Dietmar Eilert is working on MorphED : Comment 18 of 31ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 17 (Kjetil):
"I do agree it is useful but compared to having it run native, you can even start arguing about the benefits, not having the JIT overhead of converting 68k operation codes to PPC operation codes, when it really unnecessary, when you may have other native apps or 68k task inn need for all the performance they can get, and there is the stability issue when the 68k is not adapted to the native environment."

The "JIT overhead" is taken into account when I say it will run as a 200MHz 68040 on a 600MHz PPC. I see no reason why there should be any stability issue at all unless there are bugs in the emulator. MorphOS is claimed to run any non-AGA Amiga program.

I don't see what you mean by "not adapted to the native environment". Adapting the code to the PPC environment is exactly what the emulator does.

In the case of a ray tracer or audio mixer, which need all the calculating power you can get, recompiling the code (or critical sections) for PPC makes sense. In the case of a text editor, a type of program that works fine on a 7 MHz A2000, there is absolutely no need.

That is all assuming that the emulators work well. I believe both the MorphOS and the AmigaOS 4 JIT emulators are still in testing. However, the UAE and Amithlon emulators are well known.
