Unhappy Amithlon & Amigaforever

I have just learned that Amithlon is no more and work has ceased to develop or distribute it,this is sad.

I love WinUAE and using the Amiga via it,what are the benefits of using Amigaforever and what is the difference/benefits between Amigaforever and WinUAE if there are any?

Thanks,

James

Amiga Forever comes with Kickstart roms. There is no other benefit. It includes an outdated WinUAE and you are supposed to pay for it.

Probably not, however I'll stand corrected if he can enlighten us all on this particular point

I also bet that Brian King never saw any royalties neither

The most significant difference between WinUAE and Amithlon is, that WinUAE runs on top of Windows and Amithlon boots with a Linux Kernel and need no Host-OS to run on Amithlon is way faster than WinUAE but won´t let you play old games, cause Amithlon got no Custom Chip support (that´s why it is so fast ) ...

Reliable sources, please.
http://www.amithlon.de, which points to Haage & Partner, doesn't tell ANYTHING about a ceased development of Amithlon on its website.
As that company is the Amithlon copyright holder, there MUST be a news first on this site until I believe this information is really true.

Well, ok, Amithlon isn´t dead in the view of H&P and Amiga Inc. but if you read this, you will see that Bernie quit work on Amithlon and that is the same as *dead*
