Title: How can I check WB 1.3/3.1 BINARY compatibility in AROS status
Post by: hbarcellos on February 11, 2009, 04:54:52 PM

How can I check the status of BINARY compatibility of different 68k classic apps inside AROS? I assume that's a matter of tweaking UAE inside AROS, so, when you double click a classic 68k binary file, AROS would somehow start UAE emulation and run the program on a window.

Is there a web-page inside AROS website where I can check the status (if any) of this implementation?

1.
Go to this Page and read the manual (http://vmwaros.blogspot.com/2009/01/vmwaros-live-is-complete-distribution.html)
(The AmiBridge Part)

Download and install vmwAROS Live.

Install your legal AmigaOS Files or buy AmigaForever.

So, it's already there? Can I double click on turbo imploder 3.1 or powerpacker inside AROS and it will run on a Window?

Same with Deluxe Paint?

No 68k port of AROS itself is available ATM. The guy who has applied for the Bounty (http://www.power2people.org/bounty_005.html) is quite quiet.

So the only way to run 68k apps inside AROS is to use UAE. As already said by Heinz: with a tricks (which is available on vmwAROS) it is possible to run 68k apps by double clicking.

It is not as good as the integrated UAE that is being worked on, but it is a start...
