This thread is so silly.
The original Amiga boards were huge as doors before they were shrinked and fabricated.
1) This shrinkage changed the speed of the original chips by laws of physics.
This equals not cycle exact.
2) from OCS to AGA the design changed again, speeds changed again, design changed for 32 bit support.
This equals cycle change again.
3) Every Amiga model that has different cpu is not cycle exact, this is by design.
The original Amigas were software simulations on mainframes, then went hardware.
FPGA to hardware is the same process, we dont even know if Commodore developers used FPGAs later, it was all secret.
There is no such thing as cycle exact, its just marketing hype.
IF hardware can run Amiga OS and Amiga programs the same way as Commodore Amiga then its Amiga. Simple as that.
Come on ppl the original dream for Amiga was to have Amiga software running everywhere, whatever way possible.
Software, hardware, simulation, emulation its all Amiga.
Has everyone forgot ? Resistance is Futile.
We are all Amigans, the more different hardware the better, not arguing authenticity, speed,
measuring xxxx size.
Work together and build or work against and destroy.
Look within yourself and decide which are you.
Blue camp red camp its all stupid grow up its All Amiga, we should be sharing code, apps and knowledge not keeping it for my system only.
Aslong as it works with Amiga software its a plus for Amiga.
Simply put, do you actually think a normal user cares what hardware it is ?
