YES!!!!! UAEX - Amiga emulator for the XBox

[Aido]

Now this I've been waiting for - someone has ported UAE over to the XBox.

They have also set up a project on Sourceforge to help develop:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/uaex

Saw the news over at Xbox-Scene - I've been waiting for this one for ages - thanks to whoever wrote it

Now to try those Amiga games again....

..:: Edit ::..

Shit! Looks like the call to default.uae (the config file) has been hardcoded to the cdrom drive - I can't test now cos I've got to be up for work early - if any of you get chance to confirm before I get home from work tomorrow could you please post here??

I've mailed the developer so I'll see if he can confirm it..

Cheers

ooh that is tremendous news i'll go give it a go right now, finally i'll be playing paradroid 90 for hours again :

ooh dungeon master

ooooh populous

the list goes on and on....

[Aido]

d'oh I'm a spacker!

I've spoken to the guy who wrote this, the emulator actually virutally maps everything to the d drive, so no matter where the files are on your hdd the roms are in d:\roms and the disk images in d:\disks

Works a treat, managed a quick blast before work this morning and it's looking top drawer!!

0.3 is out now so i'm about to install that after i've grabbed a beer

remember guys, you may need to patch this one to work in a retail xbox, i did......

..:: Update ::..

This is quality, have just tried the old Desert Dreams & Phenomena Enigma demos, work a treat, and have just tried out Chaos Engine, Cannon Fodder 2 and some others - all work great!

Who needs XBox games when you've got an Amiga Emulator & most of Tosec

Whats the speed like?

[_Belial]

speed is spot on, was playing a few games on it last nite and works a treat. Got a guru meditation witha couple of games but compatability and speed is most excellent

[Aido]

yep, been years since I've seen the guru meditation!

Now I can try all the old Grapevine mags & I need to find where I put that arsewipe demo (it's funny as ****!)

cannon fodder is going to get some hammer along with sensible soccer

everything runs in here at the exact same pace that UAE handled it on a real pc, i just need to play with the config file to get lotus 2 working...

[Raptor]

dont know if you guys remember NASP 1, 2 3 & 4 ?

NEW AMIGA SAMPLE PLAYER

was a bit like dance ejay but 15 yrs ago

well that was me (i was the blackjackson way back then)

i'd love it if anyone still have copies of these so i can try em on the xbox

[Aido]

thought I'd got pretty much every amiga disk going but can't find those - I'll have a look about....

,,:: Update ::..

You can download NASP in lha format from http://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/mus/play/NASP_1.lha

Can't find the compilations with samples though, sorry mate..

[_Belial]

ooh I remember arsewipe, that was proper funny

was watching jesus on e's earlier too, one of the all time classic demos

[Aido]

lsd were great, what was the kid's name who did that, erm echo wasn't it?

you can get hold of more of his mods at http://www.spoon***********/ - GRapevine had some shit hot music and I think the later LSD Docs had some quality tunes, can't remember nowadays...

any ex-lsd members on here as a matter of interest or anyone that could help me get a full set of the grapevine disks??

[Yazmon]

Slightly off topic, but if you want demomusic go to Nectarine (My personal favourite chip tune ever!)

For old and new demos a good place is Pouet.

Only reason i wanted this emu was the Jesus on e's Demo. Couldn't get it to work on mine tho matey, I put disk 1 in drive 0 and disk 2 in drive 1, but when it starts it asks me to insert disk 2.

Any advise you can give me mate cos thats a quality demo and i really wanna see it again.

[charlievarley]

[Robbo]

Thanks

I did exactly as you did, then when the insert disk2 thing came up I just pressed either X or A (cant remember if it was mouse click or joy click) and a few seconds later it carried on.

you could try just running it off 1 floppy drive, when it asks for disk2, press start then insert the 2nd ddisk into df0: it wont reset the amiga

[gimp]

Damn, I hoped it would be something else, I have tried pressing both those buttons, After a while it goes to a black screen then crashes.

I probably better download a different version and see if that works.

Cheers for that mate, i will let you know how i get on.
