New and Confused
« on: August 22, 2005, 07:15:33 PM »
I was looking for a long lost game one day and finally found it. The only problem was, it was in a file format i've never heard, thus is my first intro into the world of amiga. I have played this game on an old PC (cannot find it on ebay either) and had to settle for the amiga. Its really quite neat and I like it. Only one problem. It is sooo slow. Im using the newest WinUAE application. Is there settings I am not yet familar with? Any help would be appreciated. I have tried different emulators and so far this has been the best. Please help. I want to learn more, but user guides and manuals and stuff are still a bit hard for a complete newbie.

My laptop has a 2ghz Intel Celeron w/256mgs RAM running Windows XP(SP2). I am using WinUAE v1.0.0 I tried using the 9.9 version and it works about the same, so i stuck with this one. Im trying to run a Sierra Game(i think they are the best gameing company) Hoyles Book of Games 3. I have the .adf files handy so if anyone wants to try them and see if they run slow for them as well. It could just be me. I tried altering the priorities and different kick starts, but only one really seems to work, but its darn slow and a bit unstable.

I've run emulators for different platforms (c64, nes, and so on) but this seems to be the most difficult. Its prolly just me though.
