Running PPaint under E-UAE on OS X

[uncharted]

Hey guys, I see this place has gone all fancy-pants now .  I'm glad my log-in still works.

I've started to get back into pixeling again after a long break from doing it.  I've been playing with various tools on OS X, everything from Photoshop to Pixen (which is designed specifically for pixel art).  However, none of them quite do it for me, and I'm thinking about going back to my old weapon of choice - Personal Paint 7.  I've got an old Amiga Forever CD with everything I need, but I wanted to ask a couple of questions before I sink a chunk of time into trying to get it all working.

Where can I get the latest E-UAE from?  Evil Rich's page hasn't been updated in nearly 2 years, I vaguely remember something being released more recently than that.

Every other time I've tried to use Win-UAE or E-UAE on a laptop, I've always ended up with the fan going full-blast after about 5mins.  Is there any way of limiting how much host CPU is being used?  I don't need vast amounts of speed, I'll be sticking solely to PPaint on a bare OS 3.1 install, an 020 should be enough I'd imagine.  I'll be running it on a 2.0GHz Alu Macbook (running OS X 10.5).

Is mouse-tracking, particularly in full-screen mode still broken?  Last time I used E-UAE on my old iBook, the mouse would constantly screw up.

Any show-stopping bugs that I should know about?

I'm also going under the assumption that my Wacom tablet will just work with UAE without any additional help.

Thanks in advance.

I guess it's not to be.  I thought I'd give it a crack for old times sake, and while getting things up and running far less painful than I was expecting, it's just not usable.

I managed to find an Intel build of the latest version.  I hadn't realised that the version on Rich's site was PPC only.  Ismart, if you're running that version I'd strongly recommend changing to the Intel version (http://e-uae.de.vu/), which should not only run much faster on your macbook anyway, but also appears to have JIT available (although I didn't try it out myself so I'm not 100% on that).

Actually running it at realistic '020 speed with ECS was only using a fraction of CPU time, which was good - no fans blazing.

Unfortunately, both Mouse and Tablet are not unusable, even in full screen mode.  I was also having problems with display options (something that always trips me up in all versions of UAE).

Looks like I'm going to have to stick with Photoshop for the time being, at least until Grapfx2 is fixed to work with Leopard, and I can give that a whirl.

Thanks for the info.
