A wonderful program that gets nowhere near the amount of attention and respect that it deserves - thank you for the update!

Totally agree. I received my little present in the post today! :-)

Why does the OSX version use the old unmaintained E-UAE rather than the far superior FS-UAE?

AmiKit is just a collection of software. Nothing stopping anyone from using FS-UAE with the OSX version. :)

I have never tried this on a real Amiga but I can imagine it crawls on my ACA1231/43MHz ^^
Nice initiative so Thank you very much :)

here's the support thread for the Real Amikit thanks to Retrofan http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=67578. I think some people say it runs fine on their ACA 1231 1200's.

Looking to make an Amiga Netbook. eMachines 250 with XP SP3.
@klesterjr : I respect the fact that it's all put together in a package and has some level of support, being time poor. We can all grow our own wheat and make our own bread, but we don't.
Still excited.
-
Oooooh yes please!!!!!
This is such an amazing product and happier with every update.
Just need to update the USB Amikit drive o mine and I'll be good to go!
Thanks again!

Thank you all for your kind words and support. It's amazing!! Such feedback is a big boost for the project! Thank you and I hope you enjoy your AmiKit!

I do and it works. And I offer my "bread" to you for free. Welcome to Amiga utopia :D

Just tried to install this on my BlackBerry Z10. I can get the BlackBerry 10 OS to read the .apk but it won't install for some reason. Will look into it further. Think I may have to use the BlackBerry dev environment to jiggle with it.
Gonna dump it on my Nvidia Tegra Note though. :)
-
@CrtiAnime
James, is your BlackBerry Z10 running Android? Anyway, start a thread in http://forum.amiga.sk I am sure our Android guy will help you. Thanks!

Anyone else having a problem with iBrowse failing when trying to add a fastlink after the upgrade? :(

Wow. Someone actually bought a Blackberry10 :rolleyes:
Meanwhile i'm going to try this out tomorrow. It's lookin' good :)

I started to install AmiKit on my X1000 but halted when it said it would install onto the SYS: partition. Anyone know if this can be changed? I want to install to DH1:

Are you installing the "Real" version? It was never tested on X1000.
-
Are you installing the "Real" version? I think it should work but it was never tested on X1000. Better backup your system first.
It's the free version, RealAK1.0.
What I was getting at was (1) if I continued with the installation, would I get the option to change the installation path? the text at the start of the installation process suggests not (2) if I installed to SYS: and then moved the drawer to DH1: are there any paths I would need to change?
Thanks!

Please note the "Real AmiKit" conversion is unofficial and not created by me. A special support thread can be found at http://real.amiga.sk/

An X1000 is an OS4 machine. There is currently no official version of AmiKit for OS4. As Jan mentioned earlier, "stay tuned".

No but BlackBerry 10 has the jelly bean runtime in it. It's not 100%, especially if it requires Google play technology. But it runs a lot of stuff. I will call by the forum when I get a chance.

Yup and proud of it ;)

Ok, that's fine.
Can anyone provide me with a link to the installation guide? The only links I have found so far on Google no longer work. The link in the ReadMe doesn't work for me, either :confused:
It does say "To install AmiKit on a real Amiga computer please follow this AmiKit on a Real Amiga guide" at this page: http://www.amikit.amiga.sk/forum/index.php?action=vtopic&forum=3&page=2#!info/c11fd but there doesn't appear to be a link to the guide (unless I just can't see it!).

AmiKit for real Amiga is for 68k based Amiga, not for PPC/OS4 machine. Sorry if this was not mentioned clearly enough before. Also the guide and the link are obsolete. The guide was created long time before the RealAmiKit installation archive was born.

Oh, OK, that's fine - I just thought it might be fun trying it on my X1000. Seems a great piece of software!

How do i install this on my amiga 1200? I have a mediator lt4 with a radeon 9250, Realtek LAN card and an 030 accelerator?

No worries, I'll include a picture to show what happens.

Its a good thing you stoped, if you head continued you might have trashed the AmigaOS4.x installation badly.
It's the free version, RealAK1.0.

You setup a EUAE enviroment for it.
There is a JIT version that is fast, but its not yet 100% satable, you might run it in the non JIT version but its going to run slow.
I think you should wait for EUAE JIT to get stable, AmiKIT does not really offer anything for AmigaOS4.1 users, AmiKIT is a unofficial upgrade for AmigaOS 3.5/3.9.

Due to this, I dug up my old Thinkpad T41 laptop, specced:
CPU: 1.4GHz
Ram:256MB
HDD: 30GB
Screen 14.1"
GPU: Radeon 7500 32MB
So I went trough my storage and found a 2GHz Pentium M 760 and put in it, added 2GB of ram and took a 32GB MLC PATA SSD and a converter for the opticbay so I put a 160GB PATA drive in the CD/DVD slot.
So upgraded a bit with what I had I am now looking for a fitting 9000 or 128MB FIREGL on ebay and planning on upgrading that also.
Then I used nlite to strip down a Windows XP install as much as possible, got it down to just taking 480MB installed and only using about 55MB ram and after that I removed the Windows XP boot screen.
System boots in a few seconds after post when installed on the PATA SSD and shrinked so quite nice.
Then I tried AmiKITT and hey its nice, gave it all ram possible and had some fun with it.
Now im planning on doing a silent start to AmiKIT ignoring windows shell and then i'm at land :)
So it's a nice bundle of software you put together, this laptop will be used at work beside my workstation, so thanks :)
Not the fastest machine around but seems to work quite ok for this task and it's good to get some use of it, better then throwing it away :)
I will take time and try this out on my A1200 also, but im quite happy with the snappiness and speed of my current 3.1 setup but it's always fun to try :)
