Hi. I am sure you can help me.

I am trying to emulate ApolloOS in WinUAE emulator, I already have an AROS somewhat old ROM and I have segregated the two partitions in the disk image (Apollo OS 9.4 and 9.4.2), but I can´t make it run appropriately.

What do I need to do to make it work? I am a complete amateur and don't have too many technical skills.

Thanks in advance!

As said in PM, as soon as I download your version of Apollo I will see if I can help you.

I thank you for testing AROS One x86, when available AROS One 68k will have the same configuration, same Icons, same Themes.

Thanks!

Earlier versions of ApolloOS installed easily, the R9.4.2 version, on the other hand, made me work harder than I had to, then I finally found out how to install it, see screendhot.

The error message you receive is that you are not connected to the network, which WinUAE does not need.
The message is eliminated by deactivating the command in the Startup-sequence.

The problem I had was the icons not being recognised by the Workbench, this was because ApolloOS was mapping a Rom not supported by WinUAE.

I eventually solved the problem by deactivating the resident Icon.library, and mapping the icon.library installed in in Libs.

Tomorrow and give information on how to start it up!

attention apolloos cannot be distributed there are legal notices about it

ApolloOS CF Image and distributed publicly here:

https://www.apollo-computer.com/downloads.php

Distribution is prohibited not personal use I think !

apolloos can only be used by those with a vampire

Amiwell people use WinUAE to test ApolloOS!

Hi. Yes, but all those were done with previous versions of Apollo OS, all of which I haven't found in the internet.

As I said, my technical resources are limited, so I won't know how to apply the solution you mentioned.

Thanks anyways!

ajfa my scrennshot is of R9.4.2, which I managed to install!

I know! but I don't know how to deactivate the resident Icon.library and map the icon.library installed in Libs.

If you know how to edit the startup-sequence, it is very simple, you just have to insert a string before the setpatch!

I'll look into it. Thanks.

This is my startup-sequence file:

OK, before 'SetPatch NOVBRMOVE QUIET' you have to enter this string, example:


C:RemLib >NIL: icon.library
C:RemLib >NIL: workbench.library

SetPatch NOVBRMOVE QUIET

The 'RemLib' command can be found in PeterK's Icon.library package

http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4

In addition, you can delete 'all' strings relating to 'ApolloControl' from the startp-sequence, on WinUAE they are not needed and may annoy some software.

[quote name=Amiwell79 post=6995]@Amiwell79 - apolloos can only be used by those with a vampire[/quote]

First of all thanks for developing strong m68k distro, that should be as paid version be avail
to all 060 RTG/UAE users - m68k distro is great. If you wish exclusivity, no public download,
paid version for others, software bundled with V4 only, sent to V2 users separately.

Vampire name is (c) by Igor Majstorovic, Majsta, you have only all other birds, dragons and Krakens available.

Why then its a free download?
How does this fit AROS license, its is 90 percent based on?
CoffinOS could also be modified to work on WinUAE/UAE. When AES, OS 3.5,OS 3.9 or OS 3.2.2 are used no one prohibited Vampire use, except one coder Ab42 in Mapparium (never fixed with him?)
Is V2 support still included with ApolloOS or its V4 only?

If you know any plans on:
- Making full size board or at least one in all computer like Spectrum NEXT, Mega65 (kind of integration with expander, looking more like real board)
- Licensing just chipset or CPU or both to other FPGA systems?
- Re-releasing last alpha beta of GOLD3 core for V2 that did exist and was promised as AGA to all V600, V500 users minus fpu, floppy? Surely not mature as V4, but some compatibility list would help
- Bundling Both ApolloOS, AES/FreeMINT and MacOS emu pack?
- Fixing ApollOS v4 ROM to support AmiKit XE out of box, not only via Omni?
- Restarting cheap V2 production with Majsta to be more competitive to PiStorm and having again product for masses?
