Time for AROS and Natami ?

@bloodline

the existing software can't use anything beyond what the AGA chipset provides.

Exactly...

And for any current software to take advantage of the new graphics modes, new audio modes or 3D, you'd first need to write RTG drivers, AHI drivers and Warp3D drivers.

Those things don't just drop out of the sky. You can easily spend years on 3D drivers alone.

@piru: i do not know. im not interrested in c_one or c64 as such for that matter. i was spectrum48 owner

no, serious: i think jens just want to sell some c-ones since they didnt get off once before

They could "just" add a CGX/P96 and W3D drivers. If the hardware delivers it should be faster while keeping compatability.

Well in theory at least. Let's just wait and see if they ever deliver any hardware.

No FPGA in use right now will ever be as fast as even the cheapest GFX card you can buy...

If I want to run RTG software I use UAE... that way I can use the newest GFX card I own...

in a soft-render mode?

With the P96 UAECard drivers... better than my BVision...

@bloodline: sure, but uae somehow always let me wait for something, be it displaying characters i have just put in. as i have already stated i would take any hw bwe it intel but i cant stand windows underneath.

How is AROS doing fine? Care to elaborate? From my perspective it isn't usable as everyday OS yet and I have as much hope in that as NatAmi currently.

Well I've seen nothing but a dodgy photo of some electronics, which claim to be "NetAMI"... AROS though, I can happily download an install on my Computer works fine... I can play with the provided software, certainly it's about as useful as my Amigas...

That is just prejudice. I suffer no such arrogance.

[wawrzon]

no prejudice allthough i might be consider arrogant (sometimes). i use windows allright for what i need it. but, im not gonna pay ms to be able to run amiga, not after recent experience.

No need to give M$ any money (I don't), run UAE in Linux, or my choice: OSX

[wawrzon]

nor apple for that matter. i consider aos or compatible an alternative not an (questionable) extention or an abstraction layer for existing os'es.

One thing that aros is doing right!! booting!!!

Ah, the smell of vapourware in the morning....
