    As we now can be assured of, MorphOS did not "stop using PowerPC in 2013" :-)


    Thanks! We wouldn't have noticed it without you...

    so why are people allways asking for new HW. didt this issue get resolved years ago.
    find it quite funny that people keep asking for HW ports, when we know the team is busy bug fixing and getting R300 driver better etc. they are still just a hand full of people.

    The time for new HW ports came and left, when they started Macmin G4 ports. now its Powermac G5 ports. soo until they say its gonna be anything else then PowerPC.
    just stop holding your breaths.....

    "I want PS3 port!" no thanks.
    "I want ARM port!" why?
    "I want Mos on x86" go aros?


    Thank you MorphOS Team, cant wait for the next great thing your gonna bring us! ;P

    I would rather the MorphOS team concentrate on improving the OS for the hardware we already have. Looking to the future is good, but at present the OS doesn't fully support the hardware its on.

    Jit for emu, wifi (Airport), printing (cups), Improved USB stack (audio usb out & capture, video out & capture), audio capture on native inputs, firewire stack improvement, duel monitor support, 3D support for all 2D supported video cards, at least for the ATI cards, firewall and server capabilities not to mention HD drivers/HDMI etc....

    Every time MOS runs on one piece of hardware, people want it to run on something else before the OS has matured on the hardware its currently on. Spending more time on new drivers than substance for what we already have.

    I would prefer a more complete OS, to improve the already impressive user experience. I don't want it to be a hobby OS.

    If i'm wrong or overlooked something, I apologize. I have been away for the most part for almost 2 years (Busy fighting the big C.), touching base as possible over time. My main connection with wifi and the world has been a freaking iPad. Boring.

    > Jit for emu

    Which emu do you mean? MorphOS' integrated m68k emu has a JIT called Trance that's activated by default. And E-UAE for MorphOS has been released with JIT recently.

    > 3D support for all 2D supported video cards

    I don't think using resources for implementing 3D support for ancient SiS, XGI or 3DLABS cards would be worthwhile. And even TinyGL support for Goa3D-supported 3dfx cards is debatable in my opinion.

    > at least for the ATI cards

    Do you mean the Rage128 Pro here? While there are MorphOS-supported Macs that originally came with this card, it only has 16 MiB VRAM, which is way too little for even semi-serious 3D use today.
    In case you mean TinyGL support for the Goa3D-supported Radeon 7x00 (R100) cards, which go up to 64 MiB VRAM (while in stock cards for Macs only up to 32 MiB), this would be nice indeed, especially given that they already had TinyGL support in pre-3.0 MorphOS with the old Rave3D-based tinygl.library.
