Games : : AmiArcadia 13.02 ported to MorphOS
Posted By: Minuous. on 2010/2/13 4:54:52
Amigan Software are proud to announce the availability of the Signetics-based machines multi-emulator AmiArcadia 13.02 for MorphOS. The previous MorphOS release was the now very obsolete V4.81. Thanks to Stefan Haubenthal for undertaking the port.

Improvements in V13.02 as compared to V4.81 are far too numerous to list, but include emulation of PIPBUG-based machines, Signetics Instructor 50, Central Data 2650, Astro Wars, Galaxia, Malzak 1 & 2 and Chaos 2, as well as support for the French, German, Italian and Russian languages.

    When started it prints "Error 3!" in a shell window and exits. When ran the second time it crashes after displaying this message.

    Error 3 means: "Installed version of icon.library is V43 or earlier".

    What version of icon.library do you use?

    OK, I will have to skip that check when MorphOS is detected. I was under the impression that MorphOS files were V50 but this must obviously not be a correct assumption.

    In the meantime, you could probably get it to work by hacking the version string of icon.library to make it V44 or later.

    I wonder why MorphOS uses a version numbering scheme that is inconsistent, incompatible and misleading.
    But anyway, V13.03 is out and it works around this issue.

    The icon.library version is frozen to 41.x because it does not implement extensions from H&P (icon.library versions 44 and 45).

    Well, that makes sense then.

    But the problem is that window.class depends on icon.library V44. Therefore AmiArcadia V13.03 is apparently crashing because of this.

    This seems to indicate that basically all ReAction programs are going to not be able to run under MorphOS, which is a real shame. Given that OS3.9 is now 10 years old it is strange that its functionality is still not yet supported by MorphOS, which is supposed to be more advanced.

    We dont really support 3.5 or 3.9 but only 3.1. Anyway, is it possible use window.class from ClassAct instead?

    Well, a window.class V42 gives "Error 10".
    At least no endless loop  :-P

    OK, we have fixed some of these issues for the V13.03 release for MorphOS, which is now available on Aminet. There are still some similar issues remaining regarding minimum required ReAction gadget versions.
