Yes, much better, thank you!

P.S. BTW, even just the snow does use 100% CPU on this X1000. But as long as it doesn't crash ...

:).

Tweaked again, how is CPU usage now?

We have same issue, every year, so I end up disabling it, :(.

Is this any better?

I did try the new Odyssey 3 Alpha, BTW, and while it did not produce the same crash with MediaPlayer as before, it did crash and lock up after having shown a few pages.

But it looks like there's potential as 3.0 matures, so maybe we can try again next year :-).

Best regards,

Niels

I wish I could agree with your positive words, but it kills my system completely here (Odyssey 1.23 r5 on OS 4.1u3, X1000).

Shortly after entering the page with those coloured lights and snow, I get a DSI from "[OWB] MediaPlayer", everything slows down, and even if i "Ignore" the DSI it stays slow with 100% CPU usage. I can close Odyssey, but it doesn't stop the 100% CPU use, so all I can do is restart the machine.

Wasn't this a problem last year as well?

Hi Anaki Rob,

Congratulations on your new A600GS! 8)

Here is a video explaining how to use MIDI with OctaMED and the A600GS:

Hope this was of help.

Congratulations on the new case for the A1200NG! The Plexilaser case looks very nice! :)

PolarPaint 1.272 is on aminet now.
In order to get around the jit bug I had to rewrite the undo/redo system.
Now it should run also on the A600gs/A1200NG without the crashes.

I tested it on my A600gs and I notice it is a bit slower on Amibench than any of my AmigaOS3.x setups.
For usage on Amibench on the A600gs the PolarPaint_small edition will give a smoother experience.
I look forward to get the boost upgrade for for testing.

Please test, feedback is higly appreciated

Pic 5.  Here you can see that the sideways option block is -almost- perfect for the HDMI out (Hole do not line up well enough for two screws).  You can also see the odd choice for the #1 9-pin socket making it impossible to put in the screw-in posts.  It is also a little tricky getting the A1200NG MoBo into the back panel since the shrouds really need those posts to hold them on.

Pic 6. The rear on-board USB ports fit perfectly into the "Disk Drive" section.  I'm really happy this case has those optional ports along the bottom and that it came with blanks.

Pic 7.  I probably should have used the metal back plate that came with the A1200NG as there are some BIG openings here.  I have ideas to make the power supply internal since there is so much space (and I have the Insulation Layer) and use the bottom brackets for an "plug-in" power cable.  I also am contemplating an external Wi-Fi antenna for better signal, which is why the circular opening plate is installed under the audio ports.

Sorry for the super-sized picture.  These should be more manageable.

Things to note:

Pic 1.  There is a place for the tri-light from your A1200 to the right.  I didn't have one to install so I'm getting a custom set from Amiga Kit.

Pic 2.  The power cable from the Floppy kit option for the A1200NG is the perfect length.

Pic 3. I ordered the insulation layer not knowing how I was going to house the A1200NG and it fits well and gives me the peace of mind since the floppy is so close to the bottom of the MoBo.  For you original Amiga 1200 owners, you'll notice that it has the "hump" to fit those bigger PCMCIA cards you've always wanted to use.  ;)

Pic 4. Since this case is already geared for it, I need to get a double header USB socket to take full advantage of the second USB bank from the MoBo.

A600GS & A1200NG / A600GS and MIDI

I have recently purchased an A600GS, currently awaiting delivery. But I am wondering about using MIDI with this device, is anybody here doing this and how might I go about doing this myself? What additional hardware will I be needing?
