Perfect, I dont think so. WinUAEx is very very old version of WinUAE, and quite buggy. It had to be, the latest WinUAE source was too slow on an xbox. Still good though.

What can the minimig do that UAE on xbox or psp cant?

MiniMig vs Xbox : More accurate emulation, non interlaced pictures.
MiniMig vs PSP : More accurate emulation, run at full speed, decent sound.

To be honest, if you're asking these questions, you should NOT invest in a MiniMig.

Not only that Alexh.. but WinuaeX has ceased being updated.

Development hasnt ceased completely. It's just it cannot be updated any further. The next WinUAE core update above the one WinUAEx uses proved too slow for the 733MHz Celeron at the heart of the xbox. XPort wasn't going to pick through the code to see what emulation improvements effect speed and which dont and try to merge the two. If you wanted to suggest changes with technical feedback I am sure they would be implemented if they didnt take too long.

Not only that but the 68000 has to be emulated on the Xbox, Minimig is using *REAL* 68000 opcodes.  Thats a speed boost RIGHT THERE.

Erm... WinUAEx is emulation, MiniMig is an FPGA/CPU implementation. You cannot really make a "speed" comparison.

WinUAEx has A1200 AGA support ;-)

WinUAE 1.4.4 (22.09.2007)
Looks like its still very current to me.

That's the PC version. WinUAEx v16 is based on 0.9.x I think.

I just picked up a used Xbox, I'm looking forward to trying out AmigaSYS 3. http://amigasys.extra.hu/eng/index.html

AmigaSYS 3 is not an emulator. It is just a collection of software and patches (that they didnt write) for the Amiga.

It just so happens you can use it on the Xbox because it has an Amiga emulator WinUAEx.
