I think I'm going to stick with winuae installed on a stripped down winxp installed with windows shell removed, but upgrade to a better box.
My current system is ghz, and plays all but the very demanding aga games just fine in winuae. It runs all other software fine too. Seems like this is a nice idea but an awful lot of aggravation to get going.
I have WinUae installed on MicroXP, running on a 3Ghz multicore CPU.
Having also ran this a few years back, I can still say, without a doubt, that you do not realize what you are missing out on here. Sincerely!
