Title: Hi To All AMIGANS
Post by: gizz72 on March 29, 2004, 09:27:38 AM: :-D My first time to post on forums :kitty:
Greetings...
I got an A1200/30 16Mb Rams. IDEFix with CDRW and 2G HD OS3.1.
Thinking of Expanding my options for an A1 or A mini A1 some day, if I could get enough cash. 8-)

* I'm Just wondering how will I still run those classic games on those new machines(A1)? If not, I will sure miss it. :cry:
* How about the joypads? Will it work also work?

Not natively, but through UAE (http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/) (the Amiga Emulator). Thus you can emulate all the custom chips that are not present in the new motherboards. You really don't have to worry, a G3/G4 is fast enough, so it performs well.

The Joystics (the good old ones) can be used with a Catweasel (http://www.jschoenfeld.de/products/cwmk3_e.htm) card, the new ones (joypads with analog sticks etc. etc.) can be used with USB ports.

Thanks for the Advice. Thought, I have not tried, or get the feel the speed of a native G3/4 yet. But tried UAE,for me, It's different from the real machine. :-)

I've been using a Sega turbo pad for a long time(It's the only thing available here). I'm hoping Catweasel is also comapitible to it. Thanks again :-)
