AROS One x86 v1.5 ISO DVD: Download

AROS One x86 v1.5 USB Flash: Download  (To burn the USB image we recommend using the software Rufus or Etcher)


AROS One x86 New version of my Distribution based on the new Core by Deadwood, among the novelties a USB Flash App to Create Live Pendrive, App created by Paolone that I thank and modified by me to make it compatible on AROS One.


AROS One is now also distributed in the "Pendrive Image" format, once this image is burned on a 4GB or larger Pendrive it will allow you to recreate a Live USB that can be booted on all supported PCs and consequently install AROS on HD without the need for a DVD.

-- Important --

I add an important note about the Live USB, as mentioned to burn the Pendrive Image of AROS One x86 you need a Pendrive of 4GB not smaller even if a little, but I strongly recommend to use a larger PenDrive so that you can have a partition exchange without the need to use a Virtual Machine.

Procedure:

Burn the Pendrive image with "Rufus" on a Pendrive larger than 4GB, finished burning you will find a Pendrive divided into two partitions, AROS One on the first partition and a second partition "not used".

At this point start a program that manages the partition and format this second partition "residual" in FAT32, after this the partition will be visible both from Windows and AROS available to share data between the two OS.

In the next version will be included a Pendrive Image with the partition in FAT32

I attach screenshot where the Wanderer and HDToolBox show the two partitions of the pendrive !

For the moment to download my Distro you need to log in with a Google account this is due to the fact that many are downloading it by exceeding the threshold of downloads available on Google Drive, those who do not have a Google account (rare because almost all of us have it on our cell phones) must wait 24 hours.

Another interesting operation carried out on my Aspire 5920, after creating the DualBoot  between AROS and Win10, i created a third Partition in FAT32, now the two Operating Systems have this Partition shared (see the two screenshots) and then you can exchange data.

I specify that AROS can also see the NTFS partition of Win10 but to do this I must enable "ntfs-handler" by default disabled on AROS because at the moment it is read-only.

Emulating with Qemu MorphOS I noticed that the AROS One DVD was not well managed by MOS, this was due to the lack of the Rock Ridge extension on the DVD that expands the ISO 9660 support for some file formats, extensions and long filenames.

Fixed the problem by recreating the AROS One ISO with the Rock Ridge extension added as originally for the Nightly Builds, now the AROS One DVD respects the standard ISO 9660/Rock Ridge format and is compatible with all O3, OS4, MOS and AROS.

As reported by users in addition to Rufus, To "Burn" the AROS One USB image to any USB device you can also use the software Etcher.

As already mentioned use Pendrive or HD larger than 4GB, doing this with the residual you can create a partition in FAT32 that can be used normally on Windows (the AROS partition will not be shown) but also as an exchange volume on AROS One that instead sees and manages both partitions.

Completed 2 new skins for AROS x86 but are also compatible with AROD One 68k.

The 2 skins have the same style one recalls the style of the transparent bar of Amistart

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Also brought to AROS One x86 Background and windows Skin Red Purple.

In work in progress Dackground and Skin Green 

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Finished another Theme/Skin with Green coloring, the screenshot does not show the right quality

On my report ALB42 has fixed the application AYA (AskYourAmiga) for AROS x86, and is already available the new fixed version for AROS X86.

AYA on AROS x86 did not show the graphics in the program window, now with v06 everything works regularly, see screenshot

Still some update and improvement of my distro, almost ready the new version of AROS One x86 v1.6 ABIv0

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Doing some testing on AROS One x86 I found that if you set spoffing to " Firefox 3.x" the videos are faster.
 Spoffing with iPads and iPhones is also faster.

Too bad the internal video player of OWB can't save videos like OWB MOS version (tested in emulation).

I attach video test, consider that in the test I use an old VMware on an obsolete DualCore

In preparation a new novelty for my AROS One, it is a series of scripts that allow you to change a complete AROS Theme, aka replacement of the Background (Wanderer), GUI (Zune), GUI Windows (Appearance), Pointer and Amstart Transparency Tint (x86 only), but you could also add Fonts Windows and Icons and System all with a simple click followed by a system restart.

Of course the news concerns both AROS One both the x86 and 68k version.

I enclose a small video (now works) that shows the procedure of changing the theme ArosOne-Grey => AroOneXP
