CGFX5 will be MOS only. Don't expect an AOS version.

Theres no point in CGX for AOS, because AmigaOS4 will have retargetability built in. No need to patch one in after.


I disagree but for different reasons. People who shelled out $40USD+ for CGFX4 shouldn't be shafted with no future upgrades. I mean if you pay good money for a RTG system you shouldn't be left out in the cold.

Also, people who bought CGX4 got just what they paid for, CGX4. They shouldn't expect to get CGX5 thrown in.


Well i never said free. My point is who would buy an app if they knew it was a dead end? It's kind of like "CGFX5 is for MOS only, but CGFX6 will be for TOS only", there would be some unhappy MOS customers.

It's just like someone who paid the shareware-fee for P96 (if there is someone who did that)


I did! I think I shocked him;-) They did an EXCELENT job fixing the SGRAM bug for the Voodoo3/Prometheus driver for me. Good software, more should register(Hello out there UAE people!!!!)

But, I DO understand exactly what you are saying, i just don't see why anyone would want to install CGX5 on top of AmigaOS4 even if they could.


What I meant is people who use CGFX4 on 3.X PPC systems. I'm sure there are some who would like a PPC native V5(WOS). Also look at people who love Magellen as a WB replacement. But then again I see your point that these people will probably upgrade to OS4 anyhow.
