OS4 betatester demonstrating the native P96 graphics drivers

[Rogue]

Its just a recompilation of the currnt 68k version of P96 or its totally/partial new stuff?

This is largely a recompilation, although large parts of P96 have originally been written in 68k Assembler. These have been ported back to C. Some stuff is new/improved.

Was that build of OS4 likely to be without IDE DMA, out of interest?  If not, I guess it adds to the impressiveness of the graphics responsiveness :-)

For me this was breathtaking.

It reminded me of the importance of the original graphics system which enabled the Amiga to get noticed originally.

Good work

To be honest, I dunno. I would guess it was using DMA, but I can't be sure.

The free version of DivX Pro is ad supported. The standard (non-Pro) codec linked above is clean.

I used a spybot to remove the crap from it after i installed it .also i think the latest xvid can do divx.

That demo was pretty impressive speed wise.  Good enough for me.  :-)

It is very fast indeed, but the video seems to be faked.

Posted by a guy that used an anonymizer to hide his identity...

No, the video is not faked. Just compare the speed of Quake at the end of the Video - it runs at normal speed.

Here is a better quality video: http://uniweb.free.fr/os4/os4morequal.avi

I just had to register in this forum as wel.
The last video is as fast as the other and it cant be fake.
Wel it can but, if you listen to the sounds when i type it`s acurate to the vodeo and it sounds 100% normal. He also types fast but not un-normal fast.
