Configurations?

Hi.

I have created three different folder named:

A500
A1200
CD32

In each folder i have a copy of WinUAE so that i can configure three different machines so that i can click on either of them in the start menu it will startup as that machine.

Now the problem i am having is that when i startup say the A500 and configure it also changes the A1200 and CD32 to the A500 settings, i have pointed to the configuration file for that machine in it's own folder.
So why is it also changing the configurations for the others with them having there own folders?

I wanted to do this so that i don't have to keep loading a configuration file for which ever one i want to use.


Many Thanks

Worf.

Hi Worf and welcome to EAB
Create an empty file with the name 'winuae.ini' in each folder and then save your configuration as 'default.uae' for each of the setups. The easier way would be that you just make shortcuts to the three configs (A500, A1200 and CD32) with one installation and start WinUAE that way

Hi TheCyberDruid.

Thanks did the .ini files and now it works.

Welcome to EAB Worf even though you've been a member here since April 2008. Strange question, why has it taken you so long to post anything?

Hello Worf,

There's no need to do this, just have one WinUAE folder / installation and then:

• Create a configuration for each of the machine types that you want e.g. "Amiga - 500".
• Create shortcuts in your Start menu that point to WinUAE and then to each configuration. The shortcuts would be called / configured something like this for example:

Shortcut Name: WinUAE - Amiga 500
Shortcut Path: %WinUAE% directory\WinUAE.exe -f "Amiga 500.uae"

Shortcut Name: WinUAE - Amiga 1200
Shortcut Path: %WinUAE% directory\WinUAE.exe -f "Amiga 1200.uae"

Shortcut Name: WinUAE - Amiga CD32
Shortcut Path: %WinUAE% directory\WinUAE.exe -f "Amiga CD32.uae"


Hope this makes sense?

*cough* Already pointed to that in the second post
Btw : You can also just make shortcuts to the configs, since the newer WinUAE versions are associated to them

Ooops, that's what happens when you skim through a new thread. Only saw the bit you wrote about using different "winuae.ini" files in each folder

Well, I always post the direct answer to the question first and then tell what I would do Each to their own, right?
