The budget required for such a project cannot be collected by selling tickets - therefore the theater project tries to collect the 12.000 Euro via the crowd funding platform StartNext.

MorphOS: Support of other CPU-architecture planned
Three years ago the MorphOS-team for the first time thought about a change of the CPU-architecture. During the discussion about MorphOS on the X5000, the question was asked again on Morphzone.info, which answered Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen :
"When MorphOS gets ported to AMD64, we will not be supporting Macs. AMD64 Macs have all the wrong hardware for that to make any sense. When such a time does come, expect us to support one desktop motherboard (with one family of CPUs and GPUs) and one laptop. We'll of course make sure it's hardware that's actually available one way or another."
Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen also confirmed that on a long-term basis it is planned to support different processor architectures. The only reasonable options are ARM and AMD64. Which one then finally will be support still was not decided. Olsen pointed out to his statement from November 2014. There he explained all the problems occuring when changing the CPU.

Hyperion: statement about the company's current situation
In February, Hyperion was declared bankrupt by a Belgian judge, but two months later the judgement got reversed again. The company has now released a statement detailing their view on the matter and announcing an internal reorganization.
Press release: Contrary to some news items posted on certain websites, Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is not in a state of bankruptcy. Due to an unfortunate set of cirucmstances, the company was temporally listed as "bankrupt" despite the fact that the conditions for bankruptcy were never met and that in the eyes of the law, the company was never bankrupt.
Development of AmigaOS 4 (which recently culminated in the release of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition) is and has been ongoing albeit that some resources had to be directed away to support the upcoming hardware of A-EON Technology.
The company is in the process of reorganizing itself by opening up its shareholdership and appointing a new exective director. More details on that will follow when all legal formalities are behind us.
Quite a few AmigaOS 4 supporters have approached us with the question what they can do to help us accelerate development of AmigaOS 4.2.
To that we have a very simple answer: please upgrade all your AmigaOS 4 capable hardware to AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition.
Not only will AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition be used as a base-line for future updates, you will also help us to accelerate AmigaOS 4.2 development!
Those of you who have other concrete ideas, we welcome to contact us.
We appreciate your support and we look forward to meet you at any of the upcoming celebrations of the Amiga's 30th birthday!
