Amiga emulators: is it worth it?

[ferrellsl]

What you're talking about has already been done.  It's called Amithlon.  Works very well on older hardware.

It was once a commercial product but is no longer being developed.  You can find torrents for it on the net.  It has a fairly active user group on Yahoo and several people still work on updating the linux kernel and hardware drivers.

I ran it on a P-III at 800Mhz and it flew!

Here's a link for it on the bay.

It's no longer sold in stores and I doubt that anyone will resurrect it for commercial purposes....just not enough demand.

I suppose if you're insisting on paying for it, you might find a copy on E-Bay, but it will be terribly out of date.  The torrent version has been updated to a much more recent kernel and updated video and network drivers as well.

I ran it on a P-III.  It also runs on the latest processors too.  You can run in on whatever x86 system you want.  I really don't care.
