No, leave the default 8 GB, it's dynamic; the size isn't fixed. VMware adjusts the size based on the data stored.

That was a very fast installation!

I'm very satisfied with how responsive AROS One 64bit is.

Now I can compile & test my MUI applications on 64bit.

Targa Datatype 64bit is working.

The new Stable Build 2026.09 was released today, so we can now begin building the new AROS One 1.4.

There will be many new features; in addition to the Core update, there will be a lot of software, including some I’ve developed myself.

Given the many new games and ports, to avoid creating an AROS One distribution that is too large and slow to install, I have decided to remove the games from AROS One and release them separately as AROS One Games v1.4, which in the future could become a standalone, self-booting distribution with a basic mini OS..

Important !!!!!

Do not update AROS One 64-Bit v11 with the new Build 2026.09, otherwise AROS One will not boot.

Essentially, parts of GRUB have been changed and updated. If you really want to update it with this build, do not copy the Boot/Grub folder; doing so will allow it to boot, but there is a risk of ending up with duplicate system files.

My advice for updating AROS One to 2026.09 is:

- Wait for the new version of AROS One 64-bit based on this new Build 2026.09; this will be available in a few weeks or sooner, depending on when I finish testing some of my new software that’s currently in development.

- Alternatively, there is Build 20250418-1-U4, an update package that upgrades AROS One 64-bit version 20250418-1 to version 2026.09. This package does not include the GRUB update.

When do you think you are going to release version 1.4?

Stay tuned there's a lot of new stuff coming. I'm running numerous tests to minimize any imperfections as much as possible.

New features for AROS One: the old WeatherBar app has been updated and is now transparent, with the option to change the background color. The GUI can now be positioned either horizontally or vertically.
The menu includes an option to restore the original GUI, which allows you to move and save its position. Finally, the GUI can be hidden.

FlexCat-GUI what’s new in this version 1.4:
Save to LOCALE:Catalogs/<language>: the language is read from the ## language line in the .ct file. If this is missing, the name of the .ct file is used (for example, italiano.ct gives ‘italiano’). Folders are created if they do not exist.

Batch: compiles all .ct files in the folder containing the selected .CT file. Each catalogue goes into a subfolder named after the language, within the output folder (or within LOCALE:Catalogs if the option above is enabled). At the end, a summary appears showing the generated catalogues and any errors.

C Header: generates <name>_strings.h using the specified .SD file (by default C_h.sd). In batch mode, it creates this only once.
New .ct from .cd (NEWCTFILE): with an empty .CT file, it creates <name>.ct. With a .CT file already specified, it creates <name>_new.ct, so as not to overwrite your original file. Switches: NOOPTIM, QUIET, FILL, NOBEEP.

Drag & drop: you can drag .cd, .ct or .sd files, or a folder (which becomes the output), onto the window.

Log window: displays the command executed, the flexcat output and the return code (RC), via T:FlexCatGUI.log. This should be very helpful in understanding errors in the .ct files.

Persistence: options and .SD files are saved in the configuration file.
‘Save to LOCALE:Catalogs/<language>’ Options pane: Subfolder: a menu with ---, System/C, System/Classes, System/Devs, System/Libs, System/Prefs, System/System, System/Tools and System/Utilities. With , the behaviour is as before, suitable for third-party apps

In the coming stable build 2026.09/AROS One 1.4 will there be updates for ahi.device/audio section?

Yes, there will be the new ahi.device file that Farox provided me with, and the midi.datatypes file that I compiled myself.

Basically, I've ported Homeworld (first version) and everything is fine except occasionally it freezes completely my PC and a couple of times I saw the typical dialog that indicates a fatal error in ahi.device...

If you’d like to try out the updated version of Farox’s AHI, you’ll find it attached here:

I'll try it as soon as possible, cheers.
