PPC emulation in WinUAE - could this help?

[Hell Labs]

Battery powered clock emulation anyone? I don't think anyone could ever conceivably need that, but it's there anyway. PPC emu? nah we can't add that in case people actually use it.

My mind boggles... why do you want to run Wipeout 2097 in an emulator when you can simply run the windows version of that game?! I cant think of any game for Amiga/PPC that wasnt a port anyways. And running emulators inside an emulator instead of directly ... what a waste!



You still need the dongle to run OS4.1, only OS4.0 runs on PowerUp, and  IIRC you cannot even run OS4.0 on SAM in the first place.



Yeah, old MorphOS 1.4 was so great, we much rather want that than running current MorphOS on Qemu - definetly! :rolleyes:

The amigaOS port of wipeout had the best graphics. And it makes more sense to emulate morphos 1.4 because of the extra speed, and COST. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't shell out for a keyfile unless I was using it CONSTANTLY. osx is what, £25? Besides which, why emulate amigaos at all? it's not like you need to do it. what a waste.

WHY? because we can.

I think you'll find the RTC is already emulated in UAE for a very, very long time

Besides, it is useful. I can't imagine using a machine these days that can't remember the date and time.

but the battery backed clock option is pointless, WinUAE sets the amiga time from the PC side anyway. Why bother having a menu option to turn it on and off?

If somebody want run MOS, the best way is use sheepshaver, emulate a Mac mini and install MOS.
then maybe MOS can use by more users on cheap Hardware and i can test myself how fast OWB on MOS work ;-)

But whats the problem to run MOS on sheepshaver currently.I dont know anything about MAC.

If that were possible people would do it. Sheepshaver emulates old world rom (older than the first iMac) macs with g3 processors and no graphics hardware at all (made possible by the fact mac os was designed originally just to use spare cpu cycles for graphics processing). The mac mini, and in fact everything apple made after 1998 is pretty much just a PC with open firmware to replace bios and a PPC wedged in. the sheepshaver style macs are very different.
