No, not really.
>when its released, it should include a readme which states.... free to anyone apart from Amiga forever Agreed :-) @Zetro: >Once a new Kickrom is developed that is as compatible with 3.1 as possible - then looks at a workbench replacements - improved software porting in and out of the AROS community! AROS is still targeting 3.1 instead of 3.9 even 10 years after the release of 3.9. When will they ever catch up <sigh> ... |

>The end result is a feature set somewhere inbetween OS3.1 and 3.9 however 3.1 is still used as the _base_ of our goals.
Thanks THB. But your excerpt just confirms what I was saying. So it's basically OS3.1 with some but not all OS3.5/3.9 enhancements. Similar to the situation with OS4 - they started with ancient OS3.1 and still not all OS3.5/3.9 enhancements have been incorporated - but at least OS4 has ReAction, if I was using AROS I'd be stuck with crappy GadTools or awful MUI. |

@Minuous
You know that noone forces you to use Aros and/or the free Kickstart replacement. I think it's quite a task to reengineer an OS and I think the Aros guys are not doing too bad. |

@Minuous
so U never upgraded your Kickstart from 1.2 to 1.3 or 1.1 to 1.2 wow or 2.0 to 3.0 I utterly fail to see how you cannot see the benefits that a successful project like this will bring to all our lives @thread Go team toni, I hope you don`t need your crystal ball to much I was trying install aros to take to Blackpool but did`t get round to it, seems I`ve got an added incentive to try again now |

We are discussing KickROM not Operating System There are NO official 3.9 KickROM's these are CUSTOM - tailored to the hardware target that uses them. OS replacements / updates can come later As much as I am not an MUI fan - when properly setup its pretty good especially on limmited ECS machines- I wont hear a bad word about GadTools (I love gadtools) well usually I replace everything in code anyway - but hey its a great bit of prototyping software for me. =) Last edited by Zetr0; 12 November 2010 at 14:03. |

Just had a quick Play - Impressive start, I know nothing is going to work 100% yet but tried a few IPFs
Now gonna try adding some WB Libs and Commands to the Aros Boot disk. Keep up the good work Guys Last edited by Retro1234; 13 November 2010 at 13:58. |

Does it work out of the box now or did you do anything special (with serial port)?

Graphics updates are currently painfully slow, most rectangle based graphics routines fall back to getpixel and putpixel if driver does not implement real block based graphics routines.
Blitter routines will be implemented in next few days. |
