It doesn't matter that the Amiga lacked development after '92 The topic of this thread askes if the amiga architecture is relevant today, what I (and others) point out is that the Amiga architecture wasn't even relevant in '92... As someone who was writing software for the amiga at the time, I remember the hoops one should have to jump through to do any that looked even remotely modern.
Yes the amiga has some cool hardware to do some specific effects, but this hardware was to compensate for the level of technology at the time... As chip technology improved the amiga architecture became a bottleneck, the Commodore engineers were working hard to rid themselves of it, and produce something at least comparable to off the shelf chips... But commodore folded.
Greetings,
...and 17 years later, we're still all discussing about it's relevance. A memory to some, yet it sticks like ROM.
Oh, the Irony of it all!
Any relevance of the Amiga's Technology today is all irrelevant. Without the support of the people who still uses it, is relevant. I say, use today's technology to develope a better or new Amiga architechture which takes advantage of faster machines of today. Like for example Windows 7.... yeah right! I mean emulation for backward compatibility, that's the reason why there's winuae, running on PSP, and so on.. Moving along... Sometimes it never hurts to look back once in a while.
