I'm doing literally nothing with it. I might eventaully get the keyfile to work, then install a load of 3.1-era programs. Or I might just use the CF card in my much more useful pentium-1 laptop.

There's really not much use for a computer that will run out of memory looking at a single web page.

OK, looks like I made a lame purchase.

It might make a good retro game only system. Actual amiga game emulation is asking a bit much, but it should be enough for snes, megadrive/genesis, and all the gameboys, and the maybe three PPC rtg games in existance. In fact I'm eventually going to use it to power a half-hight arcade cabinet (bottom half isn't gonna happen, I'll put the top half on my desk so I can sit down).

Can an efika actually run A500 games as fast as a real one?

Back in the days of MorphOS 1.1 I accidently managed to boot my Peg1 into my A4000's 3.9 install when I had the 4000's HD installed

So 3.9 doesn't talk to the chipset at all then?

I think I understand now, 68k emu is started extremely early, and the morphos kernel probably handles drivers... Actually I think that's a great idea for a youtube video.

But if the 68K emu is so early, why didn't they do the chipset too?:confused:

They weren't trying to recreate UAE.

No but it looks like they accidentally made amilithon, might as well finish the job. That would actually make morse sense as they could run mos native apps with virtual memory and memory protection, outside the emulation, and feed them back into the windowing engine. I guess it was a matter of manpower, though.
