For all of you who want to run Amiga Apps Natively on AROS. Put 50 Bucks on the integration of UAE into AROS bounty. It's basicly the same as just JIT-Emulation. Well maybe a little slower. But with it you could even run hardwarebanging apps "natively".
I think I should point out that a method of running 68k apps on the x86 version of AROS has been decided.
Please listen as I'm a bit tired to retyping this :-):
1. We will have the AROS Port of UAE running as a task in AROS (with JIT etc...)
2. We will run a 68k version of AROS on UAE.
3. The 68k version of AROS will be special in as much as it will pass all system function calls to the Native (in this case x86) version of AROS.
This will mean that you will not see UAE as the 68k programs will be using the same interface as the x86 Apps, that is to say they will co-exist on the Workbench screen, even be able to share data, and access the same drives.
This will also have the benefit of allowing hardware banging apps to run on thier own Intuition screen (they will multitask with the x86 apps :-D ).
The one draw back is that 68k libraries cannot be used with x86 programs, and vice versa.
The thing we need to make this happen is for someone to work on the Amiga (UAE) port of AROS.
Yes, put money into the emulation bounty, as "wes" has already expressed an interest in doing this after the TCP/IP bounty.
