why spend thousands of dollars on a system that has no web browsing software? |
A system that has no web browsing ??? Odyssey is availible and it works in most case, aka in the 99% of the website worldwide, i wonder why some of you continue to repeat that nonsense ...
Beside this, updating the web browser it's not an Hyperion task (TW was only a personal project of the Frieden bros)
About OS updates, yes me also i don't understand why they keep us on hold for so long, time ago they included AmiUpdate by default exactly with the idea to send us quick updates rathen then "force" us in a long wait...

I beg to differ good sir, I can find multiple instances in my use of web browsing the internet that Odyssey is not able to meet your claim of 99% usability, or is it that I browse every page on the internet that falls within your 1% tolerance? In lieu of your possible reply to site example websites I will not bother to give you examples as it will not change my circumstances of the fact that I can not use my NG system how I would like to be able to, due to Amiga web browsers not meeting modern standards.

Yes I thought this would come up I should listen to my intuition more, The mere fact a Frieden saw fit to port it suggests to me that it was in Hyperions interests in the first place aside from the monetary incentive. To me it is in Hyperions interests to sell an operating system with a quality web browser if they want to be able to move the operating system forward and have there OEMS sell computers running the operating system.
What I object to regarding updates is I paid for AmigaOS when I purchased my Pegasos 2, then Hyperion switched to Amiupdate for a method of delivering quicker updates, then they decide to finish AmigaOS 4.1 by deciding the final update is a PAID (again) ISO only update that doesn't update an existing installation rather I have to reinstall from scratch this is annoying, and the update to top it off doesn't offer me much at all over update 6. Now we are left with a situation of stalled development with no updates because of the X5000 and now the A1222.

i think there are all busy... there are to many things in cooking and to less devs ... in computing: to much process and really less resources... result in many guru meditation

This is not hardware accellerated and was possible even with Picasso IV driver (eg. for transparent windows). However, it is not true compositing, games requiring compositing will not work. |
So there should be some missing feature, I suppose. Quote:
UAEGFX is much slower than Picasso IV (OS4), but I´m sure speed will improve in next releases. Interesting to note, OS4 started automatically with UAEGFX (with monitor file in Devs/Monitors), even though I changed nothing in Screenmode prefs. Nice for quick experiments. 
|
In fact: it's slow because it's just an experiment now. Toni explicitly said that first he wants to see the things working, and then I'll think about optimizations.
The good thing is that, once done, there's no need/dependency on some peripheral emulation, like a full graphic card, network card, etc.: they are directly offloaded to the host o.s., and the implementation can be made very fast. Quote:

I think that this version of WinUAE can be called "pavlor edition" when it'll be released, |
Betas are available even today.

Let's wait for the experiment to be completed, and optimizations done.  Quote:

What Hyperion can do to complete the work, is make a big gift to its OS4 "classic" users: introduce the already existing patch to let Z3 RAM be added to the system memory, removing the 128MB memory. |
Better to introduce needed changes for current and future kernels. Several years OS component (if we assume it exists) would offer only limited value.

Sorry, I didn't got it. What are you talking about?

Please what? This thread talks about OS4FE news from Hyperion. This o.s. is sold by the company for "classic" systems, which AFAIK are the only ones that can benefit from the digital download platform (by Cloanto).
The new that I reported is a very good new for OS4FE "classic", because it will greatly improve the user experience. So, it's a good new for Hyperion too, because more units could be sold (unless it doesn't like money ).
And since OS4FE "classic" suffers from the current 128MB limitation, it'll be a good new from Hyperion to have it removed.
What's wrong with all that? |

| @tlosm: what's not clear to you that this thread is about OS4FE, which is an o.s., and NOT a machine?
What's not clear to you that Hyperion is selling it for "classic" systems, which are basically used by customers with WinUAE? |

This thread is about Hyperion and the lack of updates for OS4.1 Final Edition. The fact that uaegfx now works in WinUAE is great news but it's really off topic here. If you want to discuss emulation features, limitations or improvements, you're very welcome to start a new thread.

As discussion about WinUAE features is clearly OT in this thread, you may start another (or continue via PM), if you are interested in current WinUAE/OS4 experience. |

Well, at least one eastern european store sold FE Classic vs other 10:1. I don´t think PowerUP cards were sold in such great numbers in Poland.  |
