He's just a lonely guy with lots of spare time in his hands and trying hard to become the new Dan Brown... he's gracing us by throwing excerpts from his latest novel in each and every OS4 related thread.

I think that for all the talk of supporting all camps there has been very very little to show for it. MorphOS on the X5000 comes to mind but that's about it. They said they would consider porting PPaint to AROS and MorphOS but then nothing. Not even a poll to see if enough people are interested. If you plan to support all camps, then do so. If not, don't make such promises. My 2 cents.

While I have no idea about the actual situation workload wise and how much they have to balance
Amiga development vs a "real job", I can see that time is a scarse resource.
Ssolie was quite frank about that; getting home from their paying job and allocating as much time as possible to their fun hobby aka Amiga development.
Im sure quite a few of them would LOVE to spend all their time developing for the OS, hardware driver support and versions for all platforms.
Once you have to pay the rent, mortgage, loan etc you realise that you better hold on to your paying job just a bit longer

Take Trevors comment about Prisma Soundcard; hardware done, but Matthew keeps tweaking the software side. I have no idea how many projects Matthew is working on, but I have no problem understanding that days, weeks and months passes by quickly.

If time is a scarse resource, you tend to focus your efforts, and the focal point of AeonKit has been AOS.

That is pretty much understood. But considering that when one MorphOS programmer offered to port PPaint for free he got the cold shoulder, so my concern is not at ease yet.

Yasu, alternatively everyone can do the same. Producing / buying exclusives.
Depending on success you could discuss a exchange later on.
Like app a for app b.
You can't force anyone to cooperate but you can learn to be patient and some problems disappear by time.

Of course they try to make os4 and so the hardware more attractive. This is ok imho

Great! Keep going Amiga! There are a lot of talented Amigapeople around. Just finishing a humour sign with DPV and then music and then connecting a game with the serial..

Waiting for the Good Golden Years again as many;)

I have no problem with them being AmigaOS 4 exclusive. I have a problem that they claim they want to support all camps if they really don't.

I would say it this way... if you want to develop cross-platform it is a kind of compromise, you can only support what is available everywhere. The more you use specific features of a platform (including GUI technology) the more difficult is porting. Also even common parts of the API are similar but not identical so when you do not know the differences or are not interested in it then porting also becomes difficult. A-eon is mainly interested in OS4, Amigakit in OS 3.X and 4.X for commercial reasons. Aros (including 68k) and MorphOS have differences compared to 3.x and 4.X and would need additional work (means money) to be supported so it might be a economic and strategic decision not to support it. But then they should simply leave it out of their press releases.

Does this include MorphOS application development as well if a developer wants to work on both platforms?

@Acill Yes of course.

Ofcourse Amigakit have to expand on that if they/he feels like it.

@phoenixkonsole

nice!
I really think that some sort of fusion/exchange from the 2 stores apps was a really good idea!

More apps/devs more choice!

That's my point: they say it a lot, but doesn't really do much to show it. Like porting AmiStore to MorphOS and AROS or give the community some ways to get their softwares ported. So for me it sounds like "Yes, of course we want to support everything, but we are not actually gonna do it."

On the other hand, we get mos developers bragging about their superior apps that os4 users will never have. The road goes both ways, funny how that works...

How is their "bragging" relevant here? I can't remember any any of them claiming to support all the NG platforms, but not actually doing it.

Sigh.

For years people complained nothing was ever done or communicated.

Now, that things happens and are communicated, we have to nitpick on every little detail.

@overflow
what happens? whats being communicated? i just see hollow statements so far as usual. and yet more smoke screen, marketing speech, promises without merit, banning and eradicating traces of unpleasant questions on buy off sites, simply the procedure as every year and you want us to believe in a change simply for the hope of it? good luck..

@wawa

You are one grumpy aros user, Speaking of "smoke screans", how many more years till aros saves us all? If its going to turn me into a grumpy old men like you, I'd pass.

Yes never wanted to try both others as they are so "Put Your words here;)"

A hammer would do the job too or co-operate so all will earn more.

Yes? You want a discussion about Aros?

We can have that... (even if it is senseless)
