Finally, when the channel is updated, this video is great, Bill. I am an Amiga enthusiast from China (few people in Asia know about Commodore Amiga and its history, and there is almost no information in Chinese), and I am still waiting for my AOS3.2 CD to be shipped to my home. This new operating system is the biggest upgrade since AmigaOS 3.0. The core improvements of the system far exceed Commodore's 3.1 and H&P's 3.5/3.9. My interest in Amiga has been ignited again.

How many platforms you know to have passed through deep s**t, and still, after almost 30 years, are struggling to get as up-to-dated as possible, even with apparently insignificant new features? This is a unique case in this hi-tech world, where a phone would cost over a thousand bucks and gets older after a month or two. I mean. Can you think about it? It is just purely incredible. Yet, we all, as mankind, can still learn something with this incredible Amiga: the lesson is that we don't need to run as fast as we can, but to care about what we really love. Thanks Amiga.

This is amazing! The developers did exactly what was needed. I have used AmigaOS 3.5 and AmigaOS 3.9 with all Boingbags. But there the update was without a system. There was a feeling that the developers just grabbed on to everything and changed based on what was possible. In AmigaOS 3.2, I see that the developers thought at first, then tried to implement new features so as to make the system usable and to make it look elegant.

Resizing from a border makes sense. I've seen new users on Amiga try to drag those. However, I think changing the behaviour of the titlebar was a bad choice, as you could too easily resize a window by mistake when you wanted to move it. (which I've done numerous times on Windows ...)

Amigabill, i recently dug out my old a1200, whitened all the keys, cleaned up the case, ordered a gotek with oled display, 3.2 roms and o.s. but cant find my mouse, so advice what 3 button mice do you know to work with all 3 buttons in 3.2 natively, i noticed you using one in this video ?

02:19 What USB/DB9 adapter do you use and is your mouse a USB- or USB/PS2 mouse? I tried scroll wheel with some older USB-only Logitech gaming mouses (mice? ^^) and Microsoft Intellimouse Optical (PS2 and USB) using a mouSTer adapter. No success! And yes, I did mark the "Scroll Wheel Enabled" option in IControl! 🤔

How do you get the scroll wheel to work, does it not need a special adapter that goes into both the mouse and joystick port at same time ?

It seems my fancy dual gamepad/mouse usb adapter doesn't support scroll wheel and now I'm crying into my beer. It probably doesn't address whatever pin is used for the wheel. I think I have a Tom+ laying around somewhere. Maybe that'll work. Anyway, great video!

I've run out of ideas to make the sound work. Is something interfering with AHI? Songplayer gives a fail with song player.aub with Snoopdos.I cannot figure this out. I even installed 3.2 over the working 3.9 and still sound was absent. So it's not a configuration. Any ideas? I notice the 3.2.1 Med report says 3 pci boards where the 3.9 lists 4. My Radeon and intercard work however. Do you get sound with Paula with 3.2. I notice no AHI is included. Thanks.

I was up late last night getting winuae working and I'm really curious why you're running 3.2 in a window on top of 1.3. Maybe it's been explained before, but it seems a tad bit inefficient.

got 3.2, does anyone else have issues with wb3.2 and toolmanager2? it runs successfully, no errors, but no menu entries or docks are created, basically nothing there, it works but it doesnt at the same time.

hi please let me know if in 2021 the Amiga is able to do everything a PC or a Mac can do but 3D gaming. 1. I like to see if the Amiga is able to generate documents like .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, . ppt, .psd, .mp3, .wav, .opus, .obj, .3DS Basically can an Amiga integrate into a working environment where PC and Mac are in use? 2. Also what about memory protection? For years the initial A500 and A1200 were plagged with the problem that any program writting into another program memory was creating a guru meditation. Is this now solved in 100% of situation? I mean if I run a 1982 demo coded with an org directive so running from a fixed static address in RAM will it trash the system RAM and require a reboot or will the system able to virtualise its memory address block so it don't touch other process memory? Thanks to let me know.
