Title: Back on My Macintosh, and not sure what Emulator to use
Post by: irishmike on July 12, 2006, 05:28:54 AM

Hello:

The Good News is that I am now back on my Macintosh Mini :-)  The friend that I sold it to 6 months ago wanted a good PC -- I wanted to dump the PC and go back to a Macintosh so long story short -- we traded.

Like I said, the interesting part was that I have the machine that I purchased in the first place :-)

Now to the question:  I need to find an Amiga Emulator as complete as WinUAE for the Macintosh, I have my own ROM images from my A1200 and I want to run a hardfile so that I have a virtual machine that is close to my real hardware.  This leaves out this program I saw called "maxUAE".  Not sure about E-UAE either... had it for Linux and it didn't really work as well as I would have liked.

What programs do people around here use with MacOS X (10.4.7).

Thanks for any advice... step by step to get EUAE running might be nice too.

Winuae is the best Amiga emulator
it can't be compared with other UAE ports
anyways I tryed E-UAE on linux cause they claim that have the good things of winuae....je je je je
pure crap

experiment a bit on your mac...try all ...mac-uae,euae
but don't dream that you will find something descent


bye, Laser

E-UAE is the best.
MaxUAE isn't updated anymore :-(

First runs fine on my Power MacG5

There isn't one.

Time to switch back again? ;-)

@Piru

We do not like Windows... one app is not going to break me, but it is a shame to loose the emulator capability for testing reasons.

I hate Microsoft sooo much.

Get a new Mac and dual boot Windows and WinUAE on that  :-P.

Yup, I use E-UAE on my iBook here,the only thing I miss sometimes is the JIT.
But even without that, Piru's WhichAmiga says it's approximately a 25mhz '020 , which is fast enough for most of my needs.

For those not on the E-UAE mailing list, EvilRich has released a new OSX/PPC binary from the latest source snapshot linkety link (http://www.rcdrummond.net/uae/test/20060711/E-UAE.dmg.gz)
 Don't forget you can also donate the link on his E-UAE page (http://rcdrummond.net/uae/index.html) to help keep him in beer (We all know beer is a good motivator  ;-) )

@doobrey

Thanks for the link. I agree, do support development!


@everyone

That will probably work out.
