AROS & Aspire One AOA150 what can I expect really?!
« on: June 10, 2011, 05:15:40 AM »
As some of you may have read, I'm having issues with AROS running on Virtual PC. No sound, and the AmiBridge configurator will not load. It will set things up automatically via with the Amiga Forever Cd, but after that I can not load up AmiBridge to configure the damn thing to the exact way I want it.

So I am wondering, if I buy one of these Aspire One laptops, what kind of experience can I expect? Will Amibridge still refuse to work? (It loaded on older versions of IcarOS) Will 3D graphics work with Intel or is that only a Nvidia thing? Can I actually pull the screen all the way to the bottom of the screen or only part way like it does in the emulator? Can I expect sound, can I expect wireless, can I expect AROS to not lock up, crash, and hang as if it were written by Microsoft, let alone leave screen garbage when I open up too many windowss More importantly can I run Janus and not have it crash and hang every two seconds as it does on my Emachine, OR....


...will it run as smooth as a baby's butt like it does in all those amazing Youtube videos that up till now, only seem like false advertising to me?

Please share actual experiences with AROS and this particular hardware.

I REALLY want to see this working as well as the die hard fans claim it does. Thankx!

If I could get Janus to run smoothly, with out system hangs, graphical garbage, and crashing (as experienced on my Emachine) I'd be satisfied, though I'd hope that 3D acceleration is on the way for the Intel Video Chips.

I have network disabled in the Emu.

So on your Aspire One, how stable would you say AROS runs, especially when gaming, browsing, or multi-tasking in general?

Really, WIFI works now?! Yippy!!!!

I want to be a believer so bad if you can't tell! :)

So you wrote the driver hugh? Well thank you for that kind sir!

So it sounds like I'm going to have to buy an Aspire One! Also, where can I find out how to patch IcarOS?
