I've a long time amiga fan and am very affraid that our beloved passion is going to fall back into obscurity just like osx for powerpc did.
What we need is that our os is ported to Playstation 3 as soon as possible and then to the xbox360 and the wii.
Look at the opportunities.
They all run on powerpc and together form the nextgen game computers.

First step is to replace the moon with a large ball of cheese.

[motorollin]

replace?!

but I thought the moon was made of cheese, that's what the nice man who sold me a bridge said!

This has been discussed a trillion times before.

Instead of re-inventing the wheel, why not use what you've already got?
AROS on x86 and MorphOS on PPC, for example.

Pony up a bounty and you'll see some AROS and MorphOS developes willing port their OS to <insert name of platform here>, given that the reward is big enough.

There is a bounty for porting AROS to EFIKA. Donating to that will get you AROS on PPC.

Yep, at this point my "dream machine" going forward will be the EFIKA running AROS with EUAA built-in. I think I'll be pretty happy then!

Thanks TeamAROS for all the work they are doing. I support as much as I can via donations since I'm not a coder, as much as I'd like to be.

Hi

These are gaming machines. For playing games. I am playing FFXII on the PS2 at the moment which is a magic game. I am looking forward to getting a PS3 so I can play some serious new games, developed for the PS3 by games developers who I would guess are not wallowing around in the realms of obscurity. Nobody in there right mind is gonna seriously develop anything for the Amiga.. Honestly. The world moved on some time ago and all we have now is a world of nutters like me who still enjoys mucking around on his beloved Amiga. But I still enjoy FFXII on the Playstation or Halo on the XBOX. Horses for what ever... You go to the gaming world shows today and utter the words Amiga, and they would all look at you gone out. Magic platform... but sadly went off the rails and became a hobby for loads of computer folk who just wouldn`t let it die. Me included. I seriously would like to be wrong on this issue.. And I mean that.

Anyway back to Balfonheim Port with a view to exploring Feywood which is gonna be particularly tricky I thinks.. Need to level up a bit..

Apple showed people the proper way to do it:

Realize that computers are about functionality, and not technology, so stop thinking you can actually write an OS and just use somebody else's OS and build a GUI on top of it.

What we need is a new OS that works like an Amiga. "Saving" the Amiga we've been using for 20+ years is just stupid.

Oh yeah, and stop thinking you can stop piracy by using DRM and hardware keys. Piracy is a problem on every platform, and even if the OS is miraculously exempt from piracy (haha) the application developers won't be. Stop being paranoid and just release something that will sell more than a thousand copies, so it can, you know, actually reach critical mass.
