Gee, maybe a bunch of people will come along, read the entire thread and decide "hey, this could be a great way to get Amiga into a mass market device". Afterall, Amiga is a software company now. Who cares what the underlying hardware really is. I'm touting the Gamecube and Revolution because I feel

Wasn't OS4 supposed to be ported to Cyberstorm'd Amigas? So obviously it was written with portability to other platforms in mind. I remember reading about the HAL and how proud of it Hyperion was. I think there are some underlying issues as to why we don't already have OS4 in our hands that have not been made public. I wouldn't be surprised if all is not well between Hyperion and Eyetech.
it has been done and they are still doing it. there are betaz out there running on classic amigas but it was coded early from the start and is not identical to a1 os4 couse of different hardware.so here is my question why make os4 that still is at beta stage on a whole new platfor that would need rework.just think how long hyperion have worked on os4 they wont make it again for something that wont last. Yes i know GC has ppc and radeon but its more to it than that even the most stupid of my frinds know that a car is a car and a scoter is a scoter but they allso know that not all cars the same thing and they cant use parts from a tuned lada(your case nintendo) on a toyta supra even if they both have four weels you cant fit the lada weels on a toyota without modifications..
1#why would you like to port os for something like a dieing platfor like an nintendo that would only be usefull when the mashine was new come to think about it you dont need a nintendo with os maybe for webbrowse. and if you want loads of storage space for media hmm witch the nintendo does not have you have a problem..
2# if i want os4 i want DVD playback And a propper cd rom drive wich you dont get with your silly nintendo thing also the os 4 is desgned for a1 boards i feel you would have to make some win / CE© lookalike os made cheap dirt ..
3# as stated in 1 the GC is off market in maximum 2 years from now and so is people^s interest for the platform they will get playstation3..
4#you had to hack the system so badly upp i dont se why you would for an nintendo.
my advice to you get an a1 micro quit nagging about something that never will be..Sure the A1 seems expensive but reamember what people payed for their BPPC\CPPC cards in 96 and they dident complain after a coupple off monts use. i bet annyone whith the interest can get the money for an a1..It might be hard. but if you dont try I think your not interested at all in the new amiga Os4 .
Me for one would never buy Os for an gameconsole un less it were thefuture and i would not get a beta for my buggless gamesystem ever :lol:
its quite silly not to think about all the modding with CF cards(not reliable) all hacks and writing drivers ..kernel bla bla bla for something that would be a so expensive uppgrade nobody would finance it ever :roflmao:
btw good luck on getting support in this mather :lol:
adonay :-D
