That was one of the reasons I left that particular question answered the way I did....

I think we all agree that OS4 on 'real hardware' is preferable, but for many it isn't an option. In the event that OS4 could run under emulation, it _would_ very likely grow the OS4 user base, and yes, I believe people would buy OS4 to run under emulation..piracy will always be a concern, but presumably it's the same case for OS4 Classic as well.

It's sort of a moot point right now, as there exists no emulator I'm aware of that would run OS4 under it 'as is,' but I do hope the net result were this to come to be a possibility, would be additional sales of OS4.

Anyways, to all, let's keep the flames to a minimum here...the point if this thread is simply to clarify the state of OS4 for classics, not decide if it's a good idea or not, etc.

Next time please ask AIncabout an OS4 license for UAE and please stop asking Hyperion about OS4 for x86,


Related, haw many people have actually asked Genesi; or whom it may concern, about MorphOS or x86?

My goal was to help developing OS4 for realPPC hardware and not to create something which runs inside any sort of emulation.


And of which you and the team have done a fine job. Well done.

To write something positive and on-topic here, OS4Classic runs here withPicassoIV and AriadneII and MultiFaceCardIII on A4k with Micronik ZIIIdaughterboard. I've also tested CyberVision64/3D, PicassoII, Merlin,Prometheus plus Permedia2, AriadneI.


I am certainly happy to hear this, there are at least a couple of people in my Amiga club who were interested in OS4 Classic. Exciting news from me is afoot. It almost brings me back to the 3.5 and 3.9 releases and how exciting they were. Now there is another version of AmigaOS that can run a real Amigas again. A time for celebration, for whoever wants too.

Now people can erase MorphOS and install AmigaOS4 and...oops...what I meant to say was people can install AmigaOS4 alongside MorphOS... and now they can have a drag!!
