You can do anything but you wont have the actual feel of an Amiga.
If you want real feel of Amiga... then don't use UAE to set up your computer.
This is one of reasons I'm NOT using UAE, it to easy

. There is nothing better then some random Guru (most likely due to my original caps in my amigas

...), then you really FEEL Amiga.
BTW. Just stop yourself for trashing you Amiga hardware (it is quite expensive!)!
