As far as I understand that the very latest linux-kernel that can provide m68k amiga plattform support is "2.4.37.9" https://youtu.be/cUcE12W15Aw?si=amQwQckMBTnmvAyL&t=317

Update on the AD1980 issue. Was doing some test builds and dr.zeissler tested over the last two weeks with some back-and-forth. Turns out we were quite close to the real answer to begin with, 3 bits need to be set on the MISC (0x76) register: 0x4000 - AC97NC 0x0400 - HPSEL 0x0020 - LOSEL Pull …

Don't forget that up to G550 also native amithlon support for the matrox-cards up from mystique!

Severance Bod requires DX8 for installation but runs fine even if the machine has only dx7 installed. Sometimes it seems to me like a marketing thing to require a newer dx-version (but does not make any use of it)

OS/2 is an interesting topic. I did several installs. I own the original Floppy Versions from 1.3 1.31 2.0 2.10 2.11 3.0. With a good MGA 450/550 you still get OS/2 and WINOS/2 Drivers so you can run Win3x Apps with highres and true colors, even if matrox dropped win3x support with G400 cards. I …
Re: Using an FX 5200 for old games
Posted on 2024-04-01, 08:06
I just swapped my MGA G450 AGP-LP against a FX5200. 3D is a lot better and OpenGL has a working VSYNC. I will probably stay on that FX-5200 because it has Amithlon-Support with Kernel 310 too. nice!

Diakatana should bei DeusEX engine, which is Unreal engine...should support more than opengl or am I wrong here? Daikatana looks really beutiful, but it does not run stable, it always crashes in the first level, don't know what the issue is here.

USB floppy drive. You can read and write sector based image files without issues. At least on Linux you can. No special software or hardware is necessary to create or write them back. No 5,25" USB Floppy Drive available. I currently transfer diskimages to the real machine and write the pc-booters …

Winimage img/ima are just raw sector dumps. You don't need anything special to write them to disk. Win-Image can not address floppy-drives connected to a catweasel-controller. New machines do not support two floppys in the bios. that's my point. I need to write all images via software for the …

Hi there, I have some old machines and want to write floppy-disks for these. In order to do so I bought a catweasel controller just to find out that writing back to floppys only these filetypes are supported: (bin) (read and write) (g64) (read and write) (adf) (read and write) Amiga (d71) (read and …

Re: Video playback on a 286? - here's how to do it
Posted on 2024-02-26, 10:45
I think I should use uncompressed video in 320/200 or less with 256 colors or 256 greyscales with 8khz mono-sound. I need a solution to generate such files out of e.g. DVD's and a player that can run this on a 286/8 from HDD. Space is not a problem. I have 4x2GB on that A2286.

Thank you, I am using amiga-explorer for small files too... this is a transfer directly to the amiga via win95-pc. so no A2286 required. I will ckeck everything ET4000 related and perhaps stay on that card.

@orcish75 Can you tell me how you shared the network access from the PC-Side to the Amiga? On my machine (KS 1.3) I mount the network-share on the PC-Side with Dos TCP-IP "net use..." and if I want to get files over to the amiga side I use "awrite". That is very slow using the dualported ram of the …

I love the matrox mystique, it's a excellent card. the build quality is fine so is the vga output. Lot's of drivers for different OS (Win3x/9x/OS2/NT..) It's much much faster than my RageIIc onboard on my Scovery-212 system and it has some acceleration in amithlon (picasso96 screenmodes, nice!) …
