Q
« on: January 07, 2006, 12:08:27 PM »
Q is a virtual machine for MacOSX. It has the ability to simulate a PowerPC machine.

Not wanting to start a flame war here, but I would love to see MorphOS or OS4 ported to run inside this. Not being a programmer, I have no idea what would be involved in this. Probably more work than I could imagine. But it's a nice pipe dream :-)

Heh, yeah good point :-) But unfortunately I can't afford the hardware required for OS4 or MorphOS. Also, I would miss the custom chips if I moved over to AmigaOne/Peg. Heyyyyyy, maybe Dennis' Minimig could be remodelled in to a PCI card so the AmigaOne could use the Minimig's 68k processor, Paula etc, for playing old games!!!

Its been that long since I've read anything about OS4, I forgot what the requirements are :crazy: is'nt it just a PPC thats required :-?

I have been sitting for awhile thinking about a replacement for the PC (Amigaone and Mac) but I do have alot of favourite games and other software, I do like on the PC but if I'm picking this Q up right then it will be able to emulate a PC well windows atleast. So I better head off and read abit more about Q.

No, it will only run on an AmigaOne. MorphOS runs on Pegasos or Classic Amigas with PPC cards.

Yes Q will allow you to emulate an x86 computer and run Windows on it. Probably won't be very good for games, but most apps should run ok.

:pissed: well if thats the case then hyperon leave OS4 alone and start releasing Gorky17 :-P give us classic users something new.

This amigaone gets more confusing everytime i learn something about it.

I think im just gonna stick with my upgraded classic amiga and my PC (which has been upgraded itself one or 2 times and that was'nt that cheap either)

What's Gorky17?

Unless a reasonably priced OS4 solution is available, I also will be sticking with my A1200. It does everything I need it to at the moment.

Cool! Looks like a pretty good game. The screenshots show it running on what would appear to be OS4.
