Thanks.
-
Free tip - take pictures of it running on a Motorola phone, for added fidelity :)
And delete the Samsung ones.

Attempting to install it not to my Note 5 with MM. Hope it works. I was never able to get it working well in the past.
Edit:
WOW! Working great!! Can I remove the files I moved over from my 3.9 CD now so I dont have them keep popping up on my WB desktop? This is fantastic though!
-
Well, looks like my next phone will be an Android...
-
Awesome feature with the note 5 is using the stylus and being able to hove over screen without having to touch the screen and move mouse pointer! Tap to click an icon or gadgets.

Mine can't find the install files.
I've copied the OS3.9 CD to several locations under files with no luck. I started with the existing AmigaOS3.9 folder and then tried others.
I even made an AmigaOS3.9 folder in the matching files folder on the SD card and it couldn't find it.
Help?

Help?
Make sure you copied the content of the WHOLE CD (including Disk.info file) to the AmigaOS3.9 folder according to the install manual.
Can I remove the files I moved over from my 3.9 CD now so I dont have them keep popping up on my WB desktop?
Yes, of course. Once the OS files are imported to AmiKit, it becomes complete.
-
Yes, it was the disk.info file. Thanks.
You might want to explicitly say that in the docs since that file doesn't show up in an Amiga in most circumstances and isn't normally a required file for anything.
-

You might want to explicitly say that in the docs since that file doesn't show up in an Amiga in most circumstances and isn't normally a required file for anything.
The docs do tell you to copy the entire contents of the CD to the folder. Tip mentions you can even zip it and that audio and video folders are not required.
-
Correct, but when you do it from workbench, disk.info will not be accessible.
I dragged the contents of the drive directly to an SD card, which will not include the disk icon.
I think it's fair to say that the disk icon isn't something anyone normally needs, so it's an easy mistake to make.

Thanks. I've updated the docs.
-
Thanks.
The price is great for what you get. I actually paid extra.
Now I just need to find time to play with it more.

Wow, yours seems much slower than it is on my Note 5. What are you running this on? I will have to make a screen capture of it now and post it.
-
Normally it runs like a real 040 but I was recording real time at 1920x1080 60fps.
Samsung Galaxy S4.
-
I'll test it out on my Pine64 when it arrives and see how it runs.
-
Another get AmiKit release.

This is precisely why I keep telling people I won't buy a different phone unless it has a Stylus. I have a Note 4 (Note 5 is missing the SDcard slot and not enough of an upgrade for me anyhow) as well as a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, and Amikit is awesome on that, especially with my bluetooth keyboard connected to it. Basically an Amiga laptop :D

What is a good 10" (or more) tablet (not phone), that does not cost more than $200, uses, a stylus, and could handle this, and handle it well at that?
