Noone ever said that it was impossible to write an SMP-OS with an API similar to AmigaOS running recompiled (and patched) SW.


You do realise that this description could easily be applied to MorphOS, especially when running native application software, right?

So, dual G5 support in the works?

MorphOS still runs 68k alongside that PPC code


Does it really, though? Possibly a bit philosophical, but it loads 68K object code, but in the end and whether running interpretively or JIT, it's not 68K opcodes that are actually being physically executed. Eventually, it's a PPC native task doing the work.
