When I have upgraded to MOS 1.4.4 I encounterd some small Problems. I solved the last one just a few minutes ago, and I thought it might be a good Idea to share the Solutions to others, saving some time perhaps
Feel free to add your Problem/Solution here as well
First advice: Please make a complete Backup from your syspartition! If you haven`t since a long time, now it is a good reason to make one
I know that the Installer Script makes a backup from MOSSYS: but you`ll never know...
Problem:
Multimediakeys on an USB Keyboards seem no longer to work and you can`t set them again.
Solution:
The Poseidonversion installed with 1.4.4 is still 2.1. You obviously had allready the update to 2.2. So please update Poseidon again.(and don`t forget to include the romupdate in Startup-sequence)
Problem:
Arexx is working no longer.
Solution:
Well, the Rexx Implemention is still not complete. Like in the previous Mos Version, you need the 68k Rexxsyslib.library. It should be allready in Sys:libs but there is now again the rexxsys.lib replacment in MOSSYS:libs. Just rename rexxsyslib.library in MOSSYS:libs to rexxsyslib_1.4.library and everything should work fine
Problem:
Weather refuses to work
Solution:
Mosmedia still isn`t part of Mos 1.4.4. But weather needs that to work. Just reinstall MOSmedia.
Problem:
I am using BN II Skin or Ofour Skin. After the update the Muisettings miss several Images.
Solution:
Once again, What is not part of the official MOSSYS, won`t be there after the upgrade. You have to install the Mui set from every Skin again.
Problem:
Earth2140 with ahipatch doesn`t work any longer, just a black screen appears.
Solution:
You have obviously installed the audio.device replacement. The only Solution I found so far is to remove it, without audio.device it works fine.
No Idea where the actual Problem is, have to contact the author of that device, but perhaps he read it here?
Problem:
MuiCon is working no longer.
Solution:
Well I just notice that for the sake of completness, but it is allready mentioned in the Readme, you have to reinstall Muicon
Problem:
I have installed the latest Ambient CVS Version, but now it seems it is Ambient 1.29 again
Solution:
Well IIRC 1.4.4 is mainly bugfixing and not a featureupdate. And Ambient still isn`t officaly released (and I am even not sure how it will be added with future Mos releases)
So if you want Ambient CVS again, well.. you know... reinstall it
Problem:
SMSPlus, Genesisplus and TGEmu crashing badly.
(Don`t start at all)
Solution:
You have allready upgraded your AHI installation.
But with the 1.4.4 Update there is the Audiomode DEVICE missing (IIRC it was decided not to include because there was/is a bug? dunno for sure), but it seems to be still set in your ahiprefs. I simply reinstalled the DEVICE Audiomode, but I guess it can also help to set your Musicunit to something which is actually available.
Problem:
PSA don`t work, It starts, but then exit with "output
driver not responding"
Solution:
The same as above, just reinstall audiomode DEVCE and everything works again
Problem:
SNES9X seems to flicker in the bottom line after the Upgrade when using Overlay. I have a Radeon Card.
Solution:
Well, I have allready contacted Fabien about that, and he told me that overlay for the Radeon Drivers has changed to doublebuffering, and he need to fix some code in snes9X. So stay tuned, I am sure he will release the update for snes9x "when it`s done"
Conclusion:
Well it seems that most from the Problems are related to the fact that we allready have much 3rd Partys update/enhancments which didn`t make it into the Update. Ok, we where told not to touch MOSSYS, but there are allready so much "goodies" which I don`t want to miss, and this make it neccesary to touch MOSSYS, no matter what we were adviced to. But I hope the Situation will be better with MOS 1.5 (or 1.666 or Mos turtleedition or whatever it will be named)
Oh and perhaps they will also find a solution for the growing number of 3rd parties Mui Imagesets
