Excitement about NatAmi

[jj]

Sure I read somewhere that it would probably cost about the same as a SAM

[jj]

Exactly.
 
@ Franko
 
I think you will find that most people on this site are more than old enough to not only remeber the Amigas Hay day, but  to have been using the machines at this time.

[jj]

Think this line from the faq is quite ironic given the error in the text
 
 Allowing more people to verifying the SuperAGA chipset to be error free.

A does a 100Mhz 060 real = 100Mhz PPC (Assuming they mean G3 here)
 
And will a 100mhz 060 be able to decode divx/xvid/dvd ?

[jj]

You continue to troll.
 
 
You failed algebra. The potential is closer to 400x the speed of an A500 blitter but for other reasons that will only end up in the 100x-200x range. 100x is a conservative #.
 
 
You failed reading comprehension as well.
 
 
Yep. 2 more weeks infact... /lame
 
 
You could challenge them if you had facts but you don't even know the first thing about blitting and memory access speeds. No one else is disputing the possibility that this is possible. Stop and think: what do you know that they don't? No really - stop thinking, you'll just run yourself in an endless loop looking for the answer.
 
 
If you want to call me a liar, then come back with facts instead of challenges. I gave you facts and you come back with more trollish remarks.
Rogue on AW.net said they OS4 could run on the Wii. You, sir, lack much upstairs...

No you are correct no one knows anyhting about blitting apart from you.  You don't get it do you, without any proof or benchmarks to back this up all your claims are just that claims and theoritical.  
 
Yes OS4 might possibly run a Wii but god it would be an awful experience.  Im guessing, guessing mind, don't know, but did rouge say that just to shut you up on your GC/Wii os4 trolling ?

[jj]

Sorry double post

[jj]

To be fair no the team have not been promising anything.  Its the rabid followers promising the earth.
 
I for one will be glad if they pull this off but I think the cost of the board if going to be way to high for most people

[jj]

I really wouldnt want to run any NG AmigaOS on 88Mb of ram.  How usless would that be ?
 
You must be in Nirvana now if ignorance is bliss.
 
great assumption AOS4 is baed on an OS that ran on 512k, hence 88Mb is loads....wft ?

[jj]

Well, that's more a fault of the architecture the browser was ported from.
Opera runs fine on the Wii natively.
As does Aweb on the Amiga. It also depends on whether your cache is on Ramdisk or HDD...

 
Sorry I can not let that one go.  Opera on the Wii is sooooooo slow and unusable.
 
Yes I have got a Wii and have briefly tried using that rubbish.  Its about as quick and good as the inernet browswer on the PSP.
 
Browsing on my Nokia N900 is a million times more satisfactory that using Opera on the Wii.
 
I am not denying that AOS4 or MorphOS for that matter can run in 88Mb of ram, but an operating system with that little ram spare would be a horrible idea if you actually wanted to use the thing for anything slightly modern or useful.
 
Christ My classic has got more ram than that with 128mb and yes that has not been enough when wanting to run some games etc.

[jj]

Wow... what game on a classic need's 128Mb, I'd love to see that one...

 
Some versions of quake needish 128mb ram.  There are other games but memory not brillaint.

[jj]

Opera on the Wii is enough for YouTube, although the on-screen keyboard is a PITA (but that's down to the Wii, and you can plug in a keyboard). It's the same on the PS3, the browser is just a PITA, it's not the technology, it's the console UI.

 
I think that youtube is ok because the wii has its own special youtube interface

[jj]

Settlers on a planet-sized map?

When I said classic, I didn't mean stock
 
Its a heavily expanded A1200 with 603e/175 and Bivison.
 
Obviously there were no games released for stock miggys that need anywhere near this ram.
 
im talking new games ported to expanded classic hardware.

[jj]

I loved settlers, played that for hours and hours and hours on end.
 
Never played any of the newer version

[jj]

I think I get it. You don't care what Lou is saying, you just want Lou to shut up because he is Lou. That's very personal. Why are you dredging up something that apparently is YEARS OLD? I guess you have a personal vendetta. Take it away from this forum please.

 
Who made you a mod ?

[jj]

Gentlemen, a spot of calm if you please.
 
Until I have a working NatAmi in my grubby paws, as far as I am concerned it's all speculative. On that point, a modern implementation of the hardware, if it lives up to the promise of being able to utilise the full DDR2 memory bandwidth would seem to qualify as much, much faster than the original. However, that's as much as can be said. Putting numbers on it at the moment, no matter how educated a guess, remains a guess.

 
Karlos be careful, how dare you say its just a guess, its just moving memory.   Did you fail maths in school etc etc

[jj]

Anyway lets remember that winning an argument on the internet and special olympics etc
