If every one do this ... hyperion not made the os 4.1 , acube didn't made the Sam and the aeon didn't make the x1000 ... Ralph Schmidt din t make morphos 3 , hans the radeon 2d drivers, elbox the mediator and the same is for all the people who believe in the Amiga and love the Amiga platform loosing energy and time for the community make new hardware new software and all new things exit every day on os depot, morphos depo,t aminet, and aros depot .all here who love this magic platform hope every day for the return of this great system and his os

@JimDrew

Well maybe you do it shorter timer, or make it faster, or some other personal challenge, for personal usage, R&D can be a motiv.

Its a bit like, people who only did it to earn monay are gone, ones that are left do it because they like it.

Would you do it for a Bunty? and what is the price?

Actually, it's called SuperCard+ and I have just a bit over two thousand people submit an interest, and it's not out yet. The market base is C64, Amiga, PC, Apple, Atari, and others. So, it is much bigger than just one computer system. I expect to sell a lot of these.

@NutsAboutAmiga

I am not interested in making any more emulations.

@NutsAboutAmiga

Try convince Paul Lesurf which was the one who had the rights to the emulators instead. Dunno if he still is part of (or that the company exists) Virtual Programming Ltd...

This kind of emulators was great when the actual emulated hardware was expensive but nowadays the old G4-Macs are dirt cheap so paying more for an emulator that gives you less is not very logical...

@Develin

Better is everything on one monitor under the same computer with the same mouse and same keyboard much better is if the host os is the Amiga os 4.x 8) ... More space left in Your room and Your wife Will be' more happy :-p

Well my wife would certainly love to get rid of my computers =) but since I'm not using MorphOS on a Macmini I also can dual-boot to OSX (which I never do really) so it's not a big problem to me since I allready have that covered, I can see that this might be a problem to OS4 users unless they don't have a dualboot system running Linux (and MOL on that) or a Pegasos that can use the Molk-loader then the problem is solved.

What are the issues that MOL or (MOM, MacOnMac) can't be ported to OS4, is it MP-related ?

@Develin

So who is he, is he active or is has he gone into retirement? I don't go around nag people, there are other people who send e-mails do that.

Hemm, maybe we can setup trade offer like Sam460 for source code bounties? And see who's interested, in donating there source code to get basically free computer.

It's all water long gone under the bridge now, but I was one of those Amiga users who pre-ordered iFusion and felt like I got screwed when it never worked as advertised. I am sure you can understand why so many Amiga users were so disappointed when you left the Amiga market by selling your emulation software to Blittersoft before it was really working on everyone's Amiga computers with Cyberstorm and Blizzard accelerator cards.

Yes, you had every right to sell it and you had no legal obligation to support, or work on it after the sale to Blittersoft, but I for one felt betrayed, and also felt like you had taken what ever money you could get from the slowly dying Amiga community, and then fled the scene with what ever you could get your hands on from Blittersoft. It left a very bitter taste in my mouth and I completely understand how tlosm feels when he began posting about iFusion.

You made a business decision, which was best for yourself. That was the smart thing to do and no doubt it was the only sensible thing to do at the time. But Amiga users are passionate about their Commodore Amiga computers and were desperately trying to hang on to the ship as it sank, and more and more commercial developers left the Amiga market. You were just one more of those who left, but happened to have a high profile and lots of controversy due to your previous success with the Emplant products and the unfinished nature of iFusion.

Just my two cents on this long dead topic,

Is the guy who ran Blittersoft still around? Maybe it could be opensourced?

Dave, yes it was the best decision I could have ever made with the ship sinking fast. Without that revenue, I could have never succeeded with development of FUSION for the PC. Utilities Unlimited had tens of thousands of Commodore 64/128 and Amiga customers. It sucked to have to abandon them, but I felt good that everything we had released worked well and that iFUSION would continue to be developed by Blittersoft and their programmers.

Yes, Commodore users (not just Amiga) are very passionate about their computers. It was a difficult to accept that the Amiga was on its way out, and I was pleased to at least do most of the FUSION-PC development on the Amiga, using the PC only for the assembly process because there was no cross-assembler for the Amiga. I am still passionate about the Commodore line, which is why I am getting back into it again after all of these years.

Things that I have sold off I can not be brought back to life because I don't have the source code anymore. Such is the case with iFUSION for the Amiga.

People had a tizzy fit when I sold the rights to iFUSION, and they also had a tizzy fit when I sold the rights to FUSION-PC.

Hey Jim Thanks for posting here. Kind of funny how these amiga guys get up in arms over this stuff but yet they dont get angry with Hyperion, Aince (well now they are) , INdividual computers, or other vendors/dealers that are still left when they make mistakes or false promises...

but mention past amiga projects and they go through the roof.

Fanboyism at its finest.

@JimDrew

Thanks for the reply Jim. Let's just leave it as a difference of opinion on how iFusion worked, or didn't work. You were happy with your results and left without any guilty feelings (perhaps), I and many other users who purchased iFusion felt very differently. And YES, I do understand that you cannot bring back to life something that you had sold years before, and that you no longer had control of iFusion once it was sold. For you to say that you do not understand how any Amiga user could be angry with you regarding iFusion, or the fact that you left the Amiga market the way in which you did, I think is either misleading, or you are in denial. I also don't expect any apology from you or Joe Fenton for what you did (or didn't do). It would be nice if you acknowledged the fact that your correct business decision was hurtful and very disappointing to many people who were hoping for much more from the pair of you.

It is all long over now, and I don't want to discourage you from coming back to the Amiga and Commodore communities. I am actually glad to see you back working on any projects connected to the Amiga and Commodore communities, as you are obviously a talented person and we can always use as many of those here as we can get.

I am sure you will understand if I choose to wait until your Supercard+ product is completely finished, tested, reviewed by independent parties, before I decide to buy this time.

All bitterness aside, I truly do wish you all the best and hope that your project(s) are a huge success. I really mean that. Any success within our tiny community is a success for all of us.

@realize,

I hope you are not including me in your "behind kissing" remark about "Fanboyism". I am often critical of Hyperion regarding their broken, or delayed actions to fulfill their promises, but I am understanding regarding their very small workforce and resources, so I don't have impractical expectations from them to start with. I do criticize them when they make announcements without substance, or make unrealistic claims. I think they have partially learned from past mistakes with announcements, but unfortunately this has led to the absence of information they are willing to share now. As for Individual Computers, I am not aware of any promises they have made, which they have not rectified, or are not currently actively working on to resolve. These companies which are still actively trying to do SOMETHING within the Amiga community are a far different story when compared to Microcode Solutions, who made their money, then left the Amiga community, with the expectations of hundreds, if not thousands of remaining Amiga users left unfulfilled. Many Amiga users back then had expectations, but were not pre-order customers, and to lose yet another commercial developer, and one who was well known and appreciated, was a huge disappointment. Amiga Inc. is not worth even talking about.

@Darth_X

Why bother trying to get iFusion Open Sourced?

Do we still want to run Mac programs on our AmigaOne's?

It appears that most users would rather use Linux programs, via ports to AmigaOS4.x, Linux PPC dual boot on the X1000 or SAM boards, or via emulation, if they can't find the software available as native for AmigaOS4.x.

If you really want to run Mac software, you are better off choosing MorphOS3.x and running a dual boot setup on real Mac PPC hardware.

I pre-purchased iFusion mainly for the purpose of funding the development. When I received it, i never expected to use it because both the O.S. and hardware manufacturers (Phase5 and DCE) were abandoning the platform. In that situation, regardless of whether iFusion was in the hands of Microcode Solutions or Blittersoft, it may have been impossible to make it into what everyone wanted without causing financial self-destruction. I was not cheated out of anything because I knew there would be limitations in the first release. I was only disappointed that development could not continue.
I agree it is best NOT to pre-order anything if you can't afford to lose the money. I normally refuse pre-orders and Kickstarter projects. I made an exception with the A-EON X1000. Hyperion had delivered a good product for the AmigaOneXE and the SAM boards, so I trusted their evaluation of A-EON's product and partnership. So I put forth a lot of money for a beta pre-order and it proved to be a good purchase for me.
With so many good motherboards from multiple companies, and Hyperion's OS4, we have a stable and supported platform again. It is a good foundation to allow for software development without having to deal with an unsupported platform.
