Newbie Questions
Hey Guys,
I got this emulator working today, and having been an Amiga lover for many years now (since the late 80's), I am much impressed with it! But I seem to be having some probs, have gone to numerous sites, and haven't been able to find the answers to my questions: 1) How do I get a virtual little mouse arrow for Amiga games that support the mouse, when I click the windows arrow in the screen it just disappears, I tried different inputs but nothing seems to be working, I would like to use a mouse/keyboard combo 2) how to save games?, now I really looked hard, I don't know how to back out of a program to create a savestate Other than that I'm surprised at how easy this emu is to operate and how bugfree it is. Thanks. |

Heys Dochuge,
Welcome to the EAB, I am sure you will like it here.. Now lets see.... 1. virtual mouse dissapering / not showing. I had this problem with an OLD version of WinUAE and a sus gfx card, currently there is version 1.3 available, what version are you running? what are you computer specs might also help diagnosing this probelm. 2. Saving ones game.. without using save states, what you need to do in the winuae menu <<floppy drive>> is to create a flopy disk (this creates a virtual disk ADF) from this you mount it into say drive DF0, this is now accessed by the application as though its a disk and and hence saves etc..... |

Heys P-J,
I just offered another method of saving the game buy using an adf virtual disk as opposed to a save state method in winuae. by using this adf, you can put this over to an actual amiga and from that copy over to a real floppy disk... thus you can then use your save on the real hardware as well as the emulator |

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the replies. I believe I am using the latest version of this emulator. I played around with it last night and SOME games do give me a virtual mouse (Castle 2), some games don't (ie. Cadaver). Not sure why or if I did something differently. I'm not even sure if Cadaver even supports the mouse or not, seems like it should (I remember playing it on Amiga 500 way back when, one of my all-time faves). |

Cadaver is controlled by the joystick, it never was mouse controlled.
