This is amazing! A classic Amiga emulating another Classic Amiga! This does spark the question - how many times can an Amiga emulate itself? An Amiga, emulating another Amiga, which is emulating another Amiga, which is .... (and so on). I reckon 15 :roflmao:

RAM would be the limit at each stage. You'd need to make sure that your actual machine would have enough ram to emulate the first level, which would need to have enough ram to emulate the next and so on until you got to a point where the topmost level of emulation requires more RAM than you have available.

Of course, the speed would be nothing short of glacial.

I have already considered this and solved it. We can use Perpetual motion and adopt it for use on classic Amigas. We will setup a loop in that the last Amiga being emulated will use the Ram from the first Amiga resulting in infinite emulation.

My calculations predict only 4 loops of Amigas emulating Amigas would result in a warp in the space/time continuum that would suck the Earth into black hole.  But only if the exact date is May 21 2011.

Oh no we missed it :(
