Amikit on Real Amiga Support Thread

[magnetic]

Hey retrofan and fellow amigans i opened this thread to continue the discussion of the cool Amikit on real amiga project. Since the news item is off the main page i started a new thread here is the last quote:

Hi:
1) Fitzsteve already made that:

Of course I needed to add the 060 Libs, that's all :cool

Well done mate on a great conversion :great

2) It uses around 450 Mb. I've got 700 Mb in my bootable partition.

3) Edit: Sorry but it seems no. Wait till I fix this, but it seems there is a problem with extracting the zip file and keeping the atributes of the files. You only can make this if you first unpack the files on your pc (to your pcmcia for example). I will fix that with another file lha and an script:

EDIT:Thomas has helped me making an installation without emulation with a simple script, so you won't have to be using but the partition from where you are booting with OS39 and you only will have to click on an icon. I hope this will be soon ready to download and use it if I get this working.

I'm looking forward to trying this one day. I confess to never even trying Amikit on UAE yet, but looking at the screen shots I think I'm gonna like it.

[magnetic]

Yeah, I either run real amigas or use my peg2 for amiga stuff so dont use UAE on my pcs much. Nothing like the real thing. Especially with the MK2 and the new modes..

I'm dying to use Amikit for classics but they are still working out some glitches. I really would love an 060 fpu version though!

It's pretty easy: The installation instructions say clearly that you have to make the installation with emulation, with links to WinUAE and so. In the edit I even woudn't have to post "fix this", as it isn't announced to work other way, never was; but as I told you I'm working to making things easy, and I already have a "kit" to make the installation without emulation and it will be released very very soon.

Anyway you could have asked me to open here a Support Thread .

Ok awesome, just trying to help. Dont forget FPU version

[Retrofan]

Yes, but versions for 040 FPU, 060 FPU, Apollos (with RemApollo)? I can't make a program for each accelerator. It is not only the libraries but the programs (Utilities, Internet) too

This works in all of them. But I would like to make someday a FPU version for my 060 too.

I hope magnetic that you haven't missed the new installer, updated to 02. Now you can make the install on your miggy and you don't need WinUAE anymore...
 
Just read the new installation instructions. Basically you just make click on an script and it installs it...

Hey Retro
RE exploring this thread as the new .3 version is out which I installed no problem. But having some issues because of my initial install. Its mainly to do with the Color/Palette mapping something is screwed up. can you tell me what programs I need to reinstall to get the palettes working correctly?

For anyone with an a1200 030 YOU REALLY NEED TO TRY THIS its awesome and breathes new life in your amiga. Retro has done an awesome job with the Amikit adaption for real amiga and the installer that is simple to use and nice online updating!

[Retrofan]

Thank you magnetic. Well, it's hard to know what you've got wrong, so perhaps the easy way is if you reinstall again the pack over it.

Edit: I've posted the release of the 0.3 version in News.

Do I need an RTG to use amikit on a real amiga ?

[WarPiper]

Amikit, I'm looking to purchase an A1200 with either an 030 or 040 processor and a internal scan doubler with a 32Gb sd card for a hard drive and PCMCIA wireless network card and if possible USB.  Do you by any chance sell the NTSC version from commodore in very good condition with a US KEYBOARD?  I live in the U.S.

All of this does not have to be done all at once, but would really like to have the commodore  version of the A1200, if not then the amiga technologies model.  

Any old new stock?

No, it runs with just a 030 without FPU. The thing is that some people want to run it just with that and anothers want to use a B1260. If you want to use a taskbar here you can use for example Workbench 2000 with the first and AmiStart with the second. Of course both run with both cards, just tooo slow AmiStart with just a 030, so you have WB2000.

If you want to use a 060 you will have to download the drivers from phase5 as they are copyrighted.

You are confusing AmiKit and Amigakit.

That's great but where can I download your amikit from?

[WarPiper]

Yea, I suppose I am, sorry

Libs for 680x0/020/030/040/060:

They are better than P5's 040/060 libs too.
