Hello There,
A point of view from a *real machine user and more and more emulator*
user.

We have now reached the level where original disks are modified to run
on an emulator. I think that is total nonsense, that should be the
other way round. I have in mind plenty of fast loader cracking disks
which all use some tricks to load well and fast.

Over the years, I have encountered some weird behaviour of some apps
either running well on emulators or on the real machines. See the
recent discussion above about the rainbow display.

I know, emulator programmers are doing a great job but are we going in
the right direction? I mean nowadays, why do emulators do not emulate
at a 100% accuracy rate, our beloved machines? Is that due to the way
the emulators were coded or a lack of knowledge of the real machines?
Or is that due to a lack of power of our modern machines? I do not
have the answer.
