Installing E-UAE on Kubuntu

[boing_1000]

I just installed Kubuntu and I want to get my Amiga emulation going on my laptop again. Anyone have experience with UAE and Linux?

Last time I tried, UAE just consisted of one file: the main executable. So "installation" is quite simple: just copy the executable to a place you like, then get the required .rom and .adf files and create a configuration (with a text editor, the gui does not offer all options, if there is a gui at all). Run UAE with uae -f configfile.

If I wanted a simple A1000 or A500 config, what would I put in?

Adjust this one where needed ( rom, put kickstart, and gfx width/height if you are not satisfied ). Save it ( eg ~/.uaerc ), then use uae -f ~/.uaerc in order to use it ( iirc should be loaded automatically at startup if you use ~/.uaerc )

Btw, i'm not sure: you have already the binary or only the source code?

E-uae infact has a GUI for most of the important stuff. Setting up a standard A500 config should be straightforward. Currently there are no kubuntu/debian packages available but compiling is not too difficult. Just check it out and ask if you have problems.
