New Board for Mac Amiga emulation
Hi All
Not being able to find a forum where E-UAE & the Amiga Emulation Bundle could be discussed I have setup a List at:- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MACUAE This list is for the Mac. It is new so please bear with me and the list, and hopefully word will sneak out and things will get going. Thanks for your time.. Last edited by Washac; 02 February 2005 at 09:29.

Why does the Mac version of UAE suck so bad compared to WinUAE? I am trying to evaluated Aladdin 4D and it took me 2-3 hours to get everything setup right on a iBook. I could have just used my desktop XP machine but then I would not be able to use UAE from the comfort of my nice Queen size foam bed.

I am solving this issue by saving up for a Mac Book. That way I can use Parallels or Boot Camp to use the vastly superior WinUAE.

in October the new OS will be out and possibly by then the macbook will have been updated more consistently than in the last upgrade. i also want to see the new Imac before to decide.

afaik, there is only the PPC build - which i'm using on an Intel MacBook and has been working fine.
you will need the hi-toro GUI too probably: http://www.pimley.net/projects_hi-toro.html i disagree that WinUAE is "far superior" - it's just the functionality of the GUI and the lack of a x86 e-uae build (any volenteers?) that lets it down. re: running parallels on MacBook - i tried with with winuae-kaillera build and you get a different FPS every time you run it... not to mention some choppy sound. I'm also buggered if i can get the F12 key working, despite making sure leopard isnt grabbing it and stopping me using it.... very odd considering F3 for search seems to work. Oh and help/del keys and the numpad are also unreachable... but this is true on e-uae too! Normal WinUAE i think ran ok, but no better than e-uae, with the exception of the functionality. Not really worth it considering i couldnt hit F12. Last edited by Hungry Horace; 05 January 2008 at 15:43. |

PPC version runs far too slow on intel based machines.
I am surprised nobody was interested in building a MAC OS X version. I only get a proper ntsc and pal vertical synchro on my TV from MAC OS X. |

Someone on Amiga.org made an experimental x86 build that had JIT. I don't think that it's that difficult to do. IIRC the only reason there isn't an Intel build available directly from EvilRich is because he simply doesn't own an Intel Mac.

I must be missing something here, what's wrong with using Jens Weichert's E-UAE Universal Binaries?

Thanks OddOd!
Great news to see someone actually did an Universal version. But I still can t make it emulate a simple A500 at nomal speed so I must do something wrong. Do you know how to get the best of it on Intel machines ? I used Hi Toro for the configuration, maybe there is an Intel flag for optimization. |

Did you enable OpenGL rendering? This seems to make quite a significant difference.
I just tried it again on my brother's Hackintosh (10.4.9 running on an AMD64 3700+) and the performance was fine, hopefully you aren't experiencing the same mysterious slow-down as the guy in this thread because so far nobody seems to have figured out why it happens. |
