Hi guys,
I have a question:
Well - I was having problems with the audio becoming choppy when I would move to full screen in Amiga Forever to play games. So I decided to try to export all my system, game and ROM files out and use FS-UAE. That fixed the problem, when playing the games in FS-UAE in full screen the audio is fine.
Now, I don't know much about how much of the different RAM (I.E. chip, fast, slow, Z3, etc) each Amiga system could support. I'd like to setup configurations in FS-UAE for each system (A1000 through A4000) with as much hardware support as each system could manage. What I mean is, since I don't know, I would bump the different ram up in some systems, and either Workbench would not load on a A4000 setup, or a A500+ would guru out because of it or something...
Could someone tell me the different max hardware setups of each system. Sorry (I've only had A1000's and A500's) my first Amiga (1000) was the only expanded system I had, it had 2 MB of RAM on the side of the case in the expansion slot. So I don't really have much experience with this.
Thanks! :-)
One of the great things about Amiga was expandibility through CPU slots RAM boards and Zorro slots
Therefore an A500 could be anything from a 68000 cpu running at 7 mhz and 512 k ram to a 68040 @ 40 mhz and 64 MB RAM and everthing in between And then you have the Zorro slot machines which can add sound cards, graphics cards, network cards, video cards like the toaster. It creates many permutations and combinations.
The thing is software made to run on the 512 k 68000 A500 may not run on the same machine when expanded.
On the other hand, the same software may run much better.
And on emulator where you can have 8 MB of chip ram, you can even run software on hardware specs that didn't even exist on actual machines and it will do things real machines could never do.
So even if you had a a list of maxxed-out Amiga's, and then emulated them, you still won't know until you tried if a specific piece of software will work, or what, exactly, is the spec that breaks it.
