AES 3.4 into Tos 2.06/3.06

[tuxie]

There was long time ago a thread in the neighbour forum about modding the Tos2.06/3.06 with the Falcon AES. Does some know if there is a progress ? Or does someone know how we can do it ? Would be great to give the TT a facelift

I know the AES Code is available

Well the source is available for TOS 2.06/3.06 to build binary exact replicas. Can't be that difficult to replace the AES then?

If it wasn’t a joke in the Atari-Forum then it could be possible

Well there is _something_, but not released I think. Digging it out on the DHS bulletin board, which is where I saw it, is another matter ...

IIRC they were still working on video modes. But I could be completely wrong. Will ask in #atariscne ..

TOS 2.06 is in 256KB space, while 3.xx and 4.xx are in 512KB. So, I don't think that Falcon AES can fit in 2.06, or better said in 256 KB.
Of course, we can enlarge ROM space in ST machines, and even in STE ones, to 512KB, but that is not 'into 2.06' .

And I would ask for that Falcon AES code - where can I DL it ?

There really was such a modded tos available, i tested it, will see if i find it back.
But it wasn't finished.

I just can't believe that Falcon AES can fit in TOS 2.06 space - it is 512KB vs. 256KB total ROM space. I'm afraid that there is some mistake made by someone. Probably just some parts of Falcon AES, Desktop. As Gembench says "Don't believe everything you see"

There is a reason for this, the falcon tos is multilingue, the modified tos was english only, takes less rom space, and we are talking about the aes only, not the whole tos.
And i repeat, i have used it, it really was the falcon's desk.

It was called tos 2.16

Yet again it's an unfinished work, so don't use it as your main ste tos.

Yeah this was my post in the german forum. I tested also this version. My thoughts is to put it into Tos3.06 to bring a new look to TT without loading anything from Auto Folder.

Well it could be done, but we'd need to compile in as many different languages as needed (one language by compilation) for the ste, dunno for the TT.
And we need to find how to fix the few bugs (including the resolutions that aren't supported with the computer it's done for).
