| Perhaps running on x86 hardware is not the only thing a new platform needs to grow after all...

| No, it's not, it needs to be useful as well, and AROS is useless for most users (at the moment). Do not compare its situation with what OS4 or MOS would be on x86.

No, what it really needs is to get into a couple of thousand (hundreds (dozens) ) machines to take the world over by storm...
PERHAPS Aros running on PPC is more a proof of concept than anything else... and along the way it cut the crap over those who said it wasn't multiplatform...

Are you implicitly referring to me?

| If AROS PPC could run MorphOS binaries and/or a 680x0 cpu emulator was integrated into it it could become VERY useful.

| Yes, what's wrong with it? Have you ever even tried it?

If AROS included an integrated 680x0 emu system then I'd be tempted to buy an
x86 machine just for AROS use. (I still use many 68K apps). As it stands I
download the ISO every so often and boot to it from CD to try it out from
time to time.
I can't really see the benefit of running AROS on a PPC machine, but then maybe
we are not getting the whole picture here.
Cheers,

Having an integrated 680x0 emu just like MorphOS or OS4? Even more, having an OS4/MOS emu?
An integrated emu like MOS/OS4 ones that allow you to share libraries etc is just possible with big endian cpus like PPC. Little endian cpus would require UAE.
@samos3.9
Transparently running OS4 binaries would be possible but os4emu already exists, so if AROS had some kind of MOS-compatibility it could run some OS4 apps without the need of creating a new wrapper/emu. Transparent OS4 emulation could be added almost as easily as MOS compatibility but it probably would attract lots of redtrolls attacks so ATM I would leave it as MOS emulation only.Last edited by Crumb on 25-Jun-2006 at 11:14 AM.

| Can it be run in CSPPC?
What about the 68K/Amiga version (as a substitute to the old 1.x/3.x ROM versions)?
