Currently, AROS is the way to go for your DOSbox needs. Fishy Fish ported over DOSbox a while ago and it works wonders on fast hardware!

Speaking of DOS, how hard would it be to get a Sierra AGI interpreter running on 68k

I'd love to be able to fire up some fan made works I.E. Space Quest 0 and The lost Chapter.

Will it detect AGI games not designed for it?

Also I kind of figured a direct AGI interpreter could run on systems with less resources, or am I thinking wrong?

Yep I had 98 running on my AROS box.

Fish was planning on adding the OpenGL emulation from the DOSbox port, but I don't think he ever got around to it.

I never realized PC Task had to much potential...

Speaking of which, would it not be neat if the MKII could pass a VGA output through it and allow for Amiga 68ks apps that would allow the VGA display to appear on it's own Screen in Amiga OS 3.x?

 I.E. Have an internal Rasberry Pii with it's display and input controlled from within Amiga OS...

Oh to dream.

What speed are you emulating at? I.E. in real Amiga terms.

* wipes droll * I can hardly wait. I am wondering NovaCoder....I know I am dreaming....oh God I know I am dreaming. But is it possible..just curious out of the blues curious can I install Windows 98 Me on this? Because if it can do Windows 98 Me on a 20 fps or even 16 fps I can finally have a single MMORPG game on my A1200..but..but if it cannot do that..and just be able to run DOS games on it..I am ok with that. I am happy with that. I have no objection with that :D :D :D :sealed:


There is a source fork out there that allows for 98 to run and for Glide emulation, but I'm very much sure that is a bit much for a meager 680x0 to handle no matter if it's running at 80Mhz or not.

AROS could in theory do it though. I've ran 98 at a nice speed in AROS, but it was standard DOSbox and did not include all the bonus and much needed features of the forked edition.

I'm only hoping to reach 386sx speed on my A1200, in other words fast enough to be able play great games like Wing Commander 2, X-Wing, Ultima Underworld etc.  

Obviously if it ever got up to 486 speeds on real hardware then that would be awesome but it's way too early to tell at this stage.


Ultima Underworld would be and accomplishment and well worth the effort. Now that I am drooling for! :)

For those wanting to run Ultima Underworld on their classic amiga perhaps tsshp (open source project for running ultima underworld and system shock) would give better performance than running it emulated. Having said that though Im not sure how "complete" it is.

Despite this I am looking forward to DosBox AGA still and wish Novacoder all the best with it. After having worked on DosBox a little here and there for the last 5 years though I think I have a pretty good idea of what of expect from it, hence my expectation posted in my last post (thought I should back peddle a little as I didnt mean to, nor want to sound negative).


Fishy! Long time no see man! :)

@XDelusion

Howdy :)
Yeah, I had a bit of a break from all things amiga (real life gets in the way sometimes), and stopped using amiga.org for a while once I came back 'cos it got a bit too "vs." for my tastes. Seems to have mellowed a little now though thankfully (touch wood) so I'll probably be around a bit more from now on.
Cant wait until I finish my (very behind schedule) 68k installer for x86 aros, 'cos I'm itching to do some more stuff for aros and 68k amiga.
Novacoder has inspired me :)


I know the feeling, what ever happened to a little healthy trolling just for fun's sake? Everyone gets so hateful and serious when they troll anymore, gives trolls a bad rap, and bridges too for that matter! :)

Glad to see you back around, I've been wondering if you had any new top secret projects going on, and have still been using your old ones (DosBOX on AROS to be exact).

 Nova does have a way of inspiring doesn't he? :)
