reliving my childhood...

WinUAE - absolutely amazing.

I have just rediscovered this amazing piece of software, having once discarded it as a viable alternative to a real Amiga about 6/7 years ago. The emulation in those days really was absolutely awful. But now, it is absolutely superb! Practically every single one of my old games runs perfectly well. I can't really think of any reason to keep my old A500 now - I'll probably sell that on Amibench now!

Shadow of the Beast, Pinball Dreams. OMG - GODS! I feel so happy again...

I'm guessing that Amiga OS 4.0 will have UAE integrated, and that the level of emulation will be just as good, if not better than WinUAE - would I be correct? If that's the case, then my sister will definitely be inheriting this PC, and I will get myself a nice MicroA1 (when they become available)!

I love Amiga...

Damn, that is a shame. I'd be fine with running UAE on top of OS4, but I am concerned about what I have heard about WinUAE versus other version of UAE. Apparently, non-Windows versions of UAE are not as sophisticated as WinUAE. Painfully ironic how the new Amiga would not be as good at running Amiga software (classic stuff) than a Windows based PC  :-(

That's true HotRod. I guess I'm just assuming that when people say WinUAE is more sophisticated than other UAE's, they mean that it is better able at running old games. If that isn't the case, then I'm still on for a uA1 with OS4. Damn, I just can't wait!

Anybody know when the uA1 is likely to come out, and when the final version of OS4 is gonna be out too?

[captainmoomoo]

so i could be running Amiga OS4, hopefully on a uA1, by the end of the year, or early next year, possibly...

WICKED

yeah, i was thinking about Experimental UAE too. Hope this works out...
