Short information about Aros and V4
« on: March 13, 2020, 01:18:23 AM »
Currently Aros is tested and optimized on V4 Standalone. Base is my new distribution that is currently in development. It is creating look and feel of 3.1

short impression:

Network, RTG and SD-Card support work

It is based on magellan and views/plays many formats like mp3, wave, mods and many graphic formats.

It is currently in testing. Reports are here:

I am pretty sure people will like it

it will be available for V4 and UAE. V2 support will hopefully follow (IDE boot problem still there)

one first youtube video running aros vision special V4 edition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQOXbwmbHOQ&feature=youtu.be

it is in italian but you can see how it behaves

This is the official version for V4, I plan to offer versions for HDF and UAE of a plain 3.1 distribution.

Any chance of ClassAct or Reaction added to Aros?

reaction is copyrighted and belongs to Hyperion so no chance. Perhaps it is possible to add it by copying the reaction files but I never tried it.

it is based on magellan that creates everything independently

the distribution includes all sort of toolkits, of course gadtools and intuition, Zune (MUI reimplementation), MUI 3.8 and others

the specific aros preferences are f.e. Zune

Many MUI-Applications work with Zune but not all. It is possible to change to MUI 3.8 and use it (as long you not need aros preferences). Then f.e. iBrowse works on it.

It also includes packer support, many viewers and players (doubleclick on file), preinstalled whdload and others

would a HDF help?

I could try to create a HDF that boots with 3.1 Roms but it needs some Fastram to work. I can myself only test it on UAE

on V2 it does not boot yet..

there is a timing problem regarding IDE. I have talked to Gunnar, perhaps there is a workaround by booting slowly that could be activated in a special rom (turtle mode). We will see

hello Kolla

we just try to identify the problem why aros not runs on V2

you said same trick as on mist

how exactly do you make aros running on V2? Perhaps it helps to identify the problematic part

is it running as responsive as on V2? And thanks for the hint with lha... I will look at it

BTW the archive is blown up by docs (for legal reasons, extras/docs can be deleted). The HDF also is only partly needed and empty. Really needed are 175 MB.

you can delete docs in extras directory (only for UAE download)

it is only included for legal reasons but not needed

then it is only 175 MB

no that should work. Change screen resolution, save it and reboot

name one example for such a file...

extras can be removed (except desktops of course) if you want
