Getting UAE to work on Amithlon

[Targhan]

I've been trying to get UAE to work correctly under Amithlon, but have had a few problems.  Notably, I can't seem to get UAE (0.8.22) to recognize my ROMs from AmigaForever.  Also, it's dead as nails slow.  The system is a Celery950, so it should be fast enough (and I have a lot of ram).

So what's the secret to getting the ROMs to take (AF seems to have a ROM.key), and to get UAE to run the best it can?

:huh:Targhan

AF comes with encrypted ROMs. The idea is to protect them from being used with free UAE, so you're going to need to "rip" the ROM out of the AF install because you can't use it directly.

As for slow, I don't know. AmigaUAE does not have JIT, so it's quite slow compared to WinUAE on the same machine, even if run under Amithlon.

thanks much.  I'll try that.. Off to aminet ;-)  There's a rom ripper there somewhere. :-D

Why not use transrom? It should be there in the base UAE package, and as it's an AmigaOS utility, it'll work from whatever source you have, including the AF distro.

Hmm.. I didn't see the transrom tool in the AF directories anywhere :-(

Mine's here:

D:\Program Files\Cloanto\Amiga Forever\Emulation\shared\amiga_utilities\

Found it.  Thanks.  Now for adventures in AmigaOS1.3-land ;-)
