When one computer is being emulated in order to emulate another computer, we have machine in machine or hyper Emulation. Sometime this is needed for machines which don't have huge software base or a specific Emulator just doesn't exist for anything other than a particular system.
In my case I needed good emulator for Apple II, but didn't found anything as good as ApplePC for MS-DOS on AmigaOS 4. So hyperemulation was needed:
The Apple II is pretty easy to emulate machine, so the slowdown of emulating 6502 processor on x86 processor on PowerPC processor was not noticeable. Everything worked fine and the AmigaOne has proven to be very useful machine for retro tweaking and nostalgia trips.
