Having finally gotten a chance to play around a bit with OS4.1 Classic on WinUAE, on my system it's pretty poky, but then I've got a pretty old and creaky system (Phenom X4/940 @ 3ghz, 8gb DDR2 RAM).

Doing a new build in a couple of weeks (FX-6300, 16gb DDR3 @3200), we'll see how it behaves then.

why can't it be possible to select OS4.1 and AF2016 at the same time in this page?

Haha! Thanks Midway! Corrected :D

I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.

Yeah; I'd hope an i7 would beat the pants off of a pokey old Phenom!

I'm using Xeon 1265l v3 3.7 and it FANTASTIC. Can anybody tell me how to test speed of this emulated system? Is there any "synthetic" benchmark? I tried SysSpeed but it is showing "crazy number".

I need to try in on my old Core 2 Duo 2.6 ghz :).

PS. Now you can gent Amiga OS 4.1 Classic directly from Clonto website as ISO + ADF :)

It's not to shabby on my 2.5GHz Bay Trail either tbh.

A UAEGFX P96 driver and bsdsocket.library emulation is all it needs really.

that, and the ability to support more than 128MB of memory -- although i don't know if the issue is with the OS itself or a limitation of the cyberstorm ppc emulation in UAE itself.

D'oh - SFS usage is also possible, one has just to RTFM, i.e. the official AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition booklet, regarding installation of the 68k version found in the directory L: on CD...

I vaguely remember Toni saying it's possible to emulate more ram on a csppc but OS4 needs changing to support it.

Aha...of course the first thing I did was dive straight in without RTFM of course :)

Will have another try tonight.

Yes, it is pain to look at such a beautiful OS and have that small resolution :(.

It took long time, but I finally have my "PPC Amiga"...

I also like that Hyperion is selling AmigaOS4.1 iso, I already read people that it was "illegal" to install Amiga OS Classic under UAE...

Even following the manual isn't striaghtforward because when I select SFS as instructed there, I get an error suggesting to try to increase RDBBlocksLo by 4.  Leaving it or increasing it make no difference - I still get the error.

Can anyone help please?

My general issue is I can install AmigaOS4.1 but after rebooting the newly created install won't boot.  It looks like what I need to know is precisely how to configure the hard disk with the media toolbox step by step, something which none of the guides really do.

Here, do it as he wrote it. Works great, no errors and it boots fine. I did EXACTLY as he wrote.

@Gryfon

So you increased it (from 2 to 7, IIRC), then added SFS from L: on the CD, then additionally set SFS at the cycle button at the lower right corner and finally saved your settings by clicking "Save changes to disk"?
