I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Well done Chris! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the update. New config seems to work better here on 733MHz Sam, makes setting up E-UAE a doddle.

How do I change settings so that E-UAE opens a window on Workbench? I tried adding

Quote:

# Prompt for screen mode to use; public, custom, ask # amiga.screen_type=custom amiga.publicscreen=Workbench

to .uaerc_RunInUAE but doesn't seem to have made a difference?

I never understand why anyone wants to do that, because you will end-up with a postage-stamp sized window on a modern LCD monitor! But since you ask...

... Your mistake is to edit the ".uaerc_RunInUAE" config file, as this is only used by HD installed games (not ADF games). Please remove the lines you added, and change the main ".uaerc" file instead.

You MAY also need to change "gfx_fullscreen_amiga=true" to "gfx_fullscreen_amiga=false". I haven't checked. If you still have problems then let me know.

Great version!

As usual with every new level of added polish I re-new my advice to eventually include it with a future version of OS4...

Well done.

Great, since it gives "OS 3.x" apps and games (OCS/ECS/AGA) compatibility feel.
Should be part of the OS

It's always nice to hear that (and I kinda agree!), but that is of course up to Hyperion. It would undoubtably need an improved GUI, but I think that is now at the top of my RunInUAE To Do List anyway.

The other issue is whether Hyperion could supply the required Kickstart & Workbench files, so you didn't need to buy an AmigaForever CD. I think their settlement with Amiga Inc gives them the rights to Workbench & Kickstart 3.1, which is *almost* all that is needed... but they would also need to supply Kickstart 1.3 for all those ADF games. I'm not sure what they could do about Kickstart 1.3... maybe reach some agreement with Cloanto? I doubt Amiga Inc would be reasonable, even though they now seem ready to license the Amiga name & trademarks to any Tom, Dick or Harry.

EDIT: Hmmmm, I guess if all else failed, the A1200 was supposed to run most A500 games, so I suppose it might be possible to reuse Kickstart 3.1 for that purpose. It would not be as compatible, nor quite as smooth on a Sam440, but might be better than nothing...

Isn't there no option to just include it into workbench,just like the context UAE starter on MorphOS/Ambient?
If you rightclick an adf in Ambient, you get a menu to chose with which config that adf should be launched.

RunInUAE is more powerful concept - it supports even WHDLoad installed games and 68k executables. It woukd be a good idea to add it as contribution to the OS, if all legal questions are solved (eg. KS ROMs, proper licence for all files in the package etc.).

@ChrisH

Good work!

@ChrisH

Thanks, just curious really and useful for some strategy games. I get small 'postage size' display when UAE runs on it's own screen anyway on my widescreen monitor. Thanks.

You've got 2 options to solve the litlle screen trouble (mostly due to LCD Wide screens) :

One is to set RunInUAE to run in 640x480 (best option is to modify the .uaerc file), second is to use the overscan mode :

Here is my .uaerc setting for display (with a Wide LCD screen) :

# Display settings
gfx_width_windowed=720
gfx_height_windowed=560
gfx_lores=false
gfx_linemode=scanlines
gfx_correct_aspect=false
gfx_center_horizontal=smart
gfx_center_vertical=smart

I'musing 720*560 since it allows me to play overscan games (such as Settlers or demos) and "scanlines" to get a more oldschool display (and avoid aliasing too).

In 720*560, I'm still no getting a full screen but nearly (there are empty space on the right/left/top/bottom of the screen). In 640x480, i can get a full screen without any problem.

Such an integrated Amiga 68k compatibility as default in AmigaOS 4.x would be a nice "killer application" for the AmigaOne X1000.
A new user would probabily want to be able by default to just download Sensible Soccer WHDLoad, click on it and have a match with its Competition Pro joystick connected to the X1000...

That can happen if you have DCC enabled. You have two choices (both mentioned in the manual...):
* Manually add a 320x256 (or 320x240) resolution using Sys:Prefs/ScreenMode .
* Use RunInUAE's "Settings > Set default screen size to > 640x480" menu, but this will result in lower performance.

There is no need to modify the .uaerc file to do this, as RunInUAE already has the option built-in as a menu option (see above).

I can't comment on Widescreen LCDs, since I wouldn't ever buy such a monitor (yuck)...

ChrisH : yeah, I know since I've been using it for a while now. But tweaking the .uaerc file is mandatory if you want to be more accurate in your choice (scanlines) for example).

Moreover, even adding a 320x256 mode in the screenmode prefs won't avoid the post stamp size, this is the LCD at fault.

RunInUAE is an excellent piece of software. The best usage of it is to use it with a 4/3 LCD display.

Excellent work Chris. Thanks. This is a very important development for os4 and should certainly be included with the OS and fully integrated with a polished gui for config. Lack of 68k compatibility really throttled a lot of classic users from going to next gen os4/ppc systems due to this back in 2002 on..

How fast is emulation speed on productivity software? For instance how fast would Pixel Pro or some other 68k only apps..?

Also on a 1ghz box like a peg2 or a sam do AGA games play full speed? How good is Cd32 joypad support and CD32 , CDTV emu? (any titles known working?)
