So far I've only tried games and had a lot of problems with them
e.g. today I played a game called Hurrican for a few minutes and after I quit it the system froze so I couldn't do anything except turn the computer off and back on
Only tinygl and sdl are installed
I don't know what's causing the freezes
The browser also froze today for no reason
I'm aware that it's old hardware, but I don't understand why they port games that no one will be able to use because they run slowly.
The registration fee wouldn't be expensive if the system worked properly
I don't think it's just me who has freeze and it works perfectly for everyone else!
Moreover, this is the third machine I've used MOSt on. My very first machine was a Pegasos2 which ran games pretty well at the time, but there were also freezes.
Sending an error message to the developers is impossible because the system completely freezes
there are times when the mouse pointer moves but doesn't respond to anything no matter how much I click on it
I am also aware that the MorphOS team does not have the same financial support as Win or MacOS!
so it is natural that the possibility of errors is greater than on other systems
I don't want to blame MOS, I just want to find a solution that would reduce the freezes and allow me to play older games without any problems sometimes.
Details would be needed to find out what is wrong with your system. The programs that you run, which action you do exactly that makes them crash, the log from the LogTool and all that. “I don't know what's causing the freezes” – we also not. We do not even see your computer. So details will help. Many users are using MorphOS regularly and for hours. Music, graphics, text, internet (Wayfarer, Iris), calender (Poly Orga) and many many more. I often can run the compouter all day without a single reboot. Otherwise I would not use it. And I use most of the programs that are on the CD and many many more from Aminet and MorphOS Storage.
Did you start with a fresh MorphOS install on the G5? Because you mentioned that you also connected an old disk to it. Maybe the problems come from there.
I don’t game, but I think others are doing it and it does not freeze for everyone. I propose you only use one title at a time and see if the system behaves stable. If it crashes then you know which program or game crashes. Then you can answer the first of the questions from above here.
Also for applications, tools. Firest, only use the ones from the CD, no external software. The ones on the CD must be stable.
If that is stable then check out system friendly software from Aminet or MorphOS Storage. Start only one at a time and use it for the half hour that you have. Maybe repeat it next time after you rebooted. Many of us are using the programs and they do not crash al lthe time. So there might be something odd in your system. Maybe also the RAM. Did you check it is correct? Or do you have other modules to try? OR did you use the system with MacOS? Is it stable there? If you boot from the CD and run all the programs that are on the CD only, does it also freeze? Where exactly?
The error sending report works, so this more speaks that something is very odd with your system.
Many more questions to answer next to the unanswered from above 😊
THen we can hopefully help you.
