Best option for classic users to play videos with is probably FroggerNG. Has best support for classics and is much faster than things like FFplay. With a bppc and rtg an a1200 using FroggerNG is more than capable of watching mpegs full speed and can even watch divx files as long as the resolution of encoded video files isnt much higher than something like 320x240. It's far from great, but I think people might be pleasantly surprised at the results obtainable, even on an '060.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know. Looks like a C64 emulator running on a powerful PC or something. I saw a pointer though that looked like an Amiga style pointer...


It's Wings OS for commodore64. Multitasking 16 bit OS with irc client, tcp/ip stack, video player, music player, browser, image viewers, etc, etc. Requires both scpu expansion and something like Ramlink and IDE64  (essentially c64 upgraded with faster cpu, more ram and ide interface(ergo hdd/cdrom)). It's my most wanted retro toy in the world, have wanted to play with Wings for years, but unfortunately the hardware isnt common and not cheap either. Very cool stuff though :-)
