Far. This is an emulator.

Yes "Emulator" but not just an Emulator ..... it has evolved and mutated beyond that, and heading in the right direction with such fire & passion. You gotta just love stuff like this!

I have to agree. It is above any beyond any emulator I have ever used in the past. I wish someone would devote as much time and energy into a good C64 emulator for the PC. I'm just not satisfied with everything out there at the moment. The best/easiest one I have seen is Power64 for the Mac but even it is still lacking in some areas.

It's definitely just an emulator... If you look closely, you will see that it can run an Operating System, and I think (though I can't be sure) in this case It's running AmigaOS...

Emulator or not, it's one of the best emus out there.

Sure it is.
It however is not "becoming an os in it's own right".
