That looks interesting.
Correct me if I am very wrong, but it looked to me like the system would recognize an Amiga 68k executable and execute the emulator? Sorry I couldn't understand a lot of the words the guy was speaking, he's got a thick accent :/ But if it works like that, it's like the Cl;assic environment in Mac. That would be AWESOME. |

What you posted is the goal (i believe) and is being worked on by o1i (UAE Integration Blog!) |

I'd say this is a significant development - Here we have evidence of someone actually pushing real hardware as being suitable for an Amiga-like OS. On the subject of classic games on AROS: It will be great when (hopefully) there's real integration of 'UAE' into the OS itself... ...something that's just occoured to me (I've not tried it) is Alpyre wrote some very nice scripts (publised on Aminet) that allow the more-or-less seamless running of WHDLoad games within Amithlon via ARexx & 68k-UAE... ...I can't see a good reason why the same setup wouldn't work for AROS. |

It even uses my Nvidea graphics card! I messed up first install (Did FFS format which doesn't work with the OS boot up) and after reading the guide and the part about using SFS to format got it up and running. Its really promising! I look forward to the next update!! |

Yes, i think that FFS no longer works properly (weird)! so go with SFS!! also sometimes doing the install again and just selecting install "Grub Bootloader" and nothing else can fix things (installer is not at all perfect yet)
Ive installed a few times, but haven't got around to this latest version yet! Looking at the speed difference of this latest version over vmwAros 9.0.2 im keen to seen it running native! Not all Soundblaster Live cards work, you need the ones with Emu10K chipsets (whatever that means). (im using onboard AC97 audio on my box!) |

Umm Can you get it to network from its own HD?
I thought it only worked if it was on a partition? Hope it does though! |

Installed AF2006 on it, lovely install just click the Add amiga icon in Amibridge and chose AF2006 and it was installing and then I was away and running.
I'd have liked the UAE window full size though, its pre sized fixed as far as I read. Can launch Amiga Programme (games for me) straight from the main Icaros window, and it just pops a new window with the emulator and your playing. Closest thing to an Amiga on a PC yet, really exciting, again Can't wait for the next update! This could be massive! |

It's not exactly the same.
Windows does not recognize Amiga executables or icons and will not do any action on double click. What I want to know is, if i browse to an Amiga classic directory, if I can doubleclick, say, on the "DPaint IV" icon, and the system will recognize it as a 68k executable and launch the Janus environment on its own. |

...still, Alpyre's scripts (Aminet) written to allow chipset software to run pretty seamlessly under Amithlon + 68kUAE should also work with AROS + E-UAE. You click 68k app (WHDLoad game), that fires up UAE, it then runs in a window or optionally it's own screen. |
