Adding x86 or arm to the fpga to emulate 68k/powerpc is a bad idea.

No one will make software for the emulator.

Amiga 68k is not a bad computer, but 68k is too slow.
 
What we really need is to add powerpc to fpga.

Fast 68k does not exist, the mythical 68k from natami exists only in a sick imagination of gunnar von boehn.

x86 and arm as litte endian processors do not allow for integration with existing software.

SPARC, Itanium, Z * from IBM are too expensive.

MIPS, SH4 are too slow.

PowerPC is the only reasonable solution for the Amiga in an FPGA.


Just run 68K code in UAE and use AROS for the ARM/x86.   Might not be the perfect solution, but considering cost and man power, it's the only viable solution.
