Amiga OS Conform Software already runs on AROS 68k

[Minuous]

It still won't run most OS3.5/3.9 software, so still not useful for any practical purpose IMO.

It defeats the point of an AmigaOS replacement if you still need to add components from AmigaOS. Why not just use AmigaOS then?

Software like MCE, Report+, AmiArcadia, etc. requires ReAction rather than ClassAct as they use some additional features that are not present in ClassAct.

Because it upsets you, that alone makes it worth while - IMO.

Trolling again eh obviously...why am I not surprised...

It's disappointing that AROS is lacking, but hardly upsetting. I just use the real thing instead.

I just don't like the way they conveniently omit that the version of AmigaOS they replicate is 25 years obsolete and modern "Amiga OS Conform Software" is actually not supported, it's misleading.

What AROS does is replicate the APIs, not the the software that the OS shipped with - all APIs are in place for also Reaction to run

ReAction itself is part of the API. By your line of reasoning AROS (or indeed AmigaOS itself) is just really exec.library, all APIs are in place for the rest of the system components to run.

And it is a wider issue than just ReAction: there are other features in OS3.9 and last time I checked AROS implemented few of them.

Anyways - AROS moves on with or without you, you can mix and match with "real" AmigaOS all you like.

AmigaOS moved on 20 years ago, it is AROS that still hasn't.

I couldn't work on AROS for the same reason as Thomas, we are already working on the official OS.

Many years ago I was interested in adding some OS3.5+ functionality to AROS, but the AROS team did not seem interested in anything beyond 3.1 so I didn't bother.
