Title: AmiKit tutorial videos!
Post by: AmiKit on April 30, 2006, 04:29:42 PM: I've just created some instructing videos demonstarting how easy is the archive handling in AmiKit (http://http:/amikit.amiga.sk) environment. In case you're interested you can find them here (http://amikit.amiga.sk/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=8&topic=99).
If you want more videos just let me know what AmiKit area it should cover :idea:

EDIT: I've just created a single thread containing all the video tutorials, you can find it here (http://amikit.amiga.sk/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=8&topic=102). :-D

After I found out there was no scandoublers about for sale. I was thinking it was about time I gave up on the old trusty amiga, then I thought it was time I tryed out amikit. and this is where I have developed love and hate feelings towards you,

Love= because you created amikit
Hate= because you created amikit and now all my time is taken up playing with it and i dont seem to get anything done!:lol:

So great job on creating amikit and great job on creating these video tuts for other ppl! :-D

Post by: nasty on April 30, 2006, 06:29:48 PM: :lol: yeah, you might also think about including your girlfriend/wife/partner will feel neglected and shout abusive profanaties and generally {bleep} at you while you use this product!:lol:

I'm sitting thinking about what other vid tuts you could make, but I cant think of any just now but as soon as I do I'll let ya know :-D

Post by: AmiKit on April 30, 2006, 06:41:47 PM: or I might include some banner asking "did you say hello to your girlfriend today?". It will pop up in AmiKit from time to time :-) or "Feed your cat! Yes, again..." :-)

Ok, let me know if you get an idea what to show in next videos. Cause I do not have insight what's difficult in AmiKit for newbies, you know.

Post by: mgerics on April 30, 2006, 10:29:54 PM: As if the Amiga isn't already addictive enough, you go and create AMIKIT!!! Thanks a lot! A truly awesome work. Thanks from a dedicated user. I agree with your philosophy, too.

A side note to any who may read this; I use Amikit at work since I haven't a spare Amiga with network capabilities-when I try to run certain apps that require tcp connectivity, I get 'please insert volume inet:'

As the emulation is using bsdsocket, I don't have Genesis (or
Amitcp) installed. Can installing Amitcp or Genesis resolve this?

Post by: _yak_ on April 30, 2006, 11:16:40 PM: Altrough installation of AmiKit is fairly simple, maybe a video demonstrating it step by step would be nice?

I do not understand, is it your real miggy having this "insert inet:" problem or AmiKit? AmiKit doesn't need amitcp nor genesi installed, like you said, the emulation uses the connectivity of PC.

Post by: amigagr on May 01, 2006, 12:14:18 PM: winuae use the DEFAULT.UAE or the AmiKit_v1.UAE at boot time? if i want to change the amiga setup winuae use which one i can change?

winuae use the DEFAULT.UAE or the AmiKit_v1.UAE at boot time?

It depends. If you start AmiKit or WinUAE GUI using the AmiKit.exe then AmiKit_v1.UAE config is loaded.
If you start plain WinUAE.exe, it should load DEFAULT.UAE config.
Anyway, both configurations are the same.

To modify the AmiKit config, mark the AmiKit_v1.UAE entry and hit LOAD. Then do the modifications and mark the entry again and press SAVE. Next time you start AmiKit (using AmiKit.exe) this config will be used automatically.
