As a long-time owner of Aladdin4D, I've been trying to find a way to install and run Aladdin4D on Aminimiga on my A500Mini. I own a CD installation that I got from Discreet many years ago but no longer have an external CD-ROM to install. Even if I did, I'm not certain I could interface it correctly with Amiberry and my A500Mini. I found some installation ADFs online for version 3.0 which installed correctly. Unfortunately, the software refuses to run because it's looking for a copy protection dongle that the software required.

I really enjoy Aminimiga given all the amazing software that comes with it. I've been able to install a fair amount of software as well (all software I once owned) and would really love to be able to run Aladdin4D. Any thoughts about how to make this happen? I'm not certain if DiscreetFX is around anymore but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you have time - is there a way to fix the AK_Sensors_Display program so that it remembers where it was last positioned please?  At the moment, it always opens in the top left, over the top of my disk icons.

AK_Sensors_Display was originally intended as a demo of how to read and display the values that AK_Sensors writes to ENV: hence it's fairly simple.  I don't think there's a way for Intuition to remember the program window location in the way MUI 'snapshot' does, but it's probably possible for it to draw the window at a user defined X/Y location specified in icon tooltypes (which you can't do at the moment).  I'll have a look in the weekend if I have some spare time.

Have not tried it myself but NewMeter has the ability to display variables from ENV: (and much more) so you could try that as a replacement for AK_Sensors_Display.

Look at the ENVGAUGE tooltype options.  I don't know if it'll update the program window when the variables in ENV are dynamically updated or not, you'll need to try it and see.

Impatient with no update with an option to set the base address

I sent an update within 12 hours which included a new build of the driver and documentation to include exactly that feature, for free.  Were you expecting something sooner?

The code only contains the base address address in one place, so if hacking the binary works, then this new version that allows an optional user defined address should work as well.  Can you confirm that works as expected?

I'll give it a try with ethernet. Wifi connection is good, but you never know.

I see in another thread that there is a downloadable SD card image update coming - maybe that will be the best way to update everything at once.

@Terminills

I am not sure if you spotted some of my other posts on other forums.

The A1200 NG manual and Wiki have  been updated promptly with the suggestions that Deadwood made.

Any other feedback is welcome.

I have now ... Thank you.
