Hi Vampires, so remember the early V4BL with lots of PFS-write-errors and >24hour install time for Coffin?

Just for fun I made a small video of upcoming V4BL Release V2.6 with extended UAE support for Turbo Preloading your 64GB of 128GB image.

Last week I rewrote all the installer scripts for Turbo preloading, so now you can do 100% of the preparation on emulator (UAE).

With the “Install ALL” button ALL 9 OS-es (AOS133, AOS31, AOS39, AOS314, AROS-Base, AROS-Vision, AmiKit-XE, Coffin and ApollOS) are installed handsfree within a record time < 1,5 hours!

Hi Willem,

I really appreciate what you're doing with V4BL. Is there some way I can tip you, or support you in some way?

Would it be possible to include a UAE config file with V2.6? Possibly with a supporting document identifying file names and paths?
I know I would benefit from this for the turbo preload.

Thanks

Mick

Mick,

The new 2.6 install SD does include a UAE config file in a UAE folder. I'd recommend copying or doing a "Save As" after loading it into WinUAE so you can make changes and have them 'stick' between uses.

Oh I didn't know v2.6 was released already. I see stuff on the Google Drive. Cool! Thanks again for the awesome work Willem!

Really looking forward to this release. I'll have a look at the Install SD. Thanks for the tip.
