Check the info on the icon. You might have double entries in there (on one icon).

no tooltypes at all are contained in uaegfx icon. only "icon by martin huttenloher"
anyway, i managed to download an old winuae 0.8.8 release 3 for test purposes. i had to run this old piece of emulator on an old windows 98 pc for it to work. booting old 1999 configuration in its original home environment works no problem. there is no uaegfx error or similar in winuae 0.8.8 r3, workbench 3.1 just boots. something in emulation must have changed along the long journey of winuae. before toni wilen there were matthias ortman and brian king and who else? where can i read development history of uae/winuae? curious about beginnings. and i'm interested in "milestones" each version of the emulator had to offer. for example, when was aga implemented, when rtg, when was 030 added, etc. Last edited by honx; 15 November 2016 at 16:08. |

Probably something must have required something manual in early days but now it loads automatically. Perhaps there is something in startup-sequence.
I don't know where to find old not-official UAE changelogs.. |

WinUAE 1.4.6 is last version that I know that work on Win9x.
UAEGfx* files are unchanged from WinUAE 0.8.8 to now. Maybe you need to copy p96refresh and rtg.library from "*\WinUAE\Amiga Programs"!?!? I don't know if they are changed from when 0.8.8 is released. There is none of them in 0.8.8 installation. |

Versions from 0.8.24 onward are available from Toni's website.
For testing purposes and nostalgia, my proposded compilation will include at least the following versions, complete with documentation where applicable, when I have located them on my old hard drives: Quote:

0.6.4 is last version that works on 386 machines. 0.6.5 uses bswapl instruction which is 486+ CPU instruction.
I think that 0.8.8 is first that have AGA. |
