Morphos amiga games

SimCity for Amiga refused to run, reporting that it could not initialize the music system. And a couple of games included with MorphOS.

MorphOS has an installer utility, but applications can also be installed just by copying them in. Interestingly, MorphOS has a disk defragmenter utility. That is not something I usually see in smaller OSes. I'm eyeballing a mac G4 laptop that is compatible with MorphOS with the idea of turning it into a modern amiga-like laptop. My concern lies with the reason I want an amiga laptop to begin with -- I've been diving deeper into amiga demoscene programming and would love a little portable kit to work on when I'm not outside the house.

Now, granted, I could grab a modern laptop and run Win-UAE or whatever and get an "amiga laptop" that way, but I'm sort of drawn to the PPC architecture as the next-gen amiga platform. How is the speed of doing something like this? I'm eyeballing about a mhz PPC mac, so I'm worried this might be unusually slow for Amiga emulation. I know this is a super oddball question to ask, so please bare with me. Any ideas on how MorphOS is for all this stuff? Yes, there's binary compatibility with much of the classic PPC software, and there's an excellent, transparent 68k emulator built in that lets you run 68k binaries as if they were native PPC applications, and super fast too since the rest of the machine isn't emulated and the 68k software can use the native PPC API.

But it all only works for system-friendly applications. As soon as classic software bangs the hardware or shuts down the OS, it doesn't work and you need to use emulation instead. My A1-XE is MHz and it's quick enough for most classic games but does slow down in some instances. The system is disk based. Of course there is a Ram Disk. The layout of the system disk sys: basically is the same as under OS3. The installation adds also the following directories to sys:.

It contains a draft mirror of the sys: directory tree that includes the actual OS files. To keep the system clean it must not be touched by the user. The "kickstart" of MorphOS is included in a file called boot. It is written by many of those folks who actively kept Amiga alive when noone else was there in the late 90ies. But even very old applications like the program write from an old appetizer disk of AmigaOS 2. And there are also MorphOS versions of many well known Amiga applications provided - e.
