    i don't know if this is the right topic...

    on aminet is available a version of gcc for morphos to port any mos program to 68k..any mos application :)

    on 68k we await a good browser, even really "Sputnik" :p

    Well... you can backport quite a few simple apps this way to 68k, but many MorphOS applications make use of MorphOS-only features which are simply not available on 68k AmigaOS (new exec features, new MUI features etc.), so fixing an App using that features to run on stone old crap not only requires much time, but also adds a lot pointless extra crap to the sourcecode (which in the end makes it harder to maintain).

    If an author choosed to still support 68k he does so already, there is no need to asking for that. I can't speak for Marcik, but I doubth you'll see Sputnik on 68k very soon (if at all). It needs a lot updates on MorphOS already (it doesn't run with plain MorphOS 1.4.5 installation) to run at all.

    People move ahead. :) So if you want modern Featurs in an Amiga-alike environment you only have one choice: get MorphOS compatible hardware.

    Why not cutting your legs out while you're at it? :-?

    I share tokais POV you should move on and get MOS/Pegasos or OS4/A1 or both.
    Why bother with Hardware that is over 10 years old!?!
    In the Computer timeline a 10 year old Computer is stoneage.

    My Macbook works fine, thanks you very much... and i couldn't bring any of those with me on the train

    As for 10 years, well the last 'hardware' update I got was from 30-12-2006 (WinUAE 1.3.4), not that far in the past ;-)

    obviously i'm amithlon user and on this hardware 68k apps run very fast.
    I think sputnik or mplayer should run very well on this very fast Classic machine ;)

    i hope at least in a porting of mplayer for 68k, because froggerNG is too old ..and it is shareware :(

    Yes 68k is the Java of AMIGA'ish OS'es, runs on 68k (obviously) PPC and x86 under AOS, UAE, MorphOS and OS4.
