There is a third one, which I can't remember the name of, but it is the
worst of them so don't bother.

The bottom line is that these emulators emulate 680x0 processors and are
therefore quite useless at emulating a lot of current mac software which
is power PC only. I tried out executor and must say that the only
"useful" thing that I could do with it was to play Jewelbox.
