There is a chipset simulator that is allowing them to write software for the SuperAGA core even before it's ready.  For details see Natami.net.

They've also added some 3d graphics programmers to their team recently in order to add phong shading and alpha-blending.

As for the 3d drivel and simulator being Windows-based, I suspect that it would have been too slow if they emulated the CPU at the same time.  Likewise, I think their design is adding AGA compatibility to a PC-style graphics chipset rather than the other way around.
