As far as I know Ratte was stopped due to some copyright discussion with Elbox. :-(
Maybe they could be convinced to opensource Warp3D then. That is also the only solution that has any kind of an future.Just trying to sense the mood - and find a way :-)
So does anyone have those banned drivers handy for Amithlon? I'd REALLY like to get my hands on them. I'd rather have a better Amithlon over OS 4 any day at this point, especially considering the company politics... makes me not want to support them in the least.
Just to set the record straight: The "they" in "they stopped Ratte" referred to Elbox, not Hyperion. Hyperion has absolutely nothing to do with this.Boring detail, I know. Let's bash Hyperion anyway.
You replied to Kickstart, who was talking about the party who stopped Ratte. Maybe I should have replied to him instead, to make things clearer.If you're still complaining about Hyperion not supporting you more than a decade after they made it perfectly clear they had zero interest to do so, something's badly wrong with the platform you're supporting. As in: "dead".As for Hyperion not producing W3D drivers for OS3: If you really need somebody to give you a vague promise right now, post a useless status update in twelve months and insult you for being ungrateful dicks two years from now on - I can do that aswell, no need to wait for official support from Hyperion. We could also include some prepayment scheme to complete the experience.
Ok, guys. Lets keep this cool. :-)I asked - in the 1. post. - if there was any interest in a bounty for better Radeon (with Warp3D) drivers for OS3.9.I can now conclude that there is very little interest, and that there is substantial problems in getting Elbox and Hyperion to play ball. Instead people point to Aros for 68K as a possible solution for better Radeon support.Lets focus the discussion on how this could be done.wawrzon describes the status to be:Compile Mesa for Aros 68k: first as software done, but not working correctly yet. Its the same on other v1 platforms. have bothered deadwood about a fix without resultMake (hardware) gallium works with it on Aros 68k (pci stuff...): Partly done, pci half implemented, pending since long even though sonic has promised to look into it. apparently the interrupts are still missing.Recompile Wazp3D-Aros (that already include an OpenGL renderer) on Aros 68k: It compiles for 68k. Alas it doesnt work, crashes afair. may that be the reason why aros wazp3d is much bigger than your genuine 68k compile?Is this correct?
I think Wazp3D works on Aros 68k. I have installed it together this with Sormmesa2010 and run the old "Stormmesa-Demos".
Now I understand it better. Its because new developed software points that have pushed MOS and OS4 forward will never get 68k compiled, and you are advised to move PPC, which you dislike.Well, since those components are only things that do make a difference and move ahead, its understandable why they will not do it.To be honest, would also like its one great (open source or not) OS, be it 68k,PPC or x86 (or all tree) but that is unlikely to happen.
Maybe so... but it's going to be a LONG wait the way things are going.
