Guessing it falls over if you trying doing anything with sound or graphics though  ?
Actually no, as the 68k emulation integration in AROS includes a full UAE installation :)

Sorry It hought the poster said he was running Amiblitz in the intergrated 68K emulation.  Didn't realise was running it in UAE.
 
Thats why I thought custom chip stuff would not work
It's a bit complex, but the way the integrated 68k emulaion work in AROS is to run the 68k App in a full UAE virtual machine... Where the UAE I/O is directed to AROS so that the OS friendly 68k apps appear to be running AROS native... Harware hitting apps open a window... :)

I hope that helps

Thats a prett cool way of doing it.  And what I hopped for the UAE AROS intergration.
 
Is the AOS4.1 or MorphOS way of doing it the same ?
No, they use a CPU emulator... That gives the 68k app full access to the operating system. Their approach is faster but means that a rogue app can take down the system and you can't have any hardware hitting apps :)

-edit- The AROS approach allows only the 68k app's I/O operations to be shared with the native system.
