Nonsense. Of course, you can't run AGA stuff on the AmigaOne, but on the classics, you can access the custom chips exactly like you can access them with OS3.

This applies to direct hardware access as well as access through the system. graphics.library is still there, and even though parts of it are rewritten, the core parts that deal with planar displays are still there, so you can also access AGA via the system.

Just like old times...


I can confirm that DPaint IV AGA, Octamed, Protracker etc., all of which are hardware banging run just fine under OS4 on the blizzardppc.

I didn't get syndicate working yet, but to be fair it had problems on the 040 on my blizzard in any case.
