A500 guide

Anubis · 21 August 2006, 15:32

Hi Poul,
I know you're still tired from doing that WHDload thingy, but here is another suggestion about guides.

Create guide how to run couple games on regular Amiga 500. You can go to some details on how to place floppy, use floppy switching option, how to use AR (WinUAE debuger), save state, etc.

Also couple of basic configuration (KS1.3 - A500 extended, A500+/A600 and A1200 AGA

)

Let me know what do you think about this.

A few good ideas for General Guides section

I was planning to do something like this but never got around to it.

I would say that you need fast and dirty way of getting games to run.

Let me know when you start working on it.

Here is what I've done so far:

Changing Disks in WinUAE
Using Save States in WinUAE

To make it easy, I would mention use of End + F1 to insert disk etc. and then End + Shift + F1 to eject disk.

For save state you should include startup of the game if you turn off WinUAE.

Everything else looks fine.

Great work!
