I know there is AmigaSYS AGA (which is great by the way)...do you plan to support AGA version of AmiKit?

It's an emulator package (among other things) - it does AGA just fine.

AmiKit is a super piece of kit and gets nowhere near as much appreciation as it should, IMO - cheers for the update!

Can the WB-patches be downloaded separately if you're not using Amikit but a custom WB-installation?

Yup I too think it doesn't get enough love. I have it installed on my desktop windows pc and on my laptop. I am also going to see how well it runs on the pi. But I am having issues compiling uae on it.

AmiKit is an high-end distribution. However AGA version of some kind is being considered.

Yes, of course: http://www.amikit.amiga.sk/exclusive-content.htm

It seems the TotalChaos works with AmiKit 1.6.4, uff. The world is saved :)

Why it would support ppc emu? The news text says it's a distribution of classic software - which means 68k.
Btw, I did some test with old AthlonXP2500+ CPU a long time ago. The emulated Amiga system with such an ancient CPU was 18x faster than real system with 060/60Mhz CPU.

Yeah, I don't know why anyone would want to emulate a ppc kludge.

I love this.  The first time I have tried it and it is beautiful.

Thanks!!

PPC support would be amazing but I know that will not be forthcoming.

As to why people would want PPC, those of us that would love to try OS4 but do not have the money or space for another computer would be thrilled with emulation.

But I think you knew that ;)

well it loads up fine but I seem to be stuck on the main Setup I screen as I can move the mouse, music is ok but can't do anything with the mouse or keyboard to get off the main screen?

I've got the main WB screen running at 1024x600-16 bit, other games open up in window mode & play really nice though I do notice some graphic corruption at the top of window bars?

I'm running a Samsung N120, think it's 1.6 Ghz Atom.

Can u click on the Wizard names and change their names at least?

Can u see the quadrascopes playing at bottom of the screen?
