E-UAE v WinUAE (WINE)

[bloodline]

I was a bit bored the other day and thought I'd try WinUAE under WINE.

Not only did it run, it actually outperformed the native E-UAE version on my system quite significantly, both for CPU performance and graphical operations. Just a thought for any linux users wishing to run an emulation on their machine.

Does WINE still offer static linklibs, so that you can compile Windows Apps to UNIX without the need for the WINE runtime?

Doesn't WINE simply forward systems' APIS? Why compiling anything??

It does, but it still needs a runtime... which the user must install first, before they can run the Windows program.

Since Toni has no plans to port WinUAE to UNIX, but does provide the source code, a Statically compiled WinUAE with WINE would require no WINE runtime installed on your chosen *NIX clone.
