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.

 So there was no progress in the past three years, and as three years ago NatAmi 68k performance reaches only 060 120 Mhz.

 It's not enough. Amiga powerpc accelerators achieve better performance 17 years ago.

It does not make sense. The best solution for the Amiga FPGA would be adding powerpc processor to FPGA or using an FPGA with an already built in powerpc.

Clone-A with powerpc is exactly what is needed for Amiga community.

Really a pity that Jens to quickly gave up on that idea.

Not emulated 68k with AGA plus not emulated powerpc it would be really interesting.

Once again, yet another idiot trying to convince us Amiga users to resign from the powerpc.

We Amiga users use powerpc because it is the fastest and COMPATIBLE solution.

Powerpc exists, it works, anyone can buy and use.

As in 1997, so 2014.

x86,ARM are cool but because it is low endian they are incompatible,
and therefore useless.

And as in 1997, in 2014 emulators on x86 is still slower than powerpc.
It is boring this whole %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@! "powerpc is evil".

Years of bull%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@! but with no effects, powerpc haters can only talk but they are too stupid and too lazy to do something.

Powerpc is the best solution in the same way 17 years ago and now.

And that's why we Amiga users will still use powerpc.
