AROS is under constant development since around 1995, and "ABI v0" refers to the initial design of AROS' "application binary interface". A parallel branch of development is ongoing, using an updated "application binary interface" called ABI v1. At the time of this writing, all current AROS distributions are based on AROS releases using ABI v0. Currently, ABI v1 has to be considered experimental, but at some point in the future will become the standard. </span><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Experimental: ABI v1 support<br /></h3><p>Currently, ABI v1 is probably more for the AROS system developer than the AROS user or application developer - but let's just start here, because it's the shorter story. </p><p>Booting from the AROS ABI v1 USB stick, and selecting "native graphics" driver in AROS' GRUB menu, none of the graphics hardware was recognized. AROS fell back to minimal "VGA:640x480" screen mode in 16 colors on all tested models. If you want to run AROS ABI v1 on your Eee PC you're better off using generic "VESA" driven screenmodes.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLtC6e3D7jPkWBLi81ckYd0Zj4sObkp5U3lz2zv1xS3QAGyBMG-J5FGZOE4W5GZUMf61JHJc0gMQOCtNeEO-lQjdlj1eEVEMv1ypO9YrcJsVW2UX7ZNV9Br1L6-drJOI9ffY4O_jQSHv_hdH4XiowYGawpLiQyGof_uyre7SiUGKAK3DPd50b8b7qt8OUh/s2048/20231003_eeepc-1005pe-222840.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLtC6e3D7jPkWBLi81ckYd0Zj4sObkp5U3lz2zv1xS3QAGyBMG-J5FGZOE4W5GZUMf61JHJc0gMQOCtNeEO-lQjdlj1eEVEMv1ypO9YrcJsVW2UX7ZNV9Br1L6-drJOI9ffY4O_jQSHv_hdH4XiowYGawpLiQyGof_uyre7SiUGKAK3DPd50b8b7qt8OUh/s320/20231003_eeepc-1005pe-222840.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">When AROS can't find suitable graphics hardware, it falls back to low-resolution 16 color VGA screenmode<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>VESA screen modes should work on all PC systems, and give full color depth, but lack hardware (2D/3D) acceleration and have fixed resolutions. Selecting "VESA:1024x768" screen mode in GRUB menu doesn't properly match an Eee PC's native display resolution, which results in "VESA:800x600" being used. This is consistent on most tested Eee PC models. The 4G/701 model uses "VESA:640x480" due to smaller display size. The 901 doesn't switch resolution, but displays 1024x768 with about 20 lines missing at the top, and much more at the bottom. The 1015PN seems to have slightly smarter VESA support, and switches to "VESA:1024x600", which perfectly matches the native resolution, giving correct display aspect. On all other tested Eee PC models VESA screens are stretched horizontally to fill the wide-screen display.

If in doubt, you can use VESA screenmodes on all Eee PC models (except maybe the 1000H), so you'll get pixels and colors in (pretty much) any case, albeit without fast 3D graphics, and probably horizontally stretched. The 1015PN is closer to being really good in this regard with its "VESA:1024x600" mode. The 901 is quite odd in VESA mode, as it doesn't scale or reject 1024x768 resolution, but just crops it to 1024x600. <br /></p><p>The typical AROS (ABI v0) user can enjoy fast 3D graphics, full color depth, and correct aspect ratio all at once with the native graphics drivers on the 4G/701, 901, and 1000H ASUS Eee PC models. (And possibly some others that haven't been tested here.) The ABI v1 branch still needs some work on native drivers - but you'll probably prefer ABI v0 anyway.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXZRqP_qJhI_yQeqJKQYYVsZT3wUxCSxV9Dg9kAS9osza8PhOTLfABeWIUJVDXYyccQXO-gm39OPWjcavJu7s894HLz6D_RP_zBt-mPISy6iuEUSiQoMxBgTFNgTLOwPl3gwftMTKkK8YDc05KFNaE47680n-gBhIZbqEkHcrvFBGIGB6WJnghiFrZX_W/s599/asus-eee-pc-graphics-support-matrix.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="233" data-original-width="599" height="124" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAXZRqP_qJhI_yQeqJKQYYVsZT3wUxCSxV9Dg9kAS9osza8PhOTLfABeWIUJVDXYyccQXO-gm39OPWjcavJu7s894HLz6D_RP_zBt-mPISy6iuEUSiQoMxBgTFNgTLOwPl3gwftMTKkK8YDc05KFNaE47680n-gBhIZbqEkHcrvFBGIGB6WJnghiFrZX_W/s320/asus-eee-pc-graphics-support-matrix.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">ASUS Eee PC AROS graphics driver compatibility test results</td></tr></tbody></table><p>You can find more AROS hardware information, including ASUS Eee PC, in the WikiBooks:<br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_Complete_System_HCL" target="_blank">https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_Complete_System_HCL</a><br /></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">* * *</p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>DISCLAIMER: This is not an instruction, and no official information.

<br />
Very nice, AROS One has been released in version 1.1. Even nicer: this time a m68k version has been added!<br />
<br />
Note that the m68k version is currently aimed at emulators and hasn't been tested on real hardware so far. Also it's supplied in form of a hardfile, which can't be used directly on a real Amiga.<br />
<br />
Tutorial videos and are provided, along with ROMs and WinUAE config file for the m68k version.<br />
<br />
Little is known about this distro so far, so maybe it's best you give it a try yourself!<br />

<b>Pretty much from out of nowhere a new AROS distro has popped up: "AROS One v1.0" by "Spadoni Carlo" / AMIGASYSTEM.</b><br />
<br />
"AROS One" is "Spadoni Carlo"'s personal AROS distribution, which he just made available to the public.<br />
<br />
It's based on AROS x86 ABIv0 latest nightly builds, comes with a custom icon set, a "AROS-for-Amiga" (AfA) style Wanderer setup, and is preconfigured for vmware virtual machine use. Installation on real hardware will require some adjustments, e.g. network interface.<br />

After the initial success of the Kickstarter project, the second phase - or "floor" as it's fittingly called - has been completed by releasing the AmigaNG-ports of the game. Congratulations, Pixwerk! <br />

"Tower 57" by Pixwerk (Marco "Benitosub" Pappalardo and Thomas "Cyangmou" Feichtmeir, Amiga ports by "Daytona-Daniel" Muessener) looks like a mixture of The Chaos Engine, Metal Slug, and Maniac Mansion. <br />

It has some interesting gameplay features, like swarms, spreading fire, and electricity. The environment is destructible, and destruction as well as debris and empty gun shell casings will remain permanently. Players can shoot in any direction while moving, and there's an emphasis on dual player cooperation.<br />

<br />
Bars'n'Pipes was and is still one of the best audio/MIDI sequencers for the Amiga computer. In 2001 the source code was handed over to Alfred Faust, who continued development on the Amiga platform until 2009. In 2010 a first port to AROS surfaced on aros-exec.org, and after some updates and then a long time of silence "hitchhikr" seems to have started to work on it again, and has published his latest efforts only yesterday. Great stuff!<br />
<br />
<br />
You can currently download the latest version here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://franck.charlet.pagesperso-orange.fr/bnp.i386-aros.zip">http://franck.charlet.pagesperso-orange.fr/bnp.i386-aros.zip</a><br />

<br />
ALB's
blog hosts the Freepascal compilers for AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS, some
other applications like Mapparium, GPSTool, and EdiSyn, and now he has
even added an online Pascal compiler for AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS.<br />
<br />
Via
a web interface, you can enter your Pascal code, choose
the destination platform, click "Compile", and download your executable
file.<br />
<br />
There are two versions of the online Freepascal
compiler: one for current browsers with full JavaScript, and one for
older browsers (IBrowse, etc.) using HTML only.<br />
<br />
Here's a video showing the online compiler in action:<br />

Now it looks as if it's time to give something back, as he seems to have run out of money, even threatening his facilities to keep working on AROS. Send him some money!<br />

<br />
Below picture shows AROS 68k running on Amiga Vampire 500+<br />
<br />
That could be a huge step forward for AROS, because with thousands of Vampire boards ordered or already sold, AROS now has a future-oriented platform where it truly belongs: inside an Amiga computer.<br />
