It is still SDL, but nova has made AGA comtipatiable SDL, so that framebuffer version can be used with AGA amigas. I still hope that Arthur can make native port of Netsurf.

But there is no way that real amiga could play youtube videos and at least this version woun't be "official" it still frambuffer and SDL. Has you seen any, even single one game or app that uses SDL wich is pleasure to play/use with real 68k amigas?

My biggest problem with 68k amigas, is that there is no way to download stuff from internet with OS3.X compatiable browsers. Currently I have solved it with my OS4 machine and NETFS. It is amaizingly fast, 250kb/s from OS4 to OS3.9, much faster than any other solution I have tested. SAMBA/AEplorer etc,

SDL and 3D game are not exactly best way to compare performance, because you need to do 3D routines native anyway. Are you really using SDL for something else than debug? :D

Descent realistic minium is 040 40mhz, I would say that those 15mhz more over 25mhz makes game playable with 040, or at least earlier versions worked so.
