There is no need to download working .uae configs. Use the quickstart option to start your prefered machine.
Yes, WinUAE crashes sometimes, mostly the new Beta's. But that's normal. It doesn't freeze or crash your PC. |

i encounter bugs in winuae yes, but since they do not particualrly hinder my usage of it, i havent found the time to document the reproduction of said-bugs, particularly given that i beta-test other projects already. a bit of common sense... and less of the attitude. please. |

Winuae is more powerfull than a true amiga take less space, it has 4 channels option with this option the sound is for me better than a real amiga if toni could add "maxim stepin's hq2x" filter like with mame the visual will be improved (this my opinion

maybe the bug is particularly difficult to fix? especially since you seem to have more knowledge on it than anyone else on this forum. I certainly have not heard any specific details of this complaint, dispite reading many amiga forums largely centered around users of winuae... usually the odd mention of a few bugs/breakages, but nothing to the extent of which you seem to have encountered......

the assumption that it is a waste of your time to report bugs hardly aids the situation does it? my point is simply that if you arent willing to do anything about it, dont assume someone else will do it for you. If you want a bug fixed because it is -that- much of a hinderence, you must be willing to do something about it yourself. Reproduce the bug on demand, cite settings, hardware and anything else you can think of for a bug report. you claim it is "already reported" but how can you claim know the full details of that report, and guarentee the problem would be fixed on your own machine, based on the bug report of someone else? put simply... you cant. I very much doubt any such bug is being "ignored" , but Toni would know more about that than i. however, i can say i think its a bit rude to accuse any author of willingly saying "f**k it" to any well documented (something which i still do not beleive this bug to be) problem. |

I also found many other bug reports but that one seems to be the closest one. I know the details of the report because I have read the thread. I can't guarantee that it is an identical bug but it certainly would be a coincidence to have 2 such similar bugs in 1 program. In any event, the fact that that bug still has yet to be documented or fixed 4 months later despite several new WinUAE versions doesn't inspire confidence in whatever bug-tracking system he uses. I can reproduce the bug, I just have to start UAE and wait a couple of minutes. The random factor is how long it lasts before dying, at times it doesn't even finish booting the OS, other times I can get up to 5 minutes or so before it dies. I have tried various settings, which don't have any correlation to the length of time, so it doesn't seem to be settings-related. Quote:

Iv'e changed a little regarding this.Always loved emulation of any machine but it was only when i got my XBox running Winuaex that i started using the Amiga a lot more in emulation - closer for me to the real thing because i run it on my tv and the scrolling is exact and unlike what i could ever get on the pc(i guess it's possible to achieve perfect scrolling but i could only ever get smooth blur).
These days however i care less about the exactness of the scrolling and have been using ClassicWB on Winuae PC.It looks and feels really nice to be running the Amiga this way.Got 3 A1200's also and they are my pride - flashcards as hardrives are very cool and i think i would regret not having a real machine.That said though , Winuae is one stunning emulator that means you really don't need to have a real machine should it need to be that way.I'm just glad i got loads of options as for me each setup has it's advantages. |

I'm willing to do a formal bug report in case this wasn't done by the other people who have experienced this bug. I'm not sure what format he'd like it in though, I assume he wants it done in a formal way? As I've already reported it informally in this thread and clearly that is not considered a bug report, so I shall do a formal one. I did just notice that a new version was just released today (1.4.2a), so I will ensure it still happens before submitting such a report. From the changelog it does look like it may have been fixed, that would be great. |

Masturbation is not bad. Not bad. But real thing is real thing, man. Yeah.

Well, the real thing can cost you money, can give you nasty, in some cases life threatering deceases and lots more.... while masturbation can not...
edit: In other words, use WinUAE, it's cheaper etc. Last edited by Ironclaw; 14 May 2007 at 18:25. |

Nope, still no good.
Emulator hangs, repeatably, whilst booting AmigaOS. Fortunately, it's not killing the whole system, but the emulator is still dying. At least the old version usually got further than that. This emulator is going from bad to worse I'm afraid. Doesn't anyone test these before they are inflicted upon the world? |

Dude, i have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you should re-install your PC OS. WinUAE boots all preinstalled Amiga OS systems without problems.

I use both emulation and real.
Emulation is a lot more FLEXIBLE using just the "one" machine, in so many ways as described by others above. And I can take it on the road with me. However, the real thing is a lot SMOOTHER in both graphics and sound quality (i.e. 50 fps means exactly 50 fps, not 49.5 or 50.5 due to windoze process priorities). Plus when you need something that needs the speed of a 68060, you need the real thing (for now...). So I prefer games on the real thing (with VGA monitor of course). Also emulation though very close is not (yet) perfect. Keeping it objective. |

Wasn't this thread about Emulation vs the Real Thing and not a place to moan about the new UAE not working?
Paul banned Alyria he had same ip as Fortrax aka Minious. The tone was similar to this Lagoth though. Who, just as Alyria did, has joined to moan about WinUAE not working and that it's awful/getting worse/toni doesn't care etc..... and yet is also reluctant to provide evidence so it can be fixed. Hmmm. Trying to get back on topic, I like WinUAE, it does many things my real Amiga's cant. Mind you I still dig them out (very) occasionally but purely for the nostalgia of attaching the leads, finding the disk is corrupt and other joys! Also playing the odd game! [edit] whoops Calgor, didn't notice you'd reeled it back into on topic already! ![]() |
