Only thing i mean with compatible was that the capture devices takes low resolutions by today's standards (like 640x480 etc). |

I haven't bothered to read all of this thread but I think some people are getting way too hung up on compatibility. Even real Amiga HW models aren't really that compatible with each other, esp. when you take into account different versions of OS libraries and the various patches/hacks that people run....

Gunnar made a general comment about the direction and intent of the Apollo core, which will adress relatively frequently asked questions;

EDIT: Actually do have some pasta: And this is why Apollo will never be a developer friendly platform, everything changes like the wind. |

You could say that Gunnar needs to count to 10 every now and then, but when people prefere to focus on the shortcomings in a negative way instead of appriciating the work that has been done SO FAR, then I would have lost my patience far more frequent and earlier (I think). So Gunnar isnt a perfect public relations guy, but an engineer/coder. Tbh the hardcore computer guys Ive met thru the decades have never fit the "PR" friendly mold. Take kolla. I actually find quite a few of his posts intresting, and he raises decent questions. But like quite a few others, he often have to add a negative jab before he presses "post reply", for what? The reciver of said post will now have a negative attitude when replying, instead of an objective one. And we end up with 10 pages of hostility. This happens in thread after thread. Again, maybe cause computer savvy people aint as good with humans as they are with compilers? (See, I did a jab too). |

I don't know how Gunnar wants to run Linux, but I was under the impression that having a fancy, full featured MMU would lengthen the pipeline and kill much of the performance gains enjoyed by the Apollo core.
If it is possible to get AmosPro running well enough on it that I can make games and other stuff, I will be happy because it is still an Amiga. As for running Linux, I am content with a RasPi or ODroid and don't think it's worth the effort to get Linux on the Vampire. AROS is a better goal since the license battles between Hyperion and Cloanto make things bad for the whole Amiga community. Last edited by Samurai_Crow; 15 November 2017 at 16:39. |

Why should Gunnar care if people want to lose performance when running a memory-protected OS? In my opinion the MMU would not slow down anything when unused. It's basically just slower memory from the point of view of the CPU Cache because the additional latency gets added between cache and the actual memory.

And Gunnar has had 2 cups of coffe today it seems. He decided to go into more details about the MMU mechanics of legacy and Apollo;

Thierry wishes for Apollo Core in NeXT Cube, or running NeXTSTEP on Apollo Core, but cannot state strongly enough how useless a MMU is - any MMU. Gunnar steps in to calm everyone down by saying Linux may happen, but not now. Everyone is nodding in agreement.

Sort of. Gunnar wants to have hardware based memory protection so it affects chipset DMA as well.

A progress update from the Apollo guys would be nice. The Q4 release is clearly not realistic anymore...
