The Four Headsmen of Amiga (Reprint from August 2008)

Please note the Blog entry below is a reprint from August of 2008. We have re-posted it because it shows the value in competition between the four headsmen of Amiga.


The first time around when the Amiga was doing things other home computers never even thought of doing, Ray-traced 3D animation, stereo sound, bit blitter graphics, multitasking, etc, the Amiga lost out in the platform wars. Even the Mac lost out and was replace in name alone with a much more powerful hybrid. A NeXT, FreeBSD, Unix based operating system (Mac OS X). This time around the Amiga is not alone and has four headsmen; MorphOS, Amiga OS 4.1, AROS, Amiga Virtual Machine (Amiga Forever 2009). The IT industry is still young and at least one or more of these will rise again and be enjoyed by millions. The Amiga itself sold over 7 million machines and it was an exciting time. How many versions of the four headsmen of the Amiga will sell in the future is unknown but we hope for exciting times again. Innovative Developers and users will make it happen this time not a solo greedy parent company. We know who you were thinking but we meant Commodore.

Aspire in 4D!

Chicago, Illinois – November 2nd, 2009 (Offer Cancelled)

For Immediate Release

DiscreetFX & Acer are teaming up to bring you special pricing on Aladdin 4D. Purchase a dual booting Aspire One netbook between now and November 30th, 2009 and receive a discount on Aladdin 4D 5.0. The Aspire One running Google's Android OS is the first netbook that boots Android by default in 14 seconds. While this bootup is not as fast as Amiga OS 4.1 or MorphOS it is still an impressive feat. Customers have almost immediate access to Firefox, their e-mail and most other internet functions. Applications can also be purchased from the Android Store. Almost 10,000 applications are already available. Windows XP is also included and can be switched to with one click in Android. With this version of the Aspire One, XP becomes a guest operating system.

Just as owning a true IBM PC was no longer required in the 1990's since compatibility was achieved from clone makers such as DELL, Acer, Gateway, etc. Now Windows compatibility can be achieved by dual booting or even just running a Virtual Machine (VMWare) or the Windows API (CrossOver/Wine). DiscreetFX wishes to encourage this and thus is doing a special promotion with Acer. Only customers buying the Aspire One that runs Android will be eligible for a discount. After you purchase the netbook from your favorite retailer such as Amazon, send us a copy of your receipt and we will send you a Paypal invoice for a discounted price on Aladdin 4D 5.0. After you pay this invoice you will receive an e-mail with a link to download Aladdin 4D instantly with PDF manual.

You will also get a included upgrade coupon for a discount to the upcoming Aladdin 4D 6.0 on the platform of your choice. Sadly we are no longer offering free upgrades to 6.0. Aladdin 4D is a perfect 3D animation package for beginners or someone just getting started in animation software. Aladdin 4D renders almost instantly on the Acer Aspire One. Since Android is a version of Linux we are exploring adding support for it with the Linux version of Aladdin 4D 6.0. In order to run Aladdin 4D 5.0 with your Aspire One you will need to own a copy of Amiga Forever 2009 or WinUAE. If you don't already own this fantastic virtual machine please purchase via the link below. Since you will be running AmigaOS on your Aspire One we recommend buying the ruby red model. The Aspire One comes in black, blue and ruby red.

Acer stated the majority of Acer netbooks will offer Android in the future, Acer believes Android “will contribute significantly to the worldwide netbook market growth.”

Best way to run the current version of Aladdin4D 5.0

While you wait for new versions of Aladdin4D, one of the best ways to run the current version really fast is on the new dual booting Aspire One from Acer.

The Lost Decade


Daniel Lyons wrote an interesting article for Newsweek that talks about why Microsoft has been in trouble since Bill Gates stepped down and why the company has lost it's way for the last ten years. We consider Windows to be yesterday's tech and yes that includes Windows 7. Not only do we not sell Aladdin 4D for Windows, that version will be included for free when you buy the application for other platforms. This gesture is only to support customers and we consider the Windows version to be our lowest priority.

AROS gets accelerated 3D!

The incredible coder Krzysztof "Deadwood" Smiechowicz has released an "alpha demo" of 3D acceleration under AROS, and you can already use it on Icaros Desktop 1.1.5, you just need a GeForce card supported by the nuveau driver (GeForce 4, FX, 6 and 7 series, except probably some cut-down models). 3D acceration in AROS will come in handy for the AROS version of Aladdin 4D.



New Infinity Reboot Feature

If your upgrading from Windows Vista to Win7 you may encounter a new feature we like to call "Infinity Reboot ". Hope and pray you don't encounter this because your machine goes into an endless reboot process.Infinity Reboot is just one of several problems that Windows upgraders are dealing with. It's just MS way of saying thank you for buying Vista and 7. The Windows version of Aladdin 4D will not have this feature. More information via the linked news website below.

Market Caps and Apples

Sometimes we get asked why we don't make Aladdin 4D for Windows only and not other operating systems. The claim is with all the DELL, HP and Gateway's (now deceased/bought out) running Windows the business case is sound. Lets forget the death of Calagari trueSpace for a minute, which was Windows only.

 Many don't know this but Apple is eight times the size of Dell, larger than HP, larger than Intel, forty times the size of Acer and now 70% the size of Microsoft and closing. The business case for Aladdin 4D on Mac OS X is clear. Since DELL's, Acer's, and HP PC's run Linux as well as Windows, we don't miss out on those sales either. Once you open the curtain and look through it, the possibility's are endless in the post Windows world.

All Legal Issues Resolved for Amiga OS 4.x!

Great news last weekend for Amiga OS 4.x fans!








The Amiga Inc. vs Hyperion Entertainment lawsuit is finally over. After years and years of uncertainty, the two parties have now reached an extensive, end-all-be-all settlement agreement under which Hyperion gets the rights to the Amiga trademarks, as well as the rights to AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4.x, and any possible future version. This outcome is fantastic news for Amiga fans and Aladdin 4D customers that are excited to run A4D under Amiga OS 4.1 in the future.

Mac OS X version of Aladdin 4D Development Ahead of Schedule



The famous Shuttle scene from Aladdin 4D is now working multi-platform! This is a major milestone since Shuttle is one of the most complex A4D objects. Thanks to the advance development tools provided by Apple, the Mac OS X version  of Aladdin 4D is proceeding ahead of schedule. This does not mean that the other platforms are not just as important (except the Windows version). It just means the Mac OS X version will be the first version of Aladdin 4D 6.0 that ships.

Windows Guy?

You may have already heard that the innocent cast of Family Guy are the latest virtual shills for Windows 7. Will this be enough to help the ailing brand stop loosing market-share? Get ready for a full 30 minutes of Windows promotion woven into the show. Viewing is optional and is not required. Fast Company reported last year that a 30-second spot on "Family Guy" cost $200,000. Do the math to find out what thirty minutes would cost. Only time will tell if this marketing effort will pay off. More information via the LA Times article linked below.

Windows 7 Assigned Guest OS Status

At an Acer product launch in central London earlier today, Register Hardware got up close and personal with the firm’s first netbook to ship with two operating systems. The machine has been updated to run both Google’s Android OS and the 32-bit version of Windows 7.

The first point to note is that despite this two-OS capability, you can actually only boot up into Android. Switch the machine on from scratch or do a restart, and you'll go straight to the Google OS.
To load Windows 7, you must first start Android, then select "Switch OS" from Android’s slide-out menu and then wait for Windows to load up in the usual way.

Read full article and watch a YouTube video of dual booting via link below.

The Linux version of Aladdin 4D is very important for us but the Windows version is not. As you already know and as noted in the article above Windows continues to loose market-share and relevance.

7 in 11?


The release of version 7 of Windows will be here next week. Windows 7 is a better version of Vista, which failed miserably in the market, but will 7 succeed where Vista flunked? Seven is a desperate grab to save the Windows brand from the perception that Windows is a garbage operating system. This reputation was well earn in the past. The future is not certain but things should start to become clear on October 22nd, 2009. TG Daily seems to think Se7ven might be selling well by 2011 but they are not sure.

TG Daily Article


Our song remains the same about the Windows version of Aladdin 4D. We will never sell that version to customers but we will included it for free once it's complete. Customers will have to buy Aladdin 4D 6.0 on other platforms to get the Windows version of the 3D animation package.

Autodesk lost it's battle with Timothy Vernor

A Seattle judge ruled in favor of a man arguing that he has the right to sell secondhand software, in a case that had some people worried about an end to used-book and CD stores.

The suit was initially filed by Timothy Vernor after eBay, responding to requests by Autodesk, removed the Autocad software that Vernor was trying to sell on the auction site. EBay later banned Vernor from the site, based on Autodesk's complaints.

Vernor argued that since he was selling legitimate versions of the software -- not illegal copies -- he hadn't violated any laws. Autodesk contends that it doesn't "sell" its software, but instead licenses it and therefore prohibits buyers from reselling it.

Our position on this is you have every right to resell Aladdin 4D if you no longer need it. We recommend selling it for a high price to get some ROI but it's ultimately up to you. We only ask that you send us a one page statement transferring ownership information so we can keep the new customer informed about updates. Autodesk is just trying to make EULA excuses to insure everyone buys brand new copies. They are welcome to do that but it's not very customer friendly. We have no intention of punishing customers for their support. Buy, own and enjoy Aladdin 4D like you would a brand new Porsche. If you move on to LightWave 3D or stop using 3D software sell your copy with our blessing. We hope you had fun while it lasted and maybe you will come back one day.

Stench of Death!

The reason that M$ is pulling out all the stops and racing the train full speed to release Windows 7 is they know Vista already has the "Stench of Death". Vista is/was a failure and it's hurting their bottom line. The smell of death and decay is affecting the entire Windows ecosystem. Will Se7en be enough to save the brand? We doubt it. Little Asian children pimping Windows and bizarre poorly scripted launch party's are not the solution. What's next? Lady's of the evening on the corner telling John's don't forget your Windows 7 upgrade pretty please?

Once a brand is dead to customers it's very hard to bring it back. Maybe 7 will save the brand or maybe not. The patient is already dead (Vista), the Frankenstein resurrection is scheduled for October 22nd, 2009. Win or loose it should be a fun ride. The Windows version of Aladdin 4D will not be along for that ride since it's the last version we will complete. At least Windows XP users are spared the horrible but free Windows Movie Maker. It's for Vista and Win7 only thank goodness. MS should give everyone a carrot and include their recently murdered/slaughtered app Caligari trueSpace. Then the dead could walk together hand and hand.

Windows Is Dead?

If Windows 7 does not sell by the bucket loads then our Tombstone graphic might very well come true. There is no guarantee that Windows 7 will since it's just Vista warmed over. No applications required Vista or 7. Aladdin 4D for Windows will work fine on Windows 2000 or XP. With terrible marketing campaigns like the video below, 7 might not be a lucky number for Windows. If Windows 7 fails the company behind it is so doomed. We are glad Aladdin 4D is not attached to this ball and chain OS.

Aladdin 4D Tutorial Videos Coming Soon!

We recently aquired over fours hours of Aladdin 4D tutorial videos. These are older videos using the interface of the previous version (4.0) but the techniques they guide you through are still very much valid. We had heard rumors about these videos for many years but had a hard time tracking them down since they are so rare. Don't worry we will not be hording them they are being transferred as we write this post. These were unfortunately released on VHS since that was the popular format of that era. The video quality is ok but shows the limits of that format. We are capturing them as uncompressed video on the VT[5] (Video Toaster). Then they will be uploaded to the Aladdin 4D YouTube account in 10 minute chunks. They should be easier to watch and learn from that way. These are very valuable for anyone wanting to learn Aladdin 4D. Please excuse the old interface of the version in the video and instead focus on the tips and awesome techniques from the original Mr. Aladdin 4D himself Greg Gorby.

In the future we will be releasing more modern video tutorials once the new versions of the application start shipping.

Over 1 Billion Served

It's always nice to witness the birth of a new platform (iPhone). The speed of over a billion apps downloaded from the App Store is amazing. It just illustrates the changing landscape of software development and the nature of technological excellence. If you build good tech customers will quickly come. Software development today is a very different world then days gone past when Aladdin 4D was originally created. We watch and hope and dream for better days in the future.
