Title: Need iFusion update
Post by: Amigaz on April 15, 2007, 04:46:58 PM

Have got iFusion working (incredible, isn't it)

And as I suspected it's slow...have read upon all old stories now about this software when it came out  ;-)

But still want to fiddle with it but I think I'm missing the latest videodrivers

Would really appreciate if someone had this update since the d/l link is dead since way back

Unfortunately that's only the 1.3.0 update and not the other updates mentioned in the link from the webarchive.

Is iFusion usable on the internet?
I seem to remeber some writing about that a bug or something in the first release of iFusion prevented it to connect to the internet.

I even baught a copy of it, and still have the software in a drawer, but none of the PPC-systems that I had pre-ordered ever turned up
 :cry:

It seems that there's no networking or any serial/parallel port support in iFusion; so Internet connection is not possible as far as I know.

Man, I'm glad I never experienced the 1997-2002 Amiga period...it seem to be full of broken promises

Flashlab is right, no networking is supported...it was planned as well as iFusion working on Blizzard PPC cards but Haage & Partner never solved that problem (BPPC problem)

It's funny, I got the impression they claimed the problem was in the BPPC hardware somehow. Funnily no-one ever said what the problem was exactly.

My guess: Coder imcompetence, and failure to ask/accept help.

Classic Amiga scene behaviour from the late '90s to now I guess.

Yeah, mee too but after spedning a couple of hours today googling and reading old posts on Amiga forums I it was on H&P's table to fix the bug...apparently a WarpOS bug, would have worked if it had been PowerUP...right Piru?  :-D
