Any news on Winfellow?

Paul · 24 September 2001, 12:23

Does anyone know any news about winfellow?

Fred the Fop · 24 September 2001, 20:09

Winfellow, a superb emualtor that is unpolished and still cannot do AGA chipset emulation. But often, it is much more compatable and faster than WinUAE. I wait for news as well. Good thread, Paul.

RetroMan · 24 September 2001, 20:41

Hmmm, this thread would be kewler, if there IS something new

anyway, since I got some exotic hardware here (well I don´t think it is, but WinFellow and some other programs seem to think that way

) I hope there will be out a new Version soon

P-J · 24 September 2001, 22:07

Torsten and the rest of the guys are currently hard working in their 'real jobs' and don't find much time to work on it. Although I've been assured there may be a beta released soon

Fred the Fop · 24 September 2001, 23:53

Interesting, PJ.
S4murai, you mean that your video card has some problem, or your screen? I don't know, but I remember you having this problem on the AEN board a while ago. I will send you my WinFellow A 500 setup in the ADF Zone if you like. It is windowed and all.

Sorry to reopen an old thread, but has anyone seen/heard of anything further about WinFellow??

Fred the Fop · 09 October 2001, 16:03

Don't ever be sorry to open an old thread...many times a thread is forgotten and is revived with very pleasant results! Anyway, this thread is the kind that needs updating, 7!

7-Zark-7 · 15 October 2001, 06:39

Just a quick question guys-anyone heard anything about a latest version of WinFellow-any new features, betas anything??

Yep, we all are quite busy lately with other things so that there hasn't been done much on WinFellow. I'm afraid that this will continue for some time (atleast for me, since I'm currently doing a project in Frankfurt and don't have access to machines there I can properly develop on).

Drake1009 · 15 October 2001, 13:50

Well at least news of no news is better than no news at all. At least that shows that the project isn't dead.

It's so darn annoying when you have some software you'd like to see a new release from, but they never seem to update the news or site at all until long after you've stopped checking the site regularly because you don't expect things to happen. Then you stumble into the site again some day only to find that the project is now officially dead

Would it be a good idea to join this thread with the one I started some time ago at. http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1516

We don't need it twice.

Anyway I just visited the winfellow website and noticed that only The Netherlands mirror works. I hope they do carry on with the development.

Drake1009 · 15 October 2001, 15:58

I also hope they carry on the development. Winfellow has been the only Amiga emulator which has worked good for me. The new WinUAE has managed to fix a lot of problems I've been having which had made it practically annoying to use, but still it's not too good. Winfellow on the other hand has worked for me since the second version I downloaded.

RetroMan · 15 October 2001, 17:52

Well, I´m pretty sure they keep up the development of the Emu only not so fast as it would be wished by some people

But most of the Emulator guys got a real life outside and I think a real job is more important to take care of (as is a familly) as a freeware product ...... anyway, they will continue, I´m pretty sure

7-Zark-7 · 16 October 2001, 04:27

Whilst I admit I do use WinUAE,(albeit an old one in 08.8r8), from what I've used with WinFellow, it seems to run fast even with older PC's like mine. It just seems to concentrate on the basics which is what I think most users would want.

As Retroman stated, WinFellow,like WinUAE are free products so we can't complain,(& without the adware hassles of some of the so-called "free" products out there.). It's be great if they won lotto-they'd might have more free time then to do what they like!!

Sorry 4 "stealing" your thread Paul-I couldn't find it again & thought it'd been deleted!

Paul · 27 October 2001, 12:49

I have just e-mailed them though their web site and asked them to reply to this thread.

Lets see what happens

Drake1009 · 27 October 2001, 13:24

I primarily use Winfellow when emulating and only turn to use WinUAE when the game I try to play doesn't work with Winfellow.

Worfje · 28 October 2001, 16:46

As you can see, i received your email Paul

Alas, there isn't much news to report in regard to a new version. The only news is that a new release isn't planned. As RetroMan and 7-Zark-7 already have mentioned, real life and job have taken over lately. The project isn't dead, but it is stalled bigtime.

You betja!

I hope to do some work on the website, since it needs an update. If there is news to report about a new release, i will post it at this board.

This is a great board! Keep up to good work!

P.S.: Paul, I'll try to get the American mirror back online this evening and thanks for emailing me.

Paul · 28 October 2001, 17:22

Welcome to EAB Worfje.

Thanks for the news post.

Worfje · 28 October 2001, 18:09

It was my pleasure. Currently i'm reading some old threads to see if there are still some issues i can reply to. It's nice to see such an active board with usable information about troubles with WinFellow.

I'll keep you all informed.

Drake1009 · 28 October 2001, 18:12

Threats? I didn't see any threats.

I think my biggest problem with Winfellow would either be a game failing to load or the sprites being gone.
