Every single one of those statements is wrong.

I must respectfully disagree with you on one point Mike... I have 3 Miggies and THE BEST experience I get playing OCS/ECS games is ALWAYS on my A500 using either the real game or creating floppies from an ADF from The Games Archive.  

Without going into the semantics of the great hardware add-ons for the A500 (which are a must - as in my sig), games just work as they were written when using a real A500 (with the proper KS ROM). Of course I would never try to play say, Willie Beamish with it's 10 floppies or so, but playing 1 or 2 disk games is the best. Not to mention the great advantage of co-operative 2 player games linking up 2 A500's.

Don't get me wrong, WHDLoad is awesome on the A1200. But none of the games I like to play regularly, work perfectly in WHDLoad.

As far as the PPC working seamlessly with 68K on real hardware , I have no idea as I don't have such a machine!

And as far as FPGA, again I don't have one, but it would have to emulate the hardware perfectly or you would still have to run some sort of emulator such as WHDLoad I would imagine.

I think the guy's a wingnut based on his statement about AGA though!

Just my opinion of course....
Good times and good stuff though! :)

That's simply because the A500 is the real thing! :)

There is no way around this fact!

I'm not sure that ppcamiga1 has ever owned a REAL A1200.

whats there to discuss? plain boring..

cpaek72's comments, IMO, are a bit ambiguous and is simply not up to date regarding 68K games and 68K software running on an NG machine. I think, even though we may be off topic a bit, these posts are relevant to his original question. If he jumps right in and buys an NG machine expecting to do what he eluded to in his 1st post, he may be in for a surprise. I owned a SAM460EX... I kinda know. No offense to NG owners what-so-ever!

Please, by all means, lead on and give us your objective viewpoint(s) regarding his 1st post... I know you're more than qualified. Please, include all aspects of 68K games and applications and their integration/performance with OS4.1. I'm all ears! :)
