A WinRAR clone for all the sneaky compression formats.

Xadmaster library does that nicely.

Ahh, VirtualDub and TMpeg, where would I be without those.  TMpeg has got some really good MPG splicing functions (without re-encode).

Download Manager like DAP is good idea too.  

Good stuff guys, keep it coming.

TMpeg/DAP probably about right size I was thinking of.

Sample Editor is a nice one too.  I'm in danger of getting too many ideas here!

SH!T Man, do anything. If anything , you're just adding one to a viable gene pool of coders. I do like your idea on having the ability to see the Amiga and PC on a network.  Seriously, it's all about the applications. I can handle not having alot of apps to chose from for OS4.0, 'cos so many of the older ones should run better than before. With the push back of OS4.0's release date, this just gives more developers time to develop good software. Isn't that what it's all about??

I would love an Amiga style vector animation package that saves .SWF. Flash and Live Motion are cack to use. By Amiga style I mean user friendly and intuitive.

These apps feel more like accountancy spreadsheet apps rather than apps for creating art.

For example make a change to a frame and it automatically becomes a keyframe. No more Adding a keyframe before you draw nonesense.

or

A 3d model preview, so LWO, 3ds, Obj, iges etc can be identified easily.

All the best

I`ve been designing (on and off) a huge image manipulation and paint package for ages. Not medium to small though. I wish I could (be bothered) to program! :cry:

A port of UAE would be great, but you'd probably need more info on the OS4 API's.  And it'd be great if someone ported OpenOffice, Mozilla or Bochs.  If you could port the first two, I'd be able to trash my PeeCee for everything except for games. :-D

Häääääääh ???

Whats so special about a port of UAE ?

You just take the AOS-68k,WOS, or MOS-version (MOS should be
that best start) and force it through gcc.

Thats it !

O.k. maybe you were thinking about a JIT-version, but be advised:
Better forget that ....

It'd be a disgrace if OS4 didn't have one :-)

I don't know how simple it would be to do a straight port, but what would be really great is basically the opposite of ^mithlon - throw out most stuff except for custom chip emulation, and then use it with the virtualised memory in OS4 for legacy compatibility.  But I'm guessing that there isn't any documentation about how to use the new memory features.

How about a multi-track hard-disk recorder? people are becoming more an more interested in home recording (and it would be nice if I didn't have to buy a Korg D-16 *and* could rid myself of Windows all at once  :-D )

@alx
Now that sound like a really stupid idea .....


How much SW is outthere that requires OCS/AGA AND the power
of a CPU faster than UAE could provide ? And how many of those
would actually run on such a setup ?

And do you have even the slightest idea how much work it would
be to adapt UAE this way ?

Gigantic waste of resources for virtually no benefit, probraly
even worse something slowing the OS down and making it less
stable .......

Basically, from what I've heard, it would be possible to put in a background task (not hard-coded into the OS) that would read the "chip" memory and act on it.  Because the 68k emulation is not sandboxed, any older AGA programs would be able to utilise the new features of OS4.

But I'm not much of a programmer, and don't know how (if at all) it'd be done.  So no, I dont have "even the slightest idea how much work it would be to adapt UAE this way ".  If it would be really hard (and it sounds like it), then just forget it :-)

/me wonders how often he has to hear the word "sandboxed"
completly out of context .......

A 68k programm is an 68k programm and therefore it has now
idea on what kind (or if on any at all) of emulation it runs.

The only think that "not sandboexed" means is that both
protected and non-protected apps run on the same kernel in the
same mem-space nothing more. Also means that it is allways
possible for an unprotected app to damage the kernel.

Preventing that is the MAIN reason for using a sandox.


edit:

But to stop it here:
Better write replacements for the SW that won't run without
the chipset than trying to run it by force.
