AmigaSYS 4 - Xbox version released!

(IMG:http://amigasys.extra.hu/xboxmini.jpg)

With a bit of delay, but finally arrived the AmigaSYS 4 - Xbox version.

The Xbox version is based fully on the AGA version, with several updates, news, and a whole new outfit, with some new Xbox extra.

In the AmigaSYS 4 series, the following version is the XBOX, and because of this, we used the new stuffs there first, for example the totally redesigned installers, (the 2 disked install (can be installed without disk swapping) ), even better program configurations, better compatibility and better handle.

Now, the language support increased from 5 to 6, the french language support is finally done, wich is implemented into the XBOX version first...

Wow....

A contender for the Xtras (if it even needs the treatment), if I can ever figure out how to work it. Sounds like the dirty work is already done though.

Thanks BB,

Can somebody who's figured this out give me a quick step by step how to get it all working with the XBox? I'd like to see how far along it is and what work would still need to be done.

Thanks,

First you have to get the original workbench 3.0/3.1/3.9 disks because they are copyrighted. Then you have to copy the Amigasys HDF and these disks to your Xbox. In Winuaex, boot the HDF and when prompted, insert the workbench disk. After the installation procédure, eject the floppies, reset "the amiga" and you'll see a full Workbench environment ready to load HD games, amiga music files, demos and even emulators.

I set my config with Winuae windows and uploaded the result, though. It was easier to copy WHDload games with a mouse/keyboard. In my configuration, I use the Amigasys plus an additional HDF I build for games only.

Please notice that there is a good frontend named KGLoad (still beta). It's designed for winuae and real amigas and should work on xbox.

Now although in my average IQ mind that all seems pretty damn confusing to me still, I have to admit that looks equally as damn cool. Are those screenshots from what it looks like on the XBox?

I gotta try this. I think I'll devote some time to it this weekend and see if I come up with anything.

Thanks waal,

You're welcome.

Yes, KGLoad is an amiga program. So the display will be the same on any system that hosts an emulator. Currently, what you see is the Amiga AGA version (256 colors). So the screenshots must have indexed palettes.

Let me know, if you want to learn more on Commodore Amiga. I spent a whole month setting a complete environment.

Waal, please could you explain how you setup KGLoad on the xbox.

waal · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2009, 08:23:00 AM »

Like I said, KGLoad is an AMIGA program designed to be used on both real amigas and emulators. So the first step is to configure it with "amiga system" knowledge. Which I did at first then quit. The main reason is that the the development is far from final i.e there's is no autodetection, so you have to edit each game manually. If you succeed, you'd have to create a bootable amiga HD image swapping with Winuae and several amiga and windows tools. All of this is far of the xbox...

Better use AmigaSys 4 which is already set and includes iGame, a game browser.
