| Recently acquired a Sam 460ex to use as my main Amiga going forwards. Wondering what I should install first to get to latest good baseline OS4.1 install? This being my first OS4 machine.
It has 4.1FE Update 1 on it. I guess I should install:
- EUAE - RuninUAE - AmiSSL latest version - a web browser? which one? - the official SDK - a newer GCC? is there one? - AmiCygnix
Anything else? _________________

- EUAE
I use version 0.8.28, its solid it never crashes on me, and it’s not broken, Fullscreen, window mode works, P96 emulation etc.
Version EUAE 1.0 you find on SourceForge, its newer support JIT, and is stuck in full-screen.
- a web browser? which one?
Download NetSurf because it never crashes. Download Odyssey because it’s the most advanced.
I never use AWEB or IBrowse, they too out of date.
- a newer GCC? is there one?
Stick to the standard SDK, if you just like to code on AmigaOS, there might be few updates here and there, you get most that from OS4Depot when you need it, just copy the files into folders, in SDK: assign.
Anything else?
QT apps some of this apps are nice. Blender TVPaint3.6 from aminet PPaint FxPaint Photogenetics AdPro (useful to convert images) Eastern (useful to display images in workbench) Filemaster DirectoryOpus TurboCalc DosBox FPSE (The Playstation emulator) Mame ScummVM AmigaAMP TuneNet AmosKittens Sketchblock Mplayer Emotion RDesktop FreePascal

| If you enjoy playing games, I'd recommend you try the following:
Giana’s Return – The Great Giana Sisters Remake (Retroguru)
Tower 57
M.A.C.E. (great shoot'em up)
1941 Extreme Deluxe (Studio-Grey/Badblocks / HunoPPC)
You'll find many free games on OS4Depot here:
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=browse&cat=game
NutsAboutAmiga has many great suggestions, like DOSBox and ScummVM, which let's you play tons of classic games.
If you are into development, Hollywood and Hollywood Designer are great tools.
Hope this helps. _________________ Old School Game Blog Gaming on AmigaOS 4 Void - Amiga Demo Group |

For 68K development on AmigaOS4, things are bit limited.
* VBCC
VBCC is good choice, its coms with VASMM68k & VLINK that works fine on AmigaOS4, AsmONE/AsmTwo and AsmPro all crash so just forget about this tool. Phxass does work, its older than VASMM68K, but might have some advantages regarding error output. disadvantage it does not handle a lot of the pre calculation and special stuff vasmm68k does.
BlitzBasic2 is buggy, don't waste your time with it, AmiBlitz3 might work, I have not tested it.
Get NDK31 from some where on the interweb, and NDK39.
Just because got a compiler up and running don’t expect anything you find on internet to compile and run, you need to modify the code a lot to make stuff work on AmigaOS4.1. Last edited by NutsAboutAmiga on 15-Nov-2020 at 01:51 PM.

I used NetSurf for years because it's fast and stable, but it has been throwing a lot of web errors of late, so I switched to Odyssey, which has better support for web standards.

The SDK is a bit long in the tooth but it will give you a decent environment for development. You'll also want to install CodeBench as your IDE. Do this after you install the SDK; CodeBench will automatically pick up your GCC compiler from the SDK. The GCC is an old version but it's OK for most projects, unless you want to port modern stuff that requires a newer version. And of course you can upgrade to a newer GCC at a later point (I use version 8.2.0).
I also recommend you ask your questions at Amigans.net, which is OS4-centric and has very helpful people.

I hope you have fun with your new OS4 machine. There are lots of software choices available.
Web browser ... Odyssey
---
Reminds me of when I purchased my OS4 system in 2004 ... I installed AWeb, Final Writer 97, Amiga Vision, AmigaAMP, PPaint, TVPaint and EUAE.
AWeb is very old now. Odyssey is a good replacement.
Amiga Vision works best on EUAE. The others work fine directly on OS4.

After installing the odyssey web browser i would start with installing a proper file browser. My first hand choice is dopus magellan. You can get it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dopus5allamigas
After that it's all about what you enjoy doing with computers?

I use euae 1.0 and can switch between fullscreen and window mode with Ctrl-Option "S" . P96 emulation also works with the sdlgfx build :) |
