Title: Amiga 060 demos working on Icaros Desktop ?
Post by: yogib33r on October 13, 2022, 10:29:38 AM: Hello all !
Now i own an Icaros Desktop computer (core duo with 4go of ram, rtl 8139 for ethernet and nvidia 9500 gt for gfx) and i believe that i can emulate a 1260 computer so demos for amiga 1200 with 060 processor.
Is it possible ?
Thanx a lot :)

Regards

It is no problem to emulate 060 but our Amiga 68k emulator is way outdated. For this reason most 060 demos will not run correct.

On all WinUAE based Amiga emulators (FS-UAE, E-UAE, JanuUAE etc..) the 060 has the same power as the 020.

Of course if a Demo requires 060 you must have the correct 060 compatible libraries on the system.

No, it is not. This version unfortunatly does not work. I would appricate if people test stuff before they upload to the archives. If we want AROS to look like a serious Operative System we should focus on software that is tested and work.

Post by: AMIGASYSTEM on October 15, 2022, 02:07:26 PM: I agree with you nikos, software before being upload on archives.aros must be tested thoroughly !
Otherwise new users might believe that all software posted on archives does not work and consequently and abandon AROS.

I can promise you that a very good reason people do not use or like AROS is cause they experienced a lot of problems with it. As we talk about, bad software is one of the reasons. We should at least be open about it. I used countless of hours to try out AROS hardware and software. It should not be like that. Most give up very fast if things do not work imidiatly.
