Wouldn't it make more sense to add support for this machine family to QEMU? 68k cpu emulation is already included in QEMU, all it needs is general support for the platform itself.


Systems like the ST and Amiga used custom HW chip sets for things like graphics and sound. It is not just about emulating the CPU.


Yes. More importantly, for game and demo compatibility you need to tie HW chip emulation on cycle level with the CPU. QEMU would get more on the way than help.


Hatari predates QEMU. It started in 2001.
