I've seen some commercial companies that do this (cinema ware wings I think did it), where they basically have UAE, with a bit of code added to auto boot into the emulator and the Amiga game so the end user never even sees the emulator, I just wounder how it done and would it be legal to sell game complied like this with the Aros Kickstarter? Plus could a compiler be made that just allows you to do this.

Well hopefully if your making AMOS game, you won't need to emulate AmigaOS or hardware at all, I have been working new project to run AMOS code on AmigaOS4, as of now you need start the interpreter by command line.

I guess what I'm hinting at here is that you not always need emulator, if you have the code, I'm also think about idea maybe only need to emulate some stuff and branch out to libraries and stuff to do graphics and sound, dropping emulating sound card, IO, disk stuff like that.

So it's possible that don't need UAE at all, UAE does lot stuff you wont need to do if you had the source code and know how it was working.

It's also interesting if look back 80/90, when the same games came out for PC, ATRAI, AMIGA, AMSTRAD and sometime C=64/128, the size of games where maybe not that big back then.

@NutsAboutAmiga: Your insight about running AMOS code on AmigaOS4 without emulation is intriguing! It suggests a future where developers can leverage source-based solutions for graphics and sound instead of relying heavily on emulator functionalities like UAE, potentially streamlining the development process.
