UAE vs real A1200

[mikrucio]

winuae is great. however no matter how fast cpu you have
games that scroll wont look smooth (directx is crap!).
also full implementation of AGA is not what i call %100 the real amiga is way better in that regard. the real amiga has better sound aswell which is unusual because it's only 8bit!

but yeah winuae has come along way but not long enough.
there should be a program from within winae that calls the floppy changer. the windows floppy changer does spoil the illusion.

but with the offical release of version 1. hopefully it will be better.

OpenGL is definitely better than at this yeah, but it still is far from as good as a amiga, due to limitations in the pc design itself...


spot on!! man. but hey winuae is FAST though, alot faster than my A1200 anyway.

hmmmmm thanks for the tip iv got a spare AMD 2000 that i have not used with winuae before might, give better perf
than my 2.0ghz p4.

yeah i can lock up w2000 aswell.
iv made a really nice ntoskrnl.exe file if anyone wants it.
fully amiga hacked logos and logon screen. (sp1 and 2 only)

yeah vsync to 60hz works Perfectly smoothly on games,
exactly like a real amiga. but vsync on,
enables more precise
chipset timing in the emulation, and hence the emulation
suffers. like in workbench for example boot times and load times are greatly decreased i found. as with boot times and load time with games. it's pretty much as fast as a real 040 amiga 1200. loading from a standard IDE drive.

so the solution is only turn on vsync to 60hz for games.

i didnt write that queer. that supposed to be a quote..

but yeah i can run perfect winuae with no lagging at all.
exactly the same as the amiga. (1.93ghz p4)

the emulation is fastest with vsync off, however as i just mentioned vsync is only good for games and demos.
or anything that you want a perfectly smooth animation for.

AGA is not 100% implemented as their are artifacts in some demos and games regardless of the settings you use.

and yes you better believe this emulation has come a long way. and it will replace your amiga in the near future.
