use mplayer for winblows and no m$ software
anyway .. i tryed mame and mol videos (with sound disabled cause of
the radio) and they are very boring
-mame video show only an old galaga game for a few seconds
-mol video show macos booting and a static desktop screen then it
display a kind of photo album

in any case it's not worth the download (28mo each)

I can confirm that the movies play well in FroggerNG (Amiga),
complete with sound.

Wow! Seeing MOS live makes it look a lot better than just static
screenshots. The speed of the GUI is just fantastic. Very cool:)

Somethings not right. mpeg should be working on just about every platform. there's a program floating around called "Gspot" which will let you look at the 4cc code to determine AVI codecs, and will show you directshow information for mpeg filters, and it seems to think that this is bog standard mpeg.

I couldn't get it not to work no matter what I tried. It's possible directshow on your machine is acting up from a patch made by one of those binary patch mp4 programs (angelpotion?) but I'm not too familiar with them.

Strange that your DVD player can play it but WMediaplayer can! WMPlayer should be able to play ANYTHING once the DVD player has registered it's filters with directshow, even DVD's. I blame directshow! :)

Idonno. I guess we could batch out a divx version, and possibly an ASCII version for suitably fubared Windows boxes :)

This reminds me of those few Amiga sites that have a javascript that refuses access to Internet Explorer.

Hi All
Thanks for your comments and I appreciate the criticism and compliments. @hooligan comment 2 was funny. @windoze users - Its pretty weird they are Industry Standard MPEG1 videos - should be playble with all players. After site was uploaded ppl started to tell me windoze media player didnt play them.. thats ridiculous. I'm sorry about that. I dont have time right now but maybe someone can change them to divx format for me or something? All the more reason to get a Pegasos and Morphos no need to use Windoze and pcs! :)

Very nice video's and quick system. ImageFX effect timings seem to be very close to my Athlon 2200+ system running Amiga Forever. Good job guys.

I'm needing a new computer this Oct-Nov... 3 runners currently are PegasOS, due mostly to these videos, AmigaOne (assuming Amiga has an AmigaOS4.0 released) or Amd Athlon64 w/ Amiga Forever.... We'll see what Aug-Sept brings in the marketplace.

Same experience here after installing MorphOS, then had the bright idea to massively increase the number of buffers in the partitioning program for SFS, and suddenly things started to fly (plain IDE) :-) No idea why such a critical detail is not mentioned in the installation sheet, the difference is like night and day.

Well the problem with OS4 for A1 (if it happens) and Amithlon is that you will only be able to run classic OS3.x apps. That is until somenone makes OS4 applications, which is tough because it doesnt exsist yet to develop on! Amithlon can only run the classic apps and MOrphOS has tons of native applications currently and in the future! Also, MOS runs Warpup/PowerUp (Amiga ppc) programs and OS4 does not! So the clear choice is Pegasos/mos!

How massively did you increase the number of buffers in the partitioning program for SFS?

Posted by Roj on 08-Jul-2003 18:35 GMT
The ImageFX video lets me know my system isn't THAT outdated yet. I've got three high-end SCSI drives connected to my CSPPC. Each one tops out a little over 30MB/sec and IFX and YAM load every bit as fast here as they did in the MorphOS video. The processing speed of IFX doesn't come close, even with the IFX PPC package, but at least my drive speed still holds its own, for whatever that's worth.

I have 800 for SFS buffers on each drive. This of course makes a differance.
-To the Cyberstorm owner - how are you getting 30/mb a sec? I have a Baraccuda and a Cheetah on my Cyberstorm and I dont get that rate. Please describe it. Also, Image Fx will be MUCh faster with Trance JIT Emulation.

I have randomly decided to use 512 buffers for the 512 MB MorphOS system partition. Maybe you should ask somebody who knows what that number means ;-) But I can confirm that this with 512 buffers, the speed of installations etc. has *massively* improved. I have a 40 GB Barracuda IDE.

On another note, IFX runs about twice as
fast in most areas if you are using the
PPC modules that are available from
NovaDesign and I expect the JIT to raise
the speed several times over too. My Yam
opens just as quick with about 7000 emails.
All the native apps really blaze and 68k apps
are quick too. One of the most common responses
when I show this system to others is:
"it's just sooo fast compared to my computer!" :)

The videos work perfect on FroggerNG
MorphOS native version, they appear to be
quite standard MPEG files. About buffers, I
think you can use the standard "Addbuffers"
command to add more buffers at any time, I
have this in my startup-sequence by default.

Well, as I said before, they all plays just fine in both Winamp and Windows Mediaplayer here! I am using Windwos XP (SP1), Winamp 3.0d (build 488), Windows Media Player 8.00.00.4487.

The "MorphOS / Pegasos - QUICKSTART Guide" v2.5 tells you to set the buffer to 600. I don't recall I saw this recommendation in the earlier versions (to be honest I have only looked at the first version), so my SFS partition have a lot less!

See MorphOS in action : Comment 41 of 59ANN.lu
Posted by Kelly Samel on 08-Jul-2003 22:50 GMT
If you add this line to your s:user-startup for
each partition, you will get a big speed boost:

addbuffers dh0: 600

Just change dh0: with whatever your partition(s)
are called. This needs to be executed every time
of course, which is why you want it in a place
like the user startup.

On the cyberstorm I have over 30 MB/s (Tested with Amigamark).
I use a 7200 rpm IDE drive with a scsi bridge.
On the Pegasos I have over 40 MB/s using a 7200 RPM udma drive.
With 8MB of cache the drive is very fast.

In reply to Comment 40 (takemehomegrandma):
Coincidence !
I always had my partitions set up to 600 buffers.
The best way is to change it in the RDB with scsiconfig.
And for those who never checked their CSPPC boot menu, setting up a drive to synchronous improve dramatically the performances.

The original was IIRC:

"Also, MOS runs Warpup/PowerUp (Amiga ppc) programs and OS4 does not!"

So it says "does not" and not "will not". I agree that it may be misleading for some, but ATM the statement is true, like it or not. However I'm sure there will be some sort of WOS/PUP compatibility in OS4 as it is almost a must.
