PC-Task is now free!

I have to admit, I played with PC-Task and PCx demo versions, but to be honest, never actually used them for anything as they were just far too slow on my machine.

It's a pity a PPC version wasn't made. I imagine being able to prod the MMU into marking a wedge of RAM as little endian - or at least using the load/store byteswapped instructions, bigger caches and ample register space would have allowed for a quite usable PC emulation back in the day.

It works just fine. I have Win 3.1 installed under PC-Task and the speed is acceptable.

Try running UAE on PC-Task within UAE on a real PC... :lol:

"Porting" is about as easy as rewriting from scratch. In order to get halfway decent performance, emulators either have to run on hardware which is orders of magnitude faster than the emulated device or the emulator has to be written in assembly language. In order to rewrite the x86 emulator for PowerPC, you might as well start from scratch.

And if you were to do that, you might start by examining something like this: QEMU
