Would you pay $100 for an updated Classic AmigaOS?

[unusedunused]

But there is AROS since years which is OS3-API compatible so I wonder why nobody ever did an 68k Port for the classics? I am sure it would give the classic users what they need and won't get with AOS3.

compile just AROS is too incompatible, i guess only 1% of 68k programs run then.there are so much problems when AROS run on 68k that it is near impossible to find easy out what the problem is.

So the only way can go is AFA OS.merge more and more AROS funcs in thats new on AROS and let Code that need not change run from OS3.x.So can get with less work a enhanced AOS.AFA OS is no patch, it replace the func complete.and some libs as diskfont library or icon library are 100% replaced.exec can replace by 99% but i dont do, because warpup powerup is load before AFA (when datatypes load)and when AFA replace exec funcs powerup warup do not work

and AFA OS is since years here, run known Bug free and have near same most need features as MOS or OS4.In theory can replace then more and more funcs with AROS code, but my goal is have with lessest work something enhanced stable running with many software.I have not the time to spend work that give me no new features.

also the 68k is dead PPC is future propaganda do the job i think good.
there is less working together on diffrent system MOS AROS OS4 68k see and programs must port twice or more from beginning.

I want use a modern amiga system and PPC AOS is not good enough for me, i want much software as possible and want the software run fast as possible and i dont want a highprice Hardware when i know i can emulate faster as this hardware.

here can see how fast it can be.this test do much memtransfer and when 68k emulate on X86 much byteswap need do.but its very fast

and this i can realize most easy when AOS is more and more increase with AROS Parts

I do that for my usage only, and i need no money but i need time, have many hobbies, so also when pay money i do not replace all AOS3 code with AROS code so AFA can boot without AOS components.

sure i know many from PPC side bashes against AFA and say it is crap because it is a patch, but everybody can test it on a UAE AFA run stable and there are no Bugs known currently.

but there is still the kickrom replace bounty

SDL for AGA is something i miss, all apps are RTG these days, disregarding the fact that AGA is good enough with

you can use SDL with AGA, when you use the CGX AGA driver.

the speed is of course not good, but the speed when use AGA and SDL is always worse because AGA use bitplanes and SDL use only chunky pixels.

the convert from planar to chunky is always a slow process
and next problem is that most users that have no GFX card on their amiga have a slow system.

SDL get popular when the CPU speed on X86 was over 100 MHZ.

so use a sdl program on a 020 or 030 CPU and AGA is really unusable slow.

I bought some game for my laptop - HoM&M V - and it didn't work because of the embedded Intel graphics.  But this is just a game, I got rid of the box, end of story.

then you seem have a very old intel graphic.the 945 chipset is used in imica too and when AROS on this work, then it should work on all this many systems that use intel 945 chipset.but what always not good, there is no compatibility list of AROS HW.I think every user who get AROS running native should report his system, so a list can make and i thik that show that AROS run on much hardware types

but even if AROS not work native, it can use on linux or vmware and on PPC Hardware.

CPU is native and not emulate, and on a notebook that have 2* faster clockrate as a AOS PPC Hardware software should run faster.

but whats miss are programmers that support AROS with programs.
the marketing is also bad on AROS in compare to PPC AOS.

for example YAM run on AROS but there is no news or screenshot until now see.

I am not the only one who wishes to have an AGA Picasso96 driver. It would be the best thing to happen!

cgx is lots faster, because of superlayer.also CGX support non rectangle layers also on 68k.
i wish more a winuae driver for CGX.

but AGA driver is for cgx here
