Emulation: Simplified installation guide for AmigaOS 4.1 under QEMU
In mid-April Amiga-News.de had published Rene Engel's updated installation guide of AmigaOS 4.1 under QEMU 8.1. Since then numerous attempts have been made to improve the emulation and simplify the installation. Rene Engel has kindly summarised the efforts for us and published a correspondingly updated and simplified installation guide in the forum (German):
"The QEMU developer Balaton Zoltan, who mainly concentrates on the Amiga operating systems MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.1 by means of Qmiga, has written an alternative boot loader for the Pegasos-2 emulation, which he himself calls BBoot. This bootloader simplifies Pegasos-2 installation many times over (YouTube video).
The modification of the Pegasos-2-Install-ISO and Pegasos2.Rom are no longer necessary. AmigaOS 4.1 Update 3 is also no longer needed, as A-Cube has made the Silicon Motion chip required for the emulation freely available on OS4Depot.
The new driver can now display resolutions up to 1920x1080, the limitation to 16 bit remains for the time being. With the new boot loader, up to 2048 MB memory allocation is now possible under the QEMU Pegasos 2 emulation. The boot process has accelerated again with the new boot loader.
They are currently working on an AmigaOne emulation, which already works to a limited extent."
