Questions about MorphOS and 68k compatibility
« on: July 27, 2014, 11:17:00 PM »
Can anyone show me how compatible is MorphOS with native 68k Amiga applications?
I'm looking for speed comparisons and overall compatiblility using 68k software, like Lightwave, Vista, Cinema4D, Photogenics etc or any other applications. I'm not really interested in games, I can do that on my real Amigas.
I want to see how fast Mac Mini 1.5GHz with MorphOS can render a picture using one of the mentioned programs.
Did anyone made a Youtube video showing 68k compatibility features?

I'm looking forward to see some of them.

A1000 KS 1.3, 8MB RAM
A1200 KS 3.1, Blizzard IV 50MHz 64MB RAM
A2000 KS 2.1, 68030 25MHz, 6MB RAM
A3000 KS 3.1, 68030 25MHz, 16MB RAM
A4000 KS 3.0, 68040 25MHz, 16MB RAM

The Youtube video posted by @JJ is OK, but does not show what I'm looking for. It does show 68k word processor running on MorphOS, but it's not a very CPU intensive task.

For C4D my Mac mini renders 54 times as fast as my old A1200/40 @25MHz did.
Cool!

How does the 68k software install work? Do I decompress the archive and double click Install? Do I need 3.1 KS ROM or Workbench disks like AROS?
