Investigate PowerUP reimplementation. #4

AmigaOS4 provides no compatibility with PowerUP binaries. Maybe it would be worth checking out if such compatibility could be provided via ReWarp. It's much less practical than WarpOS, as I don't remember any high profile software titles ever being developed for PowerUP. Though there were some really interesting demos.

Frank Wille once created PowerUP reimplementation for WarpOS, ppclibemu: http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ppclibemu

The ppc.library wrapper should be enough to give PUP emulation. I'm just wondering if the ELF structure from PUP binaries is compatible with the ELF used in OS4. Need to test this.

PowerUP emulation on OS4 would be awesome :-)

Give me a working X5000. Like with sound card, with working USB...It's a big mess.

DvdBoon commented 3 years ago

Sam440 is out of commision too. Tabor is at Hyperion. AmigaOne XE has problems with SATA.... I am a bit disappointed with OS4.

rkujawa commented 3 years ago

@DvdBoon I can send you my Sam460 (the original not cost reduced model). I don't have the time to use it anyway...

DvdBoon commented 2 years ago

X5000 finally fixed. :-)

@DvdBoon Weren't you have any luck with ppc.library ?:) just found recently there is a couple of good demos written for pup, and as i aware the demos which still wrote Mawi and Encore for morphos are system-friendly PUP ones that can/should work even on old classic amigas with pup.
