« on: December 21, 2007, 03:14:38 AM »

- Full doublescan mode emulation (DBLPAL, DBLNTSC, MultiScan etc..),
  sprite doublescan support.
- Full SuperHires emulation, bitplanes and sprites, including ECS
  Denise "scrambled palette" superhires mode. Also does not downscale
  hires sprites to lores anymore when bitplane resolution is lores.
- SuperHires resolution added to display panel, replaces old GUI lores
  setting with lores, hires and superhires select box.

- "Automount" and "Do not boot" harddrive options added.
- Axis movements can be mapped to buttons in input panel
  (left/right and up/down)

- optional ini-file registry replacement. (winuae.ini or -ini )
- Autocomplete added to most path text boxes.

Yes "Emulator" but not just an Emulator ..... it has  evolved and mutated beyond that, and heading in the right direction with such fire & passion. You gotta just love stuff like this!

I have to agree. It is above any beyond any emulator I have ever used in the past. I wish someone would devote as much time and energy into a good C64 emulator for the PC. I'm just not satisfied with everything out there at the moment. The best/easiest  one I have seen is Power64 for the Mac but even it is still lacking in some areas.

It's definitely just an emulator... If you look closely, you will see that it can run an Operating System, and I think (though I can't be sure) in this case It's running AmigaOS...

Sure it is.

It however is not "becoming an os in it's own right".
