it can be only a dream ... steam need 64bit Os for run. 32 bit are not any more supported. wine cant be portable ... darwine is an example adbandoned project on OsX PPC 15 yars ago. wine run on linux ppc (on my machine) with many tricks and tips . on G5 quake in software rendering run like quake gl on PI3 with exagear (commercial app) . I had been in touch with the exagear team year ago ... but they are not interested to make a port of their wrapper on PPC and it can be portable in some parts. (try in past to make a joint Vadim (exagear) with trevor ... without succes ) Exagear emulate an i686 with sse1 and sse2 with an nvidia 5800fx wrapped in the dri Vc4 and gave a good performaces on pi3

Yep. But for a random potential new "Amiga" user, it would be cool to be able to get emulated Amiga via steam to your Steam compatible x64 PC. Initially it could be an Alice setup.
I imagine Steam is not the worst HW "abstractor" / HAL because it run games very well. In the long a run more native x64 version could be developed.
I think via Steam people get "enough" games. And I imagine with modern x64 HW one can get acceptable user experience of Amigalike OS + productivity apps + retro games.
And in the long run (in 15 years), it seems we anyway need to start using x64.

Yep. It would not be fun to nurse the "host" under the hood.
(in the very long run -> native x64 "Amiga" hosting the Steam via "AmigaOneSteam" or whatever) Last edited by KimmoK on 28-Nov-2017 at 09:43 AM.
