Questions about Amithlon and AmigaOS XL

[rhino]

Hi,

But you say that Amithlon "screamed"; do you mean it was faster than winuae in rtg emulation? It sounds logical as I understand that amithlon doesn't run Windows so this would free up the processor to run the amiga emulation.

I use Amithlon as my main Amiga system at the moment and have tried WinUAE with RTG as part of the Amiga Forever package. In my experience Amithlon is definitely faster than UAE on the same hardware and has a much more Amiga-like feel (hard to describe).

is there a way to use CGX as instead of P96 in winuae?

As I understand it, WinUAE has a special Picasso 96 driver which can access the a DirectX display as if it were a graphics card. As CyberGraphX has no such driver, it could not be used.

If you're interested, I wrote a feature on the various emulation options (Amiga Forever (UAE), AmigaXL and Amithlon) in Total Amiga issue 11. You can download this in PDF format from:
