Yester day I did some coding.

* Fixed the mode ID string gadget
* Overlay now works
* Full screen now works

Yet to do:

* Find out way sound does not work
* Some GUI stuff that does not work.

Some bad news:

I?m unable to do direct video access to screens, because AmigaOS does not have a GBAR colour format (Green, Blue, Alfa, Red), so colours are messed up if I try, maybe it works better in 16bit I have not tried, I have therefore decided to render in to a bitmap whit BltBitMapRastPort() this way colour conversion is done automatically (but it?s slower).

@MamePPCA1

Come on give me your ideas!
I want to configure and run especially BOCHS.
What do I have to do to run it on my system?

@joerg

I think is a good idea,but the programs integrates nicely
on the OS 4.0 enviroment.

@Mikey_C

That should also go to those who own more than one Amiga-One! Why not lend one out to those active developers or just those who'd like to give it a try!

@AmiGame

It was directly against God. That way he gets to insult everyone of all faiths with one hammer.

I, too, like the way Yahoo handled the article. I could see the tongue-in-cheek way they did it, and had to smile at that. However, as I noted earlier, I had other sources that went into more detail then Yahoo did.

No matter what he said to Yahoo, he is not simply trying to make a point. Such a thing could easily have been done without insulting 90% of the populace in the process (get together with a knowing accomplice and sue them for spilling water on you, etc). He, however, went out of his way to add insult to point.

Hi all,

With the imminant release of OS4 for the Classic Amiga series, it has become quite apparent that there is a demand of PPC Cards for Both A4000/A3000's and the A1200.

I know there are a few people who have hoarded these cards in the past and probably still have them.

So please, if your PPC equipped Amiga is no longer being used, or you have a PPC card lying in a corner without a home, consider selling it on. There is a demand for these.
You can help in increasing the OS4 userbase, plus being a bit richer in the process.

IF YOU'RE NOT USING IT. SELL IT!

Thanks!

Mhz is not just about doing coding/decoding but the ability to execute many instructions per second, if how ever memory speed is to slow you will not be able to fetch instructions in ideal speed, won?t get any ideal performance out Ghz CPU.

This effects how many programs you can run at the same time, or how well 3D game will run, but don?t get me wrong memory speed is important, not just the CPU, I think many under estimate the need for fast memory access.

Even so I think Sam440 will be able to run full screen DivX, videos, play your MP3?s and surf the web, and all that, but for 3D video rendering or some like that, or Classic OS3.x emulation you need all the CPU you can throw at it.

@TSK

No problem, not my native language either!

@jahc and all...

My first post was not about religion... It was more about the "funny" Court Case...

Especially the last comment:

In fact there were a (tiny) more serious court case in Italy a few years ago IIRC... I don't remember if it was directly against God or against the church as "representant" of God...

I don't think it will be over so quickly. I also don't think that, having seen the 2001 contract, Hyperion has to wait for the court case to be over to release OS4 for new hardware.

Hi COBRA,

Hopefully the trial will be resolved/over in Hyperion's favor by then.

What would happen if Bill McEwen doesn't show up to trial?

Bolton Peck has a judgement against him but can't collect.

Rich Woods said that he has to be served some paper(s) to force him to pay up. Let's contact Bolton and get him to appear at the next trial, as Bill was there that day in May....

Huh?! Where did you get this from? What is going to happen in March 2008?

My microA1 does not have altivec, it has an 800MHz G3, so a Sam440 would not be a downgrade for me. For AmigaOne-XE owners it would be, sure.

@Mikey_C

Just "Do a Micro$loth"

@Atheist

Not sure there would be any benefit in that, because if Hyperion are arguing that they now own OS4 for perpetuity, and then go under to be re-born, do the rights then get passed to them? or do they lose it? where does AOS4 stand then? I think its better if they do not go under. IMHO

@BillE

You know depend how you will at that :).

Yes, processor is slower, but Amiga OS NEWER needed fast processors :), only some coding/decoding... which I will run on my... PC :P Core2Duo 2.66 (I know, writing this on Amiga forum is BAD). But it's true. The same like my laptop is iBook G4 :).

Ok. Coming back to topic.

For me Sam440 looks pretty good, Radeon 9250 is VERY nice (I have one on one of my pc's...), DDR266... slow but again here a speed don't do soooo much like in PC.

USB2.0 this IS important when you want copy 4Gb of pictures in 20 min... (around! ;) )

Than SATA, very cheap HDD, CDRW...

I really don't need more for my Ami :), expect Office :P or even Open Office!...

I realy would like to buy it... Sam440 come to me ;)

Uh oh, I feel like I'm lynching him now.. I'm bowing out of this discussion. (Sorry billsey).
