    The best card for X5000 with MorphOS is X1950XT. It supports 3d, overlay, 2d acceleration. it is quite cheap but powerfull. It is also supported by AmigaOs4.x although without 3d.

    What would have to be supported are HD77xx (GCN1) and newer cards. MorphOS support currently ends with HD76xx (TeraScale 2). The R5 2xx cards currently supported are all TeraScale 2 also. These are not to be confused with the OS4-supported RX 4xx/5xx cards, which are GCN4 (Polaris).

    > The other Rx or 7xxx cards listed on the page are no Polaris cards.

    Even worse than not being Polaris/GCN4 cards, they are not even GCN1 cards ;-)

    > Radeon R5 230 is a relabeled HD6450 which is a minimally improved
    > HD5450 itself. All 3 sharing the same chipset

    Both R5 230 and HD6450 use Caicos (RV910), but HD5450 uses Cedar (RV810). They are certainly not the same.

    > which is certainly not the same the other Radeon Rx cards (being Polaris).

    There are also many Rx cards between TeraScale 2 and GCN4/Polaris:
    - GCN1: R5/R7/R9 240/250/265/270/280/330/340/350/370/430/435/450/520
    - GCN2: R7/R9/RX 260/290/295/360/390/455
    - GCN3: R9 285/380/Fury/Nano/530

    > I see some of the cards are already supported.

    I don't think so.

    > I will check what chipset my R7 250 is using.

    It's Oland, which is GCN1.

    > Then again, 3D etc support would be very welcome.

    2D support for GCN1 or GCN4 would be a good start ;-)

    X1950XTX should be a tad faster, but probably also more expensive.

    @Epsilon,

    you can fix most of the 'browser unsupported' warnings by changing the User Agent from the menu.

    Nice article on your Blog. Good to see morphos an wayfarer running Google Apps on the X5000.
    For now i have to stick with donating the developers. Hope that one day my X5000 will be running morphOS as well with a graphicscard that fully supports both OSes.. (OS4.x - MorphOS)

    Very thorough and full article that you obviously have spent lots of time writing. Very nice, thanks! :-)

    Wayfarer does indeed not support media playback, which is a well known fact. Uncertain if it ever will AFAIK. I hope it will, since it's part of a contemporary HTML5+ web experience.

    Maybe speed will improve slightly, but I don't think you should expect miracles in this regard, I think much of it comes down to WebKit and the rest of the world having moved very far away from our 1.5 decade old HW. There is no way around ancient and slow CPU performance for applications simply requiring high performance. The experience should be slightly faster on 2004-2005 level Mac's, but they are no speed daemons either in a contemporary context. MorphOS needs a platform migration urgently.

    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)

    Maybe a "first run" welcome page (after new install of a new version), loaded from the wayfarer.icu site that can be updated quick and easy (with local basic fallback), with tips and tricks for configuration etc? :-)

    Looks really nice! I wish I had a GPU on my X5000 that supported MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.1

    Good job!
    Did you use KVM-PR for QEMU? Is there any way to enable tthis?

    This would come as a surprise for me too. How fast is 'fast' (in terms of CPU benchmarks like dnetc, for instance)? I assume that despite both cores being Book III-E, the PPC440H6 core is running fully emulated on the e5500 core, rather than using KVM-PR to emulate just the supervisor instructions.

    Indeed QEMU is quite fast in CPU/Memory related tasks.
    With TCG dinamic compiler all powerpc code is translated in host native asm code, with instruction cache support to avoid to repeat the same work again and again..
    Tested it with various software on OS4 and MOS, some written/ported by myself :-)
    Big slowdown appears on GFX task, at least on OS4.1 emulation.
    This specific issue is, at least partially, due the SM501 emulated board and it's internal 32bit mode VS only 16bit screenmodes support on amiga side.

    Balaton Zoltan is developing an ATI vga alternative for both MOS/OS4 that shouild be faster and more compatible, even for 3d stuff.
    He is also planning a Pegasos2 virtual board for QEMU and possibility to run MOS/OS4 in KVM mode on powerpc machines like Powermacs G4/G5.

    Do you have a link to setup MorphOS in this VM like environment?

    Look at Xeno74 post #40
    Open the png image link an use the same QEMU launch string used in its terminal window.

    I have never launched MOS on QEMU, I used only Sam460ex OS4.1fe, so I can't give you a direct support.

    Maybe Xeno74 can give some tips about

    Yes, we talked about those projects some months ago :-)

    I think it works on the X5000/40 but I haven't tried it yet. I need another graphics card for MorphOS on the X5000/40.
