MorphOS 0.1-4 was an emulator using the ROMs LEGALLY.


MorphOS never was just an emulator. Regardless of the technical details they market their product as an OS and therefore you cannot refer to it as something else.

Again MorphOS 0.1-4 was an OS running an Amiga emulator.

The emulator was integrated and a part of the OS, was it not? How do you run the public beta from the MorphOS team without it? How do I remove it in order to not run it? Please, it's a part of the OS and you cannot refer to it as a seperate application. Also, if you run the emulator ontop of another OS than the original, then it's not running on the original system anymore and then it is infringing on their IP. I'm sorry but there is no way around it regardless of how much you try to twist and turn things around, give it up already.

When I referred to MorphOS earlier, I referred to the
A/Box. MorphOS itself is an OS on it's own right.
A/Box was an emulator and it was the part requiring
the ROM.

There was no A/Box until these later versions which hasn't been released to the public. You can read about that on the MorphOS website, it goes something along the lines "...is from now on called A/Box".

How can you remove it? Easilly. Delete abox.rom
(it was amiga.rom in the emulator days) and
module.rom.


That is simply not true if we're talking v.0.4 and below, it requires it's use in order to function.

Aha! Why wasn't AMax prosecuted then?
It wasn't running MacOS under MacOS!
It was running MacOS under AmigaOS using
the MacOS ROM on a card (+ a floppy interface).

That emulator still not claimed to be an OS on it's own.

I don't have time for this anymore... The emulator was required in order for the MorphOS to function, it was running as an integrated part of the OS and most importantly, it was also marketed as a function of the OS. Face it, it's a dead end, you've painted yourself into a corner and can't get out without admitting your mistake. I'm too tired for this and I'm going to bed now, goodnight.
