- A clean install is preffered. It can be installed/upgraded, but must be installed to a partition supporting long fielnames, so no classic FFS..SFS only. Several fonts use long filenames, possibly others. AHI is also supported on Classics. |
No, actually a clean install is mandatory. Trying to upgrade a 3.9 install is madness and should never be attempted. The first thing I will ever ask when someone has trouble whether he has installed on a clean partition, and if the reply is "no" I will just say "go and reinstall on a clean partition" and be done with it.
You can chose FFS or SFS, both are supplied on the CD as 68k file systems and both support long file names. The ROM FFS doesn't.Last edited by wegster on 21-Oct-2007 at 10:49 PM.

12. is there anything on a CPU level (if we consider that we have MMU and FPU on 68k) that would stop some of the more advanced OS4 features from working on 68k, IF OS4 were ver to be ported (re-ported) to 68k? Any chance? |
A 68k version has been off the cards for 5 years that I can remember, since the "next" version of AmigaOS as announced, and expected, would be PPC only. People were upset then, and less are upset now. But, all that time ago, I never wanted to run an AmigaOS 4.0 on my A1020/030@40/AGA!! A new machine or else!

15. If WinUAE gets a PPC cpu emulation option will it be "legal" to buy and run a copy of AmigaOS4 Classic on emulation?- unsure this is a question for Hyperion or existing laws, not classic OS4 specific. |
What?! WinUAE will get PPC emulation before MacUAE gets native WarpUP PPC emulation? That's it, this will be the last straw. It's one thing with the PPC and it's big endian CPU with 32 registers not getting a 68K JIT, but not even being able to run PowerPC Amiga code natively is another. You can forget any kind of PowerPC Amiga software running native on a Mac now. |
