Amigadave,

Thinking about it I did mail a few people about licenses but didn't get a response. I need to follow up.

The big thing now is the complete re-write of the codebase. Jakub is doing great with the new additions, but I am restructuring and cleaning up all the older code.

There is a risk of the code being re-used, but that's what you get with open source code....

I fully expect to increase the performance of the internal CPU as well.
/Mike

Amiga Inc. don't own the rights anymore do they? I thought everything was deemed to be the property of Hyperion following the court case?

With the Kickstart ROM replacement work being done there may be no need for a license soon.

Exactly sell it with free open source Boot-ROM and OS. And get rid of the whole issue. Doesn't seem reasonable to be responsible for user actions.

(any link where to download this AROS m68k ROM?)

aros.org has a download link for nightlies, or you can get the latest WinUAE beta's - WinUAE now comes with a "built in" AROS ROM.

OS4 is the only thing Hyperion owns.

I think Cloanto is the place to be. The AresOne is sold with a Amiga Forever OEM version for the kickstart ROMs in the UAE emulation under AROS.

Pretty sure that's not true.

Selling the FPGA Replay Board with an OEM copy of AmigaForever would probably be the simplest solution, until the Kickstart replacement is completed.

I don't think Cloanto has rights to do that.

And the one you designed is how fast again?  :)

Why do people have to be so negative about positive things...

It's not Natami.  It is as fast as it was designed to be...

I'm happy with that..

you think this comparison looks bad for the fpga arcade (especially the softcore is still wip) and i was going to bash it? i quoted a 060/100 (there is only one such yet to my knowledge) and a regular 060/50, which is the fastest official reference amiga hardware there is. which means the softcore could have yet a realistic chance to catch up with 060 given some improvements. which in turn may support the theory that natami core could in fact be even faster. good things are going on. why do you people always try to assume an intended insult is beyond me.

Prety sure it is.

Means they have a license to use AmigaOS 3.1 for development and marketing of AmigaOS 4 and above.

Doesn't mean they own it, it actually means they don't own it, but they have the right to use it.

thats what i expect as well. thanks.
aros 68k is progressing well so i think soon there is an kickstart replacement for everyday use. even if 100% compatibility is a tough goal.

That's a mistake on my end then.  I'm guessing it's just a language barrier issue..

It certainly sounded like (and still does when I re-read it, but maybe that's just me) a negative comment about the speed.

Since that wasn't intended, mea maxima culpa...  :)

i think the speed comparison is unpartial. depends what you read into it yourself, i think. tobiflex is also still working on his core, even if he admitted not to be so much motivated at times. bitfield instructions are being implemented.

Does the hardware provide direct access to the digital audio within the audio logic?
Real Amigas have integrated DACs, so there's no way to get digital audio output, but it should be possible to bypass the DACs in FPGA implementations of the platform.

Having digital audio to go along with the digital video signal would be really nice.
