ok thanks for the clarification

@jabirulo

excuse me, can you tell me where I say that Stephen didn't do a great job? just to be sure that I am still able to write and speak english.. and for your knowledge, I registered my self as retroarch user "buying" the amiga version when Stephen started the project..

not you.. the developer should switch from sdl to a native port..

@MazinKaesar

the problem are the sdl... they are to heavy for our cpu... the solution would be to use rtg and ahi for audio and graphic.. the performance would be better..

See you there my friend!

It would be a distro linux so it will make no sense for me.. I would go for linux (that i use for almost 20 years now) with an amigaos theme and I would be happy with that...

It is not just to have the workbench desktop that make it amiga os, it is all the environment like, devs, dos drivers, datatypes and all the other stuff..

Obviously if it would be something like amithlon plus all these new modern features, it would be different..

Edit:

"If" the solution is to use a modified linux kernel to have these modern features, it wouldn't be a problem for me. If we think about amiga os we know that some parts of the system were not amiga native, think about, for example, at DOS (it was TRIPOS).. think about all the protocols that we use everyday, they are not born on the Amiga, like for example the TCP/IP stack and many other things.. Amiga OS 4 is now a "modern" system and indeed we have sobjs from linux world and many programs come from this world..

It would be a solution to start with a "fat" kernel and then optimize it, like Apple did on MacOS, and then it would be nice to have a modern workbench with a new Reaction gui system and all the new features you talked about... In the end AmigaOS4 should be this..

You cannot be in the future if you are stuck in the past..

Thanks for the usefull informations!

Just a simple question: are these two commands still good?

Any news?

I say memory protection. I am not a full time developer or a skilled developer but I did some gui for my own use and other small stuff for my self. But it is very frustrating when you have to reset the amiga everytime you try a new exe that you just created because the entire system crashes... and trust me, you reset a lot when you are learning to code on the amiga..

Thanks a lot!

Thanks man!

Web Browsers are huge task to accomplish even for big teams so it wouldn't surprise me if this will never happen on amiga os4.. But I am honest with you.. I still have faith in IBrowse!

Talking about os4 I think that the best solution would be a complete switch to X64 or newer technology than remain stuck on PPC..

@walkero

Thanks for the update!

Slower? I don't know what to say.. but when remote desktop worked on amiga os4 I used it a lot (almost everyday) with my micro and windows 7 and it worked fine. Speaking about the download option that wouldn't be a problem with a shared folder..

Thanks for this information, I didn't know it.. But what about a remote desktop for amigaos4? it wouldn't be better to have a remote desktop working under os4 ? nowadays everybody here have a second windows/mac/linux system..

@TheMagicSN

Thanks a lot Stephen!

Thanks for all the infos!

Hi to all, I would like to know if there is some tutorial on how to create a cross compile environment on Debian, in order to compile os4 program on debian machine...

May you point me to a good tutorial?

Thanks

thanks! I totally forgot to have that version installed on my system and it works like a charm! it also has save state function on exit, so you can continue to play from the last session! very cool! :)
