Nice. Glad to see that there is still enough of a market in the original Amigas to make this all worthwhile.

Good. I like the blog and two YT Channels (Hyperion and this one),
only stupidity is that videos are set to almost private (by invitation), have no tags,
as well as they do not allow comments.

However, big improvements in communication with masses.

However, MorphOS went step further with very detailed documentation/tutorial
on line.

Its interesting to see that Classics will live up to 4.1 and in 2011.

I assume its more indication how well OS 4.1 can be optimized,
as well as that SAM/ A1/ Peg sales are generally lower then original Classic PPC Cards

:) glad you like it. I turned off the Youtube comments because I'd like to see the comments on the Hyperion Blog site instead.

It was fun making the video too :)

More to come later :)

@HammerD

Since you are the owner:

1) Set videos as public
2) Add quality tags that will help people find it or have it displayed in related videos (e.g Amiga AmigaOS Classic A4000 A1200 Zorro PowerPC PPC Blizzard Radeon General IT AmigaClassic ClassicAmiga Operating System OS AmigaKit ...)
3) Open the comments, no evil there and we will see what people say
4) Add some description and link to blong in description

Yes, its some additional work, but if you want to be on the Tube, is much needed

@HammerD

Cool! Makes me wish I didn't sell my A1200/PPC back then.

@vox

ok i've made it public and added some tags but I'd like to restrict comments (and keep the comments on the Hyperion blog :)

FINALLY some good promos from Hyperion!

why do you just link to youtube, instead of putting these videos (as you tube objects) in the blog's posts?

Looks good, performance looks pretty smooth. How fast is the PPC chip?

Does OS4.1 do context switching, i.e. can it use the 68k chip too?

@Daniel

I can't recall which machine that was done on (I made the video some time ago), but I have two 233MHz 604e machines and one 366Mhz 604e (Cyberstorm PPC overclocked).

The physical 68K is disabled and there is an integrated 68k emulator in OS 4.x.

@Daniel

As explained, 68k CPU is not used at all and is disabled. OS is PowerPC native 100% and 68k code is emulated via Petunia emulator. This means that users with faster PPC chips (604e 166Mhz+) would benefit more, and I remember people used to buy cards with faster 040/060 chips since at OS 3.x time, this was more important while PowerUP/WarpUp software was rare.

OS 4.0 Classic had ability to acess AGA chips on board (even to run OS 4 on AGA without GFX), but no one ever mentioned did this provided ability to use ADF files and Classic software without E-UAE (interesting comparative advancement over new generation Amiga boards, as well as abiity to boot older MorphOS).

Well, it was about time, both OS`s are quite mature and developed,
and finally again have hardware availiable!

It was about time to tell it to the world!

What I miss with Hyperion is old nice OS4 site,
I believe it was os4.hyperion.biz

The articles that were on that site are now on the Hyperion Blog.

But yes, I liked the old site too :)

Thanks, feel free to add more tags, they help a lot!

Again, if you wish blog to flourish, leave its link in the description, otherwise
"the YouTube people" will not know of it.

Just left the Blog comments, but I still believe you shouldn`t separate these two.
Blogers will leave it on blog, You Tubers will leave it on YT video.

nice, but it was a little difficult to recognize anything new in these closeups. seems a lilttle blurry too from time to time? is this compositing? so what about this blender splash, (it is a splash screen, isnt it?) does it actually work?

@wawa

Probably my camera (manually held) with my hand...;)

Compositing is shown briefly in this video, yes. Keep in mind that this is an older video and the first video I posted to the Blog is with more updated version of the Beta.

Blender works (that was it starting up at the Blender splash screen in the video) but it can tend to crash in low gfx memory situations, so Radeon is preferred for it. I've been meaning to send some bug reports to the author but I just haven't had the time.
