Amiga on EEE PC
« on: April 23, 2008, 01:58:29 PM »
I just thought I would make a thread about Amiga Emulation on the Asus EEE Pc.

Set Up: winuae, KS/WB 3.1, classicWB P96
This is the current set up I am using and it works very well indeed.

Planned for realease in 2008. Development remains intense on additional features and add-ons, and more surprise announcements are planned for 2008.

I have never used aminthlon so I tried to boot the cd and got to a section with a bouncing ball. I have got to the stage it displays this message :
Reboot in progress. Phase 1 (68040 Soft Reset)
Reboot in progress. Phase 2 (GFX Reset)
Reboot in progress. Phase 5 (emulator crash?)

AROS - http://aros.sourceforge.net/

I thought I would try the Aros live cd and it only reached the screenmode selection as none of the screen modes are supported. A bounty has been made for Aros on EEE.


AmiKit - http://amikit.amiga.sk/

Working on EEE Pc check this topic for a guide on how to run it in correct screenmode

Not sure how UAE works in linux as i have never used it. I am using winUAE on windows xp. I simply load the rom file pick a hdf (hardfile) and load in some of the adf (programs or games i want) by right clicking on the system tray icon when its winuae is working. This means i can run and install many programs like dpaint and other greats.

So far i have installed octamed sound studio with only one issue which is slight keyboard delay but other then that it runs very well. All this can be ran off a usb stick or sd card.

@ novaburst

Looks like a nice machine I like the look of it. Yeah I would also like to run the amigasys on eee pc but as I have xp installed i cannot run the linux amigasys. I am sure updates are going to come out for the pre configured system. The demmand is there and they just fit notebooks so perfectly. The only issue is screenmode so if there was a way of forcing them to open in a mode with scrolling it would be a cool temp fix or edit a ini file or something (I am new to uae).

Yay I have now managed to get AmiKit fully working on my EEE Pc :)

Here is a guide on how to change the settings for the 800 x 480 screenmode.

1) First download and install amikit http://amikit.amiga.sk/
2) Install roms and operating system with standard installer in 800 x 600 screenmode
3)Close amikit after instalation and the click on the amikit icon then click configure WinUAE then change the values to screenshot to the ones in the pic

save the settings to the winuae config u are using.
4) Load amikit and use fn + f6 to go to windows and use the Asus EEE Pc utility to change windows mode to LCD 800 x 600 (Do this if you need to move the amikit screen about)  
5) Open Morpheuz and change the enviroment to Workbench

6) When amikit restarts open "amikit" and then "prefs" and select screenmode

save screenmode and exit
7) Then (still in the prefs folder) select "ShowAmiga96_prefs" convert image to the settings on the picture below and save

8) Restart amikit and play away :D + make sure u have you cd drive plugged in when u load amikit

Now it should look like this:
