You have to ask a betatester for that.. The guy I spoke with (Ryu) didnt say anything about CVPPC..

Hi guys,

Over the last few months a number of pieces of hardware have been
proposed and/or shown for use with OS4. I have compiled all the
information I could find into a (Work In Progress) Table of
Comparison, which should be attached to this post.

I hope this helps in seeing what is/might be coming soon and how
things stack up with each other. Please let me know if you have
any suggestions, modifications, more information, etc.

Thanks,

PJS

@Alkaron

Hmm, ok, thanks for the info...

...but you said, that P96 will be emulated for cards that
don't have (or get) a native driver...but CVPPC neither
has a P96 driver nor will get a native one (BVisionPPC will)
...so, no support for the CVPPC, at all?

@RWO

Exactly!

PPC-written drivers or programs

You know that its possible to write a driver for OS4 in 680x0. Its even possible to write a 680x0 driver that only works on OS4 and not on Classic.

I started do that with some of my usb drivers...

If you ask me Native means PPC code if you are talking about OS4.

RWO

Well!

Aos4 emulates classic 680x0 programs .. and drivers. Native modes means that there are drivers written directly for OS4.

The 680x0 is shut down during the use of Aos4

@Alkaron

So "emulated" for me then, whatever that means...what DOES it mean anyway???

@ RWO

Its not even funny! Try to keep this forum clean and not a jibbering aw.net ;)

A question about compatibility between MPC7455 and MPC7457 G4-s:

7455 page states this:

"Offered in a 483-pin CBGA package, the MPC7455 processor is
pin-compatible with Freescale's MPC7451/MPC7450 processors:

7457 page states this:

"Offered in a 483-pin CBGA package, the MPC7457 processor is
footprint-compatible with Freescale's award-winning MPC7455/45 processors"

It isn't the same thing (At least doesn't reads the same) . Footprint indeed the same. But electronically? Number of pins and their geometry are the same too. But the layout(electronically)?
Can anyone throw some info?

No I am not a betatester, but I have talked to a betatester for classic amigas! Read an earlier thread about P96 and AmigaOS4 (under Amigaclassic i think) there is a summit of what the betatester told me.

Bvision, will be supported by AOS4 in native mode, but it is not finished yet.

P96 and Elbox will be emulated.

Bvision doenst work very well, p96 does. He told me if he had to choose between those to, he would go for Voodoo and P96

@Alkaron

What about CybervisionPPC?
Remark: If you can't say due to NDA, just don't!

I know that there is no P96 driver for 68k, i am stuck with
CybergraphX, (which is not a bad software, but unrcontinued)
Will there be an OS4 native P96 driver, or will the
CybervisionPPC not be supported at all...
which would be a shame, of course!

Reminds of the fact, i don't even know if i'm talking to an OS4 betatester, heh

Well!

There are betatesters that succefully run OS4 on BPPC, as written in an earlier thread.

The problem is which GFX-card thats supported. BVision has some issues P96 works with the "old" drivers. There will probably be a native version for BPPC but not for P96.

@All
I too have a CD32 and love using it also have the CDTV
i am still looking for original games all the time for it seen quite a few on ebay
but its hard to know what game is good and what is not

@ikir
yep sure can be a cow to play but i always felt that way with all the Alien Breed games.. guardian and BB:TA are always the ones i go back to...and they get insanely difficult

@ all
watch aja's uncut version of the Hills Have Eyes, have to admit its the 1st remake in a long time ive been impressed with a remake, and for the life of me cant figure out why this lost out to Hostel at the box office.. this is gore and decent soundtrack and gore
have to say seeing the great greg nictrero as a mutant was cool too.. (the better 3rd of KNB effects)

watch a few miyazaki films too namely princess monoke (sorry if its spelt wrong ...32 hours up so far) damn good was bit miffed it was the english only version,
and the other was nausicca and the valley of the winds, luckly the un-edited japanese original both amazing as expected..better than any euro animation ..

next on the list is the exorcist which ive never seen and
i managed to track down an original pre directors cut dvd of bladerunner... .. thats one directors cut i did not like..
