There is acctualy a semi working PPC version of AROS =) so those die hard PPC fanatics can run it as well if they want to keep it up 2 date with the x86 version.


With major changes going into AROS kernel for x86_64 which will be back ported to x86, it maybe a good thing that PPC (or ARM for that matter) is slow going.  The new kernel should have very significant impact (for the better) on their porting project.  Modular kernel that actually uses the MMU. :crazy:

Some of the nightly builds might not work! as for choosing screenmodes if you dont have nvidia/ati card choose the Vesa one and it (should work) also dont try using usb mice (and keyboards) unless you can turn on USB emulation in BIOS! we dont have USB support yet.


USB Bounty is still accepting donations.

Still can't boot into AROS on my laptop - works fine on my PC though.  Even the VESA screenmodes won't load.

Laptop uses some of the RAM for graphics memory - would this be a problem for AROS?

btw - will be installing AROS onto a partition on my desktop in the near future - VERY nice looking, have not played around much yet.
Is there a 68k emulator to allow running AOS programs?

Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Yes, there is E-UAE for running classic Amiga programs. UAE emulation integration is in the works, there is a bounty for it and ROM replacements.

@Argo

Does that run under AROS?  (ie giving the illusion of running 68k AOS programs under AROS)
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Yes, there is a AROS port of E-UAE. You'll of course need ROMs, OS and ADFs.
