WinUAE, de Windows-port van de UAE Amiga-emulator, is afgelopen woensdag voorzien van een update naar versie 2.2.0. Dit programma is in staat om een Commodore Amiga perfect te emuleren. Alle modellen, vanaf de allereerste Amiga 1000 tot en met de Amiga 4000, worden ondersteund. Houd er wel rekening mee dat de WinUAE zonder kickstart (boot-rom) of andere software wordt geleverd. Meer informatie kan in de Amiga Emulator FAQ worden gevonden. WinUAE draait op Windows 2000 en hoger en de download is iets meer dan 2MB groot. Naast de emulator zijn nog een kickstart, zeg maar de bios/firmware van een Amiga, en natuurlijk software nodig. Amiga Forever is hiervoor een mogelijke oplossing, met prijzen vanaf tien euro. Hieronder is te vinden wat er sinds versie 2.1.0 allemaal is veranderd.
Major Game Ports and Input GUI update (finally!):Other new features:
- Quick and easy Game Ports input event remapping support.
- Test mode, check built-in or custom key mappings quickly.
- Also includes simple autofire configuration.
- Game Ports mappings are always merged with Input panel configuration modes. For example when configuring a game pad, you can use Game Ports GUI for basic configuration and remap extra buttons using Input GUI. Possible compatibility issue with old configuration files in Configuration #1-3 mode. Workaround: set Game Ports mouse and joystick to none.
- Input GUI also includes quick test and remap options. Press any key, joystick or mouse axis or button and selected input target will be instantly ready for remapping, no more slow and manual searching.
- "Windows mouse" not supported in test or remap modes.
Bugs fixed:
- (Pointless) Max 1G Chip RAM support.
- 7zip SDK updated, XZ and PPMD decompression support added.
- Triple/Double/No buffering option added to GUI.
