I'm not sure how the UAE component came into being and who created it and whether this was done under license from Tobias and Alex, but at least one manufacturer (Elbox) reverse engineered the P96 interface without paying for the license, very much to the dislike of Alex and Tobias. Which, in one way or another, let to the halt of development. Thank you, Elbox!



Brian King created it...

So Cloanto did their homework. Good to know, and I did not expect anything else. But what exactly does that prove concerning the matter whether the UAEGfx driver is legit and based on the SDK?

I am not sure about original version (I think it was by Brian King) but new version since 1.5 is by me. There is non-public device driver "document" (that lists all functions and parameters + header files) that explain how to develop drivers.

Unfortunately it have absolutely no information about RTG.

Do not ask me, I am not allowed to distribute it. (anyway, you can "reverse-engineer" that information from winuae sources..)
