See instrument for AmigaOS May 2008 Workbench 3 AmigaSYS 4 Software News : AmigaSYS 4 - WinUAE version released! It is a bit late, but finally the new AmigaSYS has arrived. Perhaps this version took the most time, but it was not for nothing. Anybody that has used the older AmigaSYS systems before will see huge differences. The new AmigaDOS 3.0/3.1/3.9 installers are finished with 3-4 times more knowledge and with support for five languages. Both new and old users will experience a lot of new and interesting things in AmigaSYS 4. Almost every install is supported, and maybe the possibility of installing AmigaOS 3.9 without needing to have 3.0/3.1 will attract more people to try it... AmigaSYS 4 Feature list > Installer: Possibilities of the first run: - Commodore Workbench 3.0, - Commodore Workbench 3.1, - Amiga Forever Workbench 3.1, - AmigaOS 3.9 installing opportunity. To install Commodore Workbench 3.0/3.1, you will need your real Commodore Amiga, or Amiga Forever 2006 or 2008 Workbench and Extras disks. Amiga Forever Workbench 3.1 only needs the Workbench disk (Amiga Forever 5,6, 2005 owners only have the Workbench disk on the CD). The one disk installer supports the Commodore Amiga Workbench 3.0/3.1 disk too, but some of the functions (which are on the Extras disk) are not available. AmigaOS 3.9: Direct 3.9 installing (no need to install 3.0/3.1) just put the CD into the drive and select this function and wait, the CD will be automatically recognized by the installer.

Projekt wraz z zespołem który go stworzył, z genialnym Jayem Minerem na czele, trafił pod skrzydła CBM (Commodore Business Machines), giganta w tamtym okresie jeśli chodzi o produkcję komputerów na świecie.

  • Amiga Pod Morphos-Em, Czyli E-UAE
    Amiga pod MorphOS-em, czyli E-UAE Filip "widelec" Maryjański (c) Polski Portal Amigowy (www.ppa.pl) Większość, jeśli nie każdy, z użytkowników MorphOS-a swoją przygodę z amigowaniem rozpoczął od Amigi &quot;klasycznej&quot;. Po uruchomieniu MorphOS-a i nacieszeniu się &quot;amigowym feelingiem&quot; oraz prędkością i jakością aplikacji działających natywnie, nadchodzi czas, żeby przetestować Trance, czyli emulator procesora 68k zawarty w systemie. Z Aminetu pobieramy i uruchamiamy kilka programów. Wszystkie pisane &quot;pod system&quot; działają tak, jak na &quot;klasyku&quot;, lecz z zawrotną dla nich prędkością. W pewnym momencie, spragnieni rozrywki, uruchamiamy jakąś amigową grę i... po paru sekundach mamy pierwszą &quot;zwieszkę&quot; nowego systemu. Co się stało? Gry bardzo często pisane były bez wykorzystania systemowych bibliotek, odwołując się bezpośrednio do układów specjalizowanych Amigi, których Trance niestety nie emuluje. Nie pozostaje nam nic, oprócz wciśnięcia przycisku &quot;reset&quot;, aby po kilku chwilach znów ujrzeć świeżo uruchomionego Ambienta. Zawsze możemy zapomnieć o kilku &quot;trefnych&quot; programach, a gry amigowe zastąpić innymi działającymi natywnie pod MorphOS-em. Cóż jednak zrobić, jeśli koniecznie chcemy uruchomić &quot;trefny&quot; program, a bez cotygodniowej partyjki w &quot;The Settlers&quot; czujemy się chorzy? Tutaj z pomocą przyjdzie nam emulator Amigi UAE, a dokładniej jego rozbudowana, multiplatformowa wersja nazwana E-UAE. E-UAE - z czym to się je? Przed rozpoczęciem zabawy w emulację musimy zaopatrzyć się w kilka rzeczy. Przede wszystkim potrzebujemy samego emulatora oraz pliku ze zgranym kickstartem Amigi. Ten ostatni uzyskamy przy pomocy naszego &quot;klasyka&quot; i załączonego do emulatora programu &quot;transrom&quot;. Dla wygodnych pozostaje prostsze rozwiązanie - zakupienie pakietu &quot;Amiga Forever&quot; firmy Cloanto.
