AmiZilla
« on: February 19, 2004, 04:40:26 PM »
Is the AmiZilla project still alive?  I've been trying to acces their web page at http://www.discreetfx.com/AmiZilla.html
but I keep getting an error that the host name cannot be resolved.  Is this page still up?  I'm staring to think that the firewall here at work causing more problems for me.

Ditto, no firewall here though :-)  Either their DNS is screwed or someone forgot to pay their domain registration.

Works here, no problems. Seems you both have a DNS problem then.

Try the IP.

There's a mailing list for the project.  I unsubscribed from it a few months ago because things were a bit quiet, but activity tended to go in fits and bursts anyway.

mikeymike:screenshots is important atm , because of the last news discreetFX gave us.

they plan on simplefying it or it might happen.

it might be based upon AWEB! or voyager ..

also i know 2 of the guys who made progress in the first months and they LEFT the project , so i am just questioning if its ONLY TALK or if there is actually someone working on it.

i dont support them if they will use AWEB engine (and add functions as plugs) , voyager is something every amiga user should ignore as they are MORPHOS only and will stay that way it seems as the coder have no 68k system to produce anything on.

so i would say, LIFE IS ABOUT SCREENSHOTS! and real ones would be nice and not some lame mockups...

the bubble bursted a few months after the project was started when people belived they would have an AGA / 68k version out in beta form just after a few months , thats when i started to call it FICTION!..

amizilla is a HUGE project and at this rate its bound to take another 10 months of hardwork before we will even see a screenshot of it working imho!.

i say all this as want amizilla managment to jump in and tell us whats going on! and if we should stop waiting for it...

Does anyone know if there is a public cvs for the Amiga port of Mozilla?  If there is, where can I find it?  I was hoping to take a look and possibly help out if there is a good project started already.

Pray, why this anomisity??? In case you haven't already noticed, there are a couple programs out there made on a Pegasos, which has 68K version as well, actually happily running on classic Amiga computers.

Your blind hatred maybe makes you forget that MorphOS is AmigaOS API compatible, and has a JIT 68K emulator builtin, and that C compilers can easily produce 68K code...

With your reasoning everyone would have to avoid and ignore the AmigaONE and OS4, as it is not a 68K system. My gosh...

warface:ah yeah ok , weird that since i happen to know the guys behind voyager and there is no 68k update comming anytime soon.

and i know what morphos is , no need to give me any lectures.

also this wasnt about voyager beeing morphos only, this was about the browsers they choosed for amizilla development,
or wanted to anyway, and we all should know by now that its been publicly announced that 1. the author doesnt have an AMIGA anymore, he has an pegasos only.  2. there is no plans for an 68k update atm.

sure i could make up some stories just to get everyone happy but it wont happen aslong as there is no proof of amizilla still in the works ..

i for one would love to see amizilla, its the next best thing after os4! , we really need it but people who claim its alive and kicking should really show up with some news/info.
