Amikit-latest.sh - Mac OSX PPC / X86 & Linux x86 = Binary & any other *nix = Source

[mike-]

It certainly should, i´ve not tested it myself on i386, but its been reported working.

You just "sh amikit-nix.sh" in a terminal, and hit 1.

Here it is , running under something like 50% load load, still trying to find better configs. gl-rendering definitely speeds things up, just as the manual says, i could use some help tweaking though.


Tweaking the frameskip and turning on Immediate blitters helps a little.

Ops, forgot to bump this.

Made some changes. Im not going to bother changing the version anymore, not as long as its in script form.

After a bit of pondering ( its not too fast on ppc ). I came to the conclusion that stipping down amikit would be the only way to achieve any responsoble respnse..

Firsly, using wb instead of dopus speed things up.
I dont know but also choosing one of the older themes speed the system?
I disabled pretty much all the visual goodies in the Startup-sequence. Visualprefs, birdie etc. All i kept was afa.

In wbstartup i thres out amistart, limpidclock, benchtrash and everything else i didnt see as absolutely necessary.  

Disabling Visualprefs ( i believe ) makes the window boarders smaller, to accommodate this the theme needs to be modified, ( IE. AmiKit/Prefs/Presets/AmiKit/MorpheusZ/BlackChrome/Birdie )

I also know from previous run´ins with amikit ( on classic no less ) that those two images do not strictly need to be bigger then 1 pixel wide.

Im unsure at this point, but could, if someone wanted, slim down amikit and include this as an option and or some form of archive which is just extracted or both?

Also ShowAmiga96 i disabled both in the startup-sequence and wbstartup.

Im having trouble installing the boing bags though?

Hm, i just realized this piece of shit script was broken for some reason, probably when i cleaned up. Im gonna test again and see. It failed at Hi-toro for some reason. Bah, it worked before! Anyone else remember having problems?

Ok fixed it, well enough anyway, it asks twice if you want to compress and backup for later use but but i´ll fix that once i get around to rewriting it a bit. No time soon probably.

Jesus christ, i forgot to call the unz function after getting the zip. oops

Ok, im having strange issues still for some reason.
AmigaOS3.9: in the first Startup-sequence has to be changed to CD0:
For some reason it didnt... On osx suddenly

[mike-]

Got it.

Amikit-nix v0.10
*Fixed oddities.
*Added option to get Boing Bag 1 and 2. Remember to set up AmiKit first*
(I had to do this due to unknown issues with e-uae and the bb-1&2 installer on OSX atleast...)
*Uninstall works better.
*Ready to be picked apart and used in a final OSX package.

Usage: sh amikit-latest.sh
Follow the cursor...

lha binaries for osx ppc & i386 & linux x86 are now on aminet, so the scripts retrieves those from there unless lha is installed in /usr/bin/ or /bin/.  

Amikit needs to be fully installed before you can go trough the BB1-2 install using this method, you can choose configure again at a later time without going trough the full install of course, and set this up. By that i mean, have your AmigaOS3.9 3.5 XL or whatever in the cdrom and launching the emulator going torugh the amikit installation from within uae.

And i think thats a wrap.
