Any comments ?

I just love Amithlon

Im running WB3.9 in high resolution in warp speed, and you complain about "themes/eye candy" ?

Anyway, its the perfect platform for me.

Yeah, Amithlon is nice provided all you want to do is run OS3.x quite fast, but I don't see it having much of a future unlike AROS, MOS and OS4...

Anyway, i'm sure all you 'thloners out there are very grateful to Richard Drummond for bringing a useful port of UAE to your favoured platform :-) I'm so glad he took up the challenge of backporting WinUAE updates to the UAE tree.

Edit: heh, just noticed you're not using Rich's port. Is that a special Amithlon version?

Not quite fast. Very very fast. So fast I prefer it over linux/wintel.

As for future, I feel all amiga Amiga clones have little in common with my needs.

I welcome an updated UAE port, and enjoy Richardss ports and work. They are a bit unstable atm, but Im sure it will give results further on.

I use the port I found somewhere (Aminet ?)

Maybe I should link it on my homepage.

What's that game in some of the screenshots where the mutants/aliens take over the guys ship??

Also, how does UAE perform through Amithlon?
How does it compare with WinUAE on equivalent hardware?

Cheers,

The game is Turrican II, an good classic amiga game.
UAE running on amithlon preforms well.

Like the Windows port, things slow down when thre is a lot of stuff going on. Hard to compare realy. The Amiga port is a bit outdated an have some bugs. With an updated port, I think more real life compare could be done.

Most of the time I get 50 fps

ATM I only have an AMD 2400XP, hopefully an more updated/newer CPU might bring more "brute force" power.

3.9 aint acctualy screaming GREAT =Q im glad its good for you but ever since i changed to morphos i could NEVER go back to OS3.x on anything be it amithlon or my amigas (in fact i never use them anymore unless its to see some old demo).

3.9 is not perfect, its still my favorite OS.
I see no bug/missing features realy.

"nice to have" fetures could be just "nice", but I like it this way.

My guess is that you enjoy the more posix/*nix like functions in Morphos ?

If I like AmigaOS 3.X, I could:

1. Buy used Amiga hardware that contains several issues.

- Slow, expesive, rare etc..

2. Use Amithlon and use all kinds of cool hardware.

- Use updated sate of the art hardware etc..

Still, Im sure Morphos is very good. But what exactly are you missing with AmigaOS3.9 ? Just wondering

Who complained about eye candy?

Great! I'm happy for you Its a shame about the political shenanigans behind it, but it has provided a nice platform for a lot of people. Personally, I'll stick with OS4 as my main platform, thanks ;-)

In the words someoneorother, "its all good".

I will minigrate to Amiga OS 4.0 if it provide any any sane reason vs Linux. Othervise I see no restriction using Amithlon a few years further.
