Homebrew RELEASE [RELEASE] Amiga Emulator UAE4All2 for Switch

hippy dave · Nov 12, 2018

To put it another way, if you've downloaded a whdload game that's in an .lha archive or whatever, it needs to be unarchived onto a virtual amiga hard disk so the virtual amiga operating system and whdload software can run it. If you don't know your way around the amiga operating system, using one of the ready-made bootable .hdf images is probably easier.

Whdload is a software, not a device (HDF = HDD image)/floppy disk (ADF = floppy disk image). See documentation here : http://whdload.de/docs/WHDLoad.html

Yeah i have a load of roms that worked with whdload on my raspberry pi, but they dont seem to load on this emulator. Do yours run on this emulator? If so how did you get them to run?

Yes I only use whdload, floppies are too slow and switching between Kickstarts and chipset is a pain

I did nothing more, I share all my systems between real Amiga's, Winuae, this emu and others such as FS-UAE on Mac. I think there is something wrong with your setup.

Do you get any error when double clicking on the game icon ?

I think Hippy Dave has explained it for me now! I wasn't lucky enough to have an amiga with hard drive when growing up! I thought you were running the games from the emulator, it sounds like you are booting into workbench and then installing your games.
No matter - i have a load of hdf games now and can try my adf version of supercars2

Quick question about CD32 software. I’ve noticed that most of the CD32 games in WHDLoad actually work fine on this emulator. Is it simply the case that the WHDLoad versions don’t use the Akiko chip and thus are essentially A1200 games, or does the emulator actually emulate Akiko?

It doesn’t emulate Akiko. There’s just no game that ever used it or at least I cannot think of a single one. Maybe Microcosm?

sj33 · Nov 13, 2018

So fundamentally any CD32 game should just work on an A1200? Didn’t know that.

I've made a custom controller mapping that I'm pretty happy with, except that the custom autofire button under misc doesn't seem to save to a general config, so I have to reset it every time I start up the emulator. Is this known? Something I am doing wrong?

rsn8887 · Nov 13, 2018

This is a feature, because it was too confusing to users to have an automatic auto fire button assignment. I might change this in the future, but, yes, it is intentional.

I think Microcosm (can be played on Megadrive/genesis), Gloom Deluxe (can be played on A1200) and Akira (not sure about that one). So not a big deal

Yes, any Amiga 1200 with an CDROM drive attached to it can play CD32 games (Part of IDEfix97 software if I remember well). In fact pretty much all Amiga games have a piece of the workbench inside their architecture, meaning it can be played on all Amiga if they match the required specs. You can read CDTV games on CD32 and on ECS Amiga too. Many CDTV and CD32 games have been converted to be used with whdload, however it cannot read CD audio tracks.

CTBC · Nov 13, 2018

Apologies for my ignorance, but why are there only 4 drives available for adf files in all amiga emulators ?

CrashMidnick · Nov 13, 2018

Because the real hardware will only work with up to 4 drives, it is a chipset limitation. AFAIR, 2 internal drives and 2 external drives can be used. Please note that not all games will support more than 1 floppy drive (Commonly called DF0

SLiV3R · Nov 14, 2018

Cool! Any N3DS version coming?

mrdude · Nov 14, 2018

Thanks for the update, now I can load my floppy images faster :-).

Cheers buddy.

Another great update, thanks!

Ooh I see you ported Enigma to Vita. Are you planning on bringing that to Switch? Are you perchance waiting for SDL1 to be ready?

petarku · Nov 15, 2018

jacopastorius · Nov 15, 2018

Yes. I can make it work with SDL2 I think, but it has many other dependencies like libcrypto. Those have to be ported first.

No longer showing all my roms, just me ?

Showing 3076 out of a total 4250

Where do you see that number? Are you using ExFAT, which can cause corruption?

Can you check if they all show in the previous version (1.75)? You can just replace the .nro file with the former version to test.
