HKvalhe's AmigaOne 500 Blog: Improving and Adding ;)


Doing the blog with TimberWolf

Hi folks! Been a while since the previous blog, so now something exciting is happening, as we move closer to Christmas. Let me tell.

Recently, about two days ago, AmiCygnix was updated to version 1.2, as well as its' Tools addition. At the same time, AmiUpdate updated itself to the latest version, that is 2.20. Also a new AmiCygnix application called Audaclouds was installed into my system as well.

On the picture to the right, you see Audaclouds - a Winamp clone for the Windows X enviroment AmiCygnix.

RadeonHD driver updated to version 0.54!

Here it runs in a standalone window right on AmigaOS! Audio is quite good! You can see the playlist and the editor as well as the main program. Very nice and powerful amplifier! Perhaps we could see Xine movie player ported, too, from Linux?

A-EON Technology was uploading the latest RadeonHD driver version 0.54, both for the X1000 and AmigaOne 500 14th of November 2012. I downloaded the AmigaOne 500 version and installed it into my system! The edvidence is seen on the small screenshot of me typing the word Version RadeonHD.chip in Shell, and it says "RadeonHD.chip 0.54"! Installation was successful!


A small bug in AmiUpdate 2.20


2 unsuccessful updates ignored

AmiUpdate was, as mentioned, updated to version 2.20 successfully and working as supposed to, but seems to have a bug when trying to open its' preference. Hopefully this will be sorted out for the next version of AmiUpdate. It also showed 2 updates regarding both a Greek and Danish language support for AmiUpdate, but both were not entirely successfully installed, so i included them into the ignore list.

I don't even need these 2 languages. Now it doesn't bother asking about these 2 updates again. However, i will take this small problem up for a debate at Hyperion Entertainment Support Forum and see what happens. Hopefully these minor bugs will be erased! It's frustrating...

Nevertheless, i also spent time surfing the net. All from regular news to checking for new Blu-ray movies release here in Norway at Platekompaniet.
I even took time to rework the bookmarks in MUI-OWB so that the most important bookmarks are visible as buttons, while the less important bookmarks are visible in the menu only, making it more tidy looking! I'm very happy!
