- The emulation was OK - it was certainly very fast (even on a stock
- 68000-based A500).

- However, although BASIC, the 6502 and certain ROM breakpoints were
- emulated, The Emulator did *not* emulate any of the Beeb's hardware (and
- that unfortunately includes the screen memory area), so games will not
- work (unless they're written in BASIC or use the MOS for all I/O).

- P.S. If you really need decent Beeb emulation, have a look at some of
- the PC-based ones (especially the Linux/X ones). It's unfortunate that
- none of these have made it on to the Amiga (yet).
