PowerPC supported software under OS 3.9

Before completely hijacking another thread, I'd like to ask what software is supported under 3.9 for my most valued recent aquisition; a BPPC

Fitzsteve began with a conversation elsewhere that i'd like to continue here:

For software check out Aminet & OS4 Depot, to name but a few useful OS3.9 things that I use under OS3.9:

Games:

QuakeWOS (WarpOS Port of Quake)
QuakeII
ADoomWOS
Wipeout 2097
Heretic II
Freespace
Heretic/Hexen WOS
ShogoMad
Decent

Workbench Stuff:

WarpDT (load bmp/gif/jpg/etc using the PPC in OS3.9)
AmigaAmp (Play MP3's etc with the PPC)

There are some emulators (Mame/etc) but I only use them on my AmigaOne as they're slow on Classic PPC.

Will post more when I think about it

continuing with my response:

Thanks! but I'm confused... isn't WarpOS the amiga os that runs on macs and PPC? as in an OS in and of itself?

I ask as you state software for WarpOS, was that meant to be WarpUP?

No, that's MorphOS. WarpOS or WarpUP is a PPC driver for AmigaOS 3.x written by Haage & Partner. It replaces PowerUP which is the driver written by Phase5.
