NATAMI status?
« on: January 21, 2009, 05:47:27 PM »
Does anybody know the status of the NatAMI project? I thought there was supposed to be a release of the first board around Christmas this year... Is the project dead? On Hold? Does anybody have any info? I am on the list but have not heard anything since the confirmation e-mail a year ago...

I believe the project is still very much going strong.  They recently answered a couple questions I had about compatibility with classic software.  They also updated some spelling errors on their front page about a week ago.  -Dave

Christmas of this year is still another 11 months away.

Give them that time to finish something concrete and tangible. :-D
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

I guess this is tangible :

Here

It is real and the delay is due to:
1- Limited number of developers
2- Change in Specs

Well one thing that tends to kill a lot of projects as constant change of specs.

Develop one thing first and later update it.. Get some thing done, that people can actually buy.

There is a chipset simulator that is allowing them to write software for the SuperAGA core even before it's ready.  For details see Natami.net.

You've gotta wonder what is going on. NatAmi is supposed to be a 68k Amiga clone with extensions. They have an open source program already written in the form of WinUAE and rather than taking it, adding SuperAGA functions and producing something for the community they write their own simulator which is not Amiga compatible??

Something smells fishy!

Combine that with the total technical drivel on their forums and you've gotta wonder WTF?
