I have a question that I was wondering if the technical guys on this site might be able to help me understand. Or at least I will give a whole bunch of people on this site something to flame me about. As I see that happens on these forums a lot.
If the WinUAE program supports AGA thru emulation why isn't it possible to write a program or emulator that will run on the current stock of Graphics card for the Amiga that will emulate the AGA chips on an ECS amiga or the new Indivision ECS. Yes obviously the standard unaccelerated Amigas won't be able to handle this but how about the ones that have 060 or PPC accerlators in them. I mean we talk about how the system multitasks well how about a subroutine that redirects the video output to a graphics card or Indivision ECS that will use the same type of emulator that is being used on the UAE system.
Has then been tried before?

Well I think you have to remember in the case of WinAUE... You're emulating-down, not emulating up. What I mean by that is your running that emulator on a computer with gigs of memory, gigahertz+ cpu, and millions of colors.
Emulation can't make old hardware do more then it was originally capable of... Emulation just creates "virtual hardware" using the copious amounts of computing power we have today. I don't think you would have the CPU power on even an '040 for that type of emulation...
