True, but Apple had similar issues and were able to port their OS to PowerPC. Old apps still ran with an emulator.

- zozbot234 3y agoTrouble is, most Amiga "apps" were games running on bare metal hardware with tight timing constraints, so emulation was not really a feasible solution. A similar situation to modern consoles, for which backwards compatibility often involves keeping the original hardware even on subsequent systems.
- icedchai 3y agoTrue, true. Perhaps they could've had an "A1200-on-a-card" or something for the games.
