Final of my Aros 68k distribution

[salax54]

Aros68k schould Even Run in Stock 68000with some RAM (4mb i think). It is compiled with basic CPU options afair. It is slower than the original aos for various reasons, most of which can be taken care of i suppose. The envisioned audience is the whole 68k user base. Sorry it isnt done just in an instant. I would wish for that myself.

I'm sorry if it sounded like i'm in a hurry or something; it's just that no one seems to talk much about hardware requirements, and i keep getting the impression that the low-spec machines were left out of the game. As i mentioned earlier, i do appreciate what's done. If the whole 68k user base is the target, then indeed it's the best news i can hear..

i keep getting the impression that the low-spec machines were left out of the game.

no, its not the case. the whole work on aros and especially on 68k is done with widest possible target audience in mind. stand by. alas there is not enough devs involved to progress as fast as we would like it to be.

short info... Scalos is not slow. Toni gave me the tip. You have to comment out "Assign Theme:..." and then it works (or "Themes"? But I think it was "Theme"). Before it was very slow in RTG and after normal speed.

[wawrzon]

comment out "theme" assign in the s-s? that must be done anyway. or what do you mean?

[OlafS3]

yes in startup-sequence. Before it was slow in RTG, after fast (normal speed). I have used latest nightly build yesterday.

[wawrzon]

strange, it was slow for me with the backgrounds and stuff even though i always comment it out as of late. have you textures turned on? im leaving them currently at default for the purpose of testing.

[OlafS3]

I do not know. It was the standard installation (a scenery in the background). I had not much time to test because I went to sleep (01.00 am). I test it in WinUAE.

let me quote my post from awnet here:

just in case, a dumb video, a little boring and lengthy, but might give you an impression of current functionality and speed of aros and scalos on a genuine amiga. and also how you can let it crash quite easily. well, masybe not the whole system, but scalos at least.

and here the earlier version with the same machine hooked up to a 1084s, not much to see though, so you might want to skip it:

now, suffer.
