AmigaForever questions
« on: October 19, 2005, 02:47:05 PM »

I've always been somewhat unimpressed by emulators... mainly because I have to run them on top of windows. I have always dreamed of and often considered writing myself, an emulator which rides on top of a very small OS and takes control of the system making the emulation look and feel as if it really IS th os.

To my delight it looks like cloanto has actually done this with AmigaForever booting on top of a tiny knoppix.

Does the emulator feel like the *only* operating on the system, or does it behave like an emulator running on linux? What I mean by this is, does it take full control or can you switch back to knoppix or view the emulator option menus, etc.

I'd actually prefer it take full control.

But that product is dead for legal reasons correct? Also, I tried amithlon and AmigaOSXL and they were fairly unstable at the time.
