wow i didnt realize just getting pUAE running was miraculous in of itself. It's a HTC Universal, 64MB RAM, 500MHz ARM, hardware keyboard, 640x480 screen.
Hardware keyboard means that i dont need to rely on the half baked on screen keyboard pUAE uses but to map the function keys i had to use a background service named pqzII (using which is also a science unto itself!) will post the details of the working emulation here tomorrowish.
anyway, still stuck in the same boat, i can run the floppy disk edition fine in pUAE, but it crashes when attempting to load a saved game. I can run a whdload'd image (i got it into 4mb) on winUAE fine inc loading and saving but wont start bloodwych on pUAE, just gurus. soooooo close!
