Given that, at least back when I still used the Amiga, the community Amiga Resource Project (ARP) was free, open source, and superior in all respects to Commodore's "official" AmigaDOS, so much so that it was adopted by Commodore at one point, why would one want this?
I find it hard to believe Commodore got better at writing system software as it got worse at everything else and then went bankrupt.
- bhaak 11y agoCorrect me if I'm mistaken but ARP was patching only 1.2/1.3 and when 2.0 came along, most of the complaints that started ARP had been resolved. I remember patches that patched ARP so it would use the new 2.0 (i.e. standard file requester). I always thought ARP had been obsolete with 2.0?
- vidarh 11y agoARP provided an exceedingly tiny set of additional APIs. It's not in any way a replacement for AmigaOS. AROS is closer, but while it's vastly superior in some aspects (not least: it runs on pretty much every modern platform you might care about in some form or other - either native, or hosted under Linux or other), it's also still not a complete replacement in others.
