Windows API for Amiga OS?

Pyromania · 11 April 2002, 10:23

In a recent interview with Coyote Flux (Amiga developer that made Super Amicon (SNES emulator) and other Amiga apps)

http://www.gfxbase.com/

They stated that they are working on a Windows API emulator for Amiga OS. This sounded similar to WINE for Linux which allows you to run many Windows 95 & 98 applications.

They are good Amiga developers so if this gets released it should be interesting.

It makes you wonder if it will require a machine with a PPC

Probably would need G3/4 if they're going to rely purely on software. Still, I tend to treat this sort of news as vaporware these days until one of us little folk has the product in question in his/her grubby little hands.

That's as may be, but it's still pretty interesting news.
