Aros Vision 2.5

[OlafS3]

I have uploaded Aros Vision 2.5

It includes a number of improvements including additional web-software, games and tools and improvements regarding the included development-software.

Some of the highlights:
Poseidon
ImageFX 1.5
AmiBlitz 3.6 (new snapshot)
Additional Amiga-E compilers
Trog AGA
additional SDL-Games
Ignition fully working
ViewCSV
MIDI-File support

small optimizations. As example there is a dir "Dos" in "Games" that is automatically mounted when DosBox is started (there you can put all DOS-games)

Cool :-)

I know it is possible to install this on real hardware. Two questions in that regard:

I am a little unsure how to do it. Is there a more detailed step by step than the one on the website?

Does it support Voodoo on a mediator or just AGA?

Thank you in advance!

i have repeatedly provided step by step instructions on multiple occasions, but honestly dont remember where atm.
the simplest is to download the whole archive on a third party computer with (win)uae. attach an amiga hd via ide-usb adapter. format the drive from under uae. decompress the whole archive onto the bootable partition and attach the drive to your amiga again.
there might be a necessity to delete certain file, must check back which one, before it fully boots.

now there is no support for pci bridge. at least not a usable one. but you can use zorro gfx cards given the p96 .card and .chip drivers. you need to add these drivers with a valid path to your bootstrap.

errm.. just realized olaf has probably deleted the offending file anyway, so just try to boot to aga and then add rtg drivers to bootstrap.
