Hi all,
I've recently started using Winuae with Amikit and just have a few questions that I was hoping people could help with
Bit of background (feel free to ignore and go down to question 1)
Im using a pipo x9 (
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/pipo-x9-hybrid-windows-10-android-mini-pc-review/) with the latest version of Winuae with the latest version of amikit (I installed amikit then installed the latest Winuae as it seems to have more features than the one included in amikit)
I'm not new to Amigas and have an A1200 with 060 and 64mb ram. I am new to Winuae, Amikit and RTG stuff.
I use my pipo mainly for retro gaming on the windows side and film watching on the android side.
I'm trying to get a setup where I can use Amiga OS as my main OS to keep with the retro feel of things. .
1 - I'm trying to use winlaunch to open windows apps from within workbench but it just gives me an error asking me to either jump rts, change pc or remove. This is even when using the preinstalled icons to open internet explorer or firefox. Any tips on how to get this working would be nice.
2 - Is it normal for doom to play on a tiny screen when selecting a high resolution? I think I'm using Adoom. Other games where I can use the uaegfx screenmodes also had smaller screens till I switched to Full-Window rather than Full screen in the display settings. Doom is always tiny until I select a very low resolution (around 300 and somthing)
3 - How do I get scummvm (the preinstalled amikit version) into fullscreen. Instructions say Alt+enter but alt+enter doesn't seem to work. (Looking at the software list I may need to use the AGA version is this correct)
4 - I've read that Winuae is compatible with OS4 now. Is there a demo/timetrial version of OS4 available? I'd like to test it before I commit to a purchase. I'm not sure how well it will perform on my device. The Pipo X9 isn't overly powerful but gives good Amiga performance.
5 - Is netsurf supposed to be really slow and cause lockups while pages are loading? Ibrowse and aweb run fast but netsurf crawls. (I actually have a button on my keyboard that opens up chrome on top of the UAE window making it look like it's actually running in workbench so I'm not too bothered about this. It's more of a curiosity thing)
6 - When selecting the video card expansions is it better to use the UAE-picasso or picasso IV?
7 - I wasn't getting the best performance (especially with icons and backgrounds loading) until I installed fblit and blazewcp. Is there any other speed up software that you can think of that I should definitely be trying? (I removed MCP because it caused problems with stability)
Thanks in advance
