I don't want to start a war, but I personally don't consider those new boxes true Amigas.  Even if that wasn't the case, compared to modern PC's the hardware is lame. If I were going to emulate to play old Amiga games, why not just do it on a PC?

So here's one "old school" user with an official "No."

Because emulation is not what you get a next-gen 'Amiga' for. You can't play 98% of Amiga games on an A1 or Pegasos, because the old stuff hits the hardware anyway. UAE is tonnes better if you want to do this.


I was under the impression there was also a version of UAE for the new machines.  It's what my "If I were going to emulate ..." implied, because we can already do that (and probably faster) on the PC.
