To be honest I am struggling with *decent* new games to add...

My list contains about 150 but most are mediocre... I don't want to just add in rubbish for the sake of it; that makes the collection seem poor.

There are still 15 - 20 x AmigaCD games I need to look at but these take quite some time to get running perfectly etc...

Some more than decent games to consider:

Oil Imperium
Railroad Tycoon
Civilization
Championship Manager

c) Willy in the Castle of Dreams

Attached is an archive that contains the fixed configuration files, just extract into C:\WinUAE\Configurations

Damien, your inbox is full so il have to message on here

Hiya Damien,

Iv tonight found time to unpack the files from the MEGA app on my phone to discover the files, although downloaded dont actually "exist" on my phone lol

oh well, im now currently downloading all the files again the proper way on my computer and iv found the update pack #6 is now missing/removed/not available

is this because of "today I remembered that I'd forgotten to centre "Damocles - Mercenary II" " that you posted?

i assume an updated link will be appearing soon

thanks again for all your hard work, much appreciated

steve

Exactly why, I updated the pack / re-uploaded

You have to fix things when discovered otherwise soon you'll be overwhelmed with changes and things get more complex.

Hi D,

I changed a few settings namely removing the scanlines and using D3D shaders with masks or no mask as my LCD has its own grid which I can see! I already had a 750 x 576 res so fullscreen was amazing.

I love the intros! Really brings back the old days feelings when we were kids with friends huddled around the miggy trying out the *cough*latest*cough* games after school!

Did a quick test and a few comments:

How do I reset the default CNTRL AMIGA AMIGA to CNTRL LEFTALT RIGHTALT combo? I can't find it in the UAE files. I remember before the registry key import WinUAE was soft resetting that way.

I need to adjust my KB settings because my arrow keys + home / del etc.. are in a weird config vs normal IBM type KB.

In fullscreen, my LCD is stretched to 16:9 (monitor is 1080p). If I switch back to "windowed", I get the correct aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4.

How do I force the correct aspect ratio in fullscreen so the left and right side has black bars? It annoys me that the characters are all fat after nearly 30 years! I tried the filter settings but all it does is try to fill the screen instead of setting 4:3 or 5:4 correctly.

Also, both Eye of the Beholder AGA 1 and 2 should be NTSC @ 60 Hz, not PAL. I checked it against the DOSBOX versions side by side to make sure the aspect ratio was correct, as well as sound playback rate. There are no extra pixels in those 2 versions. Will check the ECS version soon and more back to back testing against DOS based versions if I have.

Further comments to come after "testing"...

I don't think you can unless maybe through the "Input" section of WinUAE.

This is a question for Toni really, although you could try the other key combination listed here to reset the Amiga i.e. <LEFT CTRL> + <INSERT> + <HOME>.

You have to play around with your video card settings

Sinphaltimus and ransom1122 had the same issue...

I'll make a post below about what they did and then also put a section in the 2nd post of this thread.

Hmmm, if memory serves me correctly CFOU! did these ports.

Surprised that NTSC would be required but...

What to do if games are stretched when in Fullscreen mode:

a) Watch Sinphaltimus's YouTube videos to see the issue (1st video) and how he fixed this (2nd video):

b) Follow what ransom1122 had to do:

I fixed 4:3 as best as I can by leaving the default scaling option to display set to aspect ratio, and clicking the 4:3 button on my REMOTE in full screen!

It is the closest thing to windowed 4:3 on my 1080p display now so thanks Damien!

Lastly, using D3D CRT GEOM LO RES shader and CRT MASK APERTURE in filter settings looks almost arcade like for those who want to try it.
