Classic VS NG

[itix]

Reliability is another factor, with all those different hacks/patches running it feels unstable now and then. The most annoying part is getting RTG/AGA switching working with WHDLoad, which wouldn't really be a problem with an NG.

On NG you have to maintain alternate AmigaOS setup in UAE to run AGA games. It can be floppy based if you prefer or use WHDLoad/RTG like on your old Amiga.

flash will stay no go anyway also on ng, same for java i guess and javascript may today be too heavy fro whatever amigalike except maybe aros x86

PPC is certainly fast enough to run most Javascript sites.

@itix - Possible to copy over an existing setup from my current A1200 and run it I guess? That would mean I wouldn't have to make too many changes.

You still have same issues maintaining dual AGA/RTG setup when trying to run old games and demos with WHDLoad. So in the end you ave nothing.

For gaming purposes and watching old demos it could be better idea strip down Amiga from RTG and make it AGA only setup. NG is better reserved to RTG stuff if you want that.

So I had a look for a mac mini locally but can only find a 32MB version. I'm guessing the 64MB is rare?

It is very rare. Only 500,000 units were built which is not many, really.
