Also you can make demos with Hollywood that run in all Amiga systems.

@JumpingKiwi Sorry i have not understand fully what you are looking for...but i'll try to help with some facts. AROS is an OS (Operative System) not directly compatible with Windows, Linux, MacOS...and Amiga 68k executable. If you have done something with a Demomaker that create some demo runnable only on Windows or Amiga, sorry you could not run directly on AROS. You could execute Amiga 68k and DOS programs/demo/games with the use of an emulator (DOSBox for DOS and UAE for Amiga for example). Different thing if you have the sources (some .c or .c++ and .h files) of a program/game/demo, but you should take in mind that if a program/demo/game is designed/programmed only for Windows/Linux/MacOS/Amiga...you should make a port to make it run. Porting from another OS, could be easy or very difficult, and sometimes almost impossible for the amount of work needed, depend much on the code/Libs (library) used to compile and your programming skills. Most of my ports are Linux based and use more or less the same libs available on AROS...so they are easy ports. If you have some music files (like .mp3, mod, wav and so on) you could play fine on AROS. Hope i made things more clear...if not feel free to ask.

It is indeed complicated to port them to AROS, possibly check with user "Farox" who has ported some Demo Scenes to AROS: https://www.arosworld.org/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1242&highlight=demo+scene&pid=4990#post_4990

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=5856]@AMIGASYSTEM - I don't quite understand what you want to do, which application do you use to create demoscenes on Windows? can you put the link?[/quote]ODSM (old skool demo scene maker) I dio have an idea it makes it clunky and not an executable of any kind that is olay the demo made with the audio as mp3 and just screen record them they will just be video but as a demoscene video not a standard artwork background then. I've made my own songs I wanted them to be demoscene files but I can't do it as mp3 and I can't understand howxto make a mp3 into a music tracker to import into a demo maker without destroyig the song by making it mido file fiirst basicay then loading it into a tracker and making a chiptune track out of it it's probablycto complex bei g mp3 to run in trackers being as it would be multi layered with around 10+ instruments then.

I don't quite understand what you want to do, which application do you use to create demoscenes on Windows? can you put the link?

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=5853]@AMIGASYSTEM - JumpingKiwi, Windows executables cannot run on AROS, just as they do not run on MAC or other OS, unless there is an interpreter such as Wine on Linuz, Prottrekker is installed on AROS One, but there are other Players that handle the most common audio formats, an example can be found in the Extras:MusicFile folder, each format is associated with the correct Player.[/quote] The right question is how do I make a demoscene without coding for AROS to play using Windows then please? Looking at it it's complex to produce them I might just stick to video but that's not something I'm publishing on places like YouTube they weee meant to be published for Amiga users this is why I was aiming for a demoscene which I had created with a simole background art and floating text in the windoes tool only it's giving media tracker options so I now presume it doesn't do actual mp3 rather the extension files of these trackers listed to choose from it's expectingctheir formats to then implant into it not a real song. So another idea is firstly finding a way to not oblittorate a mp3 and converting itcto compatible tracker format for old skool demoscene maker for Windows if that is even possible now?

What can't you find? If you have installed AROS One v2.5, just run the "Network" Prefs application located in the SYS:Prefs path. If you have installed older versions of AROS One it is normal that "Tethering USB" is not present in "Network" Prefs

[quote name=kantraa post=5850] Hello Nigel. Sorry for the very late response - I completely forgot about this thread. None of these are in my UEFI. Thanks, ~ kantraa[/quote] Hi Kantra, BIOS options vary so much between machines... What options do you have? Also, does the machine have an internal optical drive and if so have you tried booting from a live CD ot DVD? I've had machines which refuse to boot from a USB pendrive image but would respond to an optical disc. Cheers, Nigel.

So in windows I've made a demo scene clip with old skool demo scene maker but the thing is saying exe format that's a windows executable or can this be launched in AROS ONE please? I've made some somgs to now pin to this scene layout and just wanted to make more and publish them they are all made from scratch splicing samlles together all legal of course. The problem is the media tab gives loads of things like protrekkr etc for the song but I don't understand why it's dumping an exe as the finished exported file and that it has no playable audio can't you just go .mp3 for the song instead of allxthese tracker things etc as I cannot understand what I a. doing. I will try prottrekker as the audio as I believe it is included in AROS then try to open it in wimdows with that installed first.

[quote name=ntromans post=5772]@ntromans - [quote name=kantraa post=5740] Hello Nigel. I have not tried altering the UEFI options simply because I do not know what to alter that would be relevant. What settings did you change? Even if it doesn't work I can maybe still use it as a starting point. Thanks, ~ kantraa[/quote] Hi Kantraa, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The settings which seem to make a difference are: Boot mode - UEFI Hybrid (with CSM) CD-Rom boot active (I installed from the live DVD) USB kegacy support not enabled SATA devive mode AHCI Hope this is of some help, Nigel.[/quote] Hello Nigel.

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=5830]@AMIGASYSTEM - It is not important to have a WiFi or LAN connection to connect to the Internet, you can connect the AROS One with "all phones" via "USB Tethering". With the USB Tethering connection, no identification is required, no network name needs to be set, no user name or password is required. By default, AROS One is already set up for "USB Tethering" connection, see screenshot !

Jumpingkiwi on my site there is a list of hardware I have tried

[quote name=ntromans post=5831]@ntromans - Hi JumpingKiwi, For wifi cards there's not a lot of choice; for mini-pcie it must be compatable with the Atheros5000.device (I have an AR242x device) or for a USB dongle it's Netgear WG111v3 (compatable with realtek8180.device). I'm afraid for both it's a case of hunting them down on ebay. To set up the network, go to Prefs and open 'Network'. On the IPV4 Configuration tab set device and network details and on on the Wireless Networks tab set the details for your wifi - plese see attached screen-shots (although you'll probably want to select 'Start network during sustem boot'; I start mine manually as it makes it easdier to get on to my employer's wifi). Cheers, Nigel. P.S. if you're collecting detals of compatable machines, the Samsung n130 is fully compatable including wired network (although as noted above you would need to source compatable harware for wifi).[/quote] Thank you ntromans for the help with where to find the settings for connecting wifi cards and wired internet adaptors etc I'd be lost without it, I will have a look a little later just watching a movie when it's finished I'll try to connect wuth that wifi card I have to see if it finds anything to join it probably won't work from what you told us about needing certain wifi adaptors but I will definitely try the pci one I have again now and a cheap usb one I have somewhere if I can find it I will see if that might also wor, thanks for the help.

ToshibacSatellite P770/P775 Geforce GT 540m graphics Tested only in demoscene playback Will only work boot into VESA video modes appears to be extremely fast sound works but the media touch control bar does not. This has to be loaded via a cross flash from a fully working system for this I used the hard drive pre built and running fine fron the: D945GSEJT intel motherboard I got some errors trying to use the search tpol after which I had to reboot because it would linger in the menu bar area indefinitely and hard drive read errors were occuring which I'd argue is a hard drive defect but being as it works well on everything else I cannot say that it is and do doubt that it could just be soem apps causing issues here when utilizing specific apps and or parts of the file system. It's something only in depth playing with it will answer fully.
