AROS One 68k Finished soon publishing, it was very hard, AROS 68k as said is much more stable although still not compatible with OS 3.9 and old OS3 applications, MUI OS3 Applications work very well, many run through Zune, those less "well done" you have to direct them to MUI, created special MUI folder in Libs, alternative path where MUI Applications look for MUI libraries.

Same for older Hollywood Applications using older versions of Rapagui is respective Plug-In MUI in 'native OS3' version.

I enclose a small video showing some functions of AROS One 68k v2.0, the graphic appearance Themes and Icons included are identical to those used by AROS One x86 !

New version of AROS One 68k for those who wish to test it before release.

System is software should work well, the test is to check if there are any inconveniences since in the last few days or modified and added more on the hardfile.

Important, if you want to try other OS3 software, before installing it try it in RAM, as already said O3.9/3.2 software is not supported, as very old OS 2.0/OS 3.0/3.1 or poorly designed software is not supported, The software to be preferred is MUI software, much more compatible.

AROS One 68k can also run on Vampire and the like, but you have to add the necessary software to run these cards, the "SAGA" Monitor and the "sagagfx.hidd" Driver are already present by default on AROS 68k.

In the archive, in addition to the Hardfile, there is also the WinUAE config file and the ROMs (do not use other ROMs), which should not be modified to avoid incompatibilities, for example the Windows sound card is set to play Midi files at their best.

If you want to test on the fly without modifying anything, just unpack and run it from the Workbench, if you change path you have to modify the 2 ROM paths and Hardfile path.

This is the download link, if there are no major issues I will officially release AROS One 68k

AROS goal was, and should still be, to reach 100% OS 3.1 compatibility (depending on the platform, of course).

For improving AROS it would be good to have a list of applications which aren't working or are having problems, to fix bugs in the OS and/or implement some missing APIs (if any still missing).

MUI isn't part of the Amiga o.s., but it'll be go here as well to have a list of applications which are having problem with AROS.

It looks nice. Any list of features / tools / applications integrated?

Have you considered to split the HDF into different HDF images for:
- the OS;
- additional tools which "enrich" the OS (e.g.: new shell, new icons, etc.);
- third-party apps;
- games;
- development tools (if any)
?

This "modularization" will help maintaining clearly separated those elements, and getting updates only to the relevant part.

@cdimauro

Achieving maximum global compatibility with sofftware 3.1 will be very difficult, partly because some software is not designed to work well in RTG, others may require native OS3 libraries and system files to work.

As mentioned many MUI applications work well with "ZUNE", others you have to use MUI libraries because they don't exist on ZUNE.
For this need I created a MUI folder where these applications find and use the MUI libraries missing on ZUNE.

Then there are applications where the old versions of the software work fine, while the new ones do not, see AmigaAMP.

Splitting the Hardfile is not a good idea, this is because with each release there is a lot of change both in the Core and in compatibility, the inexperienced user could make the system unstable.

In any case you should try it maybe you will realise what I wrote, I attach a link where you can download a preview of AROS One 68k 2.0
