I have been notified by retrofaza of some problems with 3 Games included in AROS One, these Games are part of the Contrib package, and for some reason have not been recompiled correctly in the latest version of the Contrib package.

The games in question are LBreakout2, Soliton/Freecell and NewMasterMind, for "LBreakout2" I recovered the previous version that works fine, for "Soliton/Freecell" instead I managed to find a newer version on Aros Archive, where I totally renewed the graphics, new backgrounds and Card Sets in high resolution in HQ PNG format (see screenshot), the originals were low resolution native Amiga IFF, also the MOS and OS4 version. 1 have the old IFF format Card Sets.

On Soliton, I have also created 3 Scripts that allow you to change the background and Card Sets of the game on the fly, and added more Catalogs.

Concerning NewMasterMind actually there was no Crash, in the recompiled version of the Contrib the data was missing in the Icon Tooltypes, place where the game saves the configuration, not being able to save the configuration crashed the game.

At the request of a RasVoja and with the permission of the developer I ported the "Crystal" native OS 4.1 skin to AROS One.

The covering has been done manually Pixel by Pixel with the addition of some MUI/Zune Gadgets not present in the theme, the only particular change has been done on the window bar, eliminated the round part because Wanderer doesn't support transparencies yet at least on VESA screens, I didn't have the world to test them on a PC with well supported native Video Card.

Crystal can be set automatically by simply clicking on the appropriate Icon via scripts in Prefs in the 'Themes' folder. As with the other 35 Themes available on AROS One, the scripts will also install the Background and Pointer el MUI/Zune Preferences (App windows).

If instead you want to install only the Windows Theme you can use either the "Appearance" App, or "ThemePrefs", the latter allows you to preview the themes, with these 2 Apps you can also see and install other extra Themes available on AROS One

For Italian users, but probably also for Spanish users, I have manually created a set of Italian Cards in good quality, in particular the 'Neapolitan Cards'.

In Italy each region has a different pack of cards, but the Neapolitan ones are the most well-known and used not only in Italy but also in many countries where there is an Italian community.

New Theme created for AROS One name "ArosOne-BlueWave", see screenshot !

From AROS One 2.7 (soon to be released) USB images will be created on 8GB Pendrives, by now AROS One with included 'Development' software has exceeded 3.7 GB space no longer supported by 4GB PenDrives.

On the positive side, the user can now add data to the pendrive, perhaps to test software or games.

AROS One 2.7 fails to boot on recommended ASUS motherboards

Are you sure you didn't mess up the files?

As far as I can see, at least the kernel file is from the test build 20221221-D01 ....

Please, check it calmly again.

I have a deck of cards very similar to that. They are Spanish Cards from Barcelona. I lived there for about one year 40 years ago. Wow! Was it that long ago? I'm getting to be an old dude. :-)

Italy in the Middle Ages was dominated by the French and the Spanish, and it is very easy to find things in common with these two countries.

Italy is the country that has the most dialects in the world, about 30 types that include words from these countries, as mentioned also the Playing Cards are many, one for each region:

Thanks for the big update, downloading.
Thanks for including Crystal theme by DJ Nick, hope boot sounds are included, if possible, and that it will make AROS more Amiga(OS) like, visually

Conratulations, and thank you for for the many hours of work which have gone into this release :-)

Cheers,
Nigel.

If you want to use the 'Boot Sounds' from Crystal theme by DJ Nick, the simplest method is to rename 'djnick-AmigaOS-boot1.wav' to 'IntroSound.wav' and copy it to this path

Prefs/Presets/BootSounds/

Of course you will have to rename or delete my "IntroSound.wav"

Do you still have version 2.6 ?

I can't get AROS One v2.7 to boot from DVD.

What problems do you have booting the DVD, if it depends on your player or badly burned DVD, you will probably have the same problem with Aros One 2.6 !

Why don't you use the USB image to install AROS One 2.7 ?

I used the DVD method to successfully install AROS One x86 v2.7 on a spare SSD for testing my programs, utilities and Datatypes compiled with the newest ABIv0 Build System. Thanks for the great work you have done with AROS One!

Do you have any recommended settings for installing on VirtualBox? Or is there a video of it?

The video is on the AROS One home page, it is a bit old, I made a small video with a newer version of VirtualBox, there are only the initial stages, but it should be enough to understand how to install, I attach small video !

If you want to use Magellan on AROS One I can send you a small update that will install Magellan on AROS One, Magellan is already pre-configured to recognise many file formats.

https://youtu.be/...

As mentioned on the next AROS One there will also be Dopus5 Magellan which like Dopus4 to use it just click on its Icon, path SYS:Tools

Improved configurations of both Dopus4 and Dopus5 Magellan, both have the same configuration and both will be able to recognise any file even if it has no extension.

Dopus4 can now also display TXT and exe files, in the same way as Dopus4 OS3 version, thus solving the problem mentioned some time ago HERE

For those who prefer Magellan, from the next version of AROS One, Magellan can not only be run from Wanderer, but can also be started autonomously.

In practice, there is no difference between the two modes; Magellan still makes use of Wanderer preferences even when started autonomously.

In practice, when Magellan displays a file in "Icon" mode, it will use Wanderer's settings, whereas if Magellan is used in "Detail" mode, it will use its own settings.

Example, if a Music, Graphic or Video etc file is clicked in "Icon" mode, the file will be executed by the default tool in Wanderer's Def_Icon

If on the other hand you click on the same File, but in "Detail" mode, then the tool set to Magellan will display the file.

Also in "Detail" on Magellan you will be able to see "All Archives" supported by AROS One, as if they were normal folders, just click on the archive file LHA, LZX, ZIP, RAR, 7Zip, bz2 etc... to turn it into a normal folder.

This function is also available on Dopus4, but only on the Amiga version, on the AROS x86 version it is unfortunately not available.

In addition, LHA and ZIP archives can be created on Magellan with a simple click

A few demonstration videos on what is described will follow.

Improved Magellan configuration, same configuration as Dopus4, recreated all buttons and changed the icons to AROS One style!

I enclose a good quality Video created by a Polish user, showing the installation of AROS One 2.7 in Native mode on a Desktop Computer with Graphics, Sound and Network Card support.

I thank this user for the nice video created!

Updated the ZuneARC Config file, now you can easily create LHA, LZH, ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR archives, you can also extract entire Archives or just single or multiple files.

For those unfamiliar with ZuneARC an Exhaustive Video will follow showing how to use the mentioned functions!

Of course the same functions can be obtained on AROS One 64Bit v11
