E-UAE segfaults on Linux Mint 13

[Blizzard]

Anyone using E-UAE successfully on LM13 64bit ?   Sucks that I cant emulate under Linux at the moment.

Why not switch to FS-UAE? Its based on the latest WinUAE sources and E-UAE is getting old now. Not sure about ur error tho, Iv never had a problem running either on PCLinuxOS. If you must use E-UAE could you try a different build?

because its a pain in the butt to have to edit a text file to change settings, insert new disks etc..  Dont know if that functionality is there since the last time I used it.

There is now FS-UAE launcher which is supposed to give a WinUAE style interface for configuring options, Ive not used it tho as I just have a A4000/040 setup with AmigaSYS and WHDLoad games so i just setup it up once and be done with it.

Floppys can be easily mounted via the bulit in gui.

Also, as said if not tried WinUAE via Wine is another great alternative although I have always had issues changing between native & p96 graphic modes on the fly...

Well.. WinUAE "works" but sound is choppy.   I'm running this on a M1330 Laptop, 4gb ram, core2duo 2ghz.  

Even though E-UAE was dated, it worked much better than WinUAE.  Damn.  Hopefully the author of E-UAE replies to my email and fixes the problem.  Havent heard from him though.

EDIT: ok..just updated to the latest FS-UAE with the Launcher.. I like the interface.  Time to test :-)

EDIT 2:  meh.  not that great.  Sound gets choppy, game lags as if my system is too slow.  (SideWinder was the test game).

EDIT 3: lol...ok, if I use it in A4000 68040 mode, much smoother as if I was using an A500.

Have you got jit enabled? Makes a fair difference but dont think its enabled by default. I run it on a 2gb 1.8ghz core2duo laptop and get fantastic results.

I dont have that option in FS UAE Launcher.  I dont know if its enabled when I select "Amiga 4000/040".

Might be something you have to dig into the config file for... look for uae_cachesize which should = 8192.

Jit was available from versions 1.3.5 up x86 32bit builds only
