AROS has never been, nor will it ever be, my new AMIGA OS. I don't like AROS, and certainly not any of the developers working on it (especially Matt Parsons)

WooHoo! :lol:

Remember me from ann.lu then ;-)

It'll probably happen, unless the good lady wants to take the machine.

I suppose there's nothing stopping me running AROS in a VM on the new PC, right? Four cores, I'm sure one of them can be spared for the job.

Go on!!! Give it half an hour, Nothing to lose...  :-P

IMO the only way for Amiga to once again become a mainstream OS is to port OS4.x to x86 and create classic card with a 68xxx based processor that could run all classic software.

How would that make it a mainstream OS?

Also, why would you need a card for backwards compatibility? It isn't as if modern x86/x64 hardware isn't more than capable of software emulating everything in a classic Amiga flawlessly.

Not to mention, the horrific sync problems of using a real board... best just do all the emulation in software. :-)

@Matt

So, what's the status of "transparent" 680x0 emulation in AROS these days then?

Exciting:
