PPC-Emulator - Any use?

[Hardboy]

I could send them to you. What OS do you use?

Hoax PowerPC emulator

Hello
I hope this project is NOT ANOTHER HOAX.
(other HOAX: Ardi PowerPC emulator)

Perhaps this can be used to emulate "PowerPC hardware" for running "Linux for PowerPC" on top of X86 machine. This will enable Linux software developers to port their applications to PowerPC + Articia platforms, without buying the hardware.

Perhaps you can build emulator for VESA  /SNAP based VGA cards (or use VGA card on X86).  Another difficult problem is emulating Articia + VIA chipset.

Another idea is a joint project with Total Impact or other PowerPC G3 Co-processor vendors to enable PC running AmigaOS 4. Perhaps you can emulate modern PowerPC G3 or G4 on top of old PowerPC 601 (old Amiga accelerator cards).

I need something that will allow me to write and run PowerPC code on my x86 IBM ThinkPad Laptop.

I guess not. I don´t see clearly what "thread" based means

you're kidding right?

@Hardboy

Maybe you should have a chat with Bernie with regard to merging your two products.  That would be a great piece of software, and it would also really piss Harald Frank off! ;-)

Are you reading this Bernie? Would you be intersted?

Forgive my ignorance :hammer: but if it's possible to do a partial VM... passing through everything except CPU calls, that might could work.  But again, I know not enough about what I'm saying to know how you'd do that.

You do realize you just dragged up a thread from 2003, right?
