Does Hatari run games well ? It might make a suitable way to run games that aren't so clean on the Milan and aranym.

Funnily enough you will probably need a port of those ST emulators that run on Amiga. Compatibility is terrible but the codebase should be much simpler in order to follow and make use of any common features of Milan (or any clone) and the ST and improve on it.

The MIlan is exactly the same case. That's why the ST emulator to run the ST games and demos is needed.
Unfortunately, the real 68040 and, I'm afraid, 68060 too, is too slow to run any pure software ST CPU+hardware emulator at usable speed.

If the CPU emulation was left out and the 68060 left to it's do it's own thing it would be a lot quicker. OK, not every ST specific app would work but a lot would.

You could run a large number of the Falcon/HD-fixed games with such an emulator. And also software that writes directly to screen, like DEGAS and ProText.

Ironically, having an emulator which runs modern (read: not using the chipset that much) Amiga software is much easier than an emulator running old ST games.
