10MARC EP147a - an update from EP 147

 Just a quick update to my last video on the AMigaOS 3.2.2 update - we discovered that the Textedit and Iconedit and possibly other programs would run slow and use a huge amount of CPU cycles, making them nearly useless on 680-00 based machines. Our friend Kevin Brice was on the case, though... and he discovered the culprit!

It appears that layout.gadget in SYS:CLASSES/GADGETS was accidently coded to run on an Intel i9 or something... but copying this file from a AmigaOS 3.2.1 install, or backing your coppy up and replacing it after the upgrade seems to fix the issue! The dev team is aware of this now, and probably will have a permanent fix soon, but this seems to work just dandy!

Big thanks to Kevin for finding the issue!

Amiga OS 3.2.2 Upgrade - Is it worth it? - Episode 147

This week on 10 Minute Amiga retro Cast  @10MARC  I am covering the new update for Amiga OS. This update fixes a few bugs and possibly introduces a few more. Is it worth it? You bet!
