# Porting Decisions and Potential Benefits

As of 2026-10-12. These are engineering hypotheses, never observed acceleration claims.

## Work order

1. Qualify the existing compiled/revival games before launching more unfinished projects.
2. Prefer adopting existing AROS/AmigaOS/MorphOS engine work, then replace legacy display, sound, input and thread adapters with Open-family APIs.
3. Benchmark OpenGPU/OpenAudio/OpenMedia/OpenMulticore only on suitable workloads; do not blindly offload game loops to extra cores.
4. Promote a release only after the approved compiler, target guest, rights and runtime tests pass.

- **Fallout Community Edition** — Sustainable Use License v1.0 in checked-out source: free, non-commercial distribution only; original game data excluded.
- **Gun.Smoke AGA** — Reported AGA conversion, not assumed open source.
- **Ken's Labyrinth** — Original source terms may restrict commercial reuse; review before authoring a product port.
- **Master of Magic (ReMoM)** — No verified upstream reusable licence found; review ReMoM source before a port.
- **Silent Hill (PS1 reimplementation)** — Check exact source, reverse-engineering provenance and external PS1 game data.
- **Sonic (Reassembler AGA)** — Commercial IP and hand-coded conversion; source and redistribution rights unconfirmed.
- **Sonic Robo Blast 2** — Upstream official-source identity and reused Sonic assets need independent rights review.
