But running WinUAE just works so perfect. My 2560x1200 screen it beutiful. Running mp3, torrents, browsers, msn, facebook all works like a charm.


Yeah, but for playing classic Amiga games it sucks! For instance, the sound is not synchronous with the game.

Not sure what lag people are having, have setup a WinUAE box and it is bang on. The exact same experience I get when using my A1200 with an Indivision.

Except on the WinUAE box hardware limits are no longer an issue, especially on a modern PC.

I have it setup on a core 2 duo box which handles it really well. Super quick.



OK, can you explain which WinUae (sound) configuration you have, please?

Seriously?  I 've heard this complaint for years, but I've NEVER experienced it (and I have both real Amigas and UAE).  I think it's just a matter of people not configuring (or at least tweaking) their UAE setup properly.  I get no controller or sound latency.  In fact, I think if I hid the PC somewhere and set up a real Amiga in front of the monitor, I could fool a real Amigan into thinking I was running from the actual hardware (the new WinUAE can even do scan-lines and CRT blur like a real 1084).

The same counts for you:

Depends on your hardware. I have low latency audio hardware, which has has lag down at between 5ms and 12ms for OctaMED in WinUAE. If you claim to be able to hear that... You are deluding yourself.

Oh and I'm really not deluting myself... ;)

As I have explained it many times before on Amiga.org, I don't feel like re-typing it all again. Here is one of my old posts:

Read the whole thread.  I was able to solve this guy's latency problems.


Thanks ral-clan. I'll try these settings and see if it solves my problems.

I dunno we allowed XXX in amiga.org forum! What about the children?

To put your mind at ease: There are no children here. Only adult lurkers. :p
