Emulated Amiga setups AKIRA FREE ZONE!

Bloodwych · 19 January 2004, 22:56

OUT AKIRA, this is lameulation talk boyo! Go and do something useful. Like read a book. Wash your car. Tell someone to read the FAQs. Finish Monkey Island 2!

If you do emulate, I'm just wondering what configs most of EAB peeps are running around these here parts.

Below is my setup, along with all my HDF files. The "system" hdfs are exclusive to their corresponding config, containing different versions of the ClassicWB.

The "storage" hdfs get shared by multiple configs and contain software designed for a particular chipset. For instance, the so called A4000 (although it isn't really) setups have all the storage hdfs mounted in workbench as these are the workhorse configs. The lower machines however (A1200, A600) only have the corresponding storage HDF mounted and are JIT free for max compatibility ie used for running games.

How do you emulate yours?

I have tested out HDF configs much, mostly just basic ECS config with 512K Slow + 512K Slow-Fast and KS1.3/1.2 config. Then I booted off of the floppy ADF.

Mostly just looking at older DEMO's and such

However, since this is a *lamulation* thread I can't speak of my REAL Amiga's and there configs

I usally don't stray that far from the AIAB setup anymore.. when my HD went bye bye I didnt have the energy left to redo all the stuff so in with AIAB.
mount my FTP as an amiga HD (WHDLoad, WB Installs, programs, unsorted, caps)
The linux setup is pretty much the same, but less AIAB and more problems.

The second setup is a500 for caps with interlaced output for TVs

The third is CD32 with some minor tweaks for TV output.

My usual config...

CPU - 68040 (JIT 4MB, const jump, fpu support)
Chip mem = 8 MB
Z3-Fast = 16MB
RTG = 8MB
Display = 1024 x 768 x 32 @ 85Hz Full screen RTG
Chip Set = AGA, Full Sprites, Cycle exact Blitter etc...

Drives : PC DVD Drive, PC Hard Drive, PC Ramdisk, Amiga HDF, Amiga RamDisk, 4x Amiga Floppy

Workbench 3.5.

Running on...

AMD XP 2200+, 1 GB PC3200 DDR

Which results in this...

It runs damn fast as well!

So I always wanted to know Akira, how do *you* categorize users/luzers like me that have the real thing and also use WinUAE as well

Dual Personality disorder?

There is nothing wrong with using both as far as I am concerned, but if you have the real thing and it is setup then thats what I use.

Bloodwych · 24 January 2004, 01:14

I use both.

andyr, nice little setup.

Akira, you just HAD to post didn't you?

Finished monkey2 yet? No? Then get to it!

I basically set it up because I wanted to see how Amiga programs and devices that I couldn't afford way back when actually ran.

It's blossomed into a workbench that uses RTG graphics, surfs the internet and plays mp3's. I've also had chance to play with software like Xi-Paint, Diamond Box (V.Good), MakeCD, Wordworth 7 etc...

Wordworth 7 is very impressive (and looks great) while MakeCD looks very capable.

Voyager runs well enough (I have an adsl connection) but falls down on quite a few sites...hasn't been updated in ages though so any suggestions for something more up-2-date?

Load's of Amiga tweaks in the mix as well plus the latest versions of faster, alternative libs and stuff from Aminet makes for a slick and surprisingly stable Amiga experience - even using JIT. I was using it the other day for a couple of hours without any problems.

I don't understand the elitist attitude of some people though. When running under emulation, my system feels like an Amiga, behaves like an Amiga, acts like an Amiga and looks like an Amiga.

For all intents and purposes, when emulating, it is an Amiga - just running on different hardware.

I've split this thread. The great battle of our time continues here:

Good job Cody, thanks for the split, I've sent another volley over the walls of Jericho in an attempt to fuel the flames of war

Alright, let's make that thread our fighting arena from now on.
