Any A500 apps that trick other apps into seeing a 68020?

[Starglider 2]

I'm running an A500+ with 68000 but there's just one program I really need to get running, but it requires a 68020. Are there any utilities that will trick other programs to think they "see" a 68020 environment, and therefore run (however slowly)?

Only an emulator. You would be better off posting the app and seeing if anyone can patch it to run on 68000

Thanks but unfortunately this didn't work. The program just kept crashing.

Edit: The program I'm trying to get working is YAM 2.9, or any email client that allows me to specify the SMTP Port and set Authentication to "OFF". End goal, send email from A500+ (see http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=81616&page=3)

Another option that works is disassebling the executable with ADis and reassemble it back with Phxass. Small programs are most of the time straightforward, but big programs require lots of rework.

Yikes, I wouldn't know where to start. I edited my post above with my ultimate need however.

Some programs wich requires 68020, works nicely with 68010 wich is drop in Place replacent for 68000 cpu

Not true. The 68010 is a 68000 with a very small cache (and a few bits that are not relevant to AmigaOS). I think you can move the VBR to fast ram which is nice though.

Did the 68000 version that someone built of YAM for you not work?

[Starglider 2]

Sadly not. Feel free to peruse the thread 5 posts up. It just crashes when run.

I'd love either:
- A working 68000 version of YAM 2.x
- Or a hack of YAM 1.3 (already 68000 compatible) that adds the correct port 25 and sets authentication to OFF

Please check the thread 👍

Cheers!

For what it's worth I tried to compile a 68000 version of YAM for you but it failed. Something to do with my includes being wrong. I'll give it another go tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes.

Thank you!

The good news is that I managed to compile a 68000 version of YAM easy enough. Next YAM requires codesets.library which I also managed to compile a 68000 version.

The next problem is YAM uses some MUI controls that are 68020 only. TheBar.mcc is where I am stuck at. I suspect there are others...

I've not given up yet!

I'm excited at your progress!

Any luck there good sir?

[nogginthenog]

Unfortunately not. YAM's dependencies (e.g. thebar.mcc) seems to use a bunch of non-standard functions that are not available in my compiler (GCC).

Maybe the authors/maintainers can help? There was a build of this last year.

https://github.com/amiga-mui/thebar/releases

The authors were active 13 days ago

The source code README says :

TheBar.mcc is compiled with GCC. All required third party header files
should already be included in the SVN [GIT] repository. However, please note that
you might need some more third party tools/utilities not included/listed
here.

make OS=os3 CPU = -m68000

Thanks.

@noggintgenog do you think that will help? We could be the first to get full email send and receive working on the A500 with a modern SMTP server.

Cheers!
