Workbench graphics was not annoying, since the output is fast enough, but the 3D graphics library for AmigaOS 4.0 have many functions omitted and not many 3D graphic utilizing software is availableįor it. Lack of the 3D graphics acceleration for the (Optimization 2) turned on, which made me to ask people with Amigas having 512MB RAM to compile some parts of the source and send them back to me. For example the SimCoupe main executable with 256MB RAM is not able to compile with GCC and O2 flag Having no virtual memoryĮxcluded me doing serious projects or even compiling with all the optimization turned on.
Shortly after reading the news I was tempted by the new features described, especially when some of these were vital or their lack annoying to my current computer usage. According the announcement theĮxpected release to the public was in mid-Q3/2008 or August 2008 Developed by Hyperion Entertainment and third party contributors AmigaOS 4.1 was first officially announced in July 2008. Amiga OS 4.1 is the official successor of AmigaOS 4.0 which itself is based on AmigaOS 3.x, and is their natural successor.
