There's very little public information about NGFS, but it's clear that it won't mount on my emulated #Amiga, not without an m68k port. 😭
Moreover, NGFS uses a new API called Vector-Port, which was introduced in dos.library 53.77... which is the PowerPC-only #AmigaOS 4.1:
https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaOS_VersionsYears ago, I saw an experimental fork of QEMU with PPC Amiga support... but I'm running out of time to fix the main exhibit of #PaCommEx before they start wrapping up the show 😭😭😭

...but under time pressure, I accidentally copy the corrupt library from the HD to the USB stick, making both unbootable! ☠️
It takes me some time to figure out how to get to the real #AmigaOS boot menu, where I can disable the Startup-Sequence to fix the system from the initial CLI.
You still have to hold both mouse buttons as usual, but the USB mouse I was using had a flaky right button! 🤦♂️

This is the last screenshot I took of #AmigaOS 4.1 FE running on the #A1222plus before wandering towards the other exhibits.
For someone who, like me, learned to code on the #Amiga, this would be a dream machine with upgraded hardware and tons of OS improvements.

I'm at Commodore Pacific Expo NW, in Seattle.
By the entrance, the last 4 issues of #AmigaFuture. The bundled CDs are inside. :amiga:

A 9 year old was typing BASIC commands on the Plus 4 next to me. I introduced him to the one-liner maze generator published in the original user manual of the Commodore 64:
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
Afterwards, he started modifying the code, trying different values to see what would happen... much like I did when I was about the same age 🥲

Robert Bernardo kindly provided a monitor and desk space to exhibit my 600 MHz PPC AmigaOS 4.1 running on the Sam440ex.

More pics from the first day of Commodore Pacific Expo.

It still works perfectly, and boots into AmigaOS 4.1.
Compared to a classic m68k Amiga, it feels blazingly fast: windows with soft shadows move smoothly on a high-resolution, true-color screen.

That's right! It's the Sam440ep, a rare PowerPC Amiga made by the Italian company ACube Systems!

I'm carrying a surprise exhibit for #PaCommEx... can you tell what it is?
