There's a lot of software out there that promises everything and delivers nothing. I felt more than a little dissapointed by some Sonic The Hedgehog demo on an Amiga emulation site. Looked like it was someone's first attempt on AMOS!
Sonic the Hedgehog was a successful attempt by japanese electronic firm to overcome Amiga, by creating killer characters they PROHIBITED all videogame makers to port it on Amiga.
Sonic is nothing but just Mickey Mouse painted in blue, with a smart bad guy smile, some fleecy thorns on its back, and drawn as here in Italy use to draw Mikey Mouse (smart big eyes) since the '70 years.
Here Mickey Mouse in Casablanca remake, drawn by Giorgio Cavazzano italian Disney artist.
Here is Sonic...
Really looks a Mickey Mouse with steroids and Genetically modified. Sonic is nothing but a bad OGM of Mickey.
And remember that on Amiga our programmers just demonstrated Amiga can do it more than the pityful Sonic the blue-pig-hog, because we created JAMES POND!
Too bad the Amiga videogames firms had not the same resources as japanese, to create a James Pond cartoon and full merchandise, to overcome Sonic the pidgeon!
:-D
For all other people.
There is a good Playstation 1 emulator called Bleem.
If I remember well it runs also on Amiga.
Check it, or just check for modern implementations of Playstation emulators.
Then also we could ask some programmers to create a loader, just as in "Earth 2410", or Quake, or Descent Freespace.
