Wish list

Just a wish really. I'd love to see a core for the Enterprise 128. It's a machine I remember seeing in computer shops in the 80's and was fascinated by it's design. I've only seen it being used on youtube.

It is a suprisingly capable system. I recommend you checkout this video by Retro Recipes for an idea of what it is capable of for games:

Re: Breakthrough for the ao486 core announced - Cache

You got Windows 98 SE running? Pretty sure second edition requires FPU, and I dont think the new core has FPU?
setup /nm

/nm - Bypasses internal processor detection, to allow Win95/98 install on systems that do not meet Microsoft minimum requirements (i.e. 386, 486SX etc).

Re: Sponsoring RTG support

I find the whole convo really interesting. Was the Amiga a games machine? Was it a productivity platform? Who designed this bit-that bit? Why? etc etc.. Blimey.. If someone wants to develop RTG support for minimig core then great, if they don't then that's great too. Isn't it the same with any core development? No one is being forced to do it.

Re: Sponsoring RTG support

Generally speaking RTG is just for WB utilities where you can simply copy the files, arrange the icons. There is no much other things you will do on Amiga. Today Amiga is a simply gaming platform which can demonstrate some good looking windowing GUI :) All Amiga productivity app are obsolete and useless today. I was an Amiga user back in the day (...

I'm just curious, I've got a Bootrom directory on the root of my SDcard, with all the bootroms for various systems in. what happens when I want to copy a new bootrom file into that directory and a bootrom file already exists using the same name for another core? is there a workaround for this?
