Hi Guys,

I'm looking for gameplay footage of a full playthrough of the censored version of Rocket Ranger (the version found here https://www.whdownload.com/games.php?name=%25&sort=5&dir=1&search=rocket+ranger+%28censored%29&searchButton=Search) as I've noticed that the full gameplay doesn't seem to be documented anywhere I can find! I've discovered this playthrough by a German livestreamer on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KReV52Dec4 but it doesn't contain the entire game. If anyone has any more complete footage of gameplay, I'd love to see it!

Many thanks guys!

Hey everyone, I’ve been spending some time away from my usual A1200 lately to mess around with some other alternative operating systems. I’ve recently fallen down the rabbit hole of trying to get Haiku (and briefly MorphOS on an old Mac Mini) integrated into my daily workflow just for the fun of it. It’s refreshing to use something that isn't just another flavor of Windows or Linux, but it certainly comes with its own set of "character-building" challenges.
One specific point that has been driving me absolutely crazy is the driver support for modern networking hardware. It’s a bit of a reality check when you realize how much we take for granted in the mainstream world. I recently upgraded my home setup to a high-end mesh system capable of Wireless-3.9GBPS https://serverorbit.com/network-devices/wireless/wireless-3-9gbps, which is amazing for my main workstation and 4K streaming. But as soon as I boot into a niche OS on my experimental rig, I feel like I’m back in the late 90s, hunting through obscure forum threads for a compatible Atheros or Broadcom driver that won't kernel panic on startup.
It’s such a bizarre contrast to have this massive "pipeline" of Wireless-3.9GBPS airwaves surrounding me while I’m struggling just to get a stable ping or a basic DHCP lease because the OS doesn't recognize anything newer than a legacy G-standard card. I’ve reached the point where I’m considering just giving up on internal cards and using a dedicated Ethernet-to-Wi-Fi bridge just to bypass the driver hell.
For those of you running things like Haiku, MorphOS, or even AROS on relatively modern hardware, how are you handling the networking side? Are you still hunting for specific "golden" legacy cards at local swap meets, or have you found a way to make modern high-speed adapters play nice with these alternative kernels?
Do you think we’re reaching a point where modern hardware complexity is making it impossible for hobbyist OS projects to keep up, or am I just looking in the wrong places?

Hi there

First of all, kudos for AmiBrowser, that's really a neat trick with the backend rendering and all. Very well done!
I was surprised in seeing how well my TAWS project (https://taws.ch) runs on it. After some more intense testing, I noticed something, though: keyboard control with the simulated HippoPlayer doesn't seem to work properly and now I finally triggered it down to why that is:

It seems that JavaScript keyboard events are... well... behaving strange, to put it mildly. Here's a test page and you'll notice the wild things it reports with AmiBrowser when comparing to any other browsers:
https://mrupp.ch/Test/KeyTest.htm

Most keys report a correct "key", but some faulty "code". "Enter" key reports "code" as F2 or even F18 on the "onkeyup" event. If you try a non u.s. keyboard layout (like german) things get mixed up even more: some events still report a "z" to be a "y", but "onkeypress" reports a correct "keyChar" nevertheless.

This has been tested with AmiBrowser 46.37 (13.02.26).

Keep up the good work and I hope that my little test page helps in tracking this down and fixing it.

Cheers,
Michael

You’ve fixed the issue with booting from RDB partitions, too — thank you very much for that.
And thanks as well for the improvements to AREXX. It’s still not enough to run all AREXX scripts, but it’s a significant step forward.

If you have time, it would be great to improve IMP3 support. Playing a module currently disrupts AmiBench’s timers: double‑clicking stops working, and the system clock begins jumping forward in 5‑second steps.

This behaviour does not occur when I boot a full AmigaOS 3.2.3 installation and run IMP3 there.

Yes it did work. Both in Amibench and on the A600gs main menu (albeit the main menu is slightly off-screen rather than scaled to fit)
