Title: New Version of WinAros. Now uses Microsoft Virtual PC
Post by: Heinz on August 04, 2006, 03:53:03 AM
WinAros offers a preinstalled HD Image with Aros.
This Version uses the free downloadable Version of Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 instead of QEMU.
Virtual PC offers more options and easier configuration.
You have to download Virtual PC by yourself.

The new WinAros Version is based on the Aros Nightly Build of last night:

A actualised QEMU Version of WinAros is on the way.

Hmmm ... Is Virtual PC 2004 better than VMware5 ?

Well, similar to virtual pc - In fact, vmware was created first (correct me if i'm wrong).

So you may ask : what is virtual pc ?

@ Laser

I hope to try it later this weekend.

I don't know about AROS behaviour running on vpc. In fact, i don't have vpc :)

I'm going to try the vpc trial and see what i can do.

bye

well...now I know why this aros version is slow under virtual pc  and Nvidia mode not works there

cause Aros is using vesa modes and the S3 trio driver built in on virtual pc is really slow

if you use virtual pc your video card will be a slow s3 trio card no matter if you have a fast geforce or ATI radeon video card on the host OS

I will try that wmware5 later ...maybe is faster or have a better video card support

anyways Aros is a bored OS

Seems fairly fast to me. Not as fast a native, but not bad for an emulated environment.
