Title: ADF Image Executer
Post by: 3246251196 on August 11, 2006, 01:57:07 AM
I am guessing there is a program out there that will install on the AMIGA and be able to load an ADF and then run it (image wise); saving wasting a disk...

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You can use RAD: or FMSDisk (http://uk.aminet.net/disk/misc/fmsdisk.lha) to mount "virtual" floppies.

diskimage.device (http://www.aminet.net/package.php?package=disk/misc/diskimage.lha) is another good one. I recently switched to this from FMS - it's a little more intuitive, but can be tricky to set up.

EDIT: Correct URL

I haven't tried to boot adfs, I use disk image controll

This is bit of topic but I allways wondered why EUEA is so slow with 68k amigas

Could it just directly command cpu and custon chips, without emulating them?

I don't understand that either. It should be able to run as fast as Shapeshifter. Actually, it should be able to run faster, as it can use Paula directly instead of emulating sound.

E-UAE 68k is just a 68k port of E-UAE, it emulates everything. If you want E-UAE to profit from the existing 68k and custom chips, you have to write a special version of E-UAE which does this. This will probably be as much work as to write a new Amiga emulator from scratch.

BTW, WHDLoad does exactly what you want.
