Who, laszlo? ROFL. I take it that you don't know him well. I wish he was half as good (as a person) as Moovid is.

Just a question to the developers: will AmigaOS 4.x maintain the compatibility with the old classic amiga software?


i don't think so - and actually also don't hope so.
amiga os4.x has to go on and drop some of the old burdens. if memory protection will envolve further this will result in some no-longer-working older software automatically i guess.

for running old software euae has to be used finally.

byebye...


I just want to say that i find this VERY sad... Who is going to write new and decent apps and games for OS4? How many skilled developers are still with us?
I might sound a little retro but euae is not a real option for classic Amigas.

@Rogue
I think you misanderstood me. (Or vise-versa) I'm reffering to the emulation of the WarpOS and PowerUP systems. This has nothing to do with Warp3D.

Permedia 2 support will come in an update.

That's great! Do you plan to re-introduce WOS/PUP emulation in the near future?

First of all, thank you all for your replies

Classic Amigas are probably too slow for using software 3D.

Yes. Any classic Amiga is too slow for this.

The demo version includes a m68k binary. Isn't that the case for the full version?

Ah, yes. I forgot about that. I guess (if you also consider the mandatory SW 3D rendering) it won't be as fast as the WOS version but this game is not very demanding.

All of them use Warp3D, which currently is limited to Voodoo cards on classic Amigas,

Does this mean that there are no 3D drivers for C/BVision cards?
In MorphOS, there are no 3D drivers for these card either, but if you copy the AOS3 Warp3D system files to your MOS partition, HW 3D games will work as they should. Can this be done in OS4?

Certainly Wipeout works,
That would be the only additional game you could run if I'd release a version of powerpc.library for the current kernels, and on classic Amigas only if you have a Prometheus or Medator and a Voodoo graphics card.

Bad luck, then. I have a BVision. :-/

It has been beat. Forget about it and use the native Amiga OS 4.0 version of SFS instead.

In classic AmigaOS, PFS beats SFS quite easily, but i guess the OS4 native SFS is much faster.

WarpOS emulation was introduced in OS4 Update 2 or 3 for AmigaOne. It was "un-introduced" in OS4 Final.

I copied the OS4 Update 4 version of the emulation across, and have had no problems with it in OS4 July Update (which should be more-or-less the same as the Classic release version)

Certainly Wipeout works, and Earth 2140 does too, perfectly. Payback has a few problems with the sound giving up, although I've just tested it and it seems fine (with NallePUH).

Joerg will tell you it doesn't work, but this is my experience. The problem is you can't legally get hold of the WarpOS emulator. It might be worth registering your O4 on the Hyperion website (if you haven't already) and seeing if you get access to the AmigaOne OS4 updates. If so, you can download Update4 then and get it from there.

That is the question! I haven't bought it yet, so i can't check it myself.
Could someone who has register his OS4 for classic inform me if he/she has access to the AmigaOne OS4 updates? This is really important for me. Thanks.

Yes.


Oh...
That means no Heretic 2, no Wipeout, Shogo, Payback, etc.. I own some of these games and i was hoping that i would get some extra FPS's from them under OS4.
Now i realise that i will have to switch to AOS 3.0 or MOS whenever i want to play them.
EDIT: Is this something that was introduced in the last OS update? I could almost swear that i've seen old posts of some A1/OS4 users who were able to run Wipeout and Heretic2..

No idea, if the "direct-scsi" version of it doesn't work (the "normal" one doesn't support HDs > 4GB) it's because of a bug in PFS. Other AmigaOS 3.x/m68k file systems work without problems on AmigaOS4.[/quote]

I see. I asked this because PFS is unbeatable speed-wise. I guess that the OS4 native version of SFS should be faster than the 68k-only PFS?
Well, i can't blame OS4 for a PFS bug anyway.

Hi.
I see that only Voodoo users are reporting GFX problems on OS4. Does it run 100% ok on C/BVision cards?
