1 month agoThe 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..
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.

1 month agoNo, leave the default 8 GB, it's dynamic; the size isn't fixed. VMware adjusts the size based on the data stored.
Thanks for the information.
I'm running out of storage space on my VMWare computer. I only have 30GB left. I suppose I can allocate 4GB RAM and 15GB for AROS HDD?
I will add a new m.2 SATA SSD to add more space for programming.

1 month agoMuch simpler and more functional than VirtualBox, you just need to configure the following:
Select Guest Operating System
- Other
- Other 64-Bit
Customize Hardware
- Minimum RAM: 6 GB
- Add USB Controller 1.1
- Add Floppy Drive (Do not connect at power-on)
Leave the other options at their default settings; you don't need to change anything.

I'm downloading and installing AROS One x86-64 in VMWare Workstation Pro.
Mostly I'll be using it on a regular basis for compiling and testing software.
Are there any special VMWare settings or instructions about setting up a VM
for use with AROS One? I'm downloading v1.3 as a ISO if that helps any.

Hi
I made a typing mistake, the system installed is: AROS One x64 v1.3

2 months agoDerek, have you tried a different build? Maybe the problem isn't with AROS One but with AROS in general, or maybe the issue has been fixed in the updated builds.
Hi,
I have some strange behaviour on my HP T630 with AROS One x64 v2.3 installed.
All works perfectly connecting to the Internet and Samba share by Ethernet.
I have a USB Joystick controller, connected to the system and all games work great with the Joystick Controller.
If I leave the Joystick connected to the front USB connector and power up the T630, the HP bios loads and proceeds to load AROS, but hangs at a blank screen.
If I disconnect the Joystick from the USB connector the T630 boots up okay.
I have disabled all USB boot devices in the HP BIOS. It looks like AROS is trying to boot from the USB.
So I connect the Joystick after AROS has booted up.

2 months agoThe new 64-bit ArosOne v1.4 will be released in September when the new stable build of Deadwood becomes available
is possible to test an arosone beta 64bit 1.4? for me impossibile use aros development version of deadwood.
Hi,
I changed the noacpi to acpi=strict
Did you write noioapic or noioacpi?
Hi deadwood,
I tried noioacpi, and no change, so I reerched the ACPI interface and changed the nopcpi to acpi=strict and the system booted up with full stereo sound.
I check the AHI preferences and the Musci Unit is mapped to: hdaudio: HIFI 16 bit stero++
Sound OK to me.
Thank you for the help.

Hi
I have just found a little problem with AROS One x64 v1.3, on the HP T630 Thin Cient.
To get the system to boot up, I have have to insert the 'noacpi' command in the ATA section of the grub menu.
But once booted up there is no sound from the Internal Speaker, or Headphone socket to my Stereo Speakers.
How can I enable the sound without removing the noacpi command?
Hi AMIGASYSTEM,
I have followed your guide and connected to my Samba Server via Ethernet on the HP T630.
I copied the SMB2-Start to WBStartup and the Samba Share is mounted on powerup.
Thank you for the help.

3 months agoYou must not use SMB0 in Network Preferences; that method doesn't work. As mentioned, you must use SMB2.
- Delete all network preferences and the SMB0 driver
- Create the Mountlist (DOSDrivers SMB2) manually; you don't need anything else—smb2-handler and filesysbox.library are already installed on AROS One.
- Use my Mountlist as a guide, and create your own DOS Drivers SMB2
- Copy DOS Drivers SMB2 to Storage/DOSDrivers
- In Storage/DOSDrivers, you’ll also find my SMB2.info icon
- In Extras/Internet/SMB2, you’ll find the SMB2-Start and SMB2-Dismount scripts
- Copy SMB2-Start to WBStartup
- This way, the SMB2 mount will happen automatically on every reboot
If the mount fails, you can unmount the incorrect DOS driver using SMB2-Dismount; once that’s done, you can run SMB2-Start to mount it again
I’ve attached a screenshot showing what I’ve described—it’s easier to do than to explain!

Hi AMIGASYSTEM
I have shared my Linux PC Ethernet connection with AROS x64 computer, which the Internet browsing by OWB is alot faster than with USB Tethering to a mobile phone.
I am still trying to get Smaba to connect to the Samba Server.
I entered the Samba details into the Mounted Shared tab in the Network Preferences, as I could not see a SMB2-GUI programme to setup the SMB2 connection.
The SMB mountlist is:
Control = "USER=*"derek*" WORKGROUP=*"WORKGROUP*" PASSWORD=*"password*" SERVICE=*"//192.168.0.5/data*""
Which looks different to your mountlist above.
