Enhanced 68k ISA

So you would have to use Amiga version, i.e. use Winuae -- running an emulator on top of another
(Or wait until the PC version is complete, hoping it will happen soon or just happen at all.)

That's very possible but it's work in progress and might change unexpectedly. As long as it's not released in the wild i don't need to care about compatibility issues...
But if you're asking for the source code then perhaps you are able to help ? Currently cpu emulation is the smallest part of the problem ; it's more about graphics, audio, and real time stuff. Windows sucks

Anyhow, we can already have a closer look. But please, by PM. It's private work for now.
Actually, anyone who wants to code on an ISA that is superior to the 68k can PM me so we will see what we can do

Currently, I am interested on fantasy consoles: programs which simulate classic consoles/computers and provides tools to make games for it. The problem I have with those is they use scripting languages to program instead of assembly. Only a few actually tries to be similar to classic machines, like this one http://www.vircon32.com/index.html.

Wanna make games, huh ?

You don't need to extend my VM to use it as a fantasy console, it can be used "as is" for this purpose
The VM is not only a cpu, it is able to handle everything a game needs.
