Also, we might as well let the thread know that MorphOS runs on the A1 too. We have one of "their" boards and it works! That should settle the issue of "write once, publish anywhere"... Plus, we are happy to sell a Pegasos to Mr. Hermans and his team or anyone else. Ben, you can have one from the next production and you do not even have to be a Betatester...;)

Morphos runs on AmigaOne too. : Comment 140 of 160 | ANN.lu |

Ah.. I have not been around so long (I was far away of Amiga many years in between). In last 18 or so months they have not done so badly.. Ok, their system is late too, but It was not sold to us as 'soon' over a year ago.

Yes.. but it all can't be build or ported overnight.. It'll happen over long period, and all that time people have to get on with Os3.1-3.9 etc software.. And Not all of us can afford to have multiple Amigas, and it will take long time before OS4-only prducts will be commercially valid.
> AmigaOS 3.x compatibility in MorphOS is almost as worthless.
I'm not sure about that.. At least those softwares I'm havign are all older ones. It will take a quite long time to update them all. Not to mention quite impossible cause many good programs have not been developed to last 5 or so years.
>>Besides. What OS4 spesific software there is? Or is coming in next 1/2 year or >>so? Anything not Opensourced and not also available to MOS or OS3.9?
>Realsoft 3D Version 4?
Sounds interesting.. OTOH..their (or is it Hyperions?) Amiga-port seems a bit slow. This is last of their announcement of Amiga...posted December 9, 2000
http://www.realsoft.fi/news/hyprg_pressrel.html
"Realsoft 3D will be available for Amiga OS 3.x and Amiga DE in the course of 2001. Requirements and further details to be announced."
Since then there has been no news atimes mentioning Amiga. So if it's happenign again they are not making much noise of it.
>Audio Evolution 4?
Never hear before---> GOogle -> http://www.audio-evolution.com/
Ah well.. looks like yet another Ababdonware to me.. No updates to website well over a year.. No updates to downloads, no bug fixes.. Like nothing done to it into well over a year.
>Sudden Strike?
>Dafel: Bloodline?
>SIN?
>Soldier of Fortune?
>Echelon: The Storm?
>Quake II?
Games games games... It's good to have some new games (Although IMHO those names look like older ones and many of them are thos delayed item sHyperion should have released years ago) ..
Unfortunately latest Amiga.one can't beat sony-PS2 on games (considering quality, and quantity). With good Gfx-card (+ softwares) Amiga will offer more power, but games need things like big development, good budjets and thus big audiences. And I (+ well over 30 Million others, quite many of them are current or Ex- Amigians) have purchased that thing and games for it last couple years. If Aone had come year ago, I had rather got it and dropped PS2, but Due those delays I got this neat thing instead.
> Just a quick list of some titles reported by AmigaFlame. I'd certainly like to > see more, though. How 'bout MorphOS?
Hmm.. Have not asked cause I have not seen any hurry on jumping into MOS wagon.. I want to see OS before spending too much time on applications ... But what I have seen just by looking into www.morphos-news.de , many well known essentials (frogger, web browsers, vaporware etc) are allready available on native ports not to mentions ports of freeciv etc...
I'll tell more if/when I see those. And use those.

Considering how much there are users for Amithlon. And it can't run any more OS4 stuff than MOS can..

Biggest broblem is that it's nothing sureproof that working OS4 ever appear (or that it's new features gain enough momentum). It may well be good system, but I've been waiting AmigaInc and associates to deliver a bit too long not to look alternatives.

I have seen no difference in this.. Amiga.inc is still in middle of nowere. Before I see this OS4/AOne and have to use it I'm not going to be to etheustic about it. Year ago perhaps, but not anymore. And especially not before next year when they hopefully get that combination out in more-or-less working condition.
> Sure, two kidneys are great, but not when one is killing the entire body.
Just have to be sure not to take away the better working one??? And can you be sure even before even looking at them and testing them. I can't, so I wait and make my decision between them AFTER they are available. Meanwhile I use what I happen to have (currently Win2k.. hoping to purchase Blizzrd+Bvision to make my Amiga more or less usable). |
