Which Emulator (or how to use an existant one) to run on a Pen Drive?

Hi to all in the AMIGA scene

I have a project going on to create a portable "playstation" which includes the C= AMIGA of course. Up to now, I managed to get ZXSpectrum and Arcade machines inside without installing anything on whatever computer I will be using at the time.

And that is my question: of the current C= Amiga emulators, which one if any can I use on a pen drive to run? Prerequisites: NO files installed on running cpu at all. Target OS: WIN based systems.

Thanks in advance for any answers. Even negative ones.

Cheers
Luis

WinUAE should work if you enable "portable" mode. Create empty file called winuae.ini in same directory as winuae.exe or use /portable command line parameter.

Question



Kiitos että Toni.

Do I install WUAE 2.4.1 first on the desktop, enable portable mode and copy to the pen or do I just install on the pen from the start?

Copy WinUAE over and create the empty WinUAE.ini or start with /portable on the pendrive

Edit: Doesn't matter which 'version' (installer or zip) you use.

I'd personally just create the empty WinUAE.ini.

/portable = creates winuae.ini (if it does not exist).

It is easier to create empty winuae.ini, no need for extra command line parameters.

EDIT: few seconds too late!
