Hi Ed, I assume you are part of the Visual6502 project? Wonderful idea! I hope you can hurry along the decapping guys as we all want to see the Amiga chips in their full glory... actually imagine a visual sim of the entire Amiga!!! 
Yes, I'm part of the team. It's become a slightly distributed effort for the polygon capture, but deprocessing and photography is especially skilled work and is still one guy.
Putting together a system simulation is an attractive idea - noting that the clock speed may be a million times slower than reality, so video frames could be an overnight wait - but it's most likely that some eight-bit system or other will appear before the Amiga, and neither will be soon, because of the bottlenecks. (Quietust is doing well with
the NES, and Greg had an early demo of a partial 2600 - see page 44 of
the pdf)
Die photos of the decapped chip is always the first thing to appear though, and you'll see it on the
blog as soon as it happens! We do have a chipset for an Amiga 500, and will get to it, but we've other promises to keep up first.
(Thanks to everyone who has donated chips!)
Cheers
Ed
