOS 4.1FE
I have chosen three Demos as an example, in practice it works well.

Now I just wanted to understand if the problem lies in FS-UAE
or in AmiDeb.

In practice, if I do "reset" or "hard reset" from the AmiDeb menu
JIT is no longer activated in E-UAE for AmigaOS 4.1.
In practice, to make it work I have to go back to the AmiDeb "shell"
And relaunch the configuration again manually then it is activated again.

Nothing particularly annoying but it was just a warning in case this could be improved.

Furthermore, E-UAE is very convenient to use.
But "AmiDeb" I noticed:
use this key combination to return to the menu:
CTRL + ALT + Q
unfortunately they are the same commands that E-UAE uses to exit the program if I want to use it in full screen because it works perfectly also in full screen.

It is possible to disable this combination of commands in AmiDeb:
CTRL + ALT + Q?

Where can I find the file to manage the keyboard shortcuts in AmiDeb to edit them.

Eventually if you prefer you can help me in PM.

Thanks again.

I'm doing a lot of other things that work. I ask a few questions at a time.

Here the JIT activated E-UAE in AmigaOS 4.1FE (AmiDeb):

Send me the Python script and I'll take a look.


The config options for z3 memory is:


zorro_iii_memory = 524288




Type: Choice Default:
Example: 65536


Override the amount of Zorro III Fast memory, specified in KB. Must be a multiple of 1024. The default value depends on [amiga_model]. Requires a processor with 32-bit address bus, (use for example the A1200/020 model).


Value: 0 (0 MB)
Value: 1024 (1 MB)
Value: 2048 (2 MB)
Value: 4096 (4 MB)
Value: 8192 (8 MB)
Value: 16384 (16 MB)
Value: 32768 (32 MB)
Value: 65536 (64 MB)
Value: 131072 (128 MB)
Value: 262144 (256 MB)
Value: 393216 (384 MB)
Value: 524288 (512 MB)
Value: 786432 (768 MB)
Value: 1048576 (1024 MB)

Let me get this straight.. Your running an Emulator inside of a Emulator?

ie: Fs-Uae to emulate AmigaOS 4.1, then E-Uae to emulate Amiga OS 1...3.1 inside of the AOS4.1 system?

Why not just setup the other options to emulate the standard 6800x systems?
AmiDeb can do all of them, as it's just a system for running FS-UAE in linux without all the extra crud.


I'm not doing any key remapping in AmiDeb. The only time keyboard/Language setup is done is when the installer asks what to use for the keyboard and language.

@vk3heg
Hi
Thanks for your answers,
I'm finishing perfecting the whole configuration.
Everything works fine.
I was having trouble hosting peripherals (but it was my mistake)
Now I understand how they work.

As soon as I finish everything I will make you a complete report.
But currently it works great.

I also ask you I would like to use the 4-dev version but unlike 3.2.11 once updated the menus do not work anymore.

Do you have any suggestions on how to update AmiDeb to 4-dev version?

https://fs-uae.net/files/FS-UAE/Mast..._x86-64.tar.xz

What are the right paths?

Thanks again.

Here you can see Alien Breed 3D The Killing Ground
With E-UAE with JIT activated.

I used a modified version of E-UAE "SDL"
It can still go faster but I used basic backup with the old setup but didn't feel like recording another video :-)
Also I played with the keys not with the "mouse".

But you can see the results is just one example.
I use E-UAE because if I use 4.1 I like that it works like the other programs for 4.1.

I really like AmiDeb
I used a real hard drive not fast it is connected via "usb"

I can also load the same hard disk with "winuae" to see the differences and possibly make comparisons.
For testing purposes.

I would try and run the 4.x like the 3.2.11 beta is.. I've not looked at 4.x of FS-UAE.


If you make the 4.x FS-UAE standalone in it's own directory, that might work for you.

I have installed the 4-dev version but once the system is started the interface is completely different with the black central screen and the function LEDs at the edges, and also the "key" F12 no longer calls the interface.
Maybe it can be useful in some way to troubleshoot its installation.

I had never noticed "CPU GOVERNOR"

doing it like this:
echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

"CPU GOVERNOR" no longer appears
but on reboot I have to do it again.

Is there any way to make it final with AmiDeb without creating a script?

Resolved:
echo 'GOVERNOR'="performance"' | sudo tee /etc/default/cpufrequtils

possibly install
sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils



Thank you.

Alternatively, if gamemoded is installed (https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode), then FS-UAE will automatically use that to set fperformance mode on startup (and revert back when quitting).
