Hello,
I'm a newcomer to the Amiga world. A while back I posted that I was interested in getting into the Amiga hobby. I was looking at getting an A1200 or minimig. I had many helpful responses. However, for the short term with the holidays coming up and $$ I am going to try out emulation. I'm hoping you could help with a few questions.
Any suggestions on a good joystick/gamepad that would work well with winuae/AForever and a pc? I've seen that some like the competition pro usb joystick but also read some comments about it being slow or unresponsive.
Is Winuae video card reliant? I have a few machines I could try it on. Both machines have decent processor speeds and ram. One has a basic video, either on-board or a basic card, the other has a Radeon 9800 pro. Was curious if a powerful card is required.
Lastly, how well does Winuae work on a 24inch lcd widescreen monitor? Some day I'd like to get one. For now I'll be using a 20" lcd non widescreen 4:3 monitor. I know the 24s can handle some high resolutions. Does full screen mode work well, especially with widescreen? I havn't been able to find any screen shots of the various video modes.
Thank you for all your help!
It doesn't seem to be video card reliant. It runs on a P3 1ghz machine with integrated video. A laptop one!
for controllers , as far as im concerned, I think a PS2 controller with a USB adapter is the best thing ever. The adapters are around 12$ and the controllers arent much more anymore.
and, monitor wise, it works great in full screen on a CRT, cant say much about an LCD though, I dont use em.
