Hyperion Entertainment unveils dedicated AmigaOS4.0 Website

[JoannaK]

HyperionMP: With the all BS you've been spreading during years.. I'd rater wait until I see the *partner* announce this deal on their site..

[Argo]

I see the usual curmudgeons have come out to play.  Though that is an interesting piece of info from HyperionMP.

[Framiga]

eh Argo . . .thats life :-(

Since is no more possible to post as "anonimous" on ANN, they have to do something after all ;-)

>As it stands a much larger company than you can imagine has already licensed parts of OS 4.0.

What parts, the 68k JIT emu? The SNAP gfxsystem? Or the OpenGL ES implementation?

[JoannaK]

ppc4me: My bet would be the Name..  :-D

Seriously (anyone, ideas?).. Why did Hyperion spend a Lot of effort to make the site Ibrowse-compatible instead of making it CSS-compatible, if their intend real is to *sell* their product to someone at real world? Real world has Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer, real world clients don't use Ibrowse or Aweb..

Or would it be so, that os4-site was build for  entirely different cause ... To offer some (vague, misleading and at least partially false) hope to existing OS4 user base of better future.

@joannaK:

 :roll:

The site works perfectly with Opera, firefox, netscape. Some small glitches with IE maybe, but viewable.

[DFergATL]

Gee, I thought this was supposted to be a "Warm and Friendly community"

I fall into the old Amiga user catagory.  I want a new one with OS4, but where?  Also, needs to be affordable.  Now that is where I see a problem.  So, far the cost of he mobo has been way, way, way, way too much.  But, here's hoping.

"Welcome to the official website of AmigaOS4.0. Here you will find information and resources relating to the latest release of the Operating System that introduced the world to multimedia and proves the fact that so much of the computing industry has forgotten - that computers can be fun."

That is the first paragraph on the website. The site is also geared toward getting informaton to the current AmigaOS 4.0 users and current Amiga users, as well as other parties. So, making the site viewable in Amiga browsers would be a nessecity.

...boots is seconds...  
...can boot from flashram...    
sounds like it could boot from a qoob chip equipped Gamecube to me...

I've seen it boot from the memory card in a camera. with my own eyes! :-o

very impressive!
I love the idea of carrying your own AO4 on a thumb drive and plugging it in a friend's amiga. now THAT is the ultimate portability!

As it stands a much larger company than you can imagine has already licensed parts of OS 4.0.
 

That line makes me think of this line

Don't play lottery then ;-)

You got us there, Joanna. Yes, we went through the trouble of making the site IBrowse-compatible because we want to mislead Amiga users to think that there is a better future. Congrats for looking throught that charade  :-D

Thinking that we made an AmigaOS site Amiga browser compatible because we wanted Amiga users to be able to read it is quite absurd.

On a related note, I am quite sure that you or someone else would have pointed out quite the opposite if the site was NOT IBrowse compatible. Then you would probably have said something like "they are only interested in OEM deals and give rat's ass about their existing userbase". I find this mildly amusing  :roll:

@Rogue
Great site...

And i agree with you...

Thats the biggest problem that I see with you/Hyperion, you refuse to look out of the box that AmigaInc/Eyetech/Hyperion have built.  Guess it's time to pop another bag of popcorn, this is going to be a long and funny winter.

OK Rogue,
1) Can OS 4 boot from a 1.875 MB of flashrom?
2) Could an analog joystick driver be used to simulate a mouse?
3) Could it boot from a 3" 1.5GB DVD and store "permanent" settings to a flashcard?

and finally - the real question

4) Have you already booted OS4 onto the Gamecube?
4a) If not, could you?
4b) If so, what's stopping you?

[Framiga]

ah . . and may i add a custom PCI card, to cook hot-dogs, without frying it?
