* Petunia Just-In-Time 68k emulator.

I had a feeling about today, I guess that's why I brought my memory stick to work!

Downloaded , just a couple of hours to go before I can use.

Cheers,

ARRGHGHH!!! I checked this morning before leaving for work...no update. First thing I GET to work, it's there!

Okay, the Amiga gods just don't like me:

1) I got my microA1 delivered to me at work on a day that I had to work until like 10:00 at night, and

2) Update 4 comes out on the same kind of day!! Oh, today's going to be torture!!!

But you know what? Regardless, update 4 is out, so as far as I'm concerned....

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!!


Oh, btw...is there a COMPLETE list of features available anywhere? Couldn't find it on the site...Might as well have something to look at at work.

In the mean time...

PEANUTBUTTERJELLY...PEANUTBUTTERJELLY...PEANUTBUTTERJELLY WITH A BASEBALL BAT!

Argh - I go off to a meeting at 3, and miss the announcement!

Where's the full list of features? Where are the screenshots and videos? Where are the compatibility tests for Petunia?

COME ON YOU GUYS - get downloading and tell all us poor folks who don't have an A1 what we're missing!!!

@Hyperion developers, testers and other
Good job! How much would it cost us to buy you each a beer in order to say thanks?

Awesome.

I was going to leave town for the weekend, but now that we got even more snow (so even 800 meters from the ocean we have really good skiing conditions and -3 degrees C) and update 4 is out (and my OS4 betatester application seems to have gone through the paper mill as well this week) I might just call my parents YET AGAIN to tell them I won't be popping by

Alternatively I'll download some more pdfs and lock myself at my fathers place and not come out until I have defined the library symbols for the 8349E, PLX6150, µPD720101 and the DDR connector. But that would be sensible, and surely this is a time for celebration, not being sensible?

This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

Great news, thanks Hyperion! So that "T" stood for "tomorrow" as we hoped
I had to do some tweaks to make the download work from my workplace (which has the 8080 blocked), but I have made it. Can't wait to go home now

Even though the instructions mention a Split-version folder, I
can't find it. Is it there?? Am I missing something?? I hope
I'm not going to have to beg for a split-version for dialup
users like I've had to do for other large releases.

Is the split-version there??
