Look what DosBOX can do!!

I agree (apart from the sarcasm).

A Windows PC running AROS that's running Windows. My question is how many PC's does it take to change a lightbulb?  :roflmao:

On a more serious note I think it is sad the only thing AROS (whom many consider the future of the Amiga) is good for is running a Windows emulator. What else can AROS do? Show me something interesting.

That's just dumb (not surprising considering it was you who said it). An x86 machine *isnt* a windows mchine. Yes it runs windows, but its not a "windows machine". Also who says this is all AROS is good for? Youre the single most stupid person Ive ever seen post on amiga sites, and apparently ignorant and the sort of person who will comment on things they clearly havent even tried. Youre not exactly a winner are you, and proud of it for some reason.

Virtualisation is pretty huge these days and this is the best, most usable x86 emulation on any amigoid system by a long margin. This is an amiga site, hence the reason why people may find this interesting.
Seriously, what do people want of the amiga? To piss developers off with thier lack of gratitude, and/or a desire to mock anyone who uses thier efforts and/or amiga in general? This is how it appears.

Some peole dont have windows boxes, or run dedicated machines per os, in which case its quite handy to have the ability to run some software they like without switching machines.

I cant say Ive ever seen any linux forums complain/mock the use of running Wndows or Windows software on Linux. Mac users tout the fact you can run Windows on that hardware, yet amiga fans instead mock, condescend and so on when someone makes an effort to try to bring this sort of functionality to thier platforms.

Thank you for enjoying my hard work though XDelusion.

MOS is no more functional than AROS either for the record and there's just a much stuff that is better on AROS than MOS. Yes AROS is in a lot of ways more humble, but end results are often much better on AROS. The both have pros and cons.

Video is much better on AROS (lets see mos try to run even one good quality 1080p video, let alone 2). Video/audio encoding is orders of magnitudes times slower, custom chipset 68k emulation is about 10x slower (or more) on my 1.5ghz mac mini vs. my 4 year old aros box, compiling is faster on aros, running multiple heavy software on aros is a much better experience, and so on and so forth. Yes MOS is more mature, but aros has its own advantages especially when it comes to hardware intensive stuff, where MOS is about as far behnd aros as classic are to mos hardware. Lets see MOS run cube2 with pixel shaders. Oh, wait, no it cant. How about 1920x1080 in 32 bit color? Oh Wow, slidewhow.

Im perfectly happy to admit there's just as many advantages in MOS's favor, but this whole delusion (and thats what it is) of granduer thing from some MOS people is just as annoying as any other nonsense that goes on in the amiga world.

Now this isnt to say I dont like MOS, I actually do and wouldnt have a MOS machine if I didnt, but Im so ****ing sick of all this bull**** I couldnt help but to comment.
Have you even used MOS Kesa to be able to comment?

So you don't think x86 is a windows box? Like **** it's not. When was the last time you walked into a computer store that sold x86 computers that didn't have windows installed or at least an option to upgrade/install to?

Never once in over 20 years of using x86 hardware have I bought x86 hardware with Windows installed. Yes its an option, but so is MacOSX, Linux, BeOS, Zeta, *BSD, QNX, Syllable, Haiku, and about a million others.

Yes, I may have been a bit over the top in calling you stupid, but I just call it as I see it.
Now as for:

Other than that i stand by what i said. If AROS is going to be taken seriously it needs to show that it can do more than run windows.

well, that just reinforces my belief about you being, lets say "intellectually challenged". Where was it suggested this is all it can do? The thread was simply about the fact that it *can* be done. Threads about a particular something someone has been playing with typically dont cover ever thing an OS can do.

Hmm,... someone starts a thread about what theyre using Dosbox for, and you suggest people have no interest in it. You dont see the irony here? There's also ports to OS3, os4, wos, mos besides the AROS port, so again, it suggest people are interested in it.

Youve also suggested that I dont know the difference between Windows and Amigas. Now apart from "huh?" I have to respond here by saying about 3 sentences later you
say, "Do you really think people want to use their amigas to run windows". Maybe try rereading what you write?

Also as for, "Has it occurred to you that you are wasting your time with dosbox for Amiga and maybe you should actually do something worthwhile with your time?"..... hmm,.... this thread is started by someone else, not me, so obviously some people are interested. Also, remind me, how are you contributing again exacty?

I could pull your posts apart until the cows come home, but unfortunately I doubt youre bright enough to even get why most of what you type demonstrates your,... err,.... challenges.
