what is common sense to us..goes over the heads of developers/business owners.  

I dont know how good of an idea it is though.. AROS is x86 and we dont see a whole bunch of AROS specific games on there.  AROS is about as close as you get to AmigaOS on x86.  It has UAE (I've never tested it..) so you can play your old games.  If OS4 went x86 would games/utility developers come out of the woodworks and we would see a influx of new wares?

I havent checked on AROS but installing it on HD was a pain in the arse so I gave up.  Is it any easier?  I want to run it on a VMWare session.

@neon32:

at the time custom chips were the good thing.  There wasnt anything in the Amiga's price range that could do the equivalent.


@dammy:
I will give it a shot.  I'll re-download..since UAE runs on AROS (I think..havent checked) then it should be a-ok.
