Im a little conflicted about the Natami. It's potentially a cool project, but I just dont really see any advantage in it vs. my current "powerful" 68k machine in amithlon. In regards to SAGA Im more in favor of what already exists (and is much more powerful) in rtg cards. Any "new" software in my opinion is better off supporting all current amiga systems via rtg/ahi/etc.
Funny enough I really enjoy my classic amiga and get a kick out seeing what can be squeezed out of its hardware, so its not that Im all about power. Just seems a little redundant to me reinventing the wheel with something whose biggest advantage is severely outgunned by what already exists.

Minimig and fpgaarcade are more appealing to me for "real" classic fun, and when I want power a modest upgrade that will get mostly untapped apart from maybe via system friendly software (which will run better elsewhere anyway) really doesnt seem a great choice.

Having said this I'll still probably buy one if the price isnt too over the top.
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.

Far be it for me to tell you what to think or say, but Ive gotta say, your obsession with licences is getting pretty weird by now. Let it go guy, sheesh. Rhetorical (ie. please dont re-itterate), but did Cloanto kidnap your puppy or something? I just dont get why what others spend thier time and money doing is of any real consequence. DOnt like it, dont buy it, pretty simple. Your need to defame others simply because its not your kettle of fish is more than a little weird.

@thread

I can only imagine this whole Natami thing has happened on the back of too many backseat passengers giving directions and trying to take credit for Thomas' work? It was quite funny (in a sad sort of way) how many people were all vocal about being part of the "team", but actually did nothing other than try to sound involved on amiga forums :) I could name names, but I suspect people with thier eyes open already know who Im talking about.
I just feel for Thomas having his project stripped of fun by some other peoples fragile egos.

Actually I admit I misread what your wrote. Just got so used to you going on about cloanto and decrypted rom images that I automatically assumed you was harping on about it again when I saw you mention licenses. Sorry about that.
