[Emutos-devel] EmuTOS for Amiga: committed

Dear EmuTOS users,

2 years ago I hacked EmuTOS to run on Amiga hardware (actually WinUAE) as a 
Kickstart ROM replacement. Since then, I have continuously cleaned up EmuTOS 
to be more reliable and versatile. The recent EmuTOS 0.8.7 release contained 
potential support for non-Atari hardware, but no concrete application.

Today I have committed the Amiga patch. It is quite incredible to see how 
much the patch is small. Basically, the Amiga specific stuff is located in 
the new files amiga.c and amiga2.S. There are *minimal* hooks in the main 
EmuTOS code, so the sources did not suffer at all. Of course, any general 
EmuTOS improvement or bugfix will immediately be available for Amiga as well.

The features did not change since 2 years go:
- ST-High video mode only
- IDE hard disk support
- No floppy

Of course there is room for further improvements, but basically, the main 
stub is here. EmuTOS for Amiga will be one of the main features of the 0.9.0 
release planned for next winter.

See a few attached screenshots (which did not change too much in 2 years).

To celebrate this new child in the EmuTOS family, I have built a new snapshot:
EmuTOS CVS-20120623
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emutos/files/snapshots/CVS-20120623/

- Use default videl boot resolution if VDI does not support NVRAM value
- Support for Amiga hardware and new emutos-amiga-*.zip binary archive

Enjoy.
