Amiga emulation - especially CD32 emulation - is well what can I say "worse than on any other platform." The Amiga was a very versatile and well-known computer in its time with a lot of multimedia capabilities that you'll find on todays computers too. The OSX has sort of been left out in the cold when it comes to an easy to use emulator. If you want a quick and solid emulation experience you might opt to install Windows on your Mac and use the Windows emulators on that platform. But today I go back to OSX based Amiga emulation and I have discovered that there might be some more Amiga emulators out there for Mac OSX than I initially thought. Let's take a look at them:

Tech News World is running the 2nd in a 2-part series on the Mac Gaming Renaissance, which explores some exciting new developments for those with Macs.

Two great games are coming to Apple Macintosh and will run on OSX natively. The games are Gears of War and UT3.

Hardball on the Apple IIgsBill Martens, who runs the superb "Virtual Apple 2 - Online disk archive" has informed me that the site now supports Firefox. Previously the Website only supported Internet Explorer. For those not familiar with the Website, it allows you to play Apple II and IIgs games directly in your browser. No fuss, no muss, and it's fairly configurable to boot. As a bonus, the site also gives you access to the ROM images for use in another emulator or for transfer to your real Apple system. While my preferred way is to of course play these games on the real hardware, nothing beats the immediacy of a well functioning browser-based emulator that already has the ROMs, as it's invaluable for quick reference and screenshot captures.

I've revisited quite a few of the emulators I discussed earlier in my Retrogaming and Beyond on Mac OS X - article on various intel macintoshes ranging from a +- 1.4Ghz Intel machine with Ati 3D accelerated graphics to a +- 2.8Ghz Intel machine with Ati 3D accelerated graphics. Just to see if those new Mac's are up to the challenge (two Powerbooks, a macmini core solo and mini core duo, an acertosh and asustosh)
