That helped, but it's still a bit too technical for me.

Will this run OS4 Classic?  If it's emulating an A500, is it powerful enough to run the newer OS? And how would you use older disk-based software?  


No OS4, that requires a PowerPC accelerator. Think of the minimig as nothing more than a really small and flexible Amiga 500, nothing more, nothing less. Games are played from a MMC flash card, using disk images (.adf). Many older games have been released into the public domain as ADF. If you own an original floppy, it will not work on the minimig. However finding a backup in ADF form online is quite easy.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!
