MAXUAE vs E-UAE

[amigan24]

So my a500 just took a dive (see "wanted to buy") and I thought I'd give a crack at emulating on a Macbook in the meantime.

*sigh*

Maxuae runs perfect. No slowdown, all of my disks run BUT there's no audio!! Has anyone else encountered the same issue?

E-UAE ran semi decently but has gotten worse after several tries! Now it......is....ssssllllooooo....wwwwwww....and completely unusable..

I've tried many different combinations and it all just kind of gives me some piss-poor performance. Am I SOL?

Make sure you are using the latest E-UAE universal binary, and check the OpenGL option is on. This should give you a perfect expereince :-)

[amigan24]

while it helped with some things I'm now getting a "need more cpu power" message via musicline...

I'm using a Macbook for %$^@*'s sake! How much more do I need to emulate a computer older than some of my relatives? :lol:

[amigan24]

ok I give up. This isn't worth the headache.  :-?

[skurk]

Is it a MBP?  Sure you aren't running the PPC binary?

I'm using E-UAE on my MBP, and it runs smoothly.  Try downloading the source and compiling it yourself.

I looked at "get info" and it said it was a power pc app..wtf? Should this be? Mind you I usually don't emulate systems so you might need to explain this to me like a child. I specifically used the OSX binary. Also it's just a MB no MBP here!

This is an intel version of E-UAE that I have compiled for MacOSX 10.4 it will run perfectly on your MB. Make sure you have the opengl option set.

I've just downloaded, and tested it on my spare MB... it works fine... simply replace your existing UAE.app with this file...!

I honestly don't know what you are doing wrong...

What happens when you double click on the icon?

[amigan24]

First I really need to express my gratitude for your assistance. Thank you very, very much!

Second..when I double click the icon nothing happens. Simple as that!  :lol:

[bloodline]

very odd... at the very least you should get a requester looking for a config file...

Ok, "get info" and tell me what you see...

the Kind should be Application (intel)
the Size should be 11.1MB
the Version should be 0.8.29-WIP4

[amigan24]

yeah...same on this end but no requester.

strrrrange!  :-?

The thing that baffles me is that it says I need more CPU power in musicline editor and that I experience major slowdown in programs like octamed.

Demos run fine along with games.

Weird.
