Marion, I hope you can help me. I'm new to this forum and was wondering if you
knew of any emulators I could use with my mac powerbook to run Amiga software
in emulation.
Anything you could suggest would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
Thanks,
Andrew Crist
Andrew, I hope that you do not mind me replying to your question. Although
there are a couple of Macintosh emulators for the Amiga, there are NO Amiga
emulators for the Mac (or any other platform for that matter). It is impossible
for these other platforms to emulate the Amiga custom chips through software,
and it would be illegal to duplicate them in hardware. The Amiga can emulate a
Mac (and rather well too, I might add) but not the other way around. *SIGH* if
only the higher-ups at Commodore knew what they had.

It is not impossible to emulate an Amiga in software. It's just very, very
complex.

Yes, it would be extremely complex and very slow.

Why don't you sell your mac powerbook and buy an amiga with
a mac emulation board, it will run all your software and faster.
with the amiga you can emulate the mac & ibm systems, having all
three platforms on one computer the amiga. Now go run along now
and make sure you tell your mac friends in the other forums.:)
Charles,
a Powerbook is portable, which is more than I can say for any Amiga.
We should have had a portable LONG ago.
