- Q: How much is it?
-
-
- A: It's free!
-
- Q: What are the system requirements?
-
-
- A: Basically AmigaAMP runs fine on any stock Amiga with at least a 68030-50 MHz
- processor. However, if you want to be able to play Layer3 without downsampling
- and quality loss you need at least a 68060-50. Be prepared to face heavy system
- load! :-) If you've got a PowerPC you can play Layer3 streams in the background
- without noticeable system slowdown at all. For the NewGUI (WinAMP lookalike)
- modes a graphics card is a must! The GadTools interface works well on the
- legacy ECS/AGA display modes though.
-
- Q: I can't get the spectrum analyzer to work. Why?
-
-
- A: The spectrum analyzer needs AmigaOS 3.1 and PowerUP to run. If one of the
- two is missing it will be simply switched off. If you don't have 3.1 by now,
- rush to the nearest shop and buy it! :-)
-
- Q: How can I use the WinAMP skins?
-
-
- A: All the texture sets reside in a subdirectory called skins relatively to the
- place where you've installed the AmigaAMP executable. If you're starting
- AmigaAMP from the commandline just add the keyword NewGUI. If you're running it
- from Workbench, just add the keyword NEWGUI to the icon's tooltypes.
-
- Q: Do I have to convert the skins first?
-
-
- A: No. Each skin consists of several Windows BMP pictures. If you have a
- datatype installed that can handle those, there's no need to convert them. If
- you're in doubt you can try loading the pictures into MultiView. If it fails
- you'll have to find another datatype or convert the pictures to IFF.
-
- Q: It seems to be playing but I can't hear anything!
-
-
- A: Probably you've chosen the wrong AHI driver. Start the AHI preferences and
- load Paula/ahi.prefs from the AmigaAMP directory by selecting Project->Open. If
- you're a Prelude owner try Prelude/ahi.prefs instead. Alternatively you can
- copy the config file directly to ENVARC:sys/ahi.prefs and reboot your machine.
- Have a look at the manual about how to choose the correct driver. Due to
- limitations of some AHI modes you can't always turn the volume slider higher
- than 0dB!
