Amiga emu on mac?
Hi,
Whislt im far from new to the amiga scene owning an A500 in 91 and then a 1200 since 95 I am very new to emulation so I hope this is in the right place. I successfully got winuae working on my XP machine but now have moved over to a Mac. I have heard the emulation is not so good of a friend. Just wondering if anyone can clarify this. Im only after running protracker really. |

Surely you should switch to a native Mac tracker then?
http://milkytracker.org/?screenshots E-UAE for MacOS-X is unmaintained at the moment and so is many generations behind WinUAE A modern Mac is intel based and will support dual booting into Windows. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ |

But if ProTracker is all you're after you'd be mad not to switch to a native tracker.

@ Alex. thanks for the links.
Im not wanting a native tracker for my mac mate. If I were Id use renoise which I think is as good as a tracker can get really. I like protracker because it takes me back to a time when everything was simple. I can doodle away and if I like my doodle then load the file up in renoise and compress, and effect as much as I want. Guess I just work far better within limitations. I see pushing thoese limits as a challenge. DAWs etc these days are limitless. Not good in my view. @ TCD and Kriz - Between the two of you thats two votes for E-UAE. Whats the 'E' stand for? |

You could also try Wine to run WinUAE? I gather from the net that there is an OSX port of Wine.

You could always give Milky Tracker a go mate. Limited and old skool like.
E-UAE works just fine for gaming purposes. Even in a workbench environment it's ok. I've never missed WinUAE since I moved to a Mac 3 years ago. |
