AfaOS installation. Help needed! - "slow" system
« on: August 22, 2008, 09:31:57 PM »
I just downloaded AfaOS (last) and installed it.

I have new/clean installation of OS3.9 with BB1.

I putted c:morelibspace (very beginning of SS) and c:afa_OS_Loader (just after the adddatatypes).

Afa is not working, no selection of the skins. Nothing. I can run preference but looks like nothing is working.

What exactly is needed to run to patch? Some newer libraries etc.

Someone who installed I really need to know exactly what to do. Manual explains everything...but is way to general to get that...

You know how frustrating is this patch? I would like to do CLEAN OS3.9 installation. Only this what is NEEDED to make it work properly, some patches not all the mess... I will let you know, probably tomorrow. THX.

uff... I installed :).

The problem was LACK of Picasso96  :-D , and than problem with SetPatch. I needed to put the c:morelibspace at the very beginning of StartupSequence

In general, clean installation of OS3.9 + BB1 and BB2 and AFAOS4.2. Works GREAT. Somehow "slow" on 040 + Voodoo but acceptable ;)

Soon my first pictures  :roll:

Thanks everyone for help!

Opening windows, scrolling etc, is really slow. MagicManu is almost unusable... :(

I tried some PNG icons, but this is just a loooooooooong delay, even when I have like 20 icons in windows. The Glowicons are VERY fast in comparison... I use only 4xEIDE so maybe this is reason (

Is it normal for 040 and Voodoo :D?

I can live with that, but...

Now I have trouble with Zune, I mean I installed it and it's working :), but I don't know how to "load" predefined preferences, since setting everything by hand   :crazy: .

I see the catalog with these predefined settings but I can get any access to them from ZUNE itself (can you imagine it's working ;) ).

BTW. Where I can find nice Amiga PNG icons, not the one from Linux?

Ok, time for some update.

This slowdown... this is not a "slow" Amiga problem.

After couple of days of starting computers (and not installing anything) I see something like that:

- mouse pointer is stopping, and moving only when the floopy "makes a click" it's not a joke. I assume that something is taking like 100% of processor time???

- system can hung up during loading a workbench start- up (random programs, not any particular).

- sometimes loading of background picture take like 40s instead of... 3s.

- once for a while the mouse cursor is "jumping" on the screen for about 2 min, and than normal "operation" of computer is possible.

When I use a "black" installation of OS3.1 or OS3.9 none of this stuff happened.  :roll:

 :crazy:

When I turn on computer it stopping booting (once for a while), a will start after reset.

 :pissed:

I think I will go back to Birdie, VisualPrefs :(. I was thinking that this is "slow" Amiga but now I see there is "software" problem. HELP!!!

Dunno if it's because of 040, the 32MB of RAM


Actually today it's 48Mb, when system finish booting I have like 30Mb free, so AFAOS is not taking "much".

 or maybe a not enough PSU


350ATX should be enough :)

 (the thing with the drive clicking and mouse freezing on the click shows that maybe something wrong with the power supply).

Actually it's exactly opposite (again it's not a joke!). I can move the mouse only when I hear "the click" think. I know sound stupid...

Other reason could be the not efficient cooling.


Really this is not an issue. Amiga is working fine, like I wrote, when Amiga has installed o plain WB is not problem.

I think there have to be some "patch" is system itself which is causing this "hung up's", slowing down the system.

About stability "test" I can play mp3 in max possible setting for 10 hours and no trouble. (BTW. Paula has great "voice" :D)
