Why not have a win partition exclusive for winuae, and other linux part. for daily usage?.
Because that means buying Windows and having a 3GB partition purely for WinUAE not to mention having to reboot into the other OS every time I want to use it. A little extreme, heh. Linux has its own APIs, they aren't nonexistant, heh. I agree though with it being heavily DX based will make it hard to port.

E-UAE doesn't work for me at all, the moment I "unpause" it it just freezes (the main Amiga window appears, but just black) and the program stops responding. This is true for both my x86 laptop and AMD64 main PC using the latest version of e-UAE.
