Actually, the crazy thing was that Amiga was outperforming Mac with similar hardware.
- beagle3 9y agoNot crazy at all; The CPU did not need emulation, and the ROM was rewritten to use the Amiga's superior hardware. For example, the Mac back then did all graphics in software, where as even the earliest Amiga model, the 1000, had a capable hardware blitter. If I am not mistaken, the Amiga's copper chip was flexible enough to map the display memory exactly like the Mac.
