Then I considered that an emulator is more compatible than teh real thing... for example my A1200 may not run older ECS games, but my emulator will.

It would if you used a kickstart 1.x with the a1200. You can also run 99% of the games using a 1200 with the whdload software, which is much better than loading games from floppy anyways.. The drawback is that you need more than the standard 2meg chipram and that you need a hard drive. But if your a1200 has a hd+4meg ram added, then it will work perfectly with nearly all pre accelerator games.

UAE just does not cut it for gaming for me.. One of the things that annoyes me, is that it is plain impossible to get audio and video synced 100%. The audio is always delayed by so so many ms to stop it from getting choppy.
Also scrolling is nowhere near as perfect, as the background processes of the OS will interfere there.
Winuae is only better when you need pure cpu power.
