Configuring WinUAE is driving me nuts.

Mr B · 30 March 2011, 15:14

What softwares (if any) is WinUAE known not to like sharing a screen with? I cant for the life of me figure it out, but for some reason from time to time WinUAE just isn't able to put anything on the screen. It looks like everything is working, it's just not getting any image, showing a black window. This is using a "working" config, trying to set up a test-bed where i could figure out what i need, what i'm doing wrong, and so on, and prepare a 20GB drive with WHDload, new filesystem, and so on, for transplantation into my A1200. For now i figured out that a reboot "always" makes the problem go away.
But i cant reboot every-time i want to restart WinUAE.

Change the 'Graphics API' to 'DirectDraw' on the miscellaneous panel. See if that helps.

Done, i'll see what happens over the next few hours. Now that i'm done (hopefully) with partitioning and formating i should have to reboot the "Amiga" less.
