Title: New Amiga Video
Post by: seer on March 19, 2005, 11:18:28 PM: Haven't seen it posted here, so...

as seen on amigaworld (http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11187&forum=14) there's a nice video (http://os4depot.net/showfile/?file=video/media/os4bt-march2005.avi) showing of OS4.

Not bad at all.

EDIT: Seen it. Wow. I really wish I was a beta tester so I could play with all this stuff now!

A nice demo none the less.

I've watched it a few times an to me it looks like it's a bit slower. At least when running 800x600. When running 320x240 it's hard to compare...

It isn't. It is almost exactly the same speed. You notice this better in high resolutions, where the drawing effort for the frame is much higher than the time spend in the OS to double-buffer etc.

I sure hope it's worth the wait.
