- Because when you press the Amiga-M keys the OS hits the hardware although you
- made a LoadView(0). This changes the synch registers, in the best case.
- Amiga-M/N keys have to be filtered if you want to make a demo/game that hits
- the hardware (I challenge anyone to demonstrate that with the OS you can do
- everything, you -cannot- make the great effects that you should ask Amiga
- coders to make). Definitely, I agree to push the compatibility as far as
- possible, but we cannot think with OS's C/C++ programmers mentality when we've
- to make technically amazing DemoEffects/games.
- This is sad maybe, but absolutely true.

-
- I dont want to call 10 libraries to run 10 routines long 20-100 bytes each.
- I dont know if you understand, but you'll hear this from many other coders.
- Just accept it please, there're good reasons.
-
- So, should we start this public collaboration?
- I know that some of the people that wish for better compatibility for games/
- demos in this newsgroup are OS's assembly programmers. If they want, they can
- improve considerably compatibility of the demo/games written by the genial
- "τ°╨µrz", as the "cathegory" has been sadly called.
- Just write these simple routines/docs in a clear way that will push any coder
- to use them.
