I am running lots of 68k applications and games on AROS, I mix native AROS and 68k libraries, have added original AREXX and installer and so on and this is both running on emulation and native on classic hardware without PPC addon. Try that with AmigaOS or MorphOS :-). I use AROS 68k of course. So for every purpose you can choose the right version. Of course it is not possible to mix f.e. X86 and 68k but the price of it to stick with old hardware is way too much in my view.

We managed to remove a difference in the implementation of CybergraphX just a few days ago and that is now official part. If more would test and report what is missing/should change it would help a lot.

just some news...

AROS 68k now officially support ATA on A1200/4000, I am working on integration of Magellan now and thanks to Terminills will do testing printing with Gutenprint this weekend. So a lot of fun :-).

I am more 68k than X86 but perhaps I can give some tips. Qemu is very slow so I would recommend a virtual machine instead (if you do not want to install it native, do not have the hardware or wants to risk it). Download f.e. VMWare and install it. Download Icaros ISO and burn it on DVD. Then put in the ISO and start VMWare and install it in VMWare. That is the safe way to test it (and much faster than QEmu)

Install a virtual machine, put in DVD and then boot the CD in the virtual machine and install it there
