@AMIGASYSTEM - Hi welcome to this, where are you from?
Actually if the ISO starts from VM it means that the bootloader is correct, probably your PC is not supported at Hardware level, have you checked HERE.
If you forward your software to aros archive, they will be already available from the "Uploads" tab anyway, as soon as possible I would like to test them on AROS One, thanks
Hi AMIGASYSTEM, I'm from italy, I'll check HCL thanks!
I've uploaded scummvm-1.9.0 and residualvm-0.3.1 to aros archives if you want to test them

Hello and welcome! It is always good to see a fellow software developer joining our community.
With regards to the hardware problem you mention, first it make sense to check the link that @AMIGASYSTEM posted to see if your hardware does not need some additional parameters with newer versions of AROS. Additionally at top of that page you have a list of recommended hardware which is quite cheap and possibly you'd need only to swap out motherboard.
With the hardware you have, there are a few options you can try:
1) using the default grub menu item, edit it and add "bootmenu" to kernel parameters list. Does the bootmenu start? If yes, do you see your cdrom and harddrive in it?
2) try adding noapci kernel parameter in grub, often ACPI support for older hardware is problematic
Also please share what motherboard you have and whether your CDROM is IDE or SATA.
Hi Deadwood,
unfortunately I'm a linux/windows system engineer not a software developer, the most "serious" programming language I've used was Turbo Pascal at school (and bash scripting doesn't make me a software developer)

I try to compile things debugging with my limited experience and *a lot* of google searches
I've tested latest build also with a core2quad and nothing, it will not boot even with bootmenu and/or noapic but Icaros desktop just works, so I think I'll double check the iso, I will also try AROS One and TinyAROS aside from the "official" base builds
On AthlonXP there's only IDE
On core2quad I've IDE and SATA, CDROM is SATA
Core2quad has a GA-P35-DS3 motherboard
Tomorrow I'll check AthlonXP one

@miker1264 - Also, if you compile GitHub sources for vanilla AROS that is considered the "core" system. It only has the basic system files.
It's better to use a distro such as AROS One x86 or even Icaros Desktop although it is based on older systems files. Tiny AROS is another one. The distros such as AROS One x86 are full of preloaded and preconfigured software. I like AROS One x86 because "it just works". Especially the sound and datatypes and themes are well done. The def_icons and descriptors are also well done. On supported hardware it just works.
Hi miker1264,
I'll try them all
Thanks for the help and the warm welcome!
