I wouldnt call "boing bag 3 and 4" stable and proper releases of amiga os. There are MANY hacks/patches in those updates. Some good some bad.

But mainly there were licensing problems.

Thanks for the link interesting read. My old partner and I actually had the rights obtained from Ainc for the "Powered by Amiga" logo.

Mr moonlight
If your a1200 is stable id recommend NOT to install these bb3 and 4.

Yes the reason is it could lead to instability which is something you dont need on your fun retro system. Just search EAB for problems ppl have had with these boing patch releases..its like a vintage car if its running perfect dont mess with it!

i would add that iI personally havent run the boing bag 3 or 4 and I know a few people put a lot of effort into it. Having said that, as many amigans new when you add hacks/patches to amigaos it can break easily, and NOBODY likes guru screens!

If anything he can create another bootable partition and put the hack fest bb 3 and 4 on that and keep his stable system intact.

Mike you are right os 3.9 is actually a hack/patch fest lmao. Thats why they called them Hack and patch instead of Haage and partner.

Why spread baseless FUD?


FUD? For what reason would I do that. One, its based on my experience with patching/hacking amiga os which naturally leads to instability. And secondly its from reading many threads about user problems when I considered going to BB3. So far from "baseless"

Mr. Moonlight

I'm so sorry man i tried to tell you.

But I was just "trolling" and "baseless" what a farce.

So minous are you going to apologize to me for saying i'm spreading FUD or what?
