Hyperion Blog Update: AmigaOS 4.1 Classic Video

Looks very quick for me, especially when you consider:
CS-PPC is 233MHz - that's a Pentium class.
No L2 cache - that makes a large difference
These icons are not the same icons as you had on WB 2.0! They're full colour ones.

Very good work, if you ask me.

Hmm... I don't get what all you guys are getting excited about here, for one thing it's running on a PPC604 & Radeon GFX card of some kind...

Now my BlizzardPPC is only a 603 and I have no GFX card, so just how many of you guys are using a 604 PPC and Radeon GFX card on your A1200s, and how many folk out there have such a set up to run this on, not many I would think.

Wonder how many copies Hyperion expect to sell !!!

Methinks you'll be sorely disappointed if you see it running on a 603 & no GFX card just like OS4.0 was disappointing on such a set up...

OS 4 was never meant for running without a graphics card...
I'll probably keep my Voodoo III rather than the Radeon because I want to use 3.9 sometimes too.

Seriously though, if you want to run OS 4 at its best you need a graphics card: remember OS4 dates from a few years or so ago, your A1200 has a graphics chipset that was slow 18 years ago!
