| Ben Hermans Interview on Amiga.org : Comment 78 of 80 | ANN.lu |

"Stop living in the past Don :p"
It seems to be incredibly difficult to write a paint program that equals them. Perfect Paint, for example, has some nice image processing tricks but is nowhere near those two for painting and animation. So it will probably be easier to get them to run on an AmigaOne than to write replacement programs.
"If you want to run DP, Brilliance and Scala, there's no reason not to run it on an A1200 or A4000, but on an emulator of some sort."
The old Amigas are steadily dying of hardware failure. I would rather simply run a program than have to fire up an emulator and run it in some kind of sandbox, isolated from the rest of the OS. What if you want to write a script combining DPaint with some other program?
Also, consider that most of the customers for an Amiga will be motivated by nostalgia. They will want to play their old games and programs. |
