Scala on MorphOS/OS4?
« on: October 25, 2007, 04:04:06 PM »
 Will I be able to run Scala (outside of emulation) on any of the new Amiga incarnations?

No not outside of emulation as Scalla relise on the classic chipsets.

However there is another program you can use for that type of Work its called Holywood I think.

Hollywood with the Malibu plugin will accomplish what you desire.

Are there any members here that have experience using Hollywood Designer and/or Malibu?

A review of it from an independent third party (not affiliated with Airsoft) would be helpful.

How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Scala would lose the advantage on OS4/amigaone anyways... What mada scala on amiga special, was the smooth scrolling thanks to the amiga custom chipset. All this is lost on OS4  :-(

Another reason why the Minimig chips should be applied in new ways on new Amiga's if possible. Or a Minimig with more RAM and better CPU.

@XDelusion

Having tested Scala on Win, its very much the same but more, more, more advanced.

Yes, Scala has been around Windows for a long time now, but it doesnt come cheap!. It has diversified in many products and enhancements, the low profile ones cost about 600 USD, but they are really cool and top notch.
Hollywood has its good points, many, but then its too pricey for me(over 100 EURO) with what i would call a basic setup. They sell you the programing language+compiler, but to get a GUI you have to pay more euro, the same applies for the malibu plugin, which is not totally compatible with Scala
If you find Scala InfoChannel 500, you get a better deal. It is available for download somewhere on the net. It has networking and billing capabilities that Hollywood doesnt have
On the performance issue, yes, it is right, it was made hitting the Amiga chipset, so it doesnt take advantage of OS4, but unlike someone said previously, it works beautifully with it.
On the other hand Scala has a better designed GUI, more accesible to the casual user, and it is totally integrated.
Another interestingly good alternative is VideoFX 2.0, available directly from the developers, ClassX Development.

Hope it somehow helps!
