Project Petunia (AmigaOS4 JIT emulator) pages updated and extended with a FAQ.
Project Petunia pages (the emulator, that will be used in AmigaOS4) updated and extended with a FAQ.
After a long period of checking forums, chatboards and answering e-mails I decided to add a FAQ part into the project page. I hope I can clean up all the important questions arising in you. If something is not clear enough feel free to write a mail.

Project Petunia FAQ : Comment 36 of 68 | ANN.lu |
Posted by PaulT on 20-Aug-2002 18:28 GMT | In reply comments 6 and 32:
Apple's original 68K emulator was not JIT. However, by 1997 both Apple's and Connectix's emulators (latter referred to as Speed Doubler) were referred to in the press as using Dynamic Recompilation (1). I think that this was also the term that DEC used for its Alpha-platform x86 emulator.
As far as Apple, or Connectix, selling their emulator code, why the hell not? They're not making those companies any money any more! Get some more milk out of that cow! Is that going to cost Apple lots of Mac sales? Heck no. I say, explore ANY chance to get the A1 out sooner. Unfortunately it looks like A,Inc is pretty much broke. Making it look like it was a good idea to outsource the hardware.... :(
