Re: Icaros Desktop 1.3
« on: June 09, 2011, 06:58:51 PM »
So I was excited to see a new release, I booted it up in Virtual PC, and was amazed at how polished it looked! Instantly I put in my Amiga Forever disk and let it auto configure Ami-Bridge. After this I tried to start up Ami-Bridge in the Prefs so I could tweak the options, but....


it won't load.

Also, I am not getting any audio in Virtual PC.

So my question is:

What emulator works fast and support AROS's audio.

What emulator will not prevent Ami-Bridge/Janus Prefs from loading?

I don't see how I can change the virtual sound card type. Also, anyone got any clues as to why the GUI for Janus refuses to load? I can run the emu, but not the GUI.

So that means no audio at all no matter what emulator I use?

-1 for AROS. :/

So with an Aspire One I can expect a smooth experience as well as 3D acceleration in OpenGl, or will it all be software based?

 Also, when you say you opened Janus prefs, does that mean you opened Ami-Bridge under the prefs directory?

 I got it set up under emulation with the Amiga Forever CD, but after that when ever I try to open up Ami-Bridge for further configuration, nothing happens.

Lastly, I have tried various machines that "I thought" had the correct ship set, cards, and so on and so forth, but so far I have had issue after issue running the OS, especially when trying to use UAE. I get a lot of screen garbage, system hangs, slow downs, sound issues, etc.

I was thinking. The fact that there are no audio drivers available for use with emulators is a bad sign. I mean isn't this where all the developers do their development? In a virtual environment due to the lack of memory protection?

Or do they not need sound drivers to code that aspect correctly?



As for shopping for the right board... it is a shame that resellers of such boards do not list the exact model of the chips that in the boards half the time. That would save us a ton of hassel.

Are you reading any of the replies in this thread? trekiej has already mentioned twice that VirtualBox's AC97 emulation works with AROS. *If* your CPU has hardware virtualisation, VirtualBox is great for running AROS. I've heard VMWare is good for AROS as well, but I don't know if it has sound.



Maybe the SBLive drivers are the most reliable, I don't know. But the HDAudio and AC97 drivers are pretty good on the right hardware too. There's also an Envy24 driver, but I haven't used it.


I read that and was confused. My copy of Virtual Box does not allow one to custom config their virtual sound chip.

I finally got a laptop that runs it well. UAE is still crappy, but everything else works pretty damn good for the most part. It ain't BeOS/Haiku and it ain't MorphOS, but it really ain't all that bad with the right hardware after all.

Now... How to delete all those screen modes from Grub that I don't need.

You can delete them out of Grub.conf. Feel free to back up that file first. Commenting them out would be better.
I think it is a '#".


Where can I acess these grub files and then save the changes? I can edit during boot time but can not save my changes.
