I was compiling mess, when i've seen an amiga.c files. It doesn't work yes, but i was aware of the fact.

Does someone has got more info about that?

Also i don't understand why, since uae-winuae is gpl.

I believe MESS had Amiga emulation years ago. I can't remember much, but I think it was taken out with the emerge of UAE?

Edit:
ok...maybe it wasn't taken out....I remember there was a system taken out...which that was I will never know

from 0.62 to 0.65 it has been modified...

I remember Amiga emulation in it too..

Why does it have it? MESS's purpose is to have all systems in it. And WinUAE is just for PCs, MESS is for shitloads of other systems.

I suppose uae source can be compiled moreless everywhere ( not the one for windows, unfortunatly ). But it has different features depending from the platform ( for example, the one for linux is not as good as ( quite far from ) the one for windows ).

Anyway, in mess 0.62 it still doesn't work and it's called a TESTDRIVER ( to compile it, i changed TESTDRIVER to DRIVER, but the message was unable to start emulation ).

But modifying uae to satisfy mess-mame standards ( e.g. graphics output ) for me could have been a better option than rewriting it from scratch ( in the mess page, they write: our primary purpose is compatibility, not speed - i've read it somewhere... )

But it's better to wait than to write...
