Sort of. An old version of AmiGenerator was 060 compatible, but I got about 1.5 SPF (not FPS) on my Blizzard1260/50.

That's the only one I'm aware of. Too bad someone hasn't written an emulator that uses the Amiga's native 680x0 as opposed to re-implementing it. There'd probably be quite a few problems on the higher-level chips, due to instruction changes, though - Just how old Amiga 68000 games don't work well on newer machines. Could probably be corrected in a WHDLoad style, but might cost some speed.

Look on aminet for nostalgia. It is great GUI for a lot of emulators plus It can get the latest version of the emulators when you are connected.

Dude, here's the link to a website that has got some emulators, Megadrive included:

http://www.classicgaming.com/aec/nocss/html/downloads.html

It supposedly has Generator 040 that will run on your 060, but i have never seemed to got it working. Anyway, i shouldn't build your hopes up as emulation support on the Amiga is a crock of ####e compared to PC and Macs. Get a PPC! And use Amigadogs' Generator PPC! :-)
