JAmiga - A frontend for WinUAE
JAmiga is a frontend for WinUAE which is based on the configuration files from WinUAE (no database needed).
It features screenshots, rating and a musicplayer. Look at 'JAmiga.txt' for further information. The current version is what I wanted it to be, but if you want other features or enhancements leave a comment in this thread. Also comments about the program are very welcome . You need the .Net Framework 2.0 which can be found here. Hope you like it Ideas for next release : Button for 'Setup configuration' similar to quickstart in WinUAE. (thanks to musashi5150 for this idea ) (delayed, but not forgotten ) Additional window for the WinUAE extra info files (thanks to kirk) Last edited by TCD; 12 July 2009 at 11:35. |

This should be integrated in WinUAE. Maybe you should put it forward as a suggestion as a future development of WinUAE...

Hi Ted,
Toni already stated that WinUAE is no game/demo/app frontend. It's an emulator for the Amiga. So my program is a addition for those people (like me ) that like to have a picture and music for the configs they made. Since Gamebase (which is a great project) requests the right version in the right format for a game, I think it's nice to have alternative for those people that set up their configs themself, but still want that bit extra stuff . Btw. : How do you like it? Last edited by TCD; 04 May 2008 at 08:10. |

Hi wobbly,
I'm running 32 bit here. Maybe I compiled it with a wrong (32 bit specific) setting. Will have a look at it this evening and will upload a new version if that was the problem. |

Hi TheCyberDruid,
I'm still using your frontend with success. My brain are thinking about ideas, but you made the program with the features I've been looking for. At the moment I have none. I will let you know the moment I have somthing. |

Hi AxelFoley,
that's good to hear . As I said it's also enough for me . I'm currently working on the x64 issue and the setup config thing. Guess it will take till the end of month to release version 1.1. |

You rebel! Develop something in .NET and then call it JAmiga!
(apps starting with a J are usually Java apps ) As for the 32 bits issue, a 64 bits OS should be able to run 32 bits apps no problem at all. It is when you compile the code for 64 bits systems that problems may arise. |

@gimbal
Yeah I know , but since my first name starts with 'J' we got this naming convention break-up. Done some stuff in Java and it's really nice. In my job I have to deal with a lot of Plugin/API stuff (for windows), so .Net is first choice. And besides; I first met Java and as I saw C# I thought : Man, just another M$ ripoff @All Made a executable that should be 64 Bit compatible. Can anybody test it for me? |

Hi wobbly,
I think I found the soultion. The fmodex.dll is only for x86 platforms. I've added the x64 version to the first thread. I don't know if works without modifications to the exe, but it's worth a try Last edited by TCD; 10 May 2008 at 12:09. |

Soory m8, but I will try to test it myself with a 64 bit OS.
Till then I guess it's only 32 bit |

Wow, it's been a while Yeah, I'm a lazy mofo, I know that
On request of kirk I've added the option to change the font and the colors of the list. Could look like this then : I will look at the extra info thing tomorrow, but guess that will take a bit more time P.S. : Use the context menu (right click) to change the settings. |

Hi Axel,
sorry that it has taken so long. I struggled with the 'setup configuration' feature for quite a while before I put it to a rest. It's almost done, but there's one thing I need to get sorted (besides the annoying x64 bug ). Next feature will be to support more columns, but that needs a partial rewrite of the code, so that might take a bit. |
