11/30/2023 0 Comments Amiga OS launchbar![]() ![]() Most of the Amiga OSs run on ancient PowerPC hardware and aren't useful in a modern sense for much more than simple web browsing and IRC. It really is mostly for the novelty/nostalgia factor. that there are several shows alone that pull in north of a thousand people. You'd be surprised at how big the retrocomputing/retrogaming enthusiast market is. Commodore only made so many Amiga systems, and Amiga only made so many Amiga One systems and they are expensive. But people are still wanting to use them and pay for a modern operating system or hardware upgrade for them. The number of Amigas has shrunk over time because they wear out. I agree open sourcing it and porting it to Intel PCs would get more users and they could then focus on writing apps for it and make money on an app store. AmigaOS 4.0 was contracted out to Hyperion and there were lawsuits over the rights to it. The 2.0 era kind of killed compatibility, and by the time AmigaOS 3.0 came out the big names stopped writing software for it. Most of the golden age AmigaDOS stuff was Kickstart 1.3 or 1.2 when EA and others made games for them. I use Amiga emulators, you can set the floppy drive speed to a faster speed to speed up the loading of programs. I later got an Amiga 500 at a convention for a good price but gave it away to a friend later who was making a computer museum. Replacements were expensive so I got a 386 clone and ran DOS and Windows for less than the cost of fixing the Amiga 1000. My Amiga 1000 broke apart, first the keyboard failed and then the floppy drive. Whomever is doing AmigaOS or MorphOS or whatever wants to be another Apple with hardware lock in, and following the old Apple business plan of the PowerMac instead of the new Apple business plan of merging with a Unix OS and going open source ala Darwin. It all ended in the early 1990s when Commodore went out of business. There is still a niche market for retro tech. Even if the Amiga One uses that SAM440 chip used in Microwave Ovens it runs very fast because of the low overhead of AmigaOS. There are CPU accelerators for every Amiga out there to replace the 68K CPU with a PowerPC or 68040 emulated custom chip. ![]() AmigaOS runs on a low memory footprint and uses low CPU cycles. These people love their Amigas because they don't have the bloat or crap that modern systems have. The more modern AmigaOS 3.1 and up have more apps for them via open source and shareware. ![]() The old Amigas were very reliable, and the Guru Errors got fixed as of Kickstart 2.0 and up. Martin uses a DOS machine with Wordstar because he finds it more reliable than Windows. Some people use DOS machines with a Pentium 1 or 486 chip because they were made before backdoors got added. The lies continue to this day just to rip people off so I had to say this thanks Jay Miner my Dear Friend for giving me the Ownership of AMIG A.Most of those people using an Amiga don't like Apple or Microsoft and want an alternative that is not Linux or used with a modern computer that might have an NSA backdoor in it.Įven if they used Linux the BIOS might have some sort of backdoor in it. ,and I own the AMIGAONE name in any form. I own all rights to Amiga hardware-software, IP R.etc. I was the one buying all the stuff that year in the Blazer and tie.Kermit knows me all to well. everyone knows it ,but didnt or couldnt figure out what was going on. I on the other hand started the development of the PS3 while meeting with top executives in a secretive meeting. it was just a sales pitch.Then in 2018 I confirmed everything about all the lies he agreed with me. I had the Amiga forever version which is what they used it sucked. So its not emulating at all, besides he sold out his imagefx. Now it says it forgoes the emulation of the chips to hit the 68k chip pfft. The CLASSIC AMIGA HARWARE/OS BEFORE 2002 has both of theses, and you cant have one without the other. First, off you cant emulate a ROLLS-ROYCE- CLASSIC AMIGA HARWARE/OS BEFORE 2002 with a yugo-pc=mac you knpw true 8bit/cpu/gpu no multitasking no real-time. ![]()
