Amithlon or UAE

[Ral-Clan]

Hi,

I've been pretty happy with my UAE emulated Amiga.  But I have been reading about the old Amithlon software.  I know it's not officially updated anymore and doesn't support modern motherboards.

But a lot of people seemed to like Amithlon.  So my question is, compared to today's state of UAE, is still any reason or advantage to using Amithlon?

Yes Amithlon was great. So great Amiga Inc pulled the license as it did a better job at an Amiga experience than anything they had in the works.

Problem is you need old Athlon hardware to use it. I've seen updates but UAE has gone through so many iterations that it's really rbust.

There's a guide out there on how to take a PC install a streamlined XP installation the boots into the UAE environment. That's teh closest you'll get to Amithlon without getting an old copy.

But just what made Amithlon better than UAE?  And (if one could get a copy) does it still beat UAE?

Is AmigaOS-XL restricted to Althlon processors?
