Kurt then whats the point of the 'rom' ? ... the Pegasos is idential to the A1 aside from the VIA southbridge... wich isnt some 'closed' spec... Hyperion could make OS4 for Pegasos...

Well I want it to run Halo on my PS2! Microsoft could make it, they have enough  money!  But they want me to buy THEIR hardware!  But I don't want to give them my money, I want to give it to someone else!
 
I am sorry this logic makes no sense to me.


If you want AOS4 then buy an A1 or a classic Amiga w/ PPC.

If you want MOS buy a Pegasus.

If you want a OSX buy a Mac

If you want WIndows XP buy a PC

If you want to play Halo buy an XBOX

It really is this simple

bad example... this isnt one console architecture to another... (wich BTW is very hard to port Xbox games to PS2)..... this is an OS...and the A1 isnt their hardware...its eyetechs...it would be great to see OS4 run on pegasos.

It is not a bad example.  The point is not how much work it would take to port Halo to PS2 or OS4 to Pegasus.  The point is they have the right to drive their hardware sales with their own software.  If I could run Halo on PS2, then I wouldn't buy an Xbox to play it.  The same goes for the A1.  If I can run OS4 on any hardware, why would I buy an A1?  Amiga is only doing the same exact thing every other hardware company is doing.  They are simply trying to sell hardware.  Why is it not wrong that OSX only works on Macs.  Apple could sell more software if I could run it on my A1.  Or that Sony buys exclusive rights to the GTA series, so it won't appear on an Xbox?  Rockstar could sell a lot more copies if it werte available on Xbox and Gamecube.  But Sony wants to sell hardware so they buy exclusive rights to a game that will make people buy their system.  

If you want to use OS4, buy an AmigaOne or upgrade your current Amiga.
