Isn't that a bit similar to what Hyperion recently stated?

That may change soon, a minimig with full 030 inc MMU core is already booting AmigaOS to Workbench and a 68881/882 core is also in the works. There’s also a bit of fresh blood emerging in the FPGA scene which is encouraging.

Yes, and I bet he meant _legitimate_ older AmigaOS version installed. This only means you must buy a copy of AmigaForever to use with emulator on ANY capable system first, and then the requirement is fulfilled. Anyways, this kind of limitation isn’t even legal around here, we are allowed to install whatever software we own on whatever hardware we own, and even modify the software for sake of interoperability, EULAs be damned.

Agree on the specificity of 3.2.3 vs your sense of how wording should have been.

But it seems this is also a "clue" as to current rights?

After all no settlement has been published, filed, recorded, whatever as of today that would indicate what current rights actually are.

I guess it depends on what you think "device" is. My old A1200 is definitely a device. And a Raspberry Pi (or Windows PC or whatever) running an emulated AmigaOS 3.1 is also a device.

Here is a good SDL/SDL2 tutorial:
https://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/

I first started with SDL1 on Linux because I wasn't sure if any Amiga system is supporting SDL2.
I have not tried to compile something for AROS or any other AmigaNG system, but there are many SDL ports for those system.

Setting up a window, loading and displaying an image is a peace of cake in SDL, the events are needed for Inputs (Key, Mouse, ...) and if you use ChatGPT and ask for a program you will have a simple image display program in less than an hour.

So it would appear that OS3.3 will be the last 68K OS release by Hyperion?

Hopefully Amiga Cop/Inc/Org whatever they are now, do really consider continuing activities with the team who are developing OS3.3.........(although in my heart I dont think they will).

A device that already got Amiga OS included.. Like all original Amiga models, and only those.

I don't think Hyperion will release AOS3.3

@OneTimer1

Think they will not release it? Based on what (besides own thoughts)?

If they stopped selling 3.2, why they could sell 3.3?
