Cool, keep up the good work.

@kishigo
But then how 3.x version for example will fix for us issues of our 3.5gb limitation ? I mean, it's the same stop factors for editing big videos, big rendering, etc, no ? Yes, sure, 3.x can be just faster in basics, but then, it also will lockups once you reach limit of 1.8gb +those large blocks of ExtMem where we can put some data too, but still ..

I think i firstly will make 5.2 out, then, you all can test and play with it, find it bugs, issues which we need to deal with, and then, based on users experience and real necessary tasks we will see how it.

I was just about to mention MuseScore, so +1 from here!

BTW, one more (which I don't think anybody mentioned yet?): OpenTTD (i.e. Transport Tycoon) - a newer version than the 0.something from many years ago.

If I may chime in here. I agree with @kikems. While the work done so far on Amiga Blender 5.2.2 is really impressive, I think we need to think about the user experience.
As a fanboy of Blender since about the 2.4 days, I know first hand what happens when Blender hits a hardware boundary. It's not pretty. While things have improved quite a bit,
I've managed to lock up even the most recent of Blender builds. This despite my Windows machine having 16 cores, 32 gigs of ram,
and an Nvidia 4090 gpu. Blender 5.x series is, whether Ton and Co. want to admit it, designed with those kinds of specs in mind.

While I understand that a new mult-core kernel is being developed, users of 5.x Blender are going to need more than 3.5 gigs of memory. I'm not talking about rendering either.
Simulations, geonodes, texturing, etc. require and generate a lot of data, much of it residing in memory before it gets written to cache (assuming you're baking to cache).
There are also a lot of addons available that can add to the complexity.

All in all, I'm looking forward to a new Amiga Blender. I just think we might want to keep in mind @kikems suggestion.

WTF is happening with AI the past few months is out of this world or am I dreaming and haven't woken up yet

@kas1e "...The thing which i want to do is to port QT, but with fully rewriting to reaction, with implementing missing reaction classes..."

Oh wow! That will indeed pave the way for so many useful app ports!

Add another plus to this one. Notepad+++

Some really good suggestions here. Here are my personal suggestions and my votes for others mentioned:

Games:
Age of Empires II
Rise of Nations
Sim City 4
Sid Meier's Pirates (2004)

Software:
Open Office with printer and scanner support
Non-buggy PageStream or DTP software
Final Cut Pro
Updated email client


Also in favor of any of the OS enhancements and drivers for more video cards.

I have a X5000 40 and it would be nice to be able to use all the cores, the 6gb ram, and higher end video cards to get the best OS4 experience and access to the latest software and features.

@All
In meantime fixed some nasty bugs, some speedups in menu hovering, etc.

Why not, but to say truth, on x1000/2ghz, 5.2.2 reacts quite fine too now. At least menus, basic functionality, etc. The issue with memory still will stay even with 2.x and 3.x versions, but why not, once 5.2 is out and more or less fine for at least _some_ usage, this can be done too.

@kikems
Quote:About 3-3.5 GB on AmigaOS 4.x, depending on how much physical=virtual 32 bit mapped PCI(e) address space is required, especially for the gfx card VRAM.
The old 2 GB limit of AmigaOS <= 3.9, caused by the obsolete exec AllocEntry() function, doesn't exists in AmigaOS 4.x.

But even 3 or 3.5 GB RAM is way too few for a lot of current software, incl. most web browsers, no matter if Chromium/WebKit or FireFox based, office software, blender, etc.

@Georg
Quote:It probably doesn't, private data of the task scheduler is AFAIK either in one of the SysBase->Private* fields or after EmuWS, but in any case not documented in public includes.
All important counters are uint64, with more than thousand task switches per seconds, which isn't a rare case at all on AmigaOS 4.x, especially when using obsolete software like DosPacket based file systems, 32 bit counters overflow way too soon.
Should be the same for TDNestCnt in struct Task, unless updating it was added for compatibility to some old m68k software, but even if it was the real ExecSG data is in the undocumented struct ExtendedTask (Task->tc_ETask) instead.

Comparing the ExecSG task scheduler with the ones of AmigaOS 0.x-3.9 doesn't make much sense, they are way too different.
Simple example: The ExecSG task scheduler crashes if there is no ready task as this case was never implemented

Awesome! Can’t wait to test it for video editing! Thanks Kas1e!
