- That depends on what software you are running. A64 won't be terribly
- good for something that is graphics and sound intensive (like games,
- demos, SIDplayers) but utilities work very well. When you become a
- validated user (A64 is shareware) you will receive an interface that
- allows you to use C=64 serial cable peripherals with the Amiga (which is
- necessary for using any programs that have disk based copy protection).
-
- If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll answer all that I
- can. What I can say is that A64 is the best C=64 emulator available for
- the Amiga (and, I suppose, for any computer, seeing as no other computer
- has one). :)
