Amiga X5000 Maintenance and Upgrade 2022

Since 2017 my AmigaOne X5000 has been running with the same Gelid Silent 6 Fan. Since a few days, that Silent became Noisy so it was time to replace the fan. I already bought two new Silent 6 fans just in case a thing like this would happen. I also had a MSI RX 570 4GB card ready to replace the R7 250 card the X5000 came shipped with. With the RX series we can use the GPU for hardware decoding things like movies to ofload the CPU.

SUCCESS!! 🙂

NovaBridge on AmigaOS4 demo by Kas1e

NovaBridge is a layer between old Warp3D/MiniGL apps and Warp3DNova. So all applications written for old Warp3D and MiniGL works on Warp3DNova based cards such as Radeon HD and Radeon RX. With the help of ReWarp and ReWarp3DPPC libraries, you can run even applications from the old PPC era for example such as WiperOUT2097, Heretic2, demos from MadWizzards, and Encore, etc.

Amiga OS4 Graphics driver update.

Radeon Graphics: The Move To PolarisFebruary 3, 2018

Over the last few years, AmigaDeveloper.com Team member Hans De Ruiter has been working steadfastly on keeping the Enhancer Software in pace with the hardware developments of AMD’s latest Radeon graphics cards.Since the first Enhancer Software release in 2016, there have been fourteen updates to the RadeonHD driver. The driver has been expanded to support the exciting Warp3D Nova system and to be compatible with many more Radeon graphics cards running the Oland chipset.AMD are continually updating the range of cards available and using newer more advanced chipsets. To keep the Enhancer Software in pace of AMD’s advancements, we have had to significantly invest in more development.In retail channels of late, the Southern Islands cards are now no longer available with the exception of Oland based R7 240 variants. Such is the relentless march of technology in the wider computing world that the AmigaDeveloper.com team need to keep afoot of.
