I've been running a dedicated amiga emulation pc for awhile, with a catweasel pci. I have an old amiga 500 but I was thinking of getting a better classic machine.
Since amiga 2000's are alot more available than a4000 or a1200, I wondered if any of the graphics card upgrades allow the a2000 to display aga graphics, or are aga graphics only available on a1200 or a4000?
Sorry, been awhile and I don't recall. I thought I remembered a friend who had an a3000 getting some kind of upgrade card?
Thanks for your thoughts...

The other answers cover your question thoroughly enough, but it got me thinking about other options. Since you are already familiar with emulation, you may know the answer to my first question better than I do. Does the AGA option in WinUAE work with ANY AGA Amiga games? I have never tried it, as I am not much of a game player anymore and haven't been for years.
The other option I thought about is not released yet, and that is the Natami project, which should be fully AGA compatible when it is released.
The final thought I had about the possibilities for playing AGA games is not invented yet, but I was wondering with the great progress that Individual Computers has made with their Indivision scan doublers that use FPGA chip, or chips on them, I wonder if Jens could invent an Indivision that could give an older Classic ECS/OCS Amiga AGA capabilities. It would seem to me that if the Natami team can give AGA (or their SuperAGA) capabilities to a brand new computer design that does not have any of the original Classic Amiga's Custom Chips installed, then why couldn't Jens, or some other hardware genius, create something like the IndivisionAGA for an ECS/OCS Classic Amiga?
Something to think about, isn't it?
