You can always run EUAE on MorphOS, too, if you must.


Realize the purpose of the amount of dollars assigned to the *integrated* EUAE is not to declare EUAE as existing.  :-)

Right, well, I'll just have to wait for UAE integration. For me, Amiga is pre AmigaOS 3.9, and I love those silly demo's that go hardcore on the hardware. So for me it's a must that Aros is 100% compatible with ALL software out there.


I doubt it will be (near) 100% compatible, initially.

Would be cool to send DOS packets from 68k application to x86 native filesystem via PutMsg() interface. I just hope user is not attempting to run old Amiga demo that takes control over system because when x86 filesystem responds to my DOS packet there is nobody left.

Oops.

How this is going to work, in real?


New instance ?

Because it is starting from UAE?


The point of the integrated (E)UAE is to run 68k AmigaOS apps in some integrated manner, to do this it must convert/translate certain resource requests and direct read/write to structures of these resources, back and forth.
Therefore I doubt it will be 100% campatible, not because it's impossible, but because knowledge of huge amount OS structure internals, and because many apps hit the OS structures directly (even if there are OS functions to do some, but far from all, of this). But like I wrote: initially. (it can offcourse be improved later)
