I installed E-UAE on my linux machine today. Pretty nice program. Not anywhere nearly as good as WinUAE, as you can't do the real Amiga stuff, such as setting up hard drives, but with that said, is a great emulator to run on a linux box. Linux users should give it a try. It is nice to be able to run the emulator outside of VirtualBox, on the native OS.

I have one installed in on my PS3 YDL v6.2. The emulator works great with full speed and WHDLOAD, the only thing I didn't do is SYSINFO on it.
I did had a hard time setting up the HD in a folder, the file properties did not transfer very well, so I'm running on hard-file.
-
I got a hard drive done once in either UAE or E-UAE but I remember it being kind of a hassle. Mostly, because I was using a folder as the hard drive, some game installers would protest, as they would read the size wrong.

You should try FS-UAE (http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae) Best Amiga Emulator under Linux ;)
Don't hesitate to try development version (very stable..) http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/download-beta
:)

Finally figured out how to edit the config file to use .hdf files in E-UAE. Downloaded FS-UAE, it is really nice. Much easier to change config. Pretty straightforward as far as syntax, and has directories for things such as hdf files, adf files, and so forth, without having to create them, and then set path for each. Thanks for the info on FS-UAE.

I've used euae on my linux box for awhile. I have it start os3.x amd I have something like like 5,000 amiga games, thousands of amiga apps, and 5000 amiga demos on that install.
I keep a backup of the amiga folder on a 16gb usb thumb drive so I can use the same amigaos install on any other machine. Its nice.
I have been meaning to get a huge collection of adfs so I can just start games/apps and so on straight from the linuxs desktop without going through amiga os, but I suppose I kind of like the amiga os install. My more commonly used amiga stuff should be installed that way though, because takes awhile to navigate through everything otherwise.
I have not seen this fs uae before, I'll give it a try.

We just had a great time last weekend with Super cars and Nuclear War on PS3. While EUAE is not nearly perfect (actually very far from it as lots of stuff doesnt run or runs with graphical glitches and rarely at full speed, do you have much frameskip set?) it still offers good retro fun. I see a new version was released recently, will test it today when I get off work.

FS-UAE uses the latest code from WinUAE? That sounds great! Now if only someone would port Vice 2.4 over to Ubuntu 12.10 and up! The one on the Ubuntu software center is quite broken.

Unfortunately, it is really slow compared to e-uae. Hopefully future versions will improve.

Have you activated the JIT? When I remember right it is activated with a parameter.
I had setup a page for it:

uae_cachesize

Thanks for the hint. Seems to improve slightly, but still much slower than e-uae.

I made a small lame benchmark with the famous "AKsack.wav" ;)
Result (both with JIT enabled):
FS-UAE: 16:59
E-UAE: 1:24 min
As you can see, there is a huge difference in speed.
By the way, on the host system itself without UAE (Core 2Duo E8400 @ 30 GHz, Ubuntu 12.10), I get the conversion done in 0:06 min. This result is equal to a 2.5 GHz G5 under MorphOS.

I am not a FS-UAE + Linux specialist (I use WinUAE). The developer and many user are on eab.abime.net
Link: http://eab.abime.net/support-fs-uae/
perhaps someone there has a tip for you

Well, I just benchmarked WinUAE aswell. Under Wine, on Ubuntu. Surprise: Even with one additional emulation layer, it is faster than the "native" UAE derivates: Conversion is done in 0:46 min. :lol:
Overview of all results:
FS-UAE: 16:59 min
E-UAE: 1:24 min
WinUAE (Wine): 0:46 min
Ubuntu native: 0:06 min

A keyboard support improvement would be a great idea.

AROS native on that machine: 0:09 min. Not that bad...
