It might be possible to get NetSurf running with native AGA, you'll still need a powerful machine to run it though.

I see in your signature that you're running an A1200 @ 80Mhz.  Do you browse from that machine?  If so, how does the system behave with that power?


I'll do a video for you when I get it up and running online.

I, too, have seen the video and agree, what was shown is exactly what would be desired for browsing from a classic Amiga.  Is there a bounty set up for porting NetSurf to AGA?  If so, I would gladly contribute.

Also, would an A1200 with an ACA 1232 accelerator perform similar to the Falcon in the video, assuming NetSurf is ported to AGA from SDL?


I'm looking into doing a native AGA/RTG port, just don't hold your breath.
