AFAIK it isn't actually possible as the system would have no way of knowing if a memory access is legitimate or not.  You would have to take the proposed MorphOS approach and run *all* old apps in a sandbox (where they could still interfere with each other) and run new apps in a memory protected environment.

Rumours say MP is coming?

AFAIK, for even being able to boot at 64bit native kernel on a AMD64 requires MMU support.  From what I've been told, AROS64's memory protection is going to be compariable to OS4's MP.  I've been begging for RT support in the kernel for future RT kernel modules, so I have alot of hopes on AROS64, as you probably have guessed.  Loadable kernel modules, hmmmm good!  :cheers: to Doc!

Why not just dump backward compatibility for the 64bit version and actually try to make a modern Amiga-like with modern features?  That is what is really needed.

Source compatibility seems stupid when no-one is ever going to port anything over anyway.

If someone ever completes the EUAE Integration bounty, there would be alot of wisdom in your words.  I can see from the start, there is going to be additional API beyond AOS3.1.  But I'll let be up to the Doc to run with.

Regardless of EUAE, something still needs to be done.  At this point with the move to 64-bit, it seems like the perfect opportunity to start over.

I'm afraid it's even more unlikely that someone writes new applications for an OS which isn't API compatible to AmigaOS.

Yeah! Like death penalty had solved all criminality... oh wait!
