And perhaps there is AROS that runs on PPC, X86, and it has being ported to support 64bit X86...


Currently, AROS runs on x86 (native, hosted and emulated), PPC Hosted (work is being done on native PPC which will eventually include EFIKA).  X86_64 is in developement.  AFA for 68K Amigas.

Apps are being added and updated for AROS.  Once EUAE is integrated, the apps issue should be greatly reduced.

Here are a few of must-haves to really make this a good Amiga Evolution.


Been many a moon since AROS went native.  What I'm really waiting for is AROS-64 (x86_64) port to be finished.

2) Native support for the Mac G4 platform as I suggested for MorphOS


A dev is working on that, I'm sure he would welcome more folks to achieve this objective.

3) Full EUAE integration


Waiting on a Dev to free some time to begin working on it.   He said he would throw in TCP/IP bridge software as well.

4) This is a big one but I think it'd doable. Create an AROS (Amiga) preferences applet to alter the way the EAUE subsystem operates. In other words, have settings CPU, fast mem, etc.


Yup, that too.  He's going to be busy, so he's waiting to have enough time to do it.  Hence the waiting on his official "I'm ready, let's do it." confirmation email to TeamAROS.

It's not easy, see this thread.  IMO, it needs a full rewrite.
