Can an amiga program close WinUAE?

xxxxx · 03 August 2014, 23:24

Is there a way for an Amiga program to close WinUAE down? i.e. are there either
1. CLI commands that WinUAE somehow recognize and that causes a shutdown
2. A way to configure WinUAE so that if it hits a reset opcode, the emulator exits
3. Any other way

I'm looking for this for a couple of things:
1. Automatically capturing Amiga demos, and detecting when they end
2. Running Amiga command line tools as part of automated cross-development pipeline on Windows

I haven't been able to find something like this so far.

Cheers

Hi, (for 1.) you can for example install a program uae-configuration (included in the WinUAE zip file) and run this:

Code:

uae-configuration SPC_QUIT 1

2) can be done using input panel, it has "internal events" input device. I think adding custom event "evt spc_quit 1" to cpu reset input source should do what you want.

Great suggestions, both of you. Thank you for the quick responses
