I wish it was a matter of time! Tony Wilen, the current WinUAE developer, has expressed several times he wont add PPC support. Nowadays he only seems interested in making WinUAE bloated by adding a zillion of obscure features normal users wont use. It is a pitty, he is really a very good developer!

@stefcep2

I know but then, why is he so keen on not adding PPC support. he has explained his reasons, but at the end, it is just that he doesnt want to do it!

DREAM MODE ON
Not only OS4, but there are also nice OS 3.x WarpOS apps and games (Wipeout 2097, an a DVD videoplayer i cant remember, and a couple of cool emulators).
Of course the possibility of running OS4 is not a bad idea, so that we can finally get rid of the dongle it requires to work (SAM).
MorphOS could also be supported.
DREAM MODE OFF
;)

Why?
Just for the fun of it!
If not for what else do you use an Amiga emulator?
As you clearly said there are lots of Windows/Linux/Mac tools and games 1000% percent better than Amiga, so if you are into Amiga emulation, it is just for enjoyment, nostalgia or something along the lines

No one can deny the tremendous work Toni Wilen has done on WinUAE. It is actually one of the best emulators on any platform thanks to him. These posts are not about being disgracefull, but simply telling we want some specific features.
The thing is simple: some of us wish we could run WarpOS/PowerUp/OS4 or whatever apps, games and demos. For too many of you, this seems terrible, for others it would simply be a cool feature.
On the other hand, the fun concept in an emulator is something subjective. If you dont find it cool, you should be open minded and think others might believe the contrary.

For example, Amithlon has WarpOS emulation, and that, is one of the features despite its age that still make it a great emulation enviroment. So please dont tell me that it cannot be achieved, it is a matter of will and hard work.

Dont be so viral about it! :)
