Turn off 68K Emu?

Hi,

Is it possible to turn the 68K emulation off entirely under OS4?

Cheers,
Bean.

I don't think so, no. Why?

No. You can remove the JIT emulation by removing or commenting out the line "MODULE Kickstart/petunia.library.kmod" in your SYS:Kickstart/Kicklayout, but it's not possible to disable the interpreting m68k emulator.

No real reason, other than it crossed my mind when I was demonstrating OS4 at the ANT computer group this afternoon.

By the way, people seem generally impressed with OS4. It ran really well all afternoon, (come on hardware - appear again - there's some takers here).

Cheers,
Bean.

@bean

Cool. Which apps did you show?

@xeron

Mainly OS4 native apps, which is why the question originally popped into my head. I showed off Cyginx (X11) - running Gimp etc, Universe Two demo, OS4 components (PDF, RawDisk etc..), Hively Tracker got a run out , the latest iBrowse (with Flash plugin), Vice, AVD SDK Browser, MPlayer and DVPlayer with overlay, and a quick demo of how easy it is to construct full size skins in TN.

Cheers,
Bean.

teaser!...

IIRC, I asked if we could expect a speed improvement if we could remove the interpretive 68k emulator and the answer was "no".
So the only thing we could gain doing so would be a smaller kernel file.
