best emulator solution for old paltop?
« on: November 06, 2006, 08:49:05 AM »
I was recently given an old thinkpad 380ed (166mhz, 80mb ram 2gb hard drive) and I was thinking of turning it into a dedicated amiga emulator, having the os load straight into the emu, giving the illusion ofr an amiga laptop.

What whould be the best OS+emulator combination for such a maching?

I have currently msdos, win3.11, win95, win98, winxp. and am not afraid to download any of the free os's out there.

Am I likely to get any reasonable speed out of the emulator?

I'm not expecting a lightning speed situation here, I remember my old A600 was quite slow.

I'm hoping to be able to play some ye-olde games such as lemmings and cannon fodder. I gave fellow a go running from win95, it seemed a little slower than my old 600, but i might be wrong. The only thing is my laptop creen does not stretch lower resolutions, so 640x480 is centered witha black border around it :(

Depending upon the laptop, there should be a Function key (Fn+ something) that will stretch that out, or possibly a setting in the BIOS.  If it's a key, it will look like a little monitor, one solid monitor transposed with an outline of a monitor, or it may say "Screen" or "Font".


Neither :( Ill look at the website next.
