And wouldn't it be much greater if I wouldn't have to do anything to get the new features? You get that guarantee by using the operating system, *right now*. More colors, higher speed.

Which skills? The "Banging the hardware skill" is already lost, the chipset works differently for chunky than it does for planar - it has to. However, the skills of using the calls of graphics.library haven't changed, and continue to work.


This project operates at the wrong end. It defines a new hardware layer, and shows no interest in the software, hoping that "somebody else solves that problem". However, if you already ruin compatibility with existing software, how likely is that going to happen?

Banging the hardware don't need an OS.
If you want still to play with OCS/ECS/AGA chipsets you are welcome, but it's just for your fun. Surely it's NOT future proof coding.
Unfortunately this bad practice was the death of Amigaos.

IMHO RTG is the way.
