MrMaddog Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 tl;dr - It's about a video driver for Linux/m68k (TOS version) to run on a newer virtual machine that runs 68K code. Which is actually cool for those who need something newer than Aranym. Oh and I just love how the limey who wrote the article instantly switched topics about Amiga accelerators for playing games.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzip Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Wow, that article is all over the place and made my head hurt! 1, there's a new Linux/m68k driver for Atari ST/TT/Falcon that was developed under aranym. I guess my question is how many people still run linux/m68k since Linux now runs on just about any device? 2. QEMU will have an m68k target Interesting, but I wonder if it will be useful for emulating Atari systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current development is done on Aranym since actual 68030 computers are harder to come by now. Quote 2.

But m68K Linux will run on a number 680x0 systems, not just Atari. I'm more wondering if QEMU will be able to emulate a TOS compatible Atari system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
