AmiBox UAEX Update, and XBOX Amiga controller hack!
« on: June 16, 2003, 11:53:41 AM »
There has been an update the the XBOX port of UAE, which now includes Hard Drive support at long last! There home page is here:

http://uaex.sourceforge.net/

 Secondly I wanted to post information about the new hack that can be done to the XBOX Joypad that allows you to plug in an original Amiga joypad into the back of it which I believe should support CD32 pads!

Uh... WinUAE has had CD32 support for ages (assuming you have the ROMs)...

Oh my, how rad is that!

I really, really, must get around to mod-chipping my x-box!

I bought my XBOX used (so as not to directly support M$) about a year ago, and put a MOD chip and 120GB Hard Drive in it right away and have not had any regrets since. :)

 I was looking at those plans for that port adaptor for the XBOX Joypad, and unfortunatly it looks like it is only designed to support 1 button, but it is so simple, I don't understand why all the buttons could not be made to work. As for me, I am quite happy using the XBOX control pad over an old Amiga joypad. :)

 I have stayed up all night messing with the latest release of this emu, and I have to say it is a nice update since version 0.7. The speed is still your basic 020 speed, it still does not seem to support Picasso96, JIT, or any of the fancy things that WinUAE has, but it is catching up slowly but surely! People in the forums claim to have gotten OS 3.9 running on it, slowly, but running none the less, but for me it would boot, but not load the icons. :/

 I did set up OS 3.1 and that ran good, pretty much like a stock Amiga 1200. I installed MCP, Visual Prefs, Class Act, Magic Menu, Happy Env, King Con, and a few other tweaks and everyting is running pretty well, though I wish he would just add in USB mouse support instead of forcing us to use the Joypad for that too. On the good side of things, the Keyboard does work fine.

 Every Hard Drive game I installed ran PERFECTLY, Demos run great, Floppy Games run great, everything is awsome, just can't wait for some updates like I was saying, cause Genetic Species and Gloom DX would be very welcome. What would be really kool is if they added in drivers or something for the XBOX's ethernet port....

 Anyhow, please visit dude man's page and sign up for the forums there. We already have a few "real" Amiga users, but we could always use more. :)

Well.. Xbox ain't anything great but with those Mods it can be used for something real and potentially usefull. Like a Linux machine or Amiga emulator.

I'm finally convinced, just got back from the shop with my brand new XBOX, now I just need to find a suitable place to hide this ugly box, damn I hate this design. Modchip is also on the way  :-D

Kool deal, if you need any help feel free to msg me, aslo here are a couple links to get you started:

xbox-emulation.co.uk (not too crowded, but stays up to date, and I MOD here) :)

xbox-scene.com (very crowded, but the center of it all)

 ---

 Wish I had that SDK too, then I could just compile the stuff myself, instead of having to wait a couple days for someone else to do it.
