I do remember the menu bar thing looking pretty bad in 16 colors though..


The Dock thing? Thats mostly what stuck out. The icons were decent. For some reason they seem kind of uneven, but that could have been a botched install.

Yeah the dock looks crap if you use the texture background. Also the dock takes lots of chip ram iirc.  I'm actually running 3.9 bb 2 on my spec in my sig. NTSC laced res 16 colors.

On my 50mhz 030 3.9 was horribly slow with 256 colors using a scandoubler to do 800x600. 16 was pretty usable though.

I miss real hardware, but I really like my dedicated amiga emulation pc. 3.9 in emulation is nice. Its slick and fast and no issues with crazy expensive upgrades...

haywire lulz you must have typed yours same as mine. 256 is unusable even with Blizzard 1260@66mhz!  I run 16 color laced NTSC or PAL modes.

Sure 3.9 on uae is great BUT you get no cool Phat Paula sound, and cant use cool amiga hw like digitizers, samplers, etc  PLUS you have to run an energy draining noisy as hell PC rig to run it! I love my Silent A1200. No moving parts, no fans, nothing. (though I may install a fan on my 060)

I have a cybernet zpc. Its silent, small and pretty fast, I think its a 2ghz older white model. Runs most things fine.
