    Using “Morph Oh Ess” you really get to appreciate where things would have gone with the Amiga if Commodore haddnt have F’d it up. I have a G4 purchased just for this and a G5 with PCIEX, just waitng to get a compatible graphics card and away we go, dual boot Mac OS and Morph OS. Thanks for making the time to produce this video.

    Cool episode, I use MorphOS on three machines, two PowerBook G4 and one iMac G5 A1145. Previously, there was Efika 5200B and eMac G4 in the MiniTower housing. In Poland, this system is used by many Amiga users, and Elude and Encore are "our Polish" groups. BTW: Don't forget to turn on Slayer :)

    Ciao and thank you for this great Video.. personally i have wonderful memories of Amiga Computer.. i had my first A500 in late 1989, together with a 512kb memory Expansion Card..i did my first steps into creating Desktop Wallpaper and Tracker Music (protracker, oktalyzer), i've made my own Tool Disks in the early 1990's and had many Public Domain Disks collected.. in 1998 on my PC i had the fabulous BeOS 3.2 installed and in the 2000's used Powermacs with OS X, love the Aqua UI.. so in the early 2000's i was a part in the global Desktop Customizing Scene and AS for today i'm using Debian 12 Linux with KDE Plasma 5, have created a new Amiga Desktop Wallpaper Out there (3200x2400px), i'm now 54, so many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃

      I think most people knew there's zero chance any new "next gen" Amiga hardware being affordable whilst they continue to use PPC. It's a niche architecture with very little commodity hardware available, so it's expensive. I honestly don't know why they continue developing such hardware when they know Amiga fans either can't afford, or just aren't prepared to pay high end prices for slow, limited hardware. Especially if it's running an insecure OS that can't utilise multi-core CPUs, and a has a tiny software library, most of which is old hat and/or inferior to Windows, Linux and Mac software. Port OS4 to ARM or RISC V and have access to widely available and CHEAP hardware. 🙄

      MorphOS and the apps are way beyond AOS4.X at this point. What Chris has demoted in the last few morphos videos shows how big the divide is. Heck, people use this box and os to run their businesses on and that is super cool... If the 4.x folks had a brain they should have just adopted this os and dumped their own os years ago...

    I really appreciate that Morph exists. That team really picked up PPC support while Commodore was falling apart.
    Good thing that they got to go and make the OS how they thoughts it should be.
    As always, I wish it was supported on more hardware. Like the Wii, XBox360, and WiiU are all PowerPC based and there are a zillion of them.

    • @another3997
      @another3997 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Wii and Xbox 360 are both closed, proprietary systems, so they would require some kind of modding in order to get MorphOS on to them. You'd still need someone to write low level drivers for all the hardware, which wouldn't be trivial. The only thing they have in common is they both use PPC based CPUs.

      @another3997 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Why should either be FOSS? When people put a lot of work in to a project, they might want to get something in return. If think Hyperion should either sell OS4 to people who are more motivated to improve it, or join forces with other OS developers and port it to other platforms, even if it's just PPC Macs.

    I repurposed one of my 17" PowerBook G4s for MorphOS. It works pretty well but I'm just the occasional user, not one of the Jedi Masters.
    What I find missing with all new Amiga related OS's is the lack of video editing. Amiga was the go-to multimedia machine, at the tail end of its peak, we had MovieShop (VLM & DraCo), Toaster/Flyer, Digital Broadcaster, and PAR (if you kludged it), at the dawn of nonlinear digital video editing. Is there een a basic iMovie-type NLE for Amiga? Anyway, back to MovieShop on my A4000 & DraCo.

    • @JellyPowered
      @JellyPowered 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yeah, Elude demos launch in a window by default on these newer platforms because modern monitors don't support 320x240 modes that often anymore. Safer to get something shown. When you launch the demos from the Shell with the -double argument, you get the fullscreen mode which is likely to work on modern monitors. And there's also the -wide argument for 640x380x8 widescreen mode if you have such an screenmode added in your system.
