- AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9 still rely on the Amiga Kickstart 3.1 ROMs which is where most of the code lives that handles the bits you're asking about (memory management, etc). The OS could have included patches to the ROM, but I am not aware of anything significant (certainly no virtual memory support).
- OS 3.9: Boing Bag. March 2002: H&P is proud to announce the availability of Boing Bag 2 for AmigaOS 3.9. Running AmigaOS 4.1 During the five years of development, purchasers of machines could download pre-release versions of AmigaOS 4.0 from Hyperion's repository as long as these were made available.
- Note 2018 03 10: SFSFormat command is a “quick format” one. You can also use the “Format” option of Amiga OS 3.9 if you want a complete format.
Amiga Os 3.9 Install
Did all your screenmodes disappear when you installed OS 3.9 Boing Bag 2? If so this is the same error that happened a few months back when a newer version of BlizKick was released. The problem is related to a version check of exec.library. Newer exec versions (> v40) cause problems when scanning the display database for cgxsystem.library less than version 42.6. Any exec.library patch or hack with a version > v40 runs into this problem. You will need cgxsystem.library 42.7 or higher. This can be found in the CGX 4.2pre11 or later release (found at http://vgr.com/v4/) for normal Amiga graphics card users, or G-Rex PCI card users can use the CGX V4.3beta R3 for G-Rex archive (found at http://vgr.com/g-rex/#software).
AmigaOS 3.9 BoingBag #4 version 0.2b NO WARRANTIES: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! The unofficial BoingBag 4 project is a community effort that is pursuing the considerable task of upgrading, enhancing and bugfixing AmigaOS 3.9. This is a preliminary release. It is anticipated that further updates will be developed and incorporated before the. Updating the kickstart when running Amiga OS 3.9 is performed by the tool SetPatch that is called at the very beginning of the Amiga startup sequence ( S:startup-sequence ). When SetPatch runs, it substitutes some ROM modules with updated ROM modules from Amiga OS 3.9. Commonly, when an accelerator is present that allows mapping.
Note that you can use AmigaOS 3.9 and Boing Bag 3.9-2, but do not install the new ROM Update...or simply replace the 'SetPatch' line in your Startup-sequence with:
Amiga Os 3.9 Adf
SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES 'exec.library'
Amiga Os 3.9 Iso
or
SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES 'exec.library,scsi.device'
(when you have IDE-Fix) ...again, it's all documented.
SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES 'exec.library'
