Switching chipsets on FS-UAE
I tried to use the pre-loaded configuration "Transplant" on FS-UAE, as I remembered playing the original "Transplant" on a real Amiga 500 way back in the early 1990s. But the emulated Amiga wouldn't even boot.
So I downloaded an ADF containing "Transplant" and installed it on my emulated Amiga 4000's hard drive, and started FS-UAE to use the Amiga 4000 instead. It booted all OK, but when I started "Transplant", the graphics were all messed up. I'm fairly sure this is because "Transplant" itself is incompatible with the AGA chipset. But I couldn't find any option in FS-UAE to use the OCS or ECS chipset instead. Is there one, or do I have to change the whole model of the emulated Amiga? |

Are you OAGD.net user? If you create account and log in using FS-UAE launcher, you only need to scan your Amiga roms, floppies, whdload games etc. FS-UAE Launcher creates automatically correct and working configurations for all games which are in OAGD.net.
Transplant seems to be on there and seems to work without issues. Edit. If you want to do it manually, here is settings Launcher shows for me: Amiga model: Amiga 500, Accurate emulation Kickstart: Default (KS 1.3) Chip mem: Default (512KB) Slow mem: Default (512 KB) Fast mem: Default (0 KB) When you set those settings on laucher, emulation uses automatically correct chipset for Amiga 500. If you want to run it from hard disk, I would recommend whdload version. Second edit: If you want to manually change chipset, there is Custom option uae_chipset. Take a look at http://fs-uae.net/options |

With the WHDLoad slave, "Transplant" works like a charm on the emulated A4000. Whoever originally made WHDLoad is a genius.
"Transplant" comes with a program called "killaga", which can apparently used for temporarily disabling the AGA chipset for one process. I might find uses for it later on, for example for playing my own old AMOS games. (AMOS is notably incompatible with the AGA chipset.) But I do still have a further question. By default, FS-UAE maps the primary joystick to the cursor keys. This makes the actual cursor keys under Amiga emulation unusable. E-UAE maps them to the numeric keypad, which is far better in my opinion. Is there a way in FS-UAE to configure the keys? |

It also works fine on A4000 if you boot from the Transplant floppies (I guess because it does not run SetPatch to enable AGA features).
You can copy share/input/generic/keyboard.ini to Documents/FS-UAE/Controllers/, open it for editing and change the [amiga] section to your liking (They key names are based on the SDL key names - see http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1....ml/sdlkey.html and you'll probably figure it out). |
