Any other 68k OSes run in 68k mac emulators ?
« on: August 19, 2011, 04:34:52 PM »
The topic says it all really. Surely there's something other than apple products that works on 68k macs that would also work inside shapeshifter (or fusion/basillisk, etc.). Anyone ever tried ?
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

@JJ

No particular reason, just a bit of fun mostly. There was an article I read a little while ago about a guy who (if memory serves correctly) ran some form of 68k linux on his '040 mac compiled qemu and ran ppc OSX. Took crazy amounts of time to boot let alone install, but I got a kick out of reading about it :) Ive got a pretty nice amithlon box set up at the moment (c2d@3.86gz) and I think it could be fun to see what pointless, but cool stuff I could do inside what's not too far removed from a 68k virtual machine (shapeshifter) :)

Speaking of which, assuming something like mk68 linux to run (offshoot that will run mmu-less (I think that's its name, Im going by memory)), can anyone tell me what sort of things I will and wont have access to from a developers perspective? Will I still have access to most of the usual suspects? (sdl/allegro/cairo/gtk/etc.). I ask this both in general of 68k linux, but am also interested how/when/where lack of an mmu may influence things as well.

Thanks in advance :)

Oh, and just to clarify, Im not just wanting to run some form of linux/bsd, but taking advantage of eithers (potential) development tools inside shapeshifter sounds fun :)

I am interested in checking any other OSes that might run inside Shapeshifter too though.
