AwebPPC released : Comment 202 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 20-Jun-2002 11:45 GMT | In reply to Comment 200 (Alkis Tsapanidis): > 1) Games that kill AmigaOS completely (that is destroying the execbase etc
> like capital punishment) are not Amiga games.
They are not defined as Amiga games due to the fact that they are using Amiga hardware, it's because they use the AmigaOS. Does capital punishment kill the ROM and launch it's own OS and hardware drivers? No. You see, the AmigaROM is where the low level stuff of AmigaOS is, it's the very core of it. Just because you don't run the startup-sequence and boot into Workbench, that doesn't mean you're not using the AmigaOS. Try booting without startup-sequence sometime and notice what the AmigaDOS prompt tells you, completely without booting from floppy or harddrive.

There is no Amiga computer without an AmigaROM and in order for an application to run without the AmigaROM, you'll have to create your own hardware drivers, memory manager, application launcher, etc. I'm pretty sure the makers of capital punishment didn't do this, so...

I'm very serious, Amiga Inc. owns the trademarks "Amiga" and "AmigaOS" and therefore the MorphOS team may NOT use those trademarks when marketing their own product which is in direct competition with Amiga Inc.'s product. Sure, anyone is allowed to make an alternative OS for the classic Amiga hardware if they like but they may still not use those words when marketing it, period. You think it would be legal to advertise LinuxPPC as a Mac OS simply because it runs on Mac hardware?
Anyway, why do you keep mixing applications with operating systems? Applications is an entirely different thing, they require an OS regardless of the hardware beneath. Linux applications are Linux applications, regardless of the hardware. If I run Netscape on LinuxAPUS, does that make Netscape an Amiga application? No, it's still a Linux application. Linux and Windows runs on the same hardware but they are still different *platforms*. It's simply because you define platforms by the OS, not the hardware. Will you please get this into your head! |
