Toni Wilen adding PPC emulation in WinUAE?

[F0LLETT]

No sorry, like you can understand paid more than 100€ just for use anything on a emulator... its more "amigish" to copy it, better with x-copy

Again, please stay on topic. It seems there are a few, who insist on stiring up trouble for no reason at all.

Please try and stay on topic.

Kickstart has a point. It is quite expensive to pay 104 EUR only to try OS4. Amiga Forever is sold at 40 EUR. It could be good idea to create free downloadable version and maybe let it timeout after few hours to motivate potential customers.

I like the way Blizzard store works.

I don’t need the CD nor the manual as physical object, it’s a lot easier to log in to blizzard to download Starcraft the it is to find the CD some where in my apartment.

Asking the wrong people, talk to Hyperion if your not happy about the price.
Maybe there should be a downloadable version, but at the moment there isn't.

Besides its not that much in the grand scheme of things.
Bet you buy lots of XBOX and PS or even steam games. So for the cost of two games, your almost there.

The thread title is "PPC Emulation in WinUAE" not "why does OS4.1 classic cost x amount".

I did not ask anything. I just agreed with Kickstart that 104 EUR is quite expensive to try OS4 in emulation.

I dont. But you missed the point. Do you buy lots of games to try those in emulation and then throw away if you dont like it? Buy or not, that is the question. It is easier to not buy anything (and I do that often).

Of course, Amiga users are often special and order products they dont even install to their machine.

The thread title is "PPC Emulation in WinUAE" not "why does OS4.1 classic cost x amount".

I did not ask why product X costs Y amount. Nobody is interested to ask that question.

Besides, it is clear that PPC emulation in WinUAE is only interest to OS4 users, mostly. This thread is 90% about OS4 on WinUAE.

I decided whether I like OS4.1 or not by checking out some videos of it in action.
$200 is an okay price. The downside is you might have to pay for extra drivers etc.

I'd like to run my old PowerUP programs without having to dig out my old BlizzPPC

Unfortunately PowerUP and WarpUP kernels have even less interesting exclusive titles to run than NG Amigas. Most if not all games support 68k only systems and in WinUAE the speed is not your ambition to run PPC native tools. So you are mostly limited to PPC demos. Which is not bad itself because they should run better on WinUAE (no context switches).

I'd just like to be able to run Shogo since I can't do it with audio under MorphOS

 It's mostly applications though.

What Linux OS would someone recommend to try on this emulator?
PPC wise, that is.

[amoskodare]

I ordered a copy of OS4.1 for Classic last night, woop woop :drink:

I'm gonna install it on a fairly snappy x64 laptop I have over here, hopefully the emulation is speedy enough...  :hat:

You can get AmigaOS 4.1 for Classic Amigas from AmigaKit:

Really any, to be honest. Though I'd recommend something debian based, in particular I'd recommend CrunchBang

[trekiej]

Thanks.
edit:
Sorry, I would buy os4.1 if I had the money.

[Duce]

Buying OS4 for Classics just to tinker with it in UAE is the biggest moneysink I've ever seen, lol.

And I say that as someone who purchased it for my old PPC A1200, and again for my SAM440.

[NovaCoder]

This development raises an interesting question.   Why buy custom hardware to run OS4 when you can use an off the shelf PC.

How do they compare on features, stability and performance?

I'm not really that interested in running OS4 myself but this is an interesting development.
