It's now impossible to keep up with the PC or Mac for that matter. The only hope is to somehow fully take advantage of GPU cards from AMD or Nvidia some time in the future. This would have to fully support the GPU in the Amiga Operating System to make sense. Also, the Amigas future will probably be a hobbist system from now on so at least the pressure of keeping up with PC or Mac is over.

Well, it makes some people happy, so I guess it is what it is.
There won't ever be any messianic, unifying event in the Amiga community. Even if somebody released an open source, reasonably priced miracle hardware tomorrow, people would still carry on using their Vampires, Pistorms, TFs, and what have you. |

Maybe a great multi-platform IDE for all Amiga flavors would help solve this problem. Hollywood was trying to do this but I've never coded in it.

PPC and 0S 4, Morphos, and AROS are separate 'branches' with their own 'standards' that they can define as they see fit. This should have no impact on the real Amiga standard. Quote:

I haven’t learned Hollywood personally so I don’t know it yet. I purchased it years ago and did many upgrades but never go around to learning it. AmigaKit seems to get good results out of it somehow.

Vampire would be a nice choice for you. I would also seriously consider an A600 with a Pistorm. It depends whether you can live with an emulated CPU vs a FPGA hardware-emulated/simulated/recreated/implemented/whatever-the-whole-argument-bores-the-hell-out-of-me CPU. Crucially, you'll still be using the Amiga's original custom chips, which seems most important to you (particularly audio) so at heart you're using classic hardware, but with a boosted CPU, RTG if you want it, wifi, fast SD card, etc. And Pistorm is in very active development, thanks in no small part to the amazing work of the guy posting above me! |

I can't speak for that guy but speaking personally, one thing I would love to be able to do - and this is niche - is create my own virtual hardware (arm native software running on the metal) that's exposed as some set of memory mapped registers to the 68K side. As for what that virtual hardware is, well, that's the point - it's up to me. But it would be so cool if there was something like a mechanism for loading that in, so that it could be set or reconfigured at runtime.
This is in no way a demand, just a wish and nothing that would prevent me buying one. |

Pistorm(32) really is software defined, and you're aren't "limited" to Emu68, though of course in practice you'd probably not do everything from scratch. |
