Who says they need to be from outside MorphOS Team? In the current situation (closed source) can theoretically anyone from MOS Team port MOS to anything he wants even if some/most/all of the other team members or the team head/heads don't like it? Probably not.

Also "different hardware" would be possible with other means, like a version of MOS which runs on top of Linux (or even the easier Linux/X11) instead of on top of Quark. Which doesn't require huge knowledge/skills about lowlevel hardware on the specific machine.

Oh no! more damn linux stuff again!

MOS is nice, but it is time to move on.
MOS on top of linux will be something very usefull.

I think MorphOS should be turned into an SDL application. Endless possibilities.

Well, this is how most (all ?) ports were created for many years now... Somebody doing the dirty work because he wanted to: Mac mini, laptops, x64 and even more unreleased or unfinished stuff most people hardly ever heard of...

@Georg

You do know that such a thing alrerady exists?


Yep, called AROS and such as AROS "OpenMorphOS" would run almost everywhere.....


















...almost

SDL is great idea.
AROS is not good enough.
AROS devs do not care about quality and compatybility.

So everyone in MOS team (is "MOS Team" == "Core Development Team" listed on https://www.morphos-team.net/team?) has and always has had access to all necessary MOS parts (like Quark) to make this possible and never needed anyone else's OK to go ahead?

Yes, I'm one of the many people who wrote code for AROS.

The thing with MOS is that it runs on top of Quark kernel which user see nothing about when using MOS. So could be replaced with Linux kernel and user still not seeing anything about it. So for user nothing changes (except maybe with Linux kernel it would be a bit faster ... ;-p)

The advantage is that Linux kernel does not need to be ported/adapted to new hardware while with Quark it seems like every new hardware even if for user it looks like very similiar (Mac G4 version A <-> Mac G4 version B) needs work on the Quark kernel.

I wonder for example when a new port to new hardware was done - like Mac G5 - how much of work/time was needed to adapt/port Quark. And how much work/time was needed for the rest of MOS. Or in other words how much time/work would have been saved if porting/adapting the kernel was not needed.

Fingers crossed. :)

My real expectation is MOSX64 asp.

But waiting MOSX64, it would be nice to have :

-more graphic cards fully supported.
-Warp3D support for all graphic cards.
-Scube fixed
-The ability to drag screens by title bar like legacy AmigaOS. Unfortunately, Dragon isn't a good solution.
-Update Lucy with the ability to make transparent windows only when they are moved.
I know, some of those wishes are not morphos team dependent, but all are related with the OS usage.

- MorphOS x64/x86 all day way.

End of the world :D

.... as we know it



AND I FEEL FINE

Quote:
Newer graphics cards would be really good. Warp3D I don't need because I don't play. But dragging screens is a feature that I really miss. It can be turned off on default then the user can decide.

How about OS4?

How about a street cat from Athens?

Not an option without Warp4D or Warp5D.

For me, I really hope for some serious progress on X86. I love MorphOS. But, I put away my Macbook running 3.12 and have not turned it on in a long, long time now. It's just so under powered that the experience was just not fun anymore. I can't see me every investing in an old Mac Desktop. Same reasons, they are almost 15 years old now and so very, very far behind.

I know it isn't an easy thing. I know the devs are well aware that we all want it. When I saw that video I had hope. Hope that MorphOS wasn't going to just die out with the PPC hardware. I just hope it is sooner rather than later.

Thanks

Actually you've all been rather spoilt on the CPU front. The progression of hardware over the last 10 years has been very little compared to before it. I'm still playing top-end modern games with a PC that I bought in 2011. A PC you bought at turn of the milennia could literally be obsolete in four months.

This of course means that Apple PPC hardware has been given far more time to get old gracefully than 68k ever did. You have literally been handed many more years to productively use MorphOS on PPC macs than we could ever have expected.

Software hasn't stayed still though. That's where the bigger problem lies for the moment. Jaca seems busy fixing that on the browser front.
