@thread nice read

However more must be done on Linux, we dont need 20+ distros.

The Linux users want a fast efficient Linux system, OS in 10 MB max.

Linux users want ASSEMBLY development system.

Even on Windows Games are still problematic to write.

Amiga had it good back in the day, but suffered - too many programming languages at poor level, but most hit the wall at AGA.

These days Classic users want more 68k power than a 68060 ~ 100+ MHZ but an AGA+ chipset or at least code compatible simulated chipset using OpenGL for 24 bit graphics.

At end of the day Amigans want to bang hardware/GFX in assembler - real hardware or simulated. I dont know if AMD have released any register info for their chips to directly access.

Only when these systems are available and under £300 systems we can rejoice.

I personally think new Amiga systems should use sub $100 processors as a rule + media processor + FPGA.

Linux users can use assembler

Amiga classic users - Stripped Linux + 68k amige emulator can simulate a standard AGA+ chipset in FPGA and code GFX in assembler + 68k.

Amiga needs a low level compatible assembly + GFX across Amiga devices

But we also need uptodate game developer systems like UNITY addon for Amiga code. so we can create code compatible games and programs forever.

An example of a game developer community I wish was for Amiga is like the following :

Scirra development system to create games fast on windows and export to mobile devices.
