Amithlon SCREAMS. It's fast as hell on my 1.3 and even faster on my 2.2 Barton. If you want to use it for applications that don't bang the hardware and games that do not as well, you're set.
Yep, and that was the reason for "AmigaOS XL" as a concept; with a (presumably optimized?) UAE under QNX6, you could run the hardware-banging stuff. I'd also heard an IPC mechanism (or at least, potential-standard) was in place to allow native QNX stuff to talk to things emulated and vice-versa.
That was, theoretically, the rationale for their brief packaging together; Amithlon got tagged as "the fastest," and XL could claim "most compatible" for being based on the straight emulation you get from regular UAE or whatever.
I was happy with my purchase, but *PISSED* about how they did Bernie. Sadly, Amithlon died WAY before it's time.
Yep, as did the chance for the XL concept to go anywhere, by association with the mess. The
idea wasn't bad, in terms of basically being what Gatemiga had promised way back when.

AROS (on x86) only runs programs targeting x86 AROS for now, but if what you want to run has an AROS build...
