Hi Russ,
well, I'm not sure how many others users are interested using
emulators for other things than playing games, even so I like playing
those old games as well, but wouldn't it be nice to run Linux in a
box while in Windows or being able to use Fast RAM and virtual memory
for ST-Software. Most of the newer applications are able to use that
additional RAM and emulating an 68030 might also be a first step to
emulate the falcon too...
I guess you don't have to change that much, since most of the
software that runs on a 030 don't need perfect processor timing. I
don't know the steem source code but it might be possible to
integrate one of the freely avaiable 68030 emulation sources as
alternate processor to the existing 68000...
Again, great software und I hope you don't mind my suggestions... :)
