Is there an easy way to use E-Uae on MorphOS?

[Fab]

I am used to using WinUAE.

Using E-Uae on MorphOS sucks because you have to use Shell to launch it.

Is there a nice GUI or frontend for it?

For something like UAE, GUI is rather pointless once you have things configured. The only thing you want is to run games/apps in a transparent way.

So, as said above, you can simply add an action for adf files and then UAE will be started when doubleclicking adf files (it takes 30s, and it's extremely handy). It's also possible to have a 68k binary to run inside UAE with a contextmenu entry in Ambient (but it needs slightly more configuration). All this is explained in the bonus/ directory.

The instructions are not very helpful.. For example there is no SYS/Prefs/Ambient/Filetypes/application folder as standard.

I created one and placed X-Adf in it but nothing happens when i click an ADF.

Any easy instructions step by step?

This directory exists if you have already configured some mimetypes for application family in ambient prefs. Otherwise, just create the directories. But anyway, you can do all this from ambient prefs->mimetypes and editing the application/x-adf node. No real need to copy the mimetype descriptor that way.

As a command string, i have:
run >nil: programs:emulation/uae/uae -f programs:emulation/uae/conf/a1200-hires.conf -0 %sp

All the options being configured in a1200-hires.conf (make sure to use absolute paths, preferably with PROGDIR: for things like rom paths).

First, which E-UAE archive did you use?
If you got mine, there's at least an explanation and default config files for A500 and A1200, "workbench" usage, and so on.

So, if you use them, just have kick.rom (A1200 3.x) and kick13.rom (A500 1.3) in the Roms/ directory, and from shell, you can type (from UAE directory):

e-uae -f conf/A1200.conf -0somedisk.adf -1someotherdisk.adf

If you need to configure things, have a look at the different config files in conf/.

Finally, you can bind UAE to Ambient with its mimetypes, which means you can start any adf by simply doubleclicking it. But we'll see that when you at least get UAE to work.
