WinUAE doesn't work

[bloodline]

UAE on my 400 Mhz Pocket PC takes at least 1-2 minutes of black screen just to go to a normal Amiga boot screen..

That's odd.. it only takes a couple of seconds on my PPC... :-? what version of Windows are you using?

Pocket WinUAE gives me the little LEDs at the bottom and the frame rates etc, but booting up to AmigaDOS takes longer.. I just timed it at around a minute. This is on a HP IPAQ 2215 running Windows (CE) Mobile 2003 1.5... I have a gawdawful amount of RAM in it too.. And I am on A 400 Mhz XSCALE processor..  Now on my AMD64 regular WINUAE only takes a few seconds..

A 200MHz PC with 1Mb of video ram and Win95 should be enough to make for a useable WinUAE setup at A500 speed, and should take no longer than an A500 to boot into Workbench (ie. about 20 - 30 seconds).  I was doing that in about 1998, quite happily!

I have an ATI Rage 128 Mobility in my laptop, it runs everything at 1400x1050 rock solid, including WinUAE (DirectX heavy games run at 1024x768 happily).  Old VIA chipsets generally run fine under Win98, I've certainly never had any problems.

While this chap's setup may be old, it's nice to see some recycling of old equipment.  While it's working it can be useful to someone, all it means you have to choose software to suit the age of the PC - just think back to when 400MHz was rippingly quick - not all that long ago ;-)
