I used to try playing divx on my PPC Amiga, but it was a hopeless cause. I just couldn't get the frame rate, no matter what I did. I have an 040/25 with my PPC, though (although the PPC 200 MHz). BlizzPPC memory access is also slower than the CPPC's.

A Pegasos eats divx for breakfast, so an A1 should easily handle them.

However, there is a problem. An OS4 compile of frogger is probably unlikely. The PPC versions might not work on OS4, and the 68k version, even with JIT, still might be too slow...

also kennyR, why wouldnt froggerng work btw? , audio device aint a missing feature on os4, also i never read anywhere that he wouldnt support os4. show me a link if u know this for sure, or else be quiet


Because elf (the coder of Frogger) is a MOS developer and is extremely unlikely to be running OS4 any time in the future, so no native compile will appear. OS4 probably won't support WOS and PUP, so OS4 users will probably be stuck with the 68k compile.

This will happen with lots of software. There's no point in getting angry and defensive about it, unless you want to be thought of as yet another fanatic.

I have to agree with lempkee - mplayer is a great player. A port of this would be great for any platform.
