I was thinking for some time that a case like the Mac OS on the Amiga should have a name other than "emulator". As I said before, it's really more of an OS port than an emulator, though since it's not with the blessing of the owner of that OS code, some degree of emulation or trickery must exist to make that OS think it's on a Mac. The Mac being [A] very simple, hardware-wise, and [B] supported by a decent ROM Kernel that most applications use, makes me thing there's still more porting than emulating going on. In any case, the name I came up with was "Hostile Port".
