And what happens if you need to press 2 and disable the accelerator for some old game? I wouldn't take the risk of having over 4GB partition in this case.


Well, on OS4 (and MOS) you don't even have the option of running the old game ;) (and no, uae doesn't count)

@Britelite
i'll have to disagree there, thanks to RunInUae a new app, we get seamless OCS/AGA integration in AOS4, this include disks, HD installations and WHDLoads.


I'm very aware of this, but as I said, emulation doesn't count as nothing beats the real thing ;)

If we lived near I would show you my settings as described in the link i posted, I've done my fare share of side by side comparisons demonstrations (Sam+my trusty A2000 underneath) you would be surprised...(Chuck Rock, R-Type, Xenon 2 and more no difference whatsoever running side by side and played with the same joystick, a competition pro standard + USB version).


I've used UAE quite some bit (I use it for development), so I'm aware that's it's pretty ok. But still, nothing beats the real thing. And emulation (UAE and launchers) in itself is nothing AOS4-specific, so all the benefits are also available on other platforms (and especially on Windows with it's superior WinUAE).
