WinUAE HDF files for LinuxUAE

Zetr0 · 25 July 2005, 00:43

heys there peeps, having a lil issue in trying to get

my working WinUAE HDF file (miggy workbench'n'stuf\) to run on linux UAE

it just doesn`t want to string up the HDF properly.... infact anything i try to mount wont come up at all... any ideas as to what i am doing wrong?

My first thought is a file permission problem but I'll give it a go some time today - at the least you've given me a good excuse to install E-UAE

. Also could you please provide a few more details so I can more accurately try and reproduce the problem i.e. UAE version, binary or built yourself, standard WinUAE hardfile or RDB... that sort of stuff.

Update: Well I've tried E-UAE 0.8.27-x86 (the binary from rcdrummond) with the Workbench hardfile that I created for WinUAE and it works just fine. You aren't trying to do something silly like add the hardfile via the GUI? Have you added a line similar to this:

Code:

hardfile2=rw,DH0:/home/oddbod/e-uae-0.8.27-x86-glibc23/Workbench.hdf,32,1,2,512,0,

to your .uaerc file?

This may sound rude but it sounds like you need to read the documentation as the E-UAE GUI is not finished and is quite different to WinUAE despite looking very similar.

lol, dont worry about sounding rude lol,

okay after 4am this morning and 3 complete rebuilds later i am glad to say that i have e-uae0827 running ( i am blaming fedora as its a pain in the proverbial ).

I am still to try and set the hdf up in th config of the new build so i will try that in a smidge and post ya how i got on...

tnx for your help.

@Oddbod: I think that's the wrong line.
The path spec must be last.

That would be the older hardfile (not hardfile2 which additionally allows you to specify a handler) directive, the line I posted above is derived straight from the documentation included with the current 0.8.27 binary. They should both work but I have actually tried the line above, it's clipped straight from my working .uaerc file.
