Which AROS can be since it will use UAE as it's default legacy support. But MOS and AOS4 running on non "Amiga Classic' will also require UAE to achieve the same, though UAE won't be integrated and WILL require AmigaOS (or a 68k version of AROS ).


Would be cool to send DOS packets from 68k application to x86 native filesystem via PutMsg() interface. I just hope user is not attempting to run old Amiga demo that takes control over system because when x86 filesystem responds to my DOS packet there is nobody left.

Oops.

How this is going to work, in real?

I'm not sure I understand the example...


I tend to complicate my thoughts. Lets simplify ideas and check step one:

Will x86 native applications and 68k native applications share the same address space?

No. They will be separate.

-Edit- Ok, I understand where you are going with this :-)


Good :-)

Now, when you are going to run hardware banging demos, where you need UAE integration? With little scripting you could run Amiga demos from Wanderer now. Isnt it more reasonable than wait for EUAE integration? :-)

Especially since they might need special options like no fast ram, 68000 CPU, Kickstart 1.3 and so on.

When it comes to OS friendly applications (OS friendly application can still bang HW) can you truly integrate 68k applications to the hosting operating system (little endian AROS on x86) ? To me integration means that I can run IBrowse 2.4 in AROS like it was x86 native application.
