hi there,

maybe you folks know, what´s wrong:

I got a OS3.9 install on my Win10 PC, which works fine. I set it up in FS-UAE, I have some folders, that represent the harddisks of the Amiga.

Now, I installed UAE4ALL and E-UAE 1.0 to my MorphOS 3.9 ibook and did a new config (.uaerc) and try to boot my transfered 3.9 Amiga WB...

It boots, but I run into some issues:


The colors are just 8bit (or less?), everything is just grey-blue-ish. the Workbench does not fit into the screen and the mouse pointer is "off". Like I can move half across the E-UAE window, then it get´s stuck and the mouse pointer is on the Morphos desktop again. (There is a big gap)

Can somebody tell, what´s wrong? How to "catch/capture" the mouse-pointer?


Cheers!

To have more than 8-bit colors and higher resolutions etc. you need a gfx card emulation. This is only supported by euae sdl afair. Mouse pointer breaks when emulated amiga screen is in different aspect ratio than a regular screen.

ah, great!

thanks for answering...

Now, I have euae sdl started, but still just 8-bit colors... do you know the command for "gfx-card"?
In FS-UAE I used something like: graphics_card = uaegfx / graphics_memory = 131072uaegfx .. but it´s not working in Morphos e-uae :(

Oh and another thing: how fast is emulation, compared to other OS´es?

Is it better, to emulate just WB 3.1 or lower on ibook 1.33Ghz, running Morphos 3.9?

Add gfx_fullscreen_picasso=yes to euae config. I didn't try to run uae on other OSes on the same HW, so I can't say. Mostly I only need euae to run games (just by clicking in Ambient) and other programs which don't run on MorphOS and even then 000/020 OCS/AGA Amiga emulation is enough. 3.9 or 3.1? No, it doesn't really matter.

[ Edited by Korni 09.08.2016 - 14:19 ]

awesome, thanks - I´ll try this

You can start 68000er games, just by clicking them from the ambient desktop?
Can you tell, how you did that? Is there kind of "run in uae" scripting going on?!

would be nice, if you could tell a little more in depth about it...

have a good one!

http://www.meta-morphos.org/download/Tutorial/E-UAE%20installation%20on%20MorphOS.pdf - Page 19. For games in ADF images you can have a simple Ambient MIMEtype action action like "Run >NIL: SYS:Tools/e-uae/e-uae -f SYS:Tools/e-uae/conf/A1200.conf -0 %sp"

uuups - I already read the document you linked (parts of it)

So Page 19. is the key ;)

great tipp for the ADF images, nice
thanks for the heads-up !!!

Have You driver uaegfx in DEVS:Monitors: ?

hello,

I tried adding "gfx_fullscreen_picasso=yes" to config and was hoping to have some more screenmodes in the Screenmodes tool on the amiga - but this wasn´t the case...

I only get Pal low-res and high-res modes, like standard amiga would.

There is no thing like a picasso, uaegfx mode or such :(

The thing is, the mouse is allways totally off, when launching in a window. It only works when E-UAE is in fullscreen-mode.

Even then, my workbench does not fit into...

Does someone have a working .uaerc config file for a amiga workbench (not games)?
Tried many resolutions in the uae settings, but nothing will work right.
I am on a 12" ibook right now @1024x768px and I like to run the OS3.9 in 800x600 or maybe fullscreen.
But would prefer windowed first...

Maybe I have to set some custom res in amiga-screen-tool???

@Norbi

Yes, I have


[ Editiert durch Elowan 10.08.2016 - 12:28 ]

great, "gfxcard_size=16" did the trick - now I get UAE screenmodes in the Amiga ScreenMode tool, up to 800x600 32bit (but no 1080x768) res...

So I switched back to windowed UAE, but then once again, the mouse is totally "off".
Is there no way to fix this issue? I mean in FS-UAE, you just press the mouse-scroll-wheel and boom - the poniters snapping together. I am missing such an option in morphos E-UAE right now.

besides that, it is remarkable fast, even on an 1.33GH ibook G4! (ok, I set vsync and sound to none/off)


cheers!

Still no luck...

this is, how my config looks:

Code:

any ideas, how to sync the mouse-cursor, when in windowed mode (turned it off in the config right now)


Cheers!

Are you sure that 1024x768 isn't in your screenmodes? It isn't sorted from lowest to highest. Here it works both on my pm and pb, even with your config. Euae on MorphOS seems to lack option to lock cursor to window.

Hmmm, I think I get only a few screenmodes, but nothing higher, than 800x600.
I will check this again, maybe I´ve just overlooked it.

No cursor lock in windowed mode is a bad thing - but I guess only the author can change this, so...

I hope, fullscreen in 1024x768 will work.


Thanks Korni!

ctrl+alt+g - lock cursor in windowed mode
ctrl+alt+s - change between full screen / window

thank you Norbi, will test it as soon as I can :)

[ Editiert durch Elowan 12.08.2016 - 15:57 ]

@Korni

thanks for the hint, the screenmodes were not sorted, like I expected them to be... after I scrolled all the way up, I´ve found 1024x768 *yeah*

@Norbi

ctrl+alt+s works, but I noticed no difference with ctrl+alt+g - mouse cursor was still off.

Have You mouse cursor in kick's bootmenu ?

Hi Norbi,

if you mean the "Insert Floppy bootmeneu", then "no" - got no cursor in there.

No.
Early Boot Menu

Ah, ok - yes, I get the Amiga-cursor, when in early startup-menu. It is still a bit "off", but not that much - at least, I can move it to the edges of the Amiga screen.

And you know what: CTRL+ALT+G is now capturing/trapping the "Morphos Mouse cursor" and it works perfectly in windowed mode, too (!)

I think, this one is solved!

Thanks a lot
