No surprises there then. I had expected it sooner in fact. For sure the OS4 crowd have a lot more to gain from an emulator than the MOS crowd do - there is painfully little in the way of OS4 software MOS people don't already have. But not so the other way around.

Well well well... I can only say it is very cool :-)

[cecilia]

you're so funny.
 :lol:

most "old" amiga programs that were written well run under OS4. and using petunia, they even run fast!

and DVplayer plays dvd's, so what's the problem? no one needs emulation.

unless you really NEED showgirls, which is a way cool little program. but i'm just as happy to run that on my peg and have something else on whatever uA1 i may get in the future.

So now it doesn't matter which system you get... just get the cheapest :-D

You may want to try running it on your OS 4 emu once it comes out :-)

[bloodline]

Has any one tried Running the OS4emu in the MOSemu in the OS4emu on MOS?

-Edit-

Or even try running the MOSemu in the OS4emu in the MOSemu on OS4?

The same goes for those that have been saying for years that MOS is so superior to OS 4 - do they use OS 4 software in spite of their superiority claims?

What OS4 software do they use, Rogue? I've never found anything released for OS4 that is worth running on MOS, with the simple exception of VICE, and that doesn't work anyway. For sure there is no large collection of OS4 software. I've been through OS4depot a dozen times and found nothing I would want to use that I don't already have. On the other hand OS4 users theoretically could use mldonkey or mplayer or commercial games or a hundred other useful tools built up from two years of being a finished OS with a decent developer base.

OS4emu has been fun from a technical point of view, and it's been moderately entertaining watching you and your brother talk (edited by Admin: trolling) about piracy and threaten legal action about it. But it's been of no current use to the average MorphOS user, and we can't use stuff from OS4 itself because that would be piracy. Why emulate open source apps?

Probably wont work Both emulations depend on features not available on each others.

I should go hide under a rock now... about two years ago I stated on finnish amiga ml that emulating each others would be impossible. Here we go

Well, consider this, both emulators are AFAIK, far from complete. I don't expect Ambient to run on it anytime soon.

@KennyR:

VICE *works*. Some features dont work like 1351 mouse emulation but other than that it seems to work fully. I hope amidog implements overlay support soon

But this is only tip of ice berg. As I see emulation is on OS4EMU 1.1 level, i.e. only not-so-complex GUI software is possible. Nevertheless this is chance for MorphOS users to show they have got better software.

Hooray! Now that software can run on both platforms, we're closer to closing the rift in the community!

Or so I thought. This thread is already a borderline warzone. C'mon, folks, take it easy. These emulation tools will make things a lot easier for developers that compile for both systems.

As for the software base, of course MOS has more software right now - it's been "released" for at least a year and a half, whereas OS4 has only been available in public beta for, what, six months? With such a head start for MOS, it's totally unfair, not to mention completely invalid,  to compare them.

Can't we all just get along?

Either that or everyone will stop releasing software in paranoia that the other side might use it. ;-) Actually, knowing the community, this will probably be what happens.

@itix

Oops, I forgot. I mixed up VICE with something else I think.

Negativity, I love it. Seems to be all the more common nowadays. No need for {bleep}yness :-D
