>I briefly had an Amiga 500 back in 2002, bought it from a guy who owned Amigas and Pegasos machines, it just stopped working...
Everything in this world is subject to birth, death, old age, and disease including your body, your PC emulator, and your Amiga so a dieing Amiga does not make an emulator on a new PC a new Amiga.
>Emulation surpasses the inaccessability to Amiga hardware, there is a limited supply out there. You cannot find a good A500 factory sealed in a box.
So that does not mean that one should get something that is NOT an amiga (from the hardware perspective). You need to convince some of your hardware pals to build you a REAL amiga. As an example, try putting an instruction like $009C,$8010 into the copper list and write an interrupt routine (pointed to by location $68) that does something time critical like writing to joystick ports and there your emulator won't work. The PC timer goes only as accurate as 1.19318Mhz whereas the copper is timing the color clocks at 3.57954525Mhz.
>The question is: Is Amiga Emulation better than the real thing?
No.
>Does it have that original Amiga soul comparable to its hardware counterparts? or is it just a bland Windows executable or binary file that tricks you to thinking that you really have an Amiga?
Souls are only present in living entities-- anything subject to birth, death, old age, disease cannot be a soul. You are a soul that's why you know you are same person (unchanging identity) throughout your life although your body has changed from when you were a baby.
As far as tricking, I don't think they are deceiving you since it does emulation on the software level and to some extent hardware (assuming no bugs and real Amiga bugs are emulated), but your Amiga is software+all of the hardware.
>Is Amiga Emulation really modern Amiga Computing since there is no new hardware out from A-inc?
Even if all the Amigas were dead on the planet, the emulator is not an Amiga. That would just mean the Amiga is extinct.
>Can you integrate Amiga Emulation into the enterprise? Let's say a type shop who prefers Amiga's to Macs?
Amiga emulation is not an Amiga so the question does not apply.
>Give me your thoughts.
You got them.
