Toni Wilen adding PPC emulation in WinUAE?

[magnetic]

Wow really awesome I hope it works out. That would be really cool

[magnetic]

Emulation would not make me buy OS4. Cheaper hardware would...

Well as we can see from the track record of the people with the brand name this is never going to happen. They blew their chance with Moana. If they had gone the route of the morphos team  there would be alot more os4 users. Possibly

[magnetic]

Well... exactly. OS4 is overpriced for what you get. I don't see why it should cost that much..

It cost that much because its an incredibly small niche market. I thought that would be obvious...

[magnetic]

I can imagine many potential users are not willing to get PPC even when they got it for free.

I can tell you i'm typing this now on a dual core win 7 laptop but would rather have a 1.67 mhz powerbook to dual boot morphos and osx. Problem is there is no longer good support for PPC for alot of net technologies nowadays. I really like the design and feel of the aluminum powerbooks. I sure miss my old one with illuminated keys!

[magnetic]

It could be, it could also destroy the business model as without overpriced hardware there is no money for future OS4 development.
 
Once OS4 development has finished it will make a lot of sense though.

lulz! Over priced hardware is the main reason many people left the "scene" years ago! the decision not to go ppc mac for os4 was suicide imho

[magnetic]

Wow just wow. If this really happens wow (again)

[magnetic]

Its out

WinUAE 2.8.2 beta 9 with PPC

Cool! I'm running a recent version of amiga forever can I just install it over that?

[magnetic]

Except they didn't, despite both spending tons of money engineering elaborate copy protection systems and expert lawyers.

Expert lawyers? LMAO and who was that exactly?

[magnetic]

I have downloaded the latest beta but how do I set it up with PPC support? Or am I just being a numpty?

You're being a numpty? wtf is a a numpty? lulz
