Amigans! REAL HARDWARE or EMULATION? - Page 2

Lorfarius · 21 April 2018, 16:09

I use a mix of both to do the AMIGArama podcast. Always wanted to play it on original hardware to see how it was back in the day but then I always use FSUAE for recording footage and testing how much better the games will run with supped up settings.

Real hardware, though I do use emulation too purely for convenience.

Seiya · 21 April 2018, 17:30

Emulation only.

Same here. Real HW for Amiga, MS-DOS, Apple IIc, Apple LCIII, PPC MacMini's, others. It's just fun with real HW.

Real hardware (A600+Vampire 2 and A4000+csppc&cvppc)
Also some emulation (Winuae) to setup new CF cards mostly.

in my http://mancave-ramblings.blogspot.ca/ I don't like to pretend with my miggies

:

1000-010, 1200-030, 1200T-060, 4000-CS-MKIII060, A1-X1000-PPC

Emulation, real hardware is too slow and expensive...

Sinphaltimus · 21 April 2018, 21:39

Real and Emulated - also for more than Amiga, as well. For me, all aspects have their uses but for Amiga, I've been real hardware more lately than emulation.

NorthWay · 21 April 2018, 21:46

Mostly real hw, but I'm still waiting for some _proper_ enhanced FPGA solutions at which point I'll still be using real hw, just not C= made ones.

kgc210 · 21 April 2018, 22:12

95%+ Real HW.
I just use emulation for setting an Amiga up as quicker for file transfer etc.

Main system is an A4000 with an 060@80mhz and VooDoo 3.
Although I have a large collection of other Amiga's.

Why do you ask? Are you planning on releasing something?

Marlon_ · 21 April 2018, 22:28

Both

toples50 · 21 April 2018, 22:29

Only real hardware.One of my 11 Amigas every time!

Paul_s · 21 April 2018, 22:57

Real hardware although I sold all 12 of my systems off some time ago.

I rarely get time to play with Amiga stuff now (even via emulation) due to other interests, but I still find reading and visiting EAB something to remind me of the good times

If I did buy any Amiga hardware in future a simple A500 with 1MB of ram, external floppy and a 1084 monitor will do me just fine

malko · 21 April 2018, 23:12

1987/1988 until 2000/2001 : real hardware only (quick tested various version of available emulators but never used them).
2001-2016 : almost nothing (only testing various version of available emulators but never used them).
2016 : Amikit
2017-today : Amilator (FS-UAE) & WinUAE
tomorrow : why not plug-in back the real beast

PortuguesePilot · 22 April 2018, 00:29

Both. Real A500 (x3), real A600 (x1) and real A1200 (x2) but also WinUAE configured on 5 desktop PCs, 2 laptop PCs, 1 eMac, 1 PS2, 1 PSP and 1 Android smartphone.

Real hardware.

alpine9000 · 22 April 2018, 05:13

Which bucket does a vampire fall in? Is it “real” hardware? Is it emulation?

Not that I have one yet...

Tigerskunk · 22 April 2018, 06:22

Both?
Usually emulation when coding something, and then testing out on real hardware here and then..

o-leif · 22 April 2018, 10:22

Real hw; a4000/040 and 2x cd32s with the terrible fire expansion and my c64.

Leffmann · 22 April 2018, 10:33

Almost always emulation. Occasionally I pull out my A1200/030 to check something.
