A lot of new software (and whole OS distributions) take advantage of this to the point that they are useless even on the fastest real Amiga accelerators. Mplayer for 68k Amigas? Exists. Amigas that can run it? None, unless you like slideshows. Retro revisionism!

Yeah I hate this. There's a lot of useless 68k ports. Even those that need a 060 are ridiculous, since the 060 userbase is tiny.

Well, shit. Nvm then.

Why would you release anything if you don't think it's good?

Hardware back then was built to last. Nowadays it is made for it to break on purpose. With the rate at which technology advances, wether it breaks or not is irrelevant, you will probably have to change it anyway. This rate is exponential so it will only become shorter.

Specially with computers, I think you can't hold on to one for more than 2 yers without it starting to become useless. It does seem emulation will ultimately be the only way to keep the old machines alive somehow, even though I think the original hardware will keep running as long as you can find components to fix it. I just had my 20 year old Amiga repaired and it has been put to a state of 'like new', so I assume that old dog will be around and kicking, for sure, in 2020.

Well, no, it depends, since there are different methods to produce it, and then you pass it by an 8-bit DAC... in this case I have to say, it's detrimental to the case of the Amiga: it ends up sounding like shit if it exceeds one or two cycles.

But when you do cycle ones you are limited by the frequency response... It's a tough one every time I try to get decent bass on my Amiga.

Damn son! Thanks Akira!

Uhm, I didn't get the irony... xD

I was thinking AHX or Musicline. A triangle wave is a triangle wave regardless of the machine it's produced on, right?

I love the AD of the Amiga and it packs good bass but it only works with single cycle sine waves or stuff like that. Any proper bass sample is reduced to a pile of noise. It can't do proper sublow, at least never the ones I need of it.

I agree with the NES triangle waveform being very bassy too. It would be my second choice after the C64. The SiD's filter just give it the edge.

C64 has the meanest bass. I know, it's not a console, but...
