I have looked into AmigaOS and MacOS emulation. It could be done but only in
the ShapeShifter way... The AmigaOS would be tricky however since it relies
so much on the hardware of the Amiga...

Some stuff in Fenix will do it easier though.

To summarize:

Emulation can be done using patched rom/dumps or special memory protection.
The main problem is hardware dependenses..
