    This is QEMU, which is a CPU emulator. In order to transparently run Win32/x86 executables on MorphOS/PPC we'd need a combination of a CPU emulator like QEMU and an API wrapper like WINE (only tailored for MorphOS API instead of Unix API as target).

    Btw, something like this (WINE + QEMU) was once in the plans for OSX/PPC:

    ...and it's apparently already working on Linux/ARM(64):

    CPU emulation under MorphOS isn't any faster than under any other OS on the same hardware. So for full system virtualization (including CPU emulation) the host OS shouldn't make a difference regarding speed, as opposed to transparently running executables through an API wrapper.

    BSzili:

    The other side to this is I'm not sure there are too many out there that want advanced DOOM Editing under MorphOS bad enough to take up such a challenging task.

    I know you take interest in these things, but you are one man and I know your programming plate is already quite full. ;)

    It wouldn't be impossible, but it would be a hell of a lot of work.

    No, the screenshot doesn't mean I'm going to finish it ;-)

    Heh! :)

    Sounds like I need to get rich so I can afford a bounty for my personal ambitions. :)
