MorphOS 3.0 released - PowerBook G4 support and new pricing

[itix]

I would just erase it and reformat it for MorphOS. I still have dual boot option on my Mac mini and it never gets used.

There are some API extensions in OS 3.9 which made it to OS 4.0. Mostly AVL stuff in Exec and some Workbench extensions. AROS and MorphOS on the other hand dont implement 3.9 API.

But I agree that drawing is giving an impression that AROS is stuck at 3.9 level. It is misleading in many ways.

@Fats

Ah, thanks.

Would you please put down your cheerleader's pom pom's, TMHG?

We get it, you're a fan.  It's an OS.  We don't need it crammed up our asses by you nonstop.

It's a general Amiga forums and all you do is spam your view of the divine future while **** talking the alternatives.  Enough, it's worse than the C-USA threads.

To be honest while tmhgm sometimes has a habit to repeat obvious again and again that message he posted about MorphOS 3.0 was perfectly on topic.

In an ironic sort of way MOS vs AROS is like Windows 3.1 vs Workbench 3.1. Most people never even got the chance to try WB 3.1 because they only had x86 rubbish, but they could try Win 3.1 for free without buying different alien hardware that becomes a financial liability if they didn't like it.

I agree that buying PowerPC dongle is way too much to some or many users but apparently it is not too big problem.

(Btw your WB3.1 vs Win3.1 theory is rubbish. Latter had much better software support and there was OS/2 sold as alternative option.)

Hi,

Anyone know if MorphOS will play the Classic Amiga Games, if so anyone have a list of games it will play.

Only those not hitting directly the hardware run. That is mostly RTG and PPC games from late 90s or some simpler PD games from early times.

If you want your Kick Off 2 fix I think it is better use WinUAE.

Indeed, WinUAE rules, however 1GHz+ PPC is fast enough to run most games in UAE. Anyway I wouldnt recommend MorphOS if main intention is to run UAE.
