Amiga OS 4.1 Compatability List
« on: July 19, 2012, 01:00:18 PM »
I was wondering what classic Amiga software works with Amiga OS 4.1.
 
I would like to use the following on my new Amiga One computer:
 
  • Final Writer
  • Final Data
  • Diskmaster 1.x
  • Brilliance
Do any classic Amiga games work with Amiga OS 4.1?
Amiga 500 (like new in box) , Amiga 2000 (like new in box) , Amiga 2500 (like new in box) , Amiga 3000T (like new) , 2 - Amiga 500 Towers , AmigaOne with OS 4.1

I have never really used WinUAE because I do have real Amiga computers.  I do not want to have to run an Amiga emulator on my AMIGA One computer.  So, I really need to know what classic Amiga software works with Amiga OS 4.1 without the use of an Amiga emulator.  My Amiga One computer will take the place of my 3.6 GHz AMD PC (short for Piece of Crap).  I am sick and tired of Winblows XP Unprofessional and Winblows 7 Unprofessional.  I want to use Amiga OS 4.1 as an alternative.

Most software that doesn't directly access the hardware will run without the need for UAE.
 
As mentioned above Final Writer and Final Data will run without the need for UAE. There's a native port of Diskmaster 2. Brilliance may need UAE to run.
 
With the latest update UAE is automatically installed along with Chris Hindley's RunInUAE which goes some way to making UAE fell more integrated with OS4.
For example if you have a game in ADF image you can simply double click on it like any application and UAE will automatically start running in it's own window or screen and load the game.

Sounds good.  I am selling my Amiga 3000T for $800.  As soon as it is sold, I will order my Sam440ep Flex 733 Mhz motherboard and Amiga OS 4.1 from ACube Systems.  I saw an Amiga One Motherboard blow the fraken doors off of a 3.6 GHz AMD pc on YouTube.  It was really impressive how a 733 MHz Amiga One computer was running circles around a Winblows 7 Unprofessional pc.  Really funny stuff.  :lol:

No, I mean that I saw a video on YouTube, made by Dan Wood, where he compared a 733 MHz Amiga One computer from power off to surfing the web and a 3+ GHz AMD pc doing the same thing.  From power off to surfing the web, the 733 MHz Amiga One did it in about 10 seconds, the 3+ GHz AMD pc took over 2 minutes to do the exact same thing.
 
I am talking about another person on YouTube showing off Amiga OS 4.1 on his 733 MHz Amiga One computer.  He loaded up Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3, and Workbench.  He had each program in its own window, at different resolutions, and he was dragging the screens around.  My 3.6 GHz AMD pc can NOT do that, and if I tried, my pc would crash or choke and die.  Once again, the Amiga blows the fraken doors off the pc.  It is funny how a pc has to be at least 3 times faster then an Amiga computer, just to keep up with it.  :lol:
 
Anyway, we are starting to get off topic.

If I can do the following things on an Amiga One computer, I will nolonger be using a pc:
  • Surf the web
  • sell on eBay
  • Run my online business
  • Create my web pages
  • Run a word processor
  • Run a data base
  • play music
  • play videos
  • Print using a HP Inkjet printer
The only thing that I will continue using my pc for is for WoW and FPS games, basicly another video gaming console, like an XBOX.
 
Millions of people are fed up with Microshaft and Winblows and are looking for an alternative platform. I would like to help ACube Systems push the Amiga One platform here in the USA. It is time for the Amiga computer to return. This time, with myself leading the team here in America, and providing we can get the financial backing we will need, the Amiga will be the number one personal computer in the world. We will spend millions of dollars on advertising. We will actually state that the Amiga computer is the best personal computer in the world, always has been, and we will dare Microsoft, Intel, and Apple to prove us wrong. I will do what Commodore should have done to begin with. I WILL NOT DROP THE BALL!

I believe you already did, or rather you never had the ball to begin with.

What I mean is, if I do "get the ball" I will not drop it, like Commodore did. ACube Systems are on the right track with their boards and Amiga OS 4.1. But, they should think world-wide, not just Europe. Most of you have given up hope on the Amiga, and to you, it is just a hobby. Well, I know that the Amiga can become a mainstream computer. In fact, with the right marketing stratagy, the Amiga computer can be number one. It takes a person with Amiga-size balls to do it, that person is me. If you want to beat the big boys, you have to be aggressive. If they think that I actually pose a threat to their business, they will first offer to buy me. If that does not work, they will have me killed! But, that is the chance I am willing to take, for a computer that I really do believe in.
 
Millions of people, all over the world, are fed up with Windows, Intel, and the over-priced Apple computers.  Now is the perfect time to bring back the Amiga.

Oddly, fear of being killed over this is not a new thought.
The author of "freeamiga" posted that same concern on AW back in the day.
 
And apparently, you've missed a longer thread about Would you support a company that decided to support Amiga?
 
You need to catch up.

I probably do.  :biglaugh:
