On an old VAIO laptop, I only use 4.9.3 (non pae) as more recent versions lead to crashing the system unexpectedly on my side.
If you want to give a go, let me know, I should still have the archive somewhere. |

Found out that adding another 1GB stick to the machine made it work as expected (0.5GB was insufficient). Still it should be possible to put away let's say 64MB for Z-III RAM and 16MB for graphics on older computers with less than 2GB RAM.

It depends on which OS Amiga you have to Emulate, I for OS 4.1 and AfA-OS use higher performance configurations:

Have just tried with standard 3.1.4, none of the ueagfx/picasso resolutions are available with less host RAM than 2GB.

kick.a1200.46.143 (otherwise there will be no Z3-RAM on that same laptop just by adding more RAM to the host (laptop))..
It's purely a hardware issue (in combination with the emu environment or FS-UAE), I get all the features when I add more RAM (but it should be possible to get less Z3 + graphics emulated on a host with 1GB). |

Select FS-UAE configuration from the boot menu (syslinux / Amilator) ?
Could this be possible ? It's quite easy to edit the entries in the menu on the bootable Amilator USB-stick (by editing syslinux.cfg, just tested this by correcting "gb" to "GB" and adding some space)..
Is there any way to pass a variable to the host OS by a parameter set on the boot entry ? That's the first step.. The second step is to change the launcher of FS-UAE to use the variable for config file name.. This way we could emulate multiple machines from the same stick (using different system disks/folders for the selectable machines).. |

I got bit intrigued by this project, tried 3 different memory sticks, but non show 2 files that should show after using syslinux command.
Command shows to run, but no files usually means something is not right. |

Did not do any difference.. still no Z-III RAM or graphics card on a 1GB host system (got same messages, but also only a black screen, no AmigaOS booting up). Decreased Z-III RAM to 64MB, same result (messages + black screen) |

The included syslinux does not install any files.. just MBR and marks the partition as active.. So the error is in the guide (did this with two sticks, and both boot ok).

Simple: DIR /A:H shows file being there. I am still lost why this does not show on file explorer, but it was too late to check that. I will continue working on it tonight. LOL, reason I was looking for those files was your video, because I saw files being created by syslinux and latter reading about it, found that those 2 files are required for this to work. Thank you! SO far I got to boot to ClasssicWB P96 workbench (HDF), but no Fast or Zorro 3 memory and there were couple more warnings. Does Zorro 3 require special ROM or just KS 3.1 from A4K or A1200?? I should probably first get it to work again on FS-UAE on windows before attempting to work on Amilator. I was not able to check performance on one of my old laptops, but if this work, I might look into installing this on HD. Are there any good tutorials how to do that? Is there a way to select configuration or you have to use Loader to specify what config to start? Another Edit: Just for fun, I tried to install this on VMWare, preparing 20GB virtual hd, formating it as fat32, setting partition active and mbr with syslinux (had to use -f to force for non-usb drive), installed files (copy of my setup on that other laptop, with modified FS-UAE configuration - and no errors - it loads into P96 ClassicWB, but mouse is not responding and no sound. (even VM shows sound device active) Went out to debian, installed updates (some failed, probalby for security reason of running it on Fat32 partition), installed VMWare tools - but still no mouse or sound on vmware. Later tonight I will try it on couple of other old laptops. Still lost, why is looking for systems with more then 3 GB memory?! Last edited by Anubis; 30 January 2019 at 14:45. |

Attached screenshot of ClassicWB P96 running on Amilator onVMWare Workstations. I managed to fix mouse before I read your post by using the same value from your config. I did not try different ROM, just A1200 kickstart. Does Amiga 4000 3.1 kickstart makes any difference? I lowered zorro to 128MB and have it all installed on Harddisk. I see that OS is running form HDF file as well (Debian), so updates does not looks to make any difference, since at next reboot it goes back to original state. (So vmware tools don't seem to be installed, even I installed them) Thank you! |

Was a joke joking

The audio with Amilator on PC works, I did not try on VMWare, but as I said above I have a primitive version of VMWare. With VMWare What do you use to boot from USB ? Quote:

Beware, if you have disabled the three items, you find everything turned on again then it may be an old virus infection that hid the system files. |
