Amigans! REAL HARDWARE or EMULATION? - Page 3

RoC · 22 April 2018, 11:01

A bit of both.

While 1200/600 are the preferred among classics because of accelerator/indivision/hdd, WinUAE (thanks Toni) is practical for preparing CFs or for a quick look at something fetched from the internet (mostly intros and demos).

I like also FPGA such as Minimig, FPGArcade and Myst. The last one is the FleaFPGA.

FPGAs = New hardware with modern video ouput.

I only use emulation for what emulation excels at; checking things while at a café.

For when you just cant be seen with MacOS while working on your webcode over a Soy Machiatto.

Real hardware, always.

Real hardware, a stock CD32 with indivision and tf328, simple but the best for RETURN TO THE FUTURE

Do I get extra points for using real floppies instead of a Gotek or WHDload?

Nightshft · 22 April 2018, 23:45

Real Hardware.
and real Floppies, cheers Marchie =)

WinUAE is great - thanks Toni! - and often very useful.
But then I love to run the software on the real thing. One of my main motivations is to repair hardware (if possible), keep it in fine condition or tune it a bit.

2017: A500, A600
2018: A500, A600+HD, A1200+HD+1220 or BC1208

Both. Each has pros and cons.

tero · 23 April 2018, 05:50

Both for me too. The real thing is used for gaming, i like playing from disk.

Bruce Abbott · 23 April 2018, 09:11

Real hardware only for me.

A few days ago I tried out that UAE thingy. Didn't work because it needed a kickstart ROM, which I would have to either buy or extract from my A1200. At that point I lost interest - why bother wrestling with PC crap when I have real hardware?

1987: A1000
1991: A3000
1992: A600
1993: A1200

Sadly, due to various reasons (theft, needing money, stupidity) I only have the A1200 today. But if I could have only one Amiga the A1200 would be it.

EzdineG · 23 April 2018, 12:16

Real hardware.

UAE is a fine tool to help create media for real hardware, virus scan, etc. but does zero for the nostalgia fix had when using actual hardware.

If not for the nostalgia, why?

Predseda · 23 April 2018, 13:47

Real hardware for fun, Emulation for LemonAmiga work.

trixster · 23 April 2018, 13:55

Real hardware - A4000, A3000, A1200, 2xA500
Occasional WinUAE and UAE4Arm on the RPi

Jope · 23 April 2018, 14:01

Real HW for now. Once I no longer have the need to attach any physical expansions or interfaces to the computer, then it might be time to go 100% emulation.

Fixed.

real hardware, amiga 1200.

Buying an 500 soon.

But the most important thing is: a proper crt monitor.

2d graphics does not look good on an flatscreen.

adolfo.pa · 23 April 2018, 18:14

Most of the time real hardware (A500 ACA500+), occasionally FS-UAE or Mist for AGA stuff.

orphan264 · 23 April 2018, 19:14

Real hardware
A4000, A1000, A500
