WinUAE wizard...

do you think that WinUAE should come with a Wizard...
(this has been tossed around between beta testers for the last few days)

i thought that non-beta testers would like a chance to air their views...

^see the below picture that Akira has upload^

A simple wizard yes..

WinUAE is too complicated to run from a wizard properly, useful for beginners.

Maybe it should come with some basic preset configs, and the wizard just points the configs to the rom paths and HD paths etc.

Hmm...

I thought that the information given to beta testers, or the discussions between them, were 'for their eyes only'. Dunno if this is correct, then again, I'm not really sure about how a beta testing circle works.

hmmm, i not sure too, but it doesn't really involve the in's and out's of beta testing... it's not releasing info to the public as it was an idea started by a beta tester rather than Toni..

i think newbie's should be given the chance to decide...

... but please remove if i have done something wrong

I think it definitely WOULD help, there are always bound to be a few questions that the average newbie will feel compelled to ask, but this would lessen them greatly imo.

Yes, that would be more akin to the emulation "scene"

I think this is a GREAT idea. I had trouble using WinUAE at first and this would have made my first steps into emu a lot easier.

Maybe But only if WinFellow EVER get´s AGA Support

No to be honest, give up Emulators and use REAL AMIGAS

Fellow's interface was always better than WinUAE. But it's dead
