Any plans to increased the AmigaNG software?

[OlafS3]

The negotiation for one particular piece of Classic Amiga software that I am having currently involved in will more than likely extend over the date of Amiwest.  

One thing I have learned (the hard way) over the last year, is that software development in the Amiga market is a long process.  We operate full time in this business but most of the developers we work with do not, they do the Amiga work in their spare time (usually reserved for family time).  

Anyway back to today's AMIStore development work ...

If you have success to get updates for 68k software I would welcome that

thanks :-)

I'm wondering what are the programs that the so called Classic users wants.

well then, maybe os4 netsurf frontend could be ported to amiga, but its a question whether this will make much practical difference.

what concerns odyssey, its anyway genuinly morphos software. it isnt clear if it would be useable on genuine amigas, but the first step to check that out would be updating the 68k mui up to the level of the version 4.

aros is already being updated to achieve just that and i expect that current version of odyssey will be available from contributions for aros68k,also for genuine amigas next to aros-owb some time soon.

I know it's pie in the sky but I've wanted a new version of OctaMED for donkey's.

Perhaps more realistic would be Thilo Köhler's HD-Rec; without a doubt the most comprehensive DAW ever made for the Amiga.

isn't NetSurf-m68k a modern browser for classics?

+1, I wasted many many hours playing with OctaMED as a kid, . Good times.

Wasn't the developer of OctaMED going blind or something, I seem to remember Helgis talking about it years ago.

My opinion is probably unpopular..but I'd bail on classic stuff and just spend a majority of time for MorphOS and OS4 software.  I wouldnt even bother buying any new Classic software.

Yes your opinion is "unpopular". You seem to forget what most users in the community still have. A small hint: "not AROS, MorphOS and AmigaOS"

The push to have new software for an old platform that you cant buy newer, more powerful hardware for, to me isnt a good idea.  I understand..its "cool" to use old Amiga's and run newer apps that push our Amiga's to limits they never saw back in the 90's... but there are 2 really good NG OS's to choose from in OS4 and MorphOS that should have the  most developers concentrating on developing software that showcases their strong points.    I'm for running old Amiga's..but I see their time is done and also their limitations.

new hardware is on the way, most software is 68k, most dev environments are 68k, most documentation is 68k, most users are 68k users (without owning and using AmigaOS or MorphOS). As you said it has some coolness factor f.e. to run DOS games in a amiga environment. I do not see the same when using it on "alien" hardware (people might see that different ). Of course I myself run it on X64 PC in emulation but at least the environment is (more or less) original.

And even if it would be just the known amiga hardware, most users there mean most potential buyers
