Hi,

Just to add another tupence to the argument, I can't really see the point of
having an emulator than can only run X68k code but none of the legacy
software that uses the custom chips. Surely a lot of the latest software for
the Amiga makes use of the PPC chips and this functionality won't be
supported by the emulator? So it provides the worst of both worlds. Its all
very well getting excited about Quake running at 30fps but PCs and Macs
could do that five years ago.

note: its only faster because it does less. its certainly LESS
of an emulator than UAE. Take custom chip support (ECS/AGA and sound)
away from UAE and I'm sure UAE would be faster ;-)
