Have you ever made a dedicated UAE machine?

Yes it does, which is another reason why I'd like one on this machine. I don't like this competition pro, its too clicky or something. I prefer to use a sega genesis controller or one of the others I had for amiga back in the day.
 
You can actually use an amiga keyboard/mouse and joystick with the new catweasel. Thats pretty awesome.

I tried this a while back with a spare PC I had around and it worked well, I tend to use WinUAE mostly for AGA gaming and setting up crazy Amiga configs to play with once in a while.

Most of the time, I prefer my genuine A2000 though.

I wish I had a Catweasel PCI. I would use it more.

I meant to ask, whats the specs on that machine ?
As far as processor, RAM and video card?

[Si P]

Haven't gone that far, just an icon on my desktop (UAE config) that boots into OS3.9.
 
Swish.
 
Has to be said tho, it still doesn't "feel" like my Amiga did. Perhaps that's a nostalgia thing though. Different mindset compared with my teenage years. Lusting over unattainable hardware, trying to do the best I could with Imagine with an A1200 with 8meg fast ram and an 020.
 
 
Sigh.

No, I run WinUAE under Windos XP.

[XDelusion]

Always a nice idea in theory, but in the end I always find my self going back to my real Amiga, or booting up Amithlon....


Ug, I can't even mention Amithlon without tears swelling up in my eyes. What a great idea that got smashed and eroded. :/

I would have thought modern day Amigans would be using a light weight linux distribution + wine + winuae (as it's the best UAE variant)?

Running Windows XP seems a bit overkill when all you need is ALSA+X (+ proprietary video drivers I suppose). Heck you don't even need a window manager really if you're that good...

That would give you a nice hardware abstraction layer, no excess app bloat and should run UAE quite fast without any other processes to worry about.

I guess these days even Amiga users settle for (virtual) Amigas with a bloated OS, having said that I'm half tempted to create a lightweight UAE distro myself

[EDIT]Doh I'd not/read about X-Amiga before writing this post. Please ignore.[/EDIT]

These 810,815 chipset computers I have seem to be incompatable with X-Amiga.
Grub has a problem finding the HDD.
It does partition and install though.

I got X-Amiga installed in Virtual Box. It shuts down after the X Amiga splash screen.
It shows , sending term signal, I think.
During install I get, garbage trailing EOF ignored.
Edit:
It has a 8042.c controler problem.
