Title: Games in window on(!!) OS 3.9 desktop
Post by: misio on August 11, 2005, 07:48:00 PM

I have a question.
Is it possible to play Amiga games in window on Amiga desktop? I mean that I'm starting game and it starts in new window.

Now the Amiga desktop is unloading I'm back to windows and there is a 640x512 window in which the game runs.

Gosh do You even know what I'm asking?

If you're using some PCI busboard, like Mediator and you have TV-card, you can sort of play games on a window. I don't think there are other solutions.

Another solution if your amiga is fast enough is to run UAE.  Then you can play games and/or gave a second desktop in a window ;)

OK I've got this file -> UAE-827-AOS68k.lha <- but I can't configure it.
It doesn't want to open gui and during loading settings from text file whole system crashes.
Can someone help me ?

Better forget it. There isn't fast enough classic amiga to run UAE at decent speed.

It's a cool toy though.
