I've got a friend working on a .deb for that, so if you're not comfortable using the terminal, you may wish to wait for that.

Interestingly, that's actually Mac OS running on the Amiga without an emulator. The Amiga A1200 has a 68060 CPU, which, although somewhat incompatible with the 68040 used in Macs, can have the incompatible bits patched by a virtual machine in software - rather than emulating the 68k from the ground up which would be slower.

Ha! Looks like I got a little overly excited and I only saw what I wanted to see.

That said, I'm not ruling out a port of UAE: http://www.amigaemulator.org/. Actually, I think Basilisk II borrows code from this for parts of it's 68k emulation.

You would gain A LOT more fans if you could pull this off. Maybe you can build on some of the work that was done in the past (but never completed)? http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=5298

Sadly sound doesn't work... neither with this new Fremantle binary nor with the old Diablo binary. Back in January I recall having tested this with the Diablo binary and thought it was working, that is I could go into the Sounds Control Panel and change the alarm sounds -- and I could hear the different sounds.

Since the PR 1.1 update has happened, wonder if that has anything to do with this... there's a startup message

If there isn't something obvious that we are missing, then you may have to byte the bullet and mod the basilisk code to use pulseaudio directly.

Are you by any chance running it as root? It seemed to only work if I didn't (I was still root when I copied it into opt).

I've got the latest OS on my N900 as well.

I am running it in user mode... can't really remember if sound ever worked... the startup messages suggest, establishing the ESD connection is failing from the get go!

Odd, it works for me... I just heard Fred's voice - "I sure like being inside this fancy computer" (does he have any idea what computer he's really inside of? :P)

Also I kinda did all the software update stuff when I first got it: Settings -> About shows 3.2010.02-8.002 as the version - is this PR1.1? I presume it is because it's around that date...

Try installing (apt-get install) pulseaudio-esound-compat, and see if that does it for you...

Yes, that's PR 1.1.. have that library installed already but still ESD sound does not work for me: at startup I still get the message: "WARNING: Cannot open ESD connection".

Still, good to know that it is working for you... do you get some startup messages re ESD?

Edit: problem solved! Uninstall and then re-install the above libraries.

Edit 2: Now the big problem is keyboard support... numerics, plus special characters with the blue-key do not work!
