Amiga OS 4.1 Compatability List

[number6]

Some Amiga 68K programs require the Classic Amiga chipset or some stuff from AmigaOS 3.1.

I think Brilliance 2.0 might be one of these programs.  It crashes immediately if I try to launch it directly on OS4, but it is quite happy with AmigaOS 3.1 running on the OS4 PPC version of E-UAE.  I use an older version of E-UAE than the one distributed with the latest version of OS4.  Just haven't got around to upgrading to the newer version of E-UAE.

Just to clarify...  I tried Brilliance 2.0 only.  Brilliance 1.0 uses a dongle.

Final Writer 97, Cloanto Personal Paint and TVPaint run fine directly on OS4 and do not require E-UAE.

On OS4.0 I got Brilliance/True Brilliance V2 working by using ModePro using multiple screen definitions. Unfortunately, like DPaint, it is not fully functional despite a patch that was developed.
The interesting part though is that I have different screens (Brilliance picture/Brilliance Menu) on the same monitor at the same time, without need to use mouse to bring up the menu.

Thanks number6.

I just remembered that I get a small window that says "Unable to open display" when I try to launch Brilliance or True Brilliance from OS4.   If I recall correctly they default to 320 x 200 screen when I use E-UAE.  I don't have this choice available in my normal OS4 screenmodes.

I'm running it without E-UAE of course.
I could give you a step-by-step using ModePro, but even with the blitter emulator, it is just more of a curiosity to see it running, due the issues.

Oh, and it's possible you're hung up actually on the Brilliance warning screen. If you recall running under OS3.x, you get a requestor regarding whether SetPatchMrgCop is installed or not. If you can't get passed that you have no shot of starting the program on NG.
