    I'm trying to run some games with UAE but I'm stuck right at the start.

    I use UAE 0.8.22 without gui.
    As Kick I'm using a kickfile of my old A4000.

    OK here myu questions/problems:

    1) The Kick works but the floppy game is never loaded. It always shows the insert disk animation.


    2) How can I run something in window mode?


    My main problme is that I could not find a proper description of the config options.


    Here is my test config:
    floppy0=Work:Soft/UAE/ADF/BattleSquadron.adf
    kickstart_rom_file=Work:Soft/UAE/ROMS/kick31.rom
    32bit_blits=yes
    cpu_speed=real
    cpu_type=68040
    cpu_compatible=yes

    gfx_framerate=3
    gfx_width=320
    gfx_height=240
    gfx_lores=yes
    gfx_linemode=double
    gfx_center_horizontal=smart
    gfx_center_vertical=smart
    gfx_fullscreen_amiga=false
    sound_output=normal



    Many thanks in advance

    Hi,


    Argll, I found the reason why the games don't boot.
    I've unziped my adf collection into ram:
    Unfortunatly unzip removed read rights of the files.
    Copying the files with Ambient to the harddisk worked but
    all files were of size 0 now.

    The *magic* behavior of Ambient did cost me some hours ... :)

    Anyway I can now start the games but I still have a feww problems:

    1) UAE seems the be _very_,_very_ slow.
    How can I play Amiga500 games with my Peg II G4 ?
    2) Can some please point me to a list of config options?
    How do I setup joypad or joystick emulation?


    Thanks
    Gunnar

    Why aren't you using UAE with MUIRexx GUI ?
    That way you can easily setup UAE to smoothly
    run a500 games.

    Erm, I had problems starting the GUI.
    I figured now out that it works as soon as I start rexx. :-)

    I can't help but UAE is still very slow.
    The sound plays with *normal* speed but gfx jumps and is slow.

    When I disable sound then gfx is ok.

    Any ideas how to fix this?

    I've a Peg II G4, with 512MB, radeon 7000, onboard sound
    I'm running UAE 0.8.22 special edition by djbase


    Many thanks in advance

    I had the same troubles you have, eventualy
    i played a lot with the settings, and i got a
    good result with nice gfx and good sound.

    My pegII G4 card died a while ago, i am
    waiting for the repairs, so i can't tell you
    exactly what changes you have to make
    to get it running smooth, all i can say is
    that i had spaceballs demo and some a500
    games running with good speed and sound.

    Just play a lot with the settings, specially
    the sound settings.

    Bye,
    Felix.

    I've never got it to work myself. If sound is on mine is slow like
    yours, if its off its too fat to be playable. I gave up. Now I try it
    and I cant get any disks to run like you say you had problems with.

    It's not slow.
    The Sound emulation is causing stalls.
    We need an UAE version with fixed sound support.
    Use 16 bit 48kHz stereo modes. They are the fastest I think.

    hi everybody,

    Does anyone use the Catweasel with UAE?
    I heard you can connect original Arcade joysticks on them.
    Does that work in UAE?

    UAE is loading zipped ADFs.
    No need to uncompress them.
