Running classic game on os4 on a classic amiga will always be slow as hell.

Unless I am mistaken, you are emulating the whole chipset as well as the cpu.

Oh ok I was always under the impression that running aga games for instance under os4 for classic had to be run in uae and were hence slow as hell,  But you can just run an aga game in os4 and it will bang the hardware and the just he cpu will be emulated ?

Thats pretty neat/clever

That is pretty cool.  Has anyone ever written a version of whdload for Morphos ?

That would make the classic version of morphos interesting

I could never get MorphOS to boot on my 1200.  I am guessing though that hardware banging stuff didnt work on it ?  Piru ?

Does whdload run on os4 though ?
