MorphOS 2.0 Released

For those who'd like to have a look, I've put some screenshots at photobucket.

Only 30 mins? I was expecting a week at least in order to test some software properly.

You might have got that wrong: after 30 minutes, the OS slows down. After rebooting, you have again 30 minutes. Thus in theory, also MorphOS 2.0 is still free, if one really can't afford the price - he has just to organize his work accordingly.

So things like Wordsworth should be OK, but I'll need to run UAE for MorphOS to run stuff that needs the full chipset.

Indeed. Since I don't use WW myself, I don't remember any possible limitations regarding it. With regard to FW97, one is limited to open it on 8 bit screens, though, because otherwise the paper is black instead of white. Other than that, it still runs fine on MorphOS (screenshot).

OK, so I take it there is a UAE for MorphOS? How does it compare to WinUAE/Cloanto's package?

E-UAE ist not as advanced as WinUAE - especially the JIT compiler is missing. Furthermore, it has not been updated since more than a year.

Glad to see that's been fixed - FW97 gave me a full lockup under 1.4.5

No, nothing has been fixed with regard to FW97 - it's running as well or badly under MorphOS as always: i.e. on 8 bit screens only.
