• Best option for an emulated Amiga?

    From Spitfire@80:774/69 to All on Sat Jun 30 16:19:03 2018
    So I have a PC Tower running windows 10 on it, it will load up and then
    load up WinUAE for me and I have my Amiga. Is there away to boot right to the
    emulated Amiga? Leave all the resources available for the Amiga and not the hogging Win10? Of course the PC will need the drivers loaded for the hardware and such so WinUAE can access them. I would like to convert a laptop over to strictly run WinUAE.

    I have a spare PC desktop that I would like to do this to it also. If you
    find out anything please let me know. Thanks

    I did do some reading and found away to boot directly to AmigaOS on a Windows XP system. But it takes away the F12 option once it is set up. I am looking more into this.

    Well, the best Emulated PC I have found use WinUAE and ClassicWB. I placed both the files on Rof. All you need is your Workbench Disks/Images. This is what I am using on my Amiga Laptop.

    I'm with Spitfire here on this.. I am running WinUAE on a i3 with only 4gigs
    of RAM and a 250gig HD.. AmigaOS 3.9 plain jane, runs real well, hasn't
    crashed since I took the BBS and Emulator off a Virtual Box and AOS 4.1...
    That was back in September.. If I don't reboot the machine or system for any reason I could run it non stop with no issues..

    If you would, a step-by-step tutorial would be a magnificent thing to publish on your bbs and facebook. Imagine how many more Amiga laptops there would be if
    someone published a guide. It might spare the landfill with still useable laptops. I'd be happy to publish this on my board and facebook page as well. ÖÄÄ· · þ ·

    I am finding that FS-UAE is hella more stable than WinUAE is.. and you CAN minimize the windows without it going into an error loop .. and FS-UAE runs
    on all platforms (UAE/E-UAE forks are junk) .. I am using FS-UAE for the
    Amiga side now.

    I've wanted to try FS-UAE for some time now. Yes, it is beyond irritating to minimize the WinUAE window just to see that it crashes moments later. Are you running a BBS on it?

    I've setup WinUAE about 4 times now. I'm just wondering how Spitfire gets it to
    start running and full screen when he starts windows. I've added batch files to my windows startup folder for WinUAE but it still won't load when the computer gets reset (thanks to Microsoft for the once a month update reboot). I've purchased a battery backup for my computer and comcrap modem so I have less reboots in my future.
    K-Guide recommends starting WinUAE with administrative control, which is where I believe it won't run from my batch file. WinUAE will load the default configuration upon startup so I made sure my latest saved version is called default.
    My batch file is one line that says "C:\Program Files\Winuae\Winuae.exe"
    Yes, I'm running the 64-bit version for the BBS.

    I have just about all of my computers UAC turned off.. To me it's a extra annoying step anytime you want to do something. The way I see it, I have both an AntiVirus and a Firewall running plus password protected login. If anyone wants in they can have at my stuff..

    The way I figure it, most ppl that run UAE do it in a VM do disabling UAC
    isn't really that big of a deal

    I will be setting up a Amilator machine soon it uses FS-UAE so I will let you know how that goes, it's supposed to boot right into AMigaOS without ever seeing Linux at all.. As for 3.9 and 4.1 I bought 4.1 from Amiga on the sea
    or something like that, it was like $40 and I bought 3.9 at a garage sale
    that my neighbor was having turns out her husband who was a really good guy
    and friend was a Commodore/Amiga nut like me! I never knew it until I was rutting around software she was selling and found the Amiga 3.9 OS CD and I asked her! Between us I am sure with a little Googling you can find both..

    Getting software installed is the easy part, it's like windows in the fact
    that you double click a install file and answer questions.. Getting it configured to look good well that's another thing. Right now My Amiga BBS
    runs in a 1024x768 box inside a 1680x1050 screen and it is a very basic setup because I only want it to run my BBS.. If and when I get around to putting Amilator together I will either install 3.9 on it or 4.1, then I will really work it over and get it nice and Iwill make notes and let you know what I do and help you out too.. :)

    To be honest this is the place to go for the Amiga help.. SpitFire from Reign of Fire is outstanding with the Amiga, as is a few others, they I am sure
    will be popping in to help out...

    Google ClassicWB. They have pre-installs of Workbench. You will need the image files of the OS you want to use though!

    I did some more reading up on it today, I am really looking forward to trying it out. By the looks of it all I have to do is use the program setup the HD for
    it and install AOS! We'll see how easy it goes though.. LOL


    Bucko, man you have some cool finds around you!

    I was shocked, her husband and I talked a lot when I first moved in and I made the special trip to bring my computers he saw me bringing them in and said hmm a lot of computers there, do you work in the computer field? I told him no, but
    I was a computer geek and enjoyed playing with them.. Never mentioned Commodore or Amiga to him, now I wish I did because we had a lot more in common
    then I thought, he was a total Amiga geek from what his son told me. He had a 4000 and a 2000 with a video toaster on it. His son told me he used to edit video and whatnot.. I was really impressed..

    Go for it. You have nothing to lose. I am going to probably install DLG on this

    myself.. ;)

    Just gotta get some floppy disks converted to adf's. Been meaning to ask my local Amiga user group to do it for me.. Jeez!

    I did some more reading up on it today, I am really looking forward to trying it out. By the looks of it all I have to do is use the program setup the HD for it and install AOS! We'll see how easy it goes though.. LOL

    Well please keep us updated on this adventure, would enjoy seeing how it all goes and I know I will pick up some knowledge from your experience of it. ;)

    Amiga on the Lake is the name of the shop. Aaron is a great guy and
    does a lot to try to help the platform. He's also branching out into carrying hardware for other retro platforms as well. The website is
    well worth a look.


    Yup that's the place.. Aaron was phenominal when I bought AOS4.1 from him. I don't see myself buying any hardware unless he has a great deal on the Vampyre Stand alone.. I just can't see spening $600 plus on a box the size of a pI... I
    am emulating every OS on 1 PC and they work great.. Maybe if I hit the lotto I
    will buy the A1500.. ;)

    For what it's worth I believe he's looking into carrying the Vampyre, but
    I'm not sure of the status on that.

    I know he's carrying a lot of connectors, adapters, etc. that can be a challenge to find for classic hardware for Amiga, Atari, etc.

    I strongly agree with whoever said use Linux. I have been using FS-UAE quite a bit over the last month, and it's been rock solid. It probably wouldn't be terribly difficult to create an entry in the window manager to start an X session with just FS-UAE maximized... I don't have the time or energy right now
    to do it but if you look up how, for example, LightDM's config files work, it probably wouldn't be too hard. Well, I guess "hard" is all in the eye of the beholder...

    So, for now the bestr way is to install WinUAE, then ClassicWB and place the default.uae script in the windows start-up folder. You will also have to turn off the password prompt windows has. The at boot, Windows 10 will
    load. Then the Emulator will load.
    There are a few mnore detailed steps for the Emulator to load in full screen. But nothing to hard. Let me know what area your on and if you need any help.

    I am finding that FS-UAE is hella more stable than WinUAE is.. and you CAN minimize the windows without it going into an error loop .. and FS-UAE
    runs
    on all platforms (UAE/E-UAE forks are junk) .. I am using FS-UAE for
    Amiga side now.

    Well I have to endorse that. I have to comment this because after a long
    search for a good emulator I found FS-UAE and it was the best I could find.
    Now I'm writing in a terminal session, that I opened from the Emulator.

    And I had no problems with the FS-UAE. Could also find a lot of valuable documentation on the web.
