Amikit on Real Amiga Support Thread

[nicholas]

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

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

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

NO amigaikit does NOT have NTSC units for sale. You will have to find a used one in the usa.  This thread is about Amikit not Amigkit btw

Thank you very much. I will see if I can add them.

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

So does this replace the 68040.library and 68060.libraries in Libs?

And cyberpatcher?

Yes, it uses the MMU so won't work with UAE JIT.  It should work with the new MMU emulation in WinUAE though.

And cyberpatcher?

This replaces Oxy/Cyberpatcher.

Well I managed to get amikit installed on my real amiga, but when I restarted my amiga it says "please insert amikit in any drive" ?

Is there any way of fixing this?

[magnetic]

You have to rename your partition name to "Amikit" you can also from a shell window type: ASSIGN Amikit: to yourpartition:

That's  great I will give that a try

I managed to get AmiKit working and im very impressed however the only problem that I am having is I cant see the left of my workbench? I have tried opening overscan but I just get a black screen, Tried changing the resolution to a higher one but get an error saying "Intuition is attempting to reset the workbench. please close all windows except drawers" ?

Make sure you have no other programs running when you use/save the Screenmode settings.  eg Shell, Ed etc...

Hey nicholas

What makes these libs better? I'm always looking for improving the 060 in my 1200.

They are part of the wider MMU tools package which provide lots of extra functionality.  They have less bugs and perform better too which is always a bonus.

ps Sorry for having a go at you the other day, I was pissed off and took it out on the wrong person.

Ok thanks. Can i Have those libs and that other mmu package installed while I have all the Phase5 stuff installed? Do i not need cyberpatcher now.

Yeah, no problem thanks for saying that.

Simplest way is to boot your machine, delete the Phase 5 libs and Cyberpatcher etc, install the MMULib archive then MuRedox, then reboot.

I have Matthey"s CopyMem.060 and TLSFMem too.

Sorry if I'm not so often here as in EAB, but I spend all my time trying to improve the next update. To start it will have the MMULib (thanks for the tip, nicholas), as I have the permission. You can use now for example a 060 with WinUAE (I can't test it for real with that). @Carvedeye you were saying "Intuition is attempting to reset the workbench. please close all windows except drawers" . The thing is that you have to reset AmiKit to change the screen mode or amount of colors. Also perhaps you are trying it under WinUAE and you haven't selected right the size of the screen (Display, full screen...).

And now to the point:

I've created (WIP) somekind of taskbar (yes, now you'll have 3 to choose) using TinyMeter and joining a menu with Magellan. This Taskbar will only be for Magellan users because of the Start Menu. Yes I could do also just a TinyMeter taskbar, but it woudn't give me the menus the Magellan Start menu does, and also the AmiKit Eye icon looks better using it.

I'm making an script to install it, but as I must change the position of the bar for the different screen modes, I want to know what screen modes you are using/want. Actually I've made 3 options to choose with the installer: Pal High Res Laced, SuperPlus and HighGFX.

Look:







For the Taskbar background I'm using an image of jPV, that also made a great taskbar time ago and has inspired me.

It can be partially transparent too:



My purpose is not making just my own taskbar, but to make the fastest one with nice graphics.

I'm waiting to know if you want any other screenmode supported, also betatesters (real machine) are welcomed and needed.
