OS4.1 is really quite nice. One very nice thing about RunInUAE is that it allows me to use the RTG graphics card for running classic OS games (in theory).

....

Anyhow, it doesn't look like this has been done or that people have tried to do it (access the 68k from OS4). Just thought I'd ask is all.

That helps but simply raises more questions. E-UAE under OS4.1 doesn't have a JIT. Petunia is a perfectly working JIT but lacks the environment provided by E-UAE in order to make older games function correctly.

Has anybody done any dev work on OS4 that takes advantage of or directly works with Petunia? Do we know if there are APIs of any type exposed to allow this happen?

I've sent an email to Chris and Álmos about just this. If people want to chat more about it, feel free to do so; otherwise I'll update this thread later when/if I hear more from them.
