I certainly wouldn't mind a MorphOS port to x86. That would be really cool!


And yet in doing so, you'd have to sacrifice one of the much vaunted features of MorphOS, it's compatibility with 68K, WarpOS, PUP, MOS PPC et al.

Unless you go for some sort of rosetta-like PPC JIT for x86, anyway.

We don't like stealing GPL code.


Writing a PPC emulation from scratch would be a fairly large undertaking. Without using any of the GPL code, you could presumably examine how existing GPL examples have been implemented.
