"It already exists with the supplied scripts/mimetypes for many years.”

There existed a few scripts and programs to do it before RunInUAE for AmigaOS4 as well, I guess the difference is that Chris has put bit more work in it.

“RuninUAE is not part of OS4“

You might say it is, yes its contribution, but your are asked if like to installed it or not during OS4.1 installation process.

"Oh wow with Cybergrafx overlay support it must be really fast.”

Overlay is mostly for playing back video, nice to have but not so useful when you think about it.
Most be playing videos 100 x times faster on MorphOS, maybe they do it make some benchmarks, I don't get way else.

On the other hand native Amiga graphics video output in UAE does not have Picasso96 support, it might be nice to have native graphic support with out depending on SDL for Picasso96 support.

Nice if some one fixed BsdSocket emulation, I think that's more useful.

"Does this make this on par with winuae speedwise ? obviously on similar speed hardware .”

Álmos Rajnai put a lot of work into that JIT compiler.

I'm not sure WinUAE jit is that advanced, but as the name suggest its “Beta” and not finished.

"Sour grapes"

Not at all, I'm just question if its worth it.

“Overlay is isn't a video playback function per se (although it is often used in that context) “

I have not seen it used any ware else, well I have seen it in Basilisk II, but it does really work, because colors are YUV and not RGB, so all you get is green screen with horrible colors.

“Like showing a 320 x 200 Amiga screen on a moden high-res monitor in full screen.“

Sour up-scaling will be many time faster, but at cost of having to do color conversion.
