Nothing is impossible! :-D

We already have GPL'd PPC-JIT code in PearPC that currently emulates a PowerMac on x86 hardware.

If Toni, or maybe even Bernie, shoehorned that code into UAE, and made it appear to the emulated Amiga as a CSPPC/BPPC, then interesting times could be ahead. :-D

Just like when people asked "Would it be possible to emulate an Amiga on a PC" eh?

Well, then let's ammend the answer to the question to say,

No, not without a serious, serious overhaul to UAE. UAE only emulates a 68K processor, OS4 uses a PPC processor.

[riccofl]

I see...So, what if you run a recent Mac OS on a PC, is PPC being emulated?

[Plaz]

Absolutely possible, but without legal license to do so, not very likely. And getting one would probably take a long long time.

Hmmm. Good news for Americans. As long as no copyright infringement is taking place, emulation for the purposes of interoperating with software is covered by fair use. Really, you can do whatever you want with software you purchase for private use as long as you're not sharing copies of the software with a few thousand of your closest friends. Hyperion may be limited to porting Amiga OS to specific platforms, but there's nothing to prevent a savvy programmer from modifying PearPC to run Amiga OS.

And if the AmigaOne goes out of production, bypassing the key or whatever other nonsense is in place to keep the OS from booting on unsupported platforms would be covered by a current exemption to the DMCA.

I have no doubt the A1 will be emulated on PC at some point in the future.  Considering the A1's similarities with current PC architecture, its probably easier than emulating a classic Amiga?  

Of course, other than for the challenge, what's the point?

No.
Nei.
Nein.
Nyet.
Nem.

There wouldnt be reason why to emulate something when it would be much cheaper to go out and buy the actual thing. Since older stuff was much easier, then it isnt hard. It would be writing an emulator for Gamecube.. I know there is one out there, but you can pick up one for cheap. :-)

Wouldn´t it be easier to port OS4 to a Mac that already has got PPC  :-?

You think the A1 is cheap?  :-o  :-?

two cavemen sitting in a cave one said to the other......

Hey do you think any one will ever invent the wheel?
Hmmmm no its impmossible.
Ohhh ok
Do you think any one will ever invent the Amiga?
Hmmm no its impossible.
Ohhhh ok
Do you think any one will invent marmite?
They had bloody better not.

100 years ago.......

Do you think man will ever land on the moon?

errmm actualy no its impossible.

ohhhh ok then, lets not bother then shall we.........

Today.........

If every one said its impossible to do this or that then nothing will ever get done.

(but I do take your point)

I never thought it would be possible for my teenage daughter to clean her room up, but something made it possible.

So the impossible can be made possible.

Is this possible?

>"You think the A1 is cheap?"

It is cheaper and muhc more powerfull than the Amiga classic in your signature.


@thread
No. And remember that Pearc Pc emulates a cpu several times slower than the original.
