New Blog about AmigaOne X1000!

[Epsilon_]

Hi All,
 
I have decided this month to start a blog focused on the AmigaOne X1000 system.
 
It includes tips and tricks I have learnt to get stuff working on the X1000, applications or utilities of interest on AmigaOS 4.1.5, and general X1000 information of possible help or interest to current or future AmigaOne X1000 users.
 
The website is http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/
 
Already there are a couple of Game reviews, AmiCygnix 1.1 setup how-to, HP Printer setup how-to, Inside X1000 pictures and HD upgrade setup info, mui-owb, mui-mplayer how-to, how to change default image viewers and more too!
 
I am adding new content as I try more stuff out, and I have a backlog of stuff already done to add in, so expect to see a lot more content added reasonably regularly to what is already there.
 
I hope over time it will ultimately be useful, helpful or interesting to somebody out there. If nothing else it allows me to collect tips and tricks I learn in one place for easy reference later on.
 
:-)
 
Catcha,

@All
 
Thanks for your kind words about my blog so far.
 
I have since updated my blog with several new articles covering:
 
* Running Delitracker on the X1000
* Classic Amiga Emulation on the X1000 (including Emulated Amiga System HD setups)
* How to get YouTube Videos working under MUI-OWB on the X1000.
 
If you are interested please take a look at these articles and more on my blog on http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/
 
I hope some of this information is useful for you too!
 
:-)

I hope it is helpful to some of you!

Hi All,
 
Today I have added a game mini-review of Hurrican 1.0.6 using Wazp3D on the X1000.

It also includes some installation help for Wazp3D as part of the review for those who don't have it installed as yet - Wazp3D is needed to run Hurrican on the X1000 at the moment, until we have the 3D graphics drivers.

You can take a look at the lastest blog entry at: http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/game-mini-review-hurrican-106-with.html


I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for your kind words about my blog! The X1000 is a lot of fun!
 
@all
 
I have updated my blog today with two entries:
 
The first entry is about running AmiCygnix applications in Standalone mode (windowed) under AmigaOS4 on the X1000 (and how to create your own standalone scripts for applications without a standalone launcher.
 
http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/running-amicygnix-standalone.html
 
The second is about PixelOz's fine Amiga HD wallpapers that have now been added to my X1000! It looked so good I had to share it!

I hope you find them interesting!

Hi All,
 
Today I have added a new blog entry on running Timberwolf RC1 on the X1000, positives and negatives, html5 compatibility testing and including various add-ons that work with it well. Hope you enjoy it!

Update  22/7/2012 - I have now added a second entry related to the timberwolf  RC1 coverage on my blog, covering additional add-ons and personas that  work on Timberwolf. Had a lot of fun getting this setup nicely!

I have been busy with my X1000 of late and have written several new blog entries. I have taken note of the feedback here (thank you) and waited until I had written a few articles of potential interest before updating the thread.

The  latest one covers the installation of a Radeon 9250 PCI card and PCI-e  to PCI bridge on the X1000 to finally play 3D hardware accelerated games  on my X1000 and also have a dual display system. Very happy with this  result! More testing to some of course!

Another entry relates to base configuration and what to expect running C64 emulation using VICE on the X1000:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/commodore-64-emulation-on-x1000.html

I also did a followup post on Timberwolf RC1 discussing some more add-ons and getting Japanese support working:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/continuing-with-timberwolf-rc1-on-x1000.html

I hope these are interesting to read.

I do respect the fact that some people are not interested in this  blog, have no questions or constructive feedback and that is fine - please ignore this thread.

There is a lot of activity in the AmigaOne X1000 world right now, and it is an exciting time to be an Amigan with an X1000.

I am keen to share my experiences with those who are interested to read about them and learn about some things they may want to try themselves or maybe a problem I fixed solves an issue they were having too!

I know some people here are interested in my X1000 ramblings, and I am very grateful for that.
