MacUAE on PPC no brainer
« on: May 15, 2003, 12:51:30 PM »
You know, as many of us in the community likely also have a Mac or two running around I was wondering... Is there any particular reason why MacUAE doesn't have a function to allow access to the PPC processor via WarpOS? It just seems to me like that would make sense... Then again, MacUAE doesn't yet have 040 capability either.

Is my thinking off here?

P.S. - Yes, I fully expect a flame for posting this in here... I didn't even think about the emulation section, since I never go there. Blah!

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

Oh no doubt, Macs suck... Mainly because Apple couldn't develop an OS to save their souls... OSX is a step in the right direction, tho I agree it's bloated... BSD actually, not Linux.

Still, I did manage to get my hands on a PM 7600 with a 604e upgrade... It'd be nice to be able to access that chip with MacUAE to get a little more power out of the emulator.
