At first it probably won't have JIT, and will probably be very unoptimised

Or it could use the JIT in OS4 ? That way, the UAE would "only" need to emulate the OCS/AGA chipset and memory system of the "classic" hardware..

That would be an excellent technical achievement if it is possible.

Isn't that something Amiga programmers excell  (sp?) at ? :-)  


I've said that a few times now, but everyone thought either:

Ah, we agree :-D


a) It couldn't be done


IIRC the author of Petunia did say it was difficult/imposible to do, but if history is anything to go by, somehow somebody will make it possible ? A few years back it was said it was impossible to emulate an Amiga on a PC, 12 bit or better sound was impossible on the Amiga..

b) It'd somehow make OS4 bloatware

Hmm.. Wasn't there some feature in OS4 that could make AGA emulation a possibilty ?

c) There isn't a point

Yeah right... The why so many people use WinUAE for the chipset emulation ? If people think it is because we have OS4/MOS native progs by then, lots of people would still love to play the old nostalgia games... Why else would there be MAME and such ;-)
