Come on guys! "][ in a Mac" is LAME! Although its nicely setup, where's my color? It seems completely feasible to me to make a Apple //e emulator that would run at full speed on an unaccellerated Amiga. After all, what special hardware does an Apple have? NONE. No sprites. No wild-n-wacky sound generator. Nothing. As I understand it, this is what slows down the C64 emulators. You could probably do a full-speed or faster //GS emulator (minus sound) on an accellerated Amiga. I'm surprised that the Apple //e emulator wasn't the FIRST emulator for the Amiga. It seems to be the least complicated and the Amiga drives can read GCR encoding without any special hardware. -- / "Uhh" - Jon Bon Jovi \ THISSPACEHASBEENRENTEDTHISS \\ / AMGIA!!
