    Mmm... Dead systems...

    Why not emulate another dead system on the emulated Amiga? ;-)

    If you are into Amiga music, you should check out UADE!! It supports more than 150 exotic formats, and is Open Source =)

    One dead platform emulates another. IIRC, the Dreamcast also runs BSD. A regular festival of electronic rigor mortis.

    I think we are all breathing a sigh of relief. Finally we have the Amiga 500 on the dreamcast. I was getting worried for a minute there.
