Well, if I get it right, Shapeshifer isn't really an emulator but some kind of compatibility layer to allow OS-friendly Mac programs to run on Amiga, so it might be actually be better than other options :)

I can't wait to have the new FPGA Arcade core to install Mac OS on it :D (Not that I like Mac OS better! But it has some decent non-amiga games like Alone In The Dark or Wolfenstein 3D).

ShapeShifter actually is an emulator. It's not like say, Wine, whereas you can run programs on your host desktop. It boots to a MacOS desktop, and things run from there either on a windowed or full-screen mode.


It's not a full emulator: it doesn't emulate the 680x0 CPU or the Mac custom chips. It's uses virtualisation techniques if I'm not mistaken, so Mac OS software runs natively on the Amiga CPU & chipset. Correct me if I'm wrong.
