(The pestering, or the emulating, can't say yet.)

I for one don't care if it will be perfect or not and I know there are others who don't.
BRING IT ON!!!
To be fair, the PCEngine was much more popular in Japan than in the US. I haven't been able to find a source saying how many were sold, but apparently it's more than the Sega Megadrive and less than the SNES.scoobydew posted on Oct 10 2005 at 08:00 PM said:Hi Belgarath at non taken. I stand corrected. Your right the Amiga was more popular.
Amiga

About 5 million.
TG16

Less than 1 million units are shipped in its lifetime.
Yikes, DaveC! I think you should wait for Squidge's progress report... it's not that you state the pessimistic scenario that annoys me, it's that you use the word "likely" when in fact Squidge has hardly even been working on the project for very long, so there's no way that we can know what is LIKELY.DaveC posted on Oct 10 2005 at 09:05 PM said:I can see going farther with PC-Engine than Amiga for one reason. That is PC-engine could be done perfectly at FS0 WITH sound on the GP2X.
Amiga on the other hand will likely be slow, high frameskip, poor compatibility, and no sound for along while until the other core can be used. Games with no sound and high frameskip are not very enjoyable. So for that reason PC-Engine may be the better choice.

You may turn out to be right, but I think its too early to take a glass half empty view of the GP2X's future
I for one continue to be optimistic about a very playable Amiga emu until such time the system has been out there long enough for devs to rule it out.
Call me an optimist if you must
