hahaha, crazy stuff I know! Why would someone want to emulate Amiga in a 486 Ms-Dos environment?
Well, I do. Why?
It all started about a week a go. I was fiddling with the Amx586 and a particular game I love: Sensible Soccer. Well actually I was playing Sensible World of Soccer, which is like an extension/sequel to the first one. Great game BTW! Really addictive ! I really recommend to all of you! Even if you are not a football (soccer) fan.
I was playing and I remembered the amiga version of the game, (which in my opinion, its better than the pc one as many other games, Cannon Fodder is another I can think of)
What if I could play the amiga version on the 486? What if I could play Amiga games on the 486? That would be a perfect combination for early 90's games.
So researching began. I knew about WinUAE, I checked and found a port for Ms-Dos: DosUAE
So far I have tested Workbench 1.3 and it works pretty well.
But, I'm an outsider to the Amiga World. Never had one, so I'm quite not familiar to it.
I have tried Sensible Soccer but emulation is bad, quite slow. I don't know if it is because of th Setup, or just because a 486 won't have enough power to move this emulator.
I'd like to add that it would be pretty interesting to see how we could optimize this app to make it work in a 486. Anyone interested? 😎 Or is this a sacrilege for us Vogoners!
Nevertheless here's a small video showing that it can be done:

pd: BTW there is also a Windows95 version.
