Does AOS4 then ?


Yep, tried tested and confirmed here. If you are running it on a classic, Paula etc. works as before. If running it on a "next gen", you need "The Maestrix" which provides a surrogate library to redirect OM's 16-bit Maestro audio through AHI.

The latter probably works on MorphOS too if anybody would care to test it.

This thread has dropped into the stupid old Red V Blue debate.

To address the OP, yes a PPC mac port would be nice. However...

Point 1. Other than the old moana project, there's no OS4 for PPC mac.

Point 2: Hyperion have said on multiple occasions that there are no plans for a PPC mac port.

Point 3: MorphOS runs on an ample cross section of G4 class PPC macs that are available at a reasonable cost. Moaning that it doesn't support a particular machine my might already own isn't likely to help you any.

Point 4: Trolling and flaming are a violation of the TOS.

Point 5: Thread closed.
