NewTek sold!
« on: April 02, 2019, 12:29:59 PM »
I had thought this was April Fools since it happened on the 1st but it still looks real today.

Can it be true? Could the company that pioneered a great many things on the Amiga finally be sold?

Yea, I was sad when SpeedEDIT died, I own two copies of it. Windows Movie Maker died too, I was happy about that.

Parts of the Amiga Video Toaster can be run in emulation without the Toaster hardware. They should also run fine in AmigaOS 4.1 & MorphOS. I haven’t tested it with 3.1.4 yet.

I have no idea if it would run under AROS, give it a try. If it does not run the full source is available so it could be updated to run.

........ can't emulate a Toaster yet!

I thought you could with "Open Toaster".
Huh, everything I saw about Open Video Toaster I could find was that you had to compile it yourself and the compile was broken currently.  Maybe I am thinking of something else though because I have been jumping around looking things up.

Direct link to the binary.
