we can read on several forums which it is difficult to port a MAC emulator to morphos because of the MMU.

It is a real problem or just a little difficulty to solve?

Will this problem be solved with the Qbox?

Will we have a Mac emulator on morphos a day ?

Is AOS4 affected by the same MMU problem?

Sorry, but please dont tell me anything about MOL. MOL is fine, but I dont want use Linux.

My system is morphos and in a few cases, I need to convert a PPS or a word document to an amiga format friendly. I dont want boot linux and morphos just for this.

Hi Serge !

- To convert word document to Amiga friendly format you can use Wow
(Aminet).

- About PPS picture, there is WarpPSdt on Aminet. If I remenber PPS is
the Photo shop format. So you can use this dt to convert your picutre

Bye

Hi Nico

PPS and PSD are not the same thing.

PSd is the photoshop format, and I use WarpPSD since a long time, but PPS is similar to PPT.
ppt and pps are powerpoint formats.

Wow dont work properly. There is a lot of things missing in the result.

Microsoft formats are realy fuking things, but I receive a lot of this shiiiiit.

I'm sade and whish to have an office suite sooner.

papyrus rulez

For Word docs, try Antiword on Aminet, that works with all documents I've tried.
I note that Dopus Mag II doesn't like it, but it can be made to work using an Arexx or Shell script to pass the params.

I would like ot see MOL ported to morphos i think that would be great. i mean i love linux and all but dual booting sux. i want my peggy to have morphos and openbeos, and msbey QNX but i have to many linux box's as it is

multibooting my windows/red hat laptop is easy for for me. but then i set it up so there is a GUI and I don't need to type anything at all.

there HAS to be a way to do that on a peg.
If i'm going to be using linux on a PEg, there will be!

is there GRUB for the peg?

wait on your quote from me it says "ual booting" and my actual post says "dual booting" hehe i admit i make A LOT of typoes but when i get one right i wana have it be quoted right lol

OK guys, but what about this MMU problem?

Is there a way to solve it or not ?
Is AOS4 affected with a similar problem?
This was a big question on the last 2 years, but if I remembre, OS4 use something like MOS technic " a box". Will this problem be solved with the Qbox ? May be there is another way to emul a mac, but wich one?

MOL seems to be a lot integrated and dependent of linux. To port MOL it's needed to create a lot of things missing on MOS and existing only on linux. MOL is not just a program to be recompilated.

why not a MACbox like AmigaBOX It would be nice to have MAC and amiga applis working on Qbox

ya it would hehe

If someone wants to create an emulator that traps accesses to some memory positions in MOS with the current information I guess it would be nearly impossible...

An easy way to solve it would be to bring the coders an API to be able to trap accesses to some memory positions.

OS4 already has that API in theory (OS4 now running in A1 because they have written a small and basic AGA emu that only traps the basic calls needed to make old 68k graphics.library to work) anyway as it's unreleased yet it's too soon to talk about that. In addition to that this is not the place to talk about OS4, we are on Morphzone

I think that creating an API to have some control of the MMU in the A-Box would not be difficult to the MOS programmers as they have access to the Q-Box info. I mean something similar to Thomas Ritcher's 68k mmu.library but for ppc in the A-Box...
