Each to thier own, but this whole Natami thing is kinda ho-hum to me. The only interesting part about it is the potential to replace the aging classic hardware, but there's other options for that too. The idea of "Superaga" is far from exciting to me. Yay, there's hardware that's only 10 years out of date, woohoo  :P  A better idea to me would have been to simply add some sort of rtg system/hardware to the machine, this way there's actually some advantage to the software available (existing 68k titles that use rtg). I mean really, where is all this "super aga" enhanced stuff supposed to come from? With all of 4.2 games original amiga games made in the last 5 years why would there all of a sudden be new software just because there's moderately enhanced retro hardware available? Additionally the 2 meg chip ram hardly leaves much room for enhanced graphics. ECS/AGA got away with it due to low resolutions and low color depth, up the resolution to even 800x600x24 and 2 meg is nigh on useless. I actually emailed them twice, roughly 12 months and 6 months ago mentioning I was interested in developing for it but received nothing in return (not even a thanks, but no thanks email). From everything Ive seen so far it seems to me that its a project more or less soley for the people behind it, which is fine, stringing others along for the ride however isnt so fine.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. Little bit negative, probably, but it is my opinion.

I just dont see the point of natami anymore and your right - 2mb chip ram is not enough...its between MOS, AOS, AROS.

Id prefer AROS to be leading the pack
