They&#8217;re installed on Windows PCs based on the latest Intel and AMD heat generators. They&#8217;re installed on Raspberry Pis. They&#8217;re installed on FPGAs such as the MISTer, and others. They&#8217;re installed on all sorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I was a fan of the Big Box Amiga back in the day. I either owned or regularly used an Amiga 1000, 2000, 2500 and 3000. Yes I played a few games, but mostly I wrote software. Serious software. <em>Proper<\/em> software (that&#8217;ll probably raise a few eyebrows!). Now I don&#8217;t have a big box Amiga, but I do have several of the home\/wedge machines in various states of working or otherwise. But I have very little space to keep them set up in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when time came to replace my old MacBook <em>nothing<\/em> (with the horrible butterfly keyboard that sucks the life out of anyone trying to type on it) with a shiny new M2 MacBook Air (&#8220;entry level MacBook outperforms Intel i9 MacBook in many tasks &#8211; Shock!&#8221;), it only seemed natural to bung an Amiga emulator on it. After all a \u00a31500 (plus extras) computer emulating a \u00a3300 one&#8230; This is What We Do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometime I&#8217;ll install a Mac emulator on the Amiga emulator. Then the circle will be complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apple Silicon Mac Emulates Amiga: the M2 MacBook Airmiga\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0kL0n55H1Vs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AKA emulating an Amiga on the latest Apple Silicon MacBook Everybody and his dog has been installing Amiga emulators.
