It seems someone else showed that last year: https://www.journaldulapin.com/2022/11/21/wii-mac-linux/ (in French, but well worth a read; Google translate might help).
Also, the MOL website is a thing of beauty. I never thought I’d be nostalgic for early 2000s websites.

This is really cool - I didn't know about it!
I remember having a similar thing for the ATARI ST back in the day and that was amazing. Something like this -> https://www.journaldulapin.com/2014/10/07/atari-spectre-gcr-and-macint…
I had the first version called the Magic Sac.

This is like the Hackintosh of the eighties. Both the Atari ST and Amiga were both 68000 systems.

That's a different co-ordinate. It's the point on the ocean surface that is farthest from any land. Found a MacOS System 7 pic. Seems to be at 56 S, 2 W.

Yes, but GPUs should only be consider for acceleration when there is insufficient local CPU power to accomplish something valuable. Otherwise, it's like buying a Ferrari to get groceries.
