Watching the arguments about what is Emulation and what isn't, reminds me of the old RISC vs CISC arguments. :lol:
There really isn't a RISC/CISC dichotomy anymore, modern designs have features of both

As alluded to earlier in the thread, once we started hitting drivers rather than the actual hardware... The emulation line starts to blur... Modern CPUs "emulate" the ISAs of earlier devices... It's all irrelevant, now... All tht matters is wether your software will run or not.
