Strictly speaking, it runs on the CSPPC and on the AmigaOne, that's two platforms.
Strictly speaking, I don't see much change for a Pegasos version, since - only 600 exist - trade-in offer in effect will diminish this even more.
It's not only the work to actually get it to the Pegasos, it is also the support that needs to be maintained.
Peg II, now we'll see if there are more being produced to make it viable, but 600 boards pre-production that may get traded in?

I don't have any problems with our games running on MorphOS, I never have done anything to prevent them from doing so (or on Amithlon for the matter). I only have a problem with canibalization of my work, but that is a different story._________________ Seriously, if you want to contact me do not bother sending me a PM here. Write me a mail |

I didn't want to imply that owning a Pegasos automatically means you have to hate me. However, probability is higher than among AmigaOne owners

Very much unlikely because of the usual licence issues ("AmigaOS" brand name). Sorry, but even leaving emotional reasoning aside, the commercial reasoning is enough to speak against it, especially with the limitation on board numbers being produced..._________________ Seriously, if you want to contact me do not bother sending me a PM here.

I as a Pegasos owner (or despite that) has a high respect for you guys, as I can play with your games, and they are incredibly fast. That these are working flawlessly in an "alien" environment (there is no custom hardware underneath) speaks for the quality of the PPC port you've done. MorphOS does pretty much to make programs usable on the "alien" hardware, yet badly written or bogus programs won't work. Again, it speaks of considerable foresight from your part. When these ports were done, there was no new hardware at hand. So everytime I play for example my Heretic 2 copy, you have my respect as well  |

- OS4 currently runs on CSPPC and AmigaOne. - Pegasos development seems unlikely due to limited existing boards and trade-in offers. - MorphOS compatibility incentivizes Hyperion's game sales which indirectly funds OS4 development, not a direct financial gain. |
