I better wait for fully PPC OS.

Fred, maybe you should talk to Bill Buck of Genesi/Thendic France ( The MorphOS pushers). Apparently they are willing to support ( discounts on hardware, maybe get paid too) developers for MorphOS.

I don`t wanna get into a MorphOS/ OS4 flame war on here..but if PB came out for MorphOS, I`d buy one right away..

Fully agree with you, Demon. The Pegasos should be useful for running MorphOS as well MacOS (MacOnLinux emulator), and probably also for AmigaOS 4.0 if there will be an agreement between Thendic/Hyperion... So there is one platform for several (PowerPC) OS. From what I've heared on german Amiga forum, Genesis is really interested on great developers for their platform, so maybe a cheap (or probably free) Pegasos for Fred is possible

Yeah, I talked to Bill at WOASE in November, I was asking him about what development stuff was gonna be available, and I told him about PureBasic and how good it was ( He also offered me a Peggy for £300 with a free upgrade to a G4 ..wish I`d taken him up on it )

So how hard to we have to torture Fred until he agrees to port PB?
It`ll be like the Amos and Blitz days all over again...

Fred,

I would also very much like to see an updated PB for Amiga !

The main reason why I have not joined the forums was because :

Amiga PB unstable, old.

0 Amiga forum activity -> lost interest

I would like to see the REACTION GUI elements available (if not already) for PB.

If an updated Amiga 68k version is released and advertised a bit on csam, demo upload to Aminet, then gain more interest & publicity of PB.

Then we can have more developer come on board, then with more uptodate features added to Amiga PB we can get some decent Amiga apps made.

Hopefully when AmigaOS 4.0 is released, a simple recompile with GCC should get the PPC version up and running.

68k is not dead, I use Winuae emulation as main system + my A1200.

what would happen if there is NO AmigaOS 4 ?
no NEW Amiga PB

chicken and the egg.

Amigans WILL pay for software now !
update the Amiga version and I will buy TODAY. and you can Quote me !

you may even licence it on the official Amiga developer cds !!

If only the developers of the visual pb can make an Amiga development suite - that would be fantastic !

Question :

can PB be used to make arcade games ?

just waiting for stable Amiga pb

Later, Asy

All is done in asm on amiga for speed and you talking about WinUAE. That's exactly why I don't want to push more efforts on a DEAD processor.

About the 'simple' recompilation with gcc, the core compiler will do it, but all the libraries are lost (asm) and I have to make them all again. Without count on the ASM generation which is only partially working for PPC (and quite old now). So it's not that easy but I will probably do it if the OS is good enough.

About the the arcade games, yes you can do it (using the Amiga custom chip) now.

Please consider re-write of asm to C -for portability.
If you really decide not to do it, then consider contacting sidewinder (amiga.org) as he is makeing an Amiga basic compiler anyway.

I believe that speed is not really important, now that we have G3/G4 Amigas @600-800mhz.

Portability IS.

I use WinUAE and Amiga1200/030
Soon I will have a AmigaOne G4 @800mhz.

I really like the idea of a cross platform BASIC !

To be honest I wanted to use the visual editor for purebasic on a pc and was hoping to have the ReAction gadgets in the Amiga version of purebasic.

This way I could have the page/tabs for an application made & the rest of the GUI. I would then test it on the PC version and then create it for the Amiga and upload to Aminet my latest creation.

Later if I ever get a decent GUI creator for Amiga I would move over completly to an Amiga IDE.

That is what I wanted.

Please don't, not in ASM, portable C or
vp virtual processor (platform independent AmigaDE).

thanks for your reply and efforts, may we keep Amiga alive 4eva

Respect, Asy

ack! This goes against the very core/essence of PB!
