E-UAE Emulation best method.

Paradroid90 · 10 February 2009, 00:13

Hi guys,

Had a change of heart and sold all my amiga kit on flea bay. Going to build a uber Linux box with Ubuntu installed. Just curious was Amiga emulation is the best,most stable and easiest to set up.

Is it AROS with E-UAE running on top.

Is it E-UAE running in ubuntu

Or is possible dual boot into x-amiga and how easy is this to configure??

Want to still to use WHD, Amiga Sys 4 and Install Octamed and HD demos with some Personal Paint.

Whats the way to go guys???????

Im all ears!!!!!!!

Hi Paradroid,

In the first part of your post, it sounds like you've already made your choice.

But, seriously, of the three options you are considering, E-UAE on X-Amiga would be my choice.

There is no need for a fully-fledged Linux installation in order to run an Amiga emulator, and X-Amiga is a mini-Linux distribution with exactly that in mind. The X-Amiga website ( http://www.xamiga.net/ ) has all the downloads and guidance you will need.

Plus, E-UAE ( http://www.rcdrummond.net/uae/index.html ) is always available in the latest version compiled for Linux/x86, whereas the AROS version lags behind somewhat.

I'm not an expert, but it seems like a clear choice to me.

But can you still dual boot with Ubuntu 8.10???

Thanks for your help so far.

Hi Paradroid,

Of course you can dual boot Ubuntu 8.10 and X-Amiga. It's just a question of how you wish to go about it.

Hi Paradroid90,

Replace XP with X-Amiga and you should be able to do it

Hi Paradroid,

There is nothing wrong with the method suggested above by TheCyberDruid.

I personally use Partition Magic to switch the boot process between one active partition and another. In this way I can actually achieve quadruple-booting per hard disk.
