Program to take screenshots of copper rainbows?

Hmmm..WinUAE, huh? (..said while scratching head and looking at ceiling..) Never heard of it. Does it run on an Amiga 500? ;-)

Well....

You could use the Amiga port of UAE (sounds stupid, I know :-D ) but you'd have to duplicate your install inside the emulator and it'd be verrrrrryyyy slow unless you've got a fast 68060 or something (not that speed would matter for taking a screenshot).  Also, you'd need enough colours in the palette to be able to display the copper generated colours "normally" - since you're using an 8 colour screen I doubt that you've got RTG ;-)

There's an Amiga port of UAE? How bizarre.

Apparently its great for use on heavily expanded systems that aren't fully compatible with games written for the A500.  I don't have that problem on my fairly meagre setup myself though  :lol:

Why don't you send your config to someone else with the hardware to make a screenshot?

I've never tried taking a screenshot of something where one of the colours has been replaced with copper-generated lines, but I guess that the copper-generated bits just come out as a flat colour?  If so, why not take a screenshot normally then send that and the details of the copper list to someone with UAE - presumably if they set up the screen identically they could get the copper adjusting the "right" colours of the palette and reconstruct it that way in order to take a screenshot?  This better look good though :-D
