1) Get E-UAE from this page: Amiga emulator on Asus eeePC (e-uae_0.8.29-WIP4_linux-i586_sdl.tar.bz2 works nicely).
1.1) Extract (and move) files into ~/amiga/uae directory
2) Fiddle with settings, and get frustrated (too slow emulation speed, sound failing)
3) Take these config files and scripts, and enjoy
Copy into ~/s/run_uae.sh
[code]
UAE=~/amiga/uae/uae
CONF=~/amiga/uae_00.conf
if [ ”$4” != ”” ]; then
$UAE -f $CONF -0 ”$1” -1 ”$2” -2 ”$3” -3 ”$4”
elif [ ”$3” != ”” ]; then
$UAE -f $CONF -0 ”$1” -1 ”$2” -2 ”$3”
elif [ ”$2” != ”” ]; then
$UAE -f $CONF -0 ”$1” -1 ”$2”
elif [ ”$1” != ”” ]; then
$UAE -f $CONF -0 ”$1”

4) Copy required rom file into ~/amiga/rom (well, let’s see how you can get it 😉 )
5) Copy some nice adf floppy images into ~/amiga/floppy
6) Launch some image, using ~/s/run_uae.sh script
6.1) You may need to configure mime type and such for ADF -image
7) Hit ”Start” in UAE, and Enjoy!
NOTE: Notice that I’ve used ”finegrain_cpu_speed=NNNN” to allow adjusting suitable speed for emulating A500. Trying to use ”Approriately 7Mhz 68000” setting fails miserably by being unusably slow, and maximum speed also works very badly by eating all CPU (and it’s too fast). This fine grained setting causes uae to consume 30% .. 80% of CPU thus it works very nicely.
I tried few different values for finegrain_cpu_speed
- 512 too fast
- 4096 hmm… too slow? (Wiz ’n Liz fails to work)/li>
- 2048 well, seems to work most of time (Wiz ’n Liz and Stunt Car Racer seem to work)
COOL !!!!!
