As I said before:
Don't hesitate, just emulate. |

Can anyone recall any cases of, hmmm, "superior" emulation? A lesser machine, trying to emulate a better one? Seem to remember an Amiga emulator for C-64, or even Amstrad CPC 6128 , or am I wrong?
Surely there must have been for some systems some sort of semi-working emulators of this type? |

There were Atari ST kits that emulated a Mac

Very important for the amiga scene.
I choose this altough i own and use my two classics(1200 & 500), winuae is a excellent path to running 68k code actually, when most parts for these computers are very hard to find or repair. Also, i think, that in the case of amiga it even beats the real thing in case of performance (040 at speeds over the ghz). So this is my point of view. See ya! |

Well there was the Atari ST emulator for the amiga, and I guess if you count mhz for mhz, the ST could be classed as "superior" to the amiga in that one respect.

As for Amiga emulation, I think it's pretty important, even though I don't emulate and probably won't until all my Amigas die. By then I imagine that Amiga emulation will be as good as C64 emulation is at present (if not better!). |

'Had to say 'all hail emulation'
Why? I've never owned a 'real' Amiga. I had various Acorn computers if any of you have heard of them, & pretty d**n good they are too. Then I came across UAE followed by AIAB. Hmmm. AmigaOS pretty good! 'Wish I'd payed more attention when it was 'worth' buying hardware. ( Please don't flame me for the last comment. I do understand that many people get alot out of their investment, & there's nothing wrong with being a retro freak. ) So a few years later & quite alot of Amiga-specific software bought, I'm very pleased with my 'Amigas' ( WinUAE, AmigaForever, Amithlon ) running on various x86 boxes along with a fair selection of other OS's inc RiscOS under emulation. It's by far the most pleasent enviroment I use. It allows me huge room for customization. It's got lots of useful apps+games, and is the only OS I know of whose workings are fairly transparent to the user while remaining very powerful. Also with my OS architecture hat on it's still a beautifully elegant & efficient pice of work. I can't for the life of me understand why its fundamentals haven't been ripped off by 'modern' OS' vendors rather than the largely brain-dead crud about @ present that only functions by brute force. ( Windows, Linux, MacOS to name a few ) Ranting aside, I would never have sampled all this deliciousness without emulation. So... All Hail Emulation!! Last edited by Charlie; 15 June 2005 at 21:01. |

A machine is only as good as its software in most cases and unfortunately pc's are blessed with Windows If windows was as powerful (in comparative terms considering progress and development) as Workbench then PC's would be fantastic machines! |

Workbench had a huge underlying power with little requirements and it wasn't bloated shit. Windows is Huuuge in comparison and is over bloated with a lot of shit and the requirements are not justified!! If windows was a streamlined and powerful (considering the advances in technology) then it'd be beautiful to use!! |

its the future.
Hardware that emulates hardware, its briljant, never again a game won't run due of to low or to high system. Or a graphics card that hapen not to run on ur game. A flexible and compatible system, turn ur pc to amiga or playstation It will be the PE....personal emulator |
