Natami - Update

[Buleste]

On the Paula front whilst the DMA is fully implemented and producing sound it is only at the 6 and 8 bit level and because Paula is a strange beast (it was improved in the 1200,3000,4000) it still has a few quirks. On some Paula's the L/R channels are reversed even though the design is basically the same and it's these quirks and what to do about improving the Paula that has to be solved.

Why the hell would you want a 1.3 skin? Too much blue screen for my liking. However if you could do a MWB skin, Newicons skin, Glow icons skin as well as whatever they use that would be good.


BTW someone did a cruel April Fools joke that basically said that Amiga Inc had approved the Natami and that the latest OS would be Natami compatible and that the Natami could be officially classed as an Amiga.

Just for a laugh

I hadn't looked at the NAtami pages for a while and all of a sudden there are pictures of a Natami Party for all the developers showing the Natami up and running Amiga software. Visit here to have a look.

Nice, but when?

That is really cool news. Software now running is a huge leap forward for the project. It was going so slowly for so long. I was unconvinced by a video I saw today on youtube showing the NatAmi running Giana Sisters as it only showed the screen and not the hardware, but these photos show a lot more promise of where the project really is.

Lets hope it now gets continued to a final production system, and doesn't head the same way as all the other promising projects.

I think more promise would be shown with an AGA game up and running as at the moment it is using an altered C-One/MiniMig core and after watching this video and looking at the WB screen then it could easily be stuff running on a 1200 with 4MB or so of RAM runing OS3.9.

Still, it is a promising start as it is at least showing something functioning.
