Re: Aros

Try mounting a USB flash drive in AROS to share files. If it mounts in Linux before AROS, just unmount the drive from Linux without removing the flash drive, then go into the USB preferences in VirtualBox and mount it there. To get the flash drive to remount in Linux, unmount it from VirtualBox, rem...

Re: Advanced RapaGUI techniques

Major BUGFIX! I just rediscovered that table keys assigned with strings are case sensitive while method names are always forced lowercase by Hollywood. The load routine in RapaEdit fell prey to this one because it strips out the methods from the save buffer table before serialization and adds them ...

Re: Compiled SongPlayer can not read mp3 files

Try adding the AVCodec plugin. Some platforms require it to play MP3 format.

Re: Activate a text entry widget

Have you considered using a page gadget to switch to an identical text entry gadget? That way the second gadget could validate numbers only instead of trying to do it with one gadget. :idea:

Re: HaveItem()

In conjunction with "does", the question remains: "Does LolCat have a cheeseburger?" Andreas is right in this context. A valid response would be: "LolCat has a cheeseburger." If you want to look crosseyed at weird sentence structure based on texting abbreviations, I'd r...

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 is out!

That's cool! I use the x86-64 version on my regular everyday big box. I like Manjaro and maybe you will too. The only thing that bugs me is when third-party, closed-source or partial open-source versions of software like Chrome appear with only Debian packages and no others. Even a FlatPack or Snaps...

Then you can pass the bitmap structure to CreateRastPort() with a flag to keep it from generating the copper instructions....

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 is out!

I use Manjaro ARM on my PineBook Pro but its SBC counterpart is the RockPro64, not the RasPi4 series. Manjaro only supports 64 bit architectures AFAIK.
