I'm talking about any variant of UAE I could get hands on (uae,e-uae,fs-uae), all the same problems.

Everything but FS-UAE is not worth your time if you want to do more than boot a Lemmings disk image.

FS-UAE used to have a known problem with CPU emulation, they were discussing it over at EAB. Some 68k software Author even came up with Benchmarks to narrow down the problem.

Maybe you could help narrowing it down further.

No, there is no windows here, and no, I don't see why I should finance Microsoft for Amiga-usage.

You can run WinUAE under WINE. I'm not a big fan of WINE, but I had to access a HDF image with a nonstandard geometry, and only WinUAE supports that. Works perfectly fine, and WinUAE is noticably faster than FS-UAE, due to the bug mentioned above.

 I don't see options for JIT here. A tutorial is a nice thing to have, but a program that requires a tutorial to be usable is not.

You haven't used mmu.library in a while, I take it ;)

Guys, he doesn't want help, you're making this thread worse by offering suggestions (and it's painful enough to watch as it is).

He just needs venting, because all the other programmers suck so badly.

No, you really don't get the point. It's not about "how everybody else sucks", or "what can I do to convince him to make the emulator working".

Honestly, I stopped reading when you announced you'd never use UAE under WINE, because you don't support people who don't support Linux - just two mention in the next posting, that MS-Word "works perfectly under WINE".

Btw., just noticed you got a bug report here:
