Where do I find Library's for Use in WinUAE ?
« on: July 06, 2003, 05:31:07 PM »
I know this isn't really an Emulation topic, but because I'm running my "Amig" under UAE, I thought I'd post the question here :)

I've been an Amiga user for quite a couple of years, although not recently (A1200 is packed away) and so I thought I'd get bk into gaming, thanx to UAE - I've been using it here and there to check out a couple of classic games and try out software that I've always looked at in reviews, on amiga.org etc but never could use because of the limitations of my Amiga and the fact that it is now packed away...

Neways to my question - Where would be the best places to look for Librarys needed in Amiga programs? For example I downloaded an interesting program called Backstreets from AmiNET - apparently it is a GTA clone and I fancied taking a look - the trouble is it needs guigfx.lib  and render.lib - where can I find them? If anybody can send them to me (as far as I'm aware they are freeware?) I'd be v.grateful!

Thanks,

Darren.

Thanx for the quick reply - gonna look for them now and see if the games works ok :)

While I'm here can I ask everybodies opinion on how to best set up WinUAE ? I have installed the latest revision of UAE and then installed "Amiga in a Box", but to be honest I'd prefer to set up my own system. Looks a bit daunting though! Any other options available?

For a program called "NewHomer" I found on the aminet I need narrator.device - I understand that came with Workbench 2.0 - where do I frind it from these days?  Its not on the aminet as far as I can see and I require it to run the homer program.  
Doh !!!  :-D   :-D   :-D   :-D  

Can somebody please explain to me why it is a .device file as well ? Was it written for some hardware of some sorts?

lol I wondered if changing my picture to the current one would see any responce! Yeah she's my gf - Jeni :)  :-D

Yeah I installed QuarkTex for WinUAE and ran the demo of payback under Warp3D - and I was impressed. A nice product and good to see what one man can do if he puts his mind to it - doubtful many solo PC Programmers could do that! Ran a bit slow on UAE though :(

As for my orginal Amiga - well my room is small and my PS2 takes pride of place unfrtunately - I would dig the A1200 out but I'm waiting for OS4 and AmigaONE. But I do have my eye on the new G5 PowerMAC....now there's a nice looking computer!  :-o

Thanx for the info - appreciated.

However the odds dont look good on getting my hands on an Amiga WB2 disk :( There is virtually no amiga user actively in my area - although thinking about it there is the South Wales Amiga User Group !

Oh well I'll just have to look around the aminet at the moment for other interesting programs to toy around with! Any ideas?

Haven't got long though - Jeni's home in a bit!  :-D
