AmigaOne/OS4 Compatibility List
« on: February 08, 2004, 02:42:27 PM »
The OS4 Compatibility list goes live, please contribute to it if you can.

The unofficial AmigaOne/OS4 compatibility list is a database of pre-OS4 software that has been tested with OS4.0 (currently beta and pre-release) on the AmigaOne. You can search for particular applications or games and check the version number and compatibility against your collection. You can also add to the database any software you have tested (please do this as the database relies on input). This database is intended to be useful to both AmigaOne owners who intend to purchase pre-OS4 software titles, and non-AmigaOne owners who would like to upgrade.

Please contribute as much as possible as an empty database is no use to anybody!

I was rather hoping some of the beta-testers would, and then the pre-releasers (me included) can add stuff en masse when it finally arrives (which I predict will be "Real Soon Now TM"  :-))

Yes, I was thinking that too. Apparently not even the poster has put anything on the database.


I would love to, but not being a beta-tester and not having the pre-release CD in my hands, I can't really add much.  There are apps out there which have been demo'd and I know work (see alx's Amiga Wiki page), but I don't know which versions they are, or whether they are working 100% correctly.

So, it makes it difficult, but as soon as the pre-release is available there should be an influx, and it is better that people know about this before they start installing things, than trying to retrospectively add and recall what they needed to do to get something to work, etc...

Is an OS4 compatibility list really necessary? It should run 99% or more of system friendly programs supporting AHI and CGX/P96. If it can't, then it's in trouble.


Uh-huh.  And would you like to say with 100% certainty which particular pieces of software are fully OS legal, without testing them?  With newer software it is fairly easy, but there is a lot of older stuff which never made such claims and it is difficult to tell whether they will work without problems.

btw hardware compatibility list is here, although I think details of actual OS4 support are lacking currently.

@MagicSN

Good idea, I'll add a link to that (and AHS) this evening.
