Hi all

I have been trying to get amithlon working. I have got to the point now where it boots OS3.9 main issue is if I change the screen from what looks like 640 to 1024 x 768 and save it changes fine but defaults back to 640 on reboot any ideas ?

It is saving some settings as I can snap shot windows and it will remember them on reboot just not screen modes.

Amithlon is the fastest Amiga 68k emulator around. It doesn't support original chipsets but with RTG apps, it's really fast.

@g01df1sh

Unfortunately that's the way it is with any of the "NG" options and custom chip set hitting stuff. There's a reasonable amount of games that can be played on rtg either "out of the box" or via updates, patches, and so on, but yes, if you want complete compatibility with games, demos, and custom chip set stuff, you'll need to use the 68k version of uae.
There's systems like euae-load out there to make it possible to make thing as simple as clicking a piece of software/game icon and having it launch automatically through euae, although they're a bit unwieldy at 1st until you get your head around them.

I'm still a big fan of Amithlon, but its real strength is with system friendly software.

If I select the small option on reboot I get corrupt gfx and no workbench. If I select the ram option it boots to workbench fine. but I cant save screen modes not sure if selecting the ram option is why its not saving screen mode settings.

Sorted screen issue. These instruction helped the issue was after installing OS.39 I did not go back into hdtools and tick the box to make drive bootable. I now have a booting system more play time ahead.

Thanks a lot for the links. I will give it a try.

Is there a newer kernel really? From where can I get it? Thanks a lot.

@alpyre

Good news got sound working.

Stages required

1 Use Jopes installer follow onscreen instruction select the small option at the end.
2 reboot using Amiga XL CD
3 Format virtual HD drive using HD Tools (don't make bootable yet)
4 Install OS 3.9 located on AMiga XL CD
5 open HD tools and tick drive make bootable
6 Remove CD
7 reboot should now boot to a OS 3.9 workbench of the HD
8 Open prefs and set screen mode to 1024 x 768 test first
9 Using a live CD like hirens boot CD change the kernel to kern310
10 Edit amithlon and small file to say kern310 at the beginning
11 reboot
11a Install drivers 090.lha
12 run amithlon update pic update audio

13 install mui 3.8 ahi 6 requires it.
14 install ahi 6
15 open AHI Prefs select amithlon audio option.
16 test sound with mp3 file located on Amiga XL CD in contrib folder
17 big happy smile when you hear sound.

Hope this helps I may of missed something but you should get an idea

Now onto Network......

@g01df1sh

it is really a pitty that it finally failed because of legal reasons (roms). I somewhere read that the developer was so angry that he deleted all sources but after posting that somewhere on a forum I read on famous moobunny that this is not true. It would be great to have a new version, expecially because there even would be free roms (aros roms) but that will propably stay a wish

This guide got my TNT2 working simple when you know how. Just needed to select Board in Picasso96 menu at the top and then edit the screen modes using umc. Now I need some thing to test if I really do have accelerated GFX any idea what to use to test it.

That was rather bizarre. As if to imply ScreenMode hit the metal.

Amithlon is similar in this respect to OS4. In fact, when you go back in history, both OS4 and Amithlon were competing, to come out first. Amithlon won.

How do you mean? ROMs?

I know H&P legally trapped Bernie and claimed code he wrote as their own.

AFAIR the Amithlon core code lives on in UAE-JIT.

But, what I don't understand, is why someone hasn't taken the idea and recreated it. At its basic, it's just a stripped down UAE emulator with most of the chipset removed for speed and JIT added for icing on the cake. I'm told that H&P would sue for even using the same idea. But we have JIT for years and boot discs into UAE on Linux. Which share similar ideas and I haven't seen a problem yet.

I think it's time someone compiled another UAE into another installable Linux CD. Customised to remove some chipset emulation. Even it doesn't support native x86 binaries it would still be useful.
