MorphOS ahead of AROS?

[Terminills]

Who cares what others say? Test it out yourself. A x86 is easy to grab, some PowerMac as well (if you happen to not like MorphOS dump it off again to ebay). AROS is freely available, MorphOS Demo as well. The good thing about AROS and MorphOS is that the hurdles to get a 1st hand experience are pretty low and nothing's better than a 1st hand experience.

lol I think Mazze knows that.


@Mazze

Trouble maker.

As for the question.  My Morphos box is the perfect size to level my dryer  Other than that who cares.   I use them both I however prefer my AROS boxes even tho they aren't as polished.   To quote a friend of mine finished OS' bore me.

[Terminills]

By the way...



I've read several times from the black furry propaganda department that 3D support in AROS is so way ahead. Care to elaborate?

Could you refrain from using the "furry" reference. :rofl:

[Terminills]

Well, it is accurate after all:

:rofl: yeah that is mildly disturbing... >.< however I wouldn't call AROS users/ trolls furies

To be fair I wouldn't call morphos users smurfs either.

[Terminills]

I didnt mean it too seriously Wondering how Mesa and Gallium3D in AROS would compare with TinyGL/Goa in MorphOS.

I would say it's almost impossible to compare until either MorphOS gets an Nvidia driver or AROS gets a Gallium ATI driver.  But my guess would be this.   TinyGL/Goa is faster on the hardware it supports.  However Mesa supports more recent versions of OpenGL and more advanced features.

[Terminills]

Yeah, though at least smurfs have pants.

this is true. lol

[Terminills]

Oh, to close this whole argument, "Is MorphOS ahead of AROS?".

MorphOS current revision 2.7.

Aros? It hasn't reached revision 1.0 yet.

Ahead? Yes, obviously.
Why does this matter?
Who brings up these silly decisive topics?

pfft shows how much you know about AROS.  



See says 1.61 right there.  

[Terminills]

1.61? So we're no longer dealing with a beta product and all libraries are now complete?

:rofl:


Apparently you didn't get the joke.

because Morphos is 2.7 and AROS isn't even 1.0 correct?   You obviously don't get how foolish that sounded.  If that's the case AmigaOS is at 4.1 so therefore because it's version number is 1.4 higher it must be better correct?

[Terminills]

Nope, didn't get the joke.
Must have a different sense of humor, because MorphOS' and OS4's revision numbers make sense to me.
The first number is for major revisions and the second number for minor enhancements.
The different product revision numbers aren't related to each other.

And yet you've been asked to back up your claims.  And you have nothing.  AROS crashes just sitting there?  Are you for real?   I call bull****.   My AROS box has been up running and being used for over a month without a crash or reboot.  

What libraries are missing?  I'd like a list(Please go ahead and point me to the status page that hasn't been updated in 2-3 years.).  I'll be sure to get it back to the dev team so they work on it for you.

[Terminills]

Interesting idea.
Leave, post, do whatever.
As I've mentioned, I'm using AROS on a system I built just for that purpose.
And it has greatly improved since the last time I tried it (I can actually use it now - and lo and behold it actually installs!).

This is obviously the user.   I was able to install AROS fine with no problems for years.   So it's not AROS it's the user in my opinion.  


As for touchy nope.   Not touchy at all.   But if you are going to claim something is missing could you at least give a real example.   For ****s sake I don't recall any AROS user claiming AROS is perfect I think most if not all understand it has a ways to go.  But the whole my dick is bigger than yours bs is a joke.   As I stated before not only am I an AROS user I'm also a MorphOS user.  I even said MorphOS is more polished.

About 3D in AROS...

oooo purdy.

what were we talking about again?

[Terminills]

Sure I can run AROS from 20-core-AMD-you-don't-need-no-heating-anymore down to some obscure ARM-SOC (but I have to be ultracarefull to choose the right HW when I don't want to go hosted), but what than
Run those same old 3D-demos at 400fps ?? Or maybe that minimalistic OWB-version (as long as Wanderer doesn't

All 3 flavours allready have enough HW to run on, whats missing is the SW to make the systems really useable and in the field I see MorphOS clearly ahead (to some great extent due to Fab's OWB).

I can also play 3d games that require shaders etc on my AROS box.    As for Odysessy THANKFULLY fab isn't like many users.   He seems to see the advantage of co-operation and it was ported to both AROS and AOS4(Currently both AROS and AOS4. Need video support.).  BTW it seems the advantage of X86 is showing already since it seems some people are already testing the JIT enabled version for AROS(not claiming this is AROS' advantage merely an X86 one.).  

BTW isn't wireless support for MorphOS coming from the work done on AROS?

[Terminills]

All three NG Amiga platforms already have ports of MPlayer, which offers practically the same video support as VLC.

VLC is much more advanced than mplayer.  If you have any doubts just look up people trying to use a hdhomerun with mplayer vs vlc.   I personally would love to have the latest version on AROS with libbluray support.

[Terminills]

Sorry for making so many responses, (to much caffeine).
VLC doesn't support encrypted blurays so its not too useful for playing that format.

yes it does

[Terminills]

OMG! That's fantastic!
Well, that product just keeps getting better.
No wonder I haven't needed Media Player under Windows for the last several years.

I was to lazy to post a link to the tutorial on how to do it.  That plus I didn't want to get yelled at over the whole it could be used for piracy issue.

[Terminills]

You're right, it's not a G5, the X1000 was designed by the Far East Movement:

As I said before, practically the same, not exactly the same. As Fab pointed out, both MPlayer and VLC rely heavily on FFMPEG. Other than the BluRay support you pointed out, I can't think of much that MPlayer can't play. In fact, it looks like MPlayer does support encrypted BluRays with a workaround:

Multicast video streaming also comes to mind.   I can't watch my network tv tuner with Mplayer but I can with VLC.
