MUI 4.0-2015R4 for AmigaOS4/PPC and AmigaOS3/m68k released

I dont get how MUI 3.8 can run fine, while MUI4 struggles so much? Sorry for beeing negative here, but the goal should not be to say WinUAE is minimal requirements.

It would be nice if they'd taken MUI3.8 and built on it, incrementally,  made small updates and modernizations, and checked and maintained  backward compatibility with the older version as they went.  I mean, I'm no software developer, but that's what I would've done.

I don't think this was the case, here.  If I understand correctly MUI4 for classic systems / 68k was a backport of the MOS version, which was done by a completely different team from the original developers?

Have yet to see a single post from anyone running MUI4 on a classic system "without issue".  Of course would like to be proven wrong, and hope they keep up development - "maybe it'll work someday" - but just glad they remembered to include the disclaimer "Yes, this says it's for 68k/classic.  No, it probably won't work on your 68k/classic system".  LOL.

considering the problems it causes (how many people have already reported) and that there is no application needing it, it makes not that much sense.

It causes confusion, that's the frustrating part.  People come along who might be new to the scene, or just coming back after decades, and they won't know about all these reported problems.  They'll just go into Google and search out "the latest version of MUI", and then get stuck with this mess.  I'm just kvetching, not really sure what to do about this other then comment annoyingly in as many threads as possible, LOL.  

On a side note, I noticed the registration page for MUI is still active.  I tried to register it a year or so back, not because I expected anything, but just because I felt like it was the right thing to do (after using "copies" of the program all through the '90s).  Didn't get any response to my payment, but a "thank you" email at least, would've been nice.

PS - great to hear that Stunzi is living his dream riding his bike all over the world still, more people here should follow his example

Must be nice, the rest of us have to work for a living. Guess he struck it rich being an Amiga software developer?  :laughing: :laughing:

You don't have to be rich to do this kind of thing, it is more a matter of prioritizing and making choices, and not be afraid to pick up stray jobs along the route and do some volunteer work for food and shelter here and there.

LOL. Doesn't work that way in the US. Unless you have wealthy parents, I suppose. :p
