do you mean this link?
 
The different version of ScummVM support different games, there was not point in me adding support for 'The 7th Guest' to the A600 version for example ;)
 
The version the supports the most games is ScummVM RTG 060.
 
BTW, you do known this is a thread about my new port (DosBox 68k AGA) and not my existing ports of ScummVM don't you?

 
* shuffles feet, look at the floor * Sooowwwyy :o:o
 
By the way back to the DOS AGA, if you manage with whatever skill you have to get DOSBOx working on AGA Amiga 1200 with 20 fps or even 15 fps I will donate money to you till the end of my life!!
 
You would have managed to bring HORDE OF NEW games to the Amiga 1200/4000 giving these system new life with a whole new meaning :D :D
 
I mean already the Mac 68k Emulator gave a new COLLECTION of apps and games into the Amiga 1200 that with AmiMSX and the other emulators out there, with your now new ScummVM AGA plus the already NICE LIBRARY of software and game collections originally designed for the Amiga making the Amiga A VERY fun system indeed!!!
 
Hey in the future see if you can get C64AGA out here and since there is a C64 cable from AmigaKit that allows you to hook real 1541 Disk Drive into the Amiga system and read foppy disk you can just master and perfect almost the original C64 computer emulation and then the emulation requires the REAL Disk Drive hooked into the Amiga...OMG you would have turned Amiga INTO A REAL PURE C64 with complete feel as I will be using the real disk drive to load games instead of emulated disk drive!!
 
Soooowwwwwy I went again off top :( I am just over excited at your super skill in programming. I am just saying you could ACTUALLY succeed in getting DosBox to work then you can easily do C64AGA as well. Then all I have to do is put a stick on my Amiga 1200 case: MSX Sticker, Console stickers, C= 64 sticker and DOS sticker...hehehhehe
 
I am getting all giddy.. :)

Root (linux)

\ Windows

\ DOS

\ AMIGAOS3.9

\ AROS

\ATARI

\C64


Linux runs it all. If you like software and trying things, linux lets you run everything... Windows too but its sexier with linux.

This is the first I have heard of this...
Any more info on this? This would be so awesome, running all my dos favs
from my amiga 68k....


It's already been ported: http://aminet.net/package/misc/emu/DOSBox_68k.lha
  Unfortunately it's an old and therefore less compatible version, and also illegal as the source code is missing. So I guess V0.74 will need to be ported from scratch :-(

Your PCTask video impressed me. However I have couple of questions about it to clerify things for me.
 
1) Did you USE any real x86 hardware or is this purely running from Workbench Amiga 68k a software emulation of x86 PC?
 
2) It seems the speed of DOS cursor is smooth at 040 but the game play framerate is bad, would the framerate increase to an enjoyable level if we simply have a 060 CPU instead of a 040 CPU?
 
3) Can I run any 3D game that was designed for DOS or any DOS games using PCTask on AGA and run smoothly with a 20 fps or even 15 fps?
 
4) Is it like DOSBox? Can it run any DOS game or application or heck even install Windows 95/98 on PCTask on a real partition on the Amiga??
 
5) Can I run everything through AGA into my Commodore 1084S monitor with PCTask?
 
6) Can I still register for it and where can I buy it??

1/ only software emulation

2/ Classic machines are full of bootlenecks : for exemple, AGA slowdown a fast 060

3/ 15 or 20 fps ? Hum, you are a dreamer !

4/ Windows 3.1 is working AFIR, but Windows 95/98 not

5/ yes

6/ PCTask is now free

1) COOL!
2) OK but can I at least run any 2D game if not 3D game at a good enjoyable speed with a 060 or this will never happen?
3) What if we upgraded to RTG or video card can then we run PCTask at a 15 or 20 fps? IS there away with AGA it can run at least at a decent speed to enjoy?
4) Thanks
5) SWEET
6) Where can I get the free version? In Aminet it is a demo only.

4/ WRONG! I fought through the pain and installed Win95 in PC-Task and it *worked*! Well it was painfully slow ;). Win 3.1 was OK speedwise.

Hiya,

It's running but not ready for release yet, still loads of work to do.

Nice video of pctask but if the frame rate during gameplay is so bad, its not really relevant....

I would really like to see warcraft,wing commander,xwing and tie fighter on an 060 amiga 1200.

I was surprised by how well it ran actually! Remember this is only a 68040 running (well, walking!) a 3D game under emulation.

Personally I use my beefed-up 50MHz 486SLC/2 A2386SX bridgeboard with 13.5MHz ISA bus. Only problem is no sound card I've found so far can cope with the overclocking of the ISA bus, but it made an appreciable difference in speed of Doom.
Ultima 7 runs nicely though, and Alone in the Dark is also good.
My next test is to replace the 386SX bridgeboard in one of my A1500s with a 33MHz 486SLC and see if the upped bus speed from 25MHz to 33MHz makes much difference. Means swapping the northbridge as well as the CPU, but because the bottleneck on the 386SX platform is the 16-bit memory bus, I think that extra 8MHz may make a difference.
