Need help with increasingly disturbing hardware problem

[ChrisH]

I have AmigaForever, but I don't have a PC and don't ever plan on buying one (I bought AF years ago when I had a work notebook to use). WinUAE is OK, but still far from perfect. I'd still rather use a dying real Amiga than a flawed emulation (especially if it's running on Windows).

You really should try a modern version of WinUAE on a modern PC (say 2Ghz with 1GB ram on WinXP) - you honestly won't be able to tell that it isn't a real Amiga.  Well, except for the fact that it will feel like it's using a 800+MHz 68060, and that you can have a high-res 24-bit display, and 16-bit AHI sound...

It will even emulate the floppy disk drive noise, for full effect :-)

@motorollin
I wasn't suggesting UAE, I was merly pointing out that his comment on UAE was waaaay out of date.

And sorry if every other thread gets a comment on UAE, but I don't usually read this site, so I had no idea.


Personally speaking, I've been using Amithlon & then WinUAE for over 6 years (since my BlizzPPC+BVision was unstable by design), and have never looked back.  I find it quite difficult to understand why someone would still want to use incredibly slow & unreliable hardware to do modern stuff like browsing the internet, playing/encoding MP3s, etc.

Any way, sorry for diverting the thread.
