Hi lost_loven, Only a few weeks ago I bought an iMac G4 17" 800Mhz 160 gig HD OSX 10.4.11. I've already got a C64 emulator running at full speed on it and a SNES emulator also running at full speed on it. I only I could find an Amiga emulator for this set up, Id like to give that a go. Surely if it can run the SNES emulator at full speed it should be able to handle a miggy emulator.

Dunno which version of OSX your running but to get the best out of this model you'd be best to upgrade it to OSX 10.4.11 (no point in going higher on this machine). I upgraded mine to 1GB ram for about £35.

If your looking for emulators for this iMac try here...

Don't understand what all the fuss is about, regarding Legal or Moral issues with obtaining a KS ROM image file.

I haven't been on the internet for long but I've already came across numerous sites where you can if you need it erm... 'obtain' KS ROM image files. :rolleyes:

I have never in 20 odd years of using computers came across one single person who hasn't, shall we say 'used' or 'borrowed' some sort of software for their computer. Hell even the guy who installed OSX and upgraded my iMac included for me some erm... 'borrowed' software onto it and he was a qualified Apple technician working for an Apple approved company on a legitimate call out...

Maybe it's just me, but if you want to run Amiga software then use Amiga hardware, I would never torture myself to running an Amiga emulator when there is still plenty of genuine Amiga hardware still around, and this iMacG4  I bought is only useful for the internet and pales in comparison to my various Amiga Set ups.
