Lets not forget you can only run OS4 on licenced hardware. Emulators may be the reason Amiga Inc and/or hyperion never allow this.
What are some other emulators we know of? MorphOS! For this reason alone i'd assume they wouldnt have anything to do with it.
I reckon its a great idea. And it seems so obvious. I'd say someone at hyperion or Amiga inc may have though about it before but because of the licencing issues dismissed it very quickly.
Also, i'd say that there has been so much advancement that, some modules wont run without the upgraded ExecSG. Someone mentioned roadshow, im not a kernel hacker or anything, but im resonably sure that stuff like TCP/UDP and protocol stuff is normaly a kernels job to understand. Im assuming that road show has been built into the kernel and hence the user applications wont do much on a non OS4 machine. Actualy, im just guess, so i take all that back
.
But for licenceing issues, i'd be surprised if hyperion would allow it. Good i dea though... maybe theres some checks you can put on a CD to determine what system your running. I think i'd be very good for those people running old systems to have this.
