Installing Amigaos 3.9 Winuae

AmigaOS 3.5, 3.9 Around six years after AmigaOS 3.1 was released, following Commodore's demise, Haage & Partner were granted a license to update AmigaOS, which was released in 1999 as a software-only update for existing systems, that ran at least on a 68(EC)020 processor. AmigaOS 3.9 is a Software-only Update wo ROMs. However, it needs Kickstart 3.1 ROMs) AmigaOS 3.9 is the Update for OS 3.5but it can also be installed directly on top of an OS 3.1 system.

I shallwrite some things for introduction, what should we count, to make AmigaSYS4 working perfectly under E-UAE too. E-UAE are very good, knows all, whatis recommended nowdays and required to run AmigaSYS 4, but the GUI is quiteincomplete, so be prepared to set some things manually in the configurationfile with a text editor, for example the HDF or the internet bsdsocketsettings.

I tryto sum everything nicely, and make a detailed and understable documentation,to brief everybody. The documentation made under Linux, but in theory allE-UAE is the same port, so there cannot be a basic difference between them,the configuration is similar, or totally the same (except the JIT and somesmaller settings).

I thinkit's enough for introduction, let's see. :)

Stepone: download the latest version of E-UAE,0.8.28/29 or newer. If this is done, then extract it to a place, we knowand it won't be a problem to give a directory path in the configurationfile.

Tip:It is a good idea to rename the E-UAE directory to something shorter, becauseit is very long in default and in the configuration file, we should givea shorter, i renamed it to EUAE. (I will refer to this directory name.)

Steptwo: Extract the AmigaSYS4-E-UAE.zip to theEUAE directory, if this is done, you have to meed the following directories:
AmigaSYS,AmigaSYSHelp, CDInstall, ROMS, ADF.
AmigaSYS= AmigaSYS files System and the Work
AmigaSYSHelp= The help files, wich is currently readed by you.
CDInstall= AmigaOS 3.9 files will come to here (AmigaOS 3.9 install).
ROMS= Reserved for Kickstart ROMs (copy ROM files and the key if needed.)
ADF= If you need a 3.0/3.1 system, copy the ADFs to here.

Stepthree: Basic configuration settings:

Weneed basic settings, to run AmigaSYS 4. The GUI helps in this very well,we can set almost every basic settings without tweaking the .uaerc file.I attached the original configuration file with the documentation (becauseof other systems, for example where is no gui), you can look after everythingin it, the file pathes naturally others, you must change them, my fileis only an example.

Youmust set these, in this order:

Simtown mac. Floppydisks: nothing.

Memory:You must specify the Kickstart.rom file's path, if we use Amiga Forever,then Kickstart ROM file + Kickstart key. If you want to install 3.0/3.1,then Kickstart 3.0/3.1, if AmigaOS 3.9 then Kickstart 3.1 in every case.

Chipram: 2 MB, Slow: 0MB, Fast: 0MB, Z3 RAM: 64MB, P96 8 vagy 16 MB (if youwant to use huge e.g.:1650x1080 resolution then you need the mire memorysetting, 8/16 MB P96 memory is enough for 1024 or 1280).

CPU:
68040,Emulation speed: Maximum.

Chipset:
AGA,PAL, Emulation speed: 1, Sprite collosions: Sprite&playfields

Sound:
Accourate,Stereo, 16 bit.

JIT:

Workaccess: indirect
Longaccess: indirect
Addresslookup: indirect

(JITsupport is only available on x86 processors! If your processor is not x86e.g.: PPC, then you cannot set JIT support. The JIT highly increases thespeed of the emulation, on the non-x86 machines the emulation will be slower,because the lack of this).

Port1:Mouse Port2:Mouse/Joypad/keyboard

HDDsettings:

Installing Amigaos 3.9 Winuae Inches

We'llmeet the first problem, because the HDF (virtual harddisk, wich is usedby AmigaSYS) cannot be set from the GUI. Now save the configuration, File/Saveconfig, and quit from the emulator.

Note:The configuration is always saved to the /home/username/.uaerc location.

Tip:If the .uaerc is not visible, just write it into the searcher, search location:/home/, it will find it in a second, then we can drag and drop it intoa simple text editor, wich will open it. After this, we must do the followingthings:

Amigaos 3.5

Underthe �state_replay_buffer=20971520� settings,the following parameters must be written:

hardfile2=rw,DH0:/home/Workstation/EUAE/AmigaSYS/AmigaSYS/AmigaSYS4E-UAE.hdf,32,1,2,512,0,
hardfile=rw,32,1,2,512,/home/Workstation/EUAE/AmigaSYS/AmigaSYS/AmigaSYS4E-UAE.hdf
filesystem2=rw,DH1:Work:/home/Workstation/EUAE/AmigaSYS/Work,0
filesystem=rw,Work:/home/Workstation/EUAE/AmigaSYS/Work

Theseare the settings of System and Work, the pathes must be set by your profile,depends on where is your hdf file, if you are done with these settings,save the file and start the emulator. If everything is ok, then the SystemHDF and the Work path will be visible on the Hard drives settings, if not,then you must be set something wrong, check the settings. If everythingis in place, then quit.

Tip:You can specify the Work drive in the emulator too, you cannot write itinto a file.
Ifyou do not know, where is the HDF file, or you are too lazy to write alot, go to the location of the HDF file with the window manager and copyout the path from the LOCATION textbox and paste it into the configurationfile and write after the pasted line: '/AmigaSYS-UAE'.

Internet:

Music tag editor for mac 10.6. Thismust be specified in the configuration file too:
setthe option 'bsdsocket_emu=false' to 'bsdsocket_emu=true'.

Inthe configuration file the FALSE=NO the TRUE=YES in all cases, i writeit down, because there is a lot of settings, and maybe you want to usethem later.

Tips:
Itis recommended to set the floppy's speed to a higher value (maximum 800).

We'redone with the settings, but do not start the emulation yet. If you do notwant to install AmigaOS 3.9, then you're nearly done with the documentation,because, you do not have to follow the 3.9 part to use the 3.0/3.1 system.

Stepfour: If you choose to use AmigaOS 3.0/3.1,then you only have to do the following things:

Rightclick on EUAE directory and select Properties.
Selectthe Permissions panel and set the permissions to these:
Owner:Can View & Modify Content
Group:Can View & Modify Content
Others:Can View & Modify Content
Andat below check the 'Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents'option and click on the OK button, after little waiting, the computer willfinish.

Ifyou're done with this, start the emulator and click on the Start button.The installs are simple, available in five languages, but if you're stuck,then read the AmigaSYS 4 WINUAE documentation on the official website itcontains all the installs' descriptions.

AmigaOS3.9 install:

Installingof the AmigaOS3.9 versions won't be so easy like under WinUAE, becausethe Linux uses another method to handle the attributes, so the Amiga Foreverand AmigaOS 3.9 CD-s must be copied to the HD and then, validate the attributes.

Tip:Actually, it should be only true for the Amiga Forever CD-s, that you mustcopy the contents, because on the others, the usual RWED attributes used,but on several Linux version ignored the RWED attributes and it didn'tworked! So, i suggest to copy the full CD and then it will work, for sure,it is only a few minutes and it must be done only once, and it spares alot of time and questions.

Betweenthe AmigaSYS files, you'll found a directory: 'CDInstall', wich containsthe followings: AmigaOS3.9, Amiga Forever, AmigaOS XL.
Youhave to copy the files to the correct place, if you have AmigaOS3.9 CDthen AmigaOS3.9 directory etc.
Alist, wich helps:

Thesecan go to AmigaOS3.9 directory:
-H&P AmigaOS 3.9 Pink.
-H&P AmigaOS 3.9 Red.
Thesecan go to Amiga Forever directory:
-Amiga Forever 5 CD (3.9) .
-Amiga Forever 6 CD (3.9) .
-Amiga Forever 2005 Plus/Premium CD (3.9).
-Amiga Forever 2006 Plus/Premium CD (3.9).
-Amiga Forever 2008 Plus/Premium CD (3.9).
Thesecan go to AmigaOS XL directory:
-AmigaOS XL Amithlon CD. (3.9).

Ifyou're done, with the copy, then you must specify a new drive, the directorywhere the CD was copied, settings at Hard Drives:

Volume:DH2 (every cases)
Name:AmigaOS3.9, AmigaForever, AmigaOS XL (You must write that directory's name,wich where you copied the files, exactly the same! Watch for spaces too!).If you're done, save the configuration (Files/Save config), and quit.

Rightclick on EUAE directory and select Properties.
Selectthe Permissions panel and set the permissions to these:
Owner:Can View & Modify Content
Group:Can View & Modify Content
Others:Can View & Modify Content
Andat below check the 'Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents'option and click on the OK button, after little waiting, the computer willfinish.

HstWB Installer is an application, which can automate installation of Amiga OS, Kickstart roms and packages with additional content.

Creating new harddrive images for Classic Amiga and installing Amiga OS, Kickstart roms, ClassicWB, WHDLoad games and demos properly can be a cumbersome task unless you spend a lot of time figuring out how this is done step by step.

This is where HstWB Installer comes to aid and can help simplifying installations and make it possible for almost anyone to do with very little knowledge about Amiga.

To simplify installation HstWB Installer presents options to choose which Amiga OS, Kickstart roms and packages to install. Installation process can be run on a real Amiga by writing harddrive image to CF/SD-card or harddisk or using an emulator.

Running HstWB Installer requires Amiga OS iso, adf files or floppy disks and optionally Kickstart roms, if harddrive images will be used for running WHDLoad demos and games.

It's recommended to use prebuild self install images and run the installation process on a PC or Mac using an emulator first as it's faster than real Amiga. Afterwards the harddrive image can be written to CF/SD-card or harddisk for use in a real Amiga.

For more advanced installation, HstWB Installer can be run to build own customized images or self install images. HstWB Installer uses either WinUAE or FS-UAE emulator to build images
