I would like to test it on Aros 68k. Anything available already?

Wing Commander 2 anyone?

;)

Looks great :D But this is not running on an Amiga 1200 6860, right?

There is a potential it would go faster, right?

This is just a BETA and it's not even using the 68k core yet, release version will be quicker :)

Lots of work do to but we'll get there.

The Amiga amazed me the first time I took it out of the box (looks), plugged it in (silent fan) and switched it on (beautiful and powerful OS). For some of us this feeling towards it has never changed ;)

Agreed Amiga OS has always seemed like home.  I still enjoy what little time I get with the Amiga, the fun is making everything work stable the way you want (not always easy with unsupported software)!

Most of these videos are misleading, since they're running on ultra overclocked 060 accelerators, which from the looks of it, only a fraction of 060 owners have.
On standard 50Mhz 060 you'll probably get a slideshow.

I never realized NovaCoder had an Ultra Overclocked 060 Accelerator.  Darn.  I bet he ultra overclocked his AGA chipset too. :razz:  Next thing you know, you'll tell me he cheated and loaded the level data from a hard drive instead of a floppy drive.   And I bet he Ultra Overclocked his Hard Drive from 3600 RPM to 7200 RPM too. :idea: It seems like you just can't trust ppl to do things exactly the same in 2013 as they did them in the 1980s anymore. :smack:

Um Nova is not a guy to "mislead" anyone. I'm sure his final version will work fine on standard 060@50mhz.  Besides, its quite easy to OC these to 66mhz anyway.

Yep that's right, next up I'll try and port Quake 3 using a standard A1200, now that really would be a challenge ;)

Wolfie should be a pretty easy port to AGA using the MAC source code, I've got it on my HD somewhere just waiting for me to find the time to look at it.
