WinUAE (Amiga Emulator) help...

Postby Kherr » Mon Jul 09, 2012 8:45 am

So I downloaded and installed WinUAE so that I could run the Amiga (was gonna record a vid if possible for HT) but I cannot figure out how to get it working. I get as far as the white screen with the Amiga Work Bench v1.3 and it shows a hand holding that disk and that's it. It won't budge any further. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, and I can't get the Amiga 3000 running on it, only the 500. OH, and our version is out of date, latest release is 2.4.1 not 2.2.0 >.>'

I'm trying to run the 32-bit version of WinUAE 2.4.1 on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 professional. Hope this helps.

So far this sounds about right to me, it's the normal Amiga screen, asking you to enter a disk.

It's been some time since I used WinUAE so I can't tell from the tip of my head what you need to do now. Probably you need to search where to enter the disk you want to run. Should be somewhere close to the place you entered the kickstart, which you already did, else it wouldn't say workbench 3.1

It sounds like you need to mount the game or demo disk image in the floppy disks FDO:0 then when you reboot the amiga the disk will appear in the drive and bootup.

Yea, that worked. Got Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 running perfectly. I just couldn't figure out how to remap the controls... they're all funky... :p

There is an option where you can map the joystick to different keys, I'm not sure if you need to do it every time, meaning you have to make a special saved setting for this, but I guess it is this way. WinUae is a little complicated in use but emulates very well
