Now ~6 months after this post I don't care anymore. Drop 100% of legacy and work on the NG solution. Time to leave legacy and PPC in the dust IMO. If we move to X86-64 we should get a more proper WinUAE port which is sufficient.
I wonder if you remember the trouble we had just getting Ralph to support floppy, 8 bit screens, and WarpOS.
A Nallehpuh-like solution was given serious consideration but considered not worthwhile. The reasons I heard were:
- The system is not compatible without major changes (MorphOS doesn't ever support writing to memory without allocating it, whatever the reason, so there's nothing to trap)
- Most games that it would work for wouldn't run on MorphOS anyway, for other reasons
- Performance hit would be prohibitive even with hacks
- The existence of UAE, which was always the better option for running games
- It wasn't great even on Amithlon.
