App for OS4

[Tafka]

Hi Guys,

I am itching to get my hands on an AmigaOne/OS4 to start developing for it but as I can no longer wait I thought I would start now.  Assuming reaction hasn't changed much, the source should be similar.

The only problem is, I don't know what!  :-D

So, does anyone have any ideas for small to medium apps that they would like to see on OS4.  I'll have a go at most things.

A tracker like Renoise (Renoize?).

A vector drawing program.

A port of Vice (very good C64 emu).

A port Visual Boy Advance (GameBoyAdvance Emu).

A GUI for UCON64. ROM<>ANY Console.

A port of Mozilla

well.. enuff... =)

Vector drawing program, that sounds interesting (as I work for a CAD company as a software engineer).

What sort of vector drawing program?  You mean like full CAD?

Hey

A good app for OS4?
It'd have to be "APRIL" - the spoof Picture previewing software as posted on Amiga.org as an April fools joke - it stands for AmiPR ImageLayers - I fell for it competely (I even emailed Mason with ideas and suggestions for the next release..)

However it would be damn cool if somebody could do this - however I dont really think it would be an easy job, particularly when you are talking about hacking/programming into an OS...

If you want more info about the program that "doesn't exist"...goto :

Would probably be best if you tried making a working example on OS3.1/3.5/3.9 First though as you cant get your hands on OS4 !

Hehe, the effort some people go to for a joke!

As for the vector drawing program..
I meant like Illustrator for the Amiga.

[Tafka]

Ahh, okay.

I'll investigate it.

[JoNty]

Video encoders, DVD decrypters etc.

There's many open source and commircial programs on other systems, but not on the Amiga.

It's not on.

Okay, keep them coming...  Video stuff is one I've already started thinking of because that is what I use the PC for mostly at the moment and I'd really like to use the Amiga instead.

I've just thought of one that would be useful to me.  A proper transparent (non-samba) network layer for communicating with Windows across a LAN.  

So that the drives on the Amiga are available in network neighborhood (sic) and the PC is available as a device on the Amiga.

Hmmm, interesting one.  I'll have to have a think about that.

There is A LOT to do in the cli commands area. Now it depends if you prefer a huge app like the one listed above or small programs like those....

Okay, name some, I'll consider anything  :-D

VirtualDub is one program that I'd love to see on OS4.
It's released under the GNU license, so if you've got any spare time..............................

BTW, a TMPGenc clone would be quite handy as well.

[Paul_Gadd]

VirtualDub 1.3 (no version over) and TMPGEnc are great programs which Amiga NEEDS.

Also a News binaries grabber program what will do Yenc, and something for PAR files.

[filson]

A good programmers editor with plugin capabilities for stuff like refactoring and real expressions. loads of GNU stuff out there. You could even take on Eclipse :-) /me thinks too big/

A sample editor like ACID or a ogg player.
Or perhaps a port of Mozilla?

A WinRAR clone for all the sneaky compression formats.
