    Hello,

    For the last 2 weeks my family went to visit Nevada. While we were out there I lugged back my old MDD tower that I registered MorphOS on many years ago. After connecting the tower, it booted right into MorphOS and the way I had things set. The last version it had was 3.11 so it has been some time ago. Updating to 3.18 was swift and worked fine. I do miss MorphOS and glad to be back even if its on an old MDD. :) Wayfarer works great but of course the G4 is starting to show its age a bit. In time I will try to source a G5 that has DDR2 memory.

    Hope you all have a good day.

    Welcome back :)

    I hope you'll enjoy all the work done between 3.11 and 3.18!

    Thanks. So far its been working ok. For some reason when I am playing any audio through either Eagleplayer, AmigaAMP, or AmiNetRadio the MDD will freeze up on the audio. I will try a PCI sound card first as for now I was only using the onboard sound on the MDD through the headphone jack up front.

    @ Doffo - I never use (since I migrated from 68k Classic Amigas) Eagleplayer, AmigaAMP, or AmiNetRadio as they just work poorly, freeze or are not as compatible as native MorphOS utilities, such as Jukebox (screenbar utility), or RNOTunes usually in conjunction with RNOInfoScreen, though I sometimes use DAPlayer, but not very often compared to the other two. 8-D

    My advice would be to not bother trying a PCI audio card, as it will most likely be a waste of your time to try to get those old audio utilities from the 68k era to function correctly with MorphOS - use something intended for MorphOS.

    I never got Eagleplayer v2.x (which I really used to like and paid for a licenced key when using 68k) as it doesn't work as it should with MorphOS code (even with the supposed 'fixes') usually, same for AminetRadio, which I never got good mileage out of even during my 68k Classic Amiga years. I initially was disappointed that the 68k music utilities had to be abandoned, but now that JukeBox, RNOTunes, etc., are available I don't miss them at all. :-D

    Don't forget that there is also RNORadio and WebRadio (screenbar utility) that can play many of the current internet streamed radio stations (I'm using WebRadio as I write this reply) so I recommend you try those as well, as you'll probably enjoy using them as well. ;-)

    Eagleplayer does seem to work ok for me, but of course that changes sometimes. I will look into something else to play musics from.

    At least on the G5 I was able to do 720p videos @ 30 fps. Never tried 60 FPS videos to see how it would handle it.
