Very interesting

AROS goes where no AmigaOS has gone before
Nice!

What is Emula ??

ps.... Aeros sounds VERY interesting !!!!

But... Whats the catch ? Are there any disadvatages (sp?) ?

Should or could this be done with OS4 ? (OT I know.... maybe something for another thread))

I really like this approach. I never went on something similar for Icaros, just because the most difficult thing with distributions is not creating them, but keeping them constantly updated. So I am afraid keeping two separate systems updated (the AROS and the Linux sides) woul have been overkill to me.

My best wishes for this project! I wonder if using the hosted version of AROS, where 1 AROS process == 1 Linux thread, would also mean making use of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th core of the CPU in a multiprocessor system.

EMULA is another multi-amiga-platform project from Fabio and me.

Fabio is working hard on it and it will make Amiga/Aros systems to retro gamers heaven : )

This video shows a first beta of EMULA and the latest AMC Version

Emula gives you a big library (kind of multiplatform AmigForever) of retro games from nearly all classic systems. Emula can download a emulator and you can download free roms.

A bit like itunes for emulation..
It runs on AmigaOS 3.x (yep classics), OS 4.x, AROS, MOS and more

@Paolo
yep it is hard to work on two things... Broadway will be finished (1.0) after this it stays and i will only update system files and included apps as soon big changes happen to AROS base.
Next release will be as soon EMULA is done. This allows me to go back to the roots (Broadway as slim distro) -> i will kick all included emus because EMULA will do the trick and downloads only emus and (legal) roms on demand. One exception is JanusUAE and DOSBOX : )

So my focus will stay sooner or later on AEROS.
Actually i wan't to make IcAROS + AEROS the new standard config for AresOne-systems. So people get the full doze IcAROS (native full packed AROS) and AEROS(from the AROS point of view it is still Broadway). So people can do all work without Windows : )

That's one of the advtantages of being open. And, after all, a nice side-effect of the fact that most AROS developers use Linux to code.

This sounds great. Can't wait to test this one out.

I have to say, I'm a fan of this approach you've outlined.

I like that on my Mac, it essentially now has access to the whole Linux world - I mean apache/mysql/php - and much much more, heck I compiled freetds on Friday to get access to SQL Server - it is all available, because the Mac is popular enough that people recompiled for the Mac, or even in some cases, it's apple that did it....but that unix underpinning to Mac OS X, means that it isn't so hard to recompile for Mac.

By starting with Linux as the underlying OS, you've given your OS a huge headstart in terms of tools...for those that need it.

And then by not using the LInux window manager, but making that the Amiga environment - well that's what makes it Amiga like - frankly that is why people perceive Mac OS X as being a mac, and not a Unix - is the graphical interface on top.
I think this does make your approach similar to Mac OS X.

Like you said, maybe not really, but ...who cares, it's cool. Yep, ashame its not ready already - I'd be tempted to go ahead and download it, and bring it into work.

Of course, I'd be doing my real work in Linux, but whatever...hehe
