After a lot of hot air and angry words, take a rest and be sure not to miss these two!
- BurnIT 3.0, with dvd burning support, is near completion!
- AmiDog finally released sources for TrueReality and SOPE, his N64+PSX emulators!

Decent Playstation and N64 emulators would be awesome, be it AOS,OS4 or MOS. Preferably all three. :)

Hopefully now with the G3 and G4 processors and newer videocards than Permedia2 we have the required power.

Please change the posting to say that BurnIT is for MOS only!

Thanks.

Is this good or bad news?
Will AmiDog continue the development?

why? what a small little market! why not have an AmigaOS classic 3.x
version? that not only is a bigger market..but should also run on MorphOS
and AmigaOS 4.x

Maybe when OS4 is actually out, authors will port their software. Not
much use complaining they don't release it before then.

Before getting my A1 (nov 2002!), I'd dabbled n Linux, but pretty much stuck to Windows. Since getting the A1, I've ditched MS altogether, learned how to write in C++ and started to convert school systems away from MS. So, being without AOS4 has had some advantages ;)

An AmigaOS version of Burnit 3 would be nice.
If there were a 68k version, I could use it
with my DraCo.

BurnIt comes just in time aswell.. DVD-burners have pretty decent prices these days, some even under 100 euros.

Provoke? Only if you are easily provoked. Is it really trolling when it's fact? i don't think so. The AmigaOne was released in 2001, and since then how many Amigans have switched to Linux? Amigaworld.net should be renamed LinuxPPC.net.

Eyetech/Hyperion are so kind with A1 user, they will wait a little bit
more before releasing the OS4, this way A1 users could have an hight

Let's hope they (Eyetech/Hypercon) will success to make it (the
AOne) working !!! :-)

About what OS are you talking ? Obviously not AmigaOS 4, as this one exists.
That it is not yet released to the public, and that the final version is still
in development does not change this fact.

Supporting AmigaOS is possible by cross-compilers (for people who are not Betatesters or OS 4 Developers) BTW. Currently still only a limited number of
people have access to such, but once the prerelease is out everybody will be able to cross-compile for OS 4 :)

"About what OS are you talking ? Obviously not AmigaOS 4, as this one exists." I think that was not the point. People are not going to buy software for OS they don't have. Hyperion must establish first market and then commercial software can come.

That wouldn't be very practical for DVD burning software - you really would need to test on the actual hardware.

I wonder if Amidog has had a GPLed version of MiniGL for use in the GPL sources of True Reality and SOPE.
Any inclusion of source code in a GPL project makes it GPL, right? I might be wrong...

I don't think so... when you compile anything you usually link against an amiga.lib link library and suddenly that library isn't "infected" by the license of your program.

If you link your program against a GPL'd library, and release it to the public, then your program must be licensed under the GPL terms. If you don't like this, don't use the GPL'd library.

did you read the guy? he's asking for classic OS3.x support! in theory such a version would run on ALL the 'AmigaOS API supporting' platforms..though natively compiled versions would be an incentive for extra payment perhaps

How many people had an A1 in 2001. I didn't think you were able to
order an A1 until Feb/Mar 2002.

How can non existant hardware convert users to Linux.



I'd also imagine that many of the people who currently own an A1 use
Linux but are not what you might call "Linux converts". As soon as
OS4 is here a lot of Linux installations will probably be ditched.

You don't have to imagine - just look at some threads on amigaworld.net.

Almost everyone with an A1 detests Linux.

In reply to Comment 28 (Crumb // AAT):
amiga.lib is a compiler file, and as such doesn't have to be GPL, if I understood correctly that part of the GPL.

MiniGL, on the opposite, is neither a compiler file, nor a part of the OS, so using it in a GPL project requires it to be GPL too. Which it isn't, AFAIK.

Not that I care though. I probably just wanted to be evil, but this time no one seems to care about GPL :-).

Hi!

It is. At least for AmigaOS 3.x. It was included with StormC which was the
"official" compiler for AmigaOS 3.x (there were some texts on amiga-news.de
and other sites a long time ago about this "official compiler" thing).

Besides this: a library can obviously not be GPL'ed by someone who is not
the author of said library.
