E-UAE is an Amiga emulator for Mac and Hi-Toro is a great front-end for E-UAE, making Amiga emulation easier than ever.

E-UAE Intel Binary:

apparently experimental, but i've been running it fine for ages now.
-
Hmmm... Never heard of this one... If the datestamp on this is correct it's quite old.
Got any page with any description from the creator?
-
well the last WIP version of e-uae -is- old, (27th March 2007) and as i say, i have been running it for at least 6 months now.
i got it from EAB, where i think maybe it was sourced from amiga.org or something? i think it was hinted at being from http://e-uae.de.vu/ or its author originally, but i cant be sure.
having used the universal build, i can tell you it operates exactly the same functionality-wise.
-
Intel build with CAPS/IPF support, and working Cartridge ROM support. (tested as working by myself)

-
That server is slower than Contiki on a C64.
-
Hmm... This is good.
I got it up and running and IPF files are now working,
but the emulator runs VEEEERY slowly...
Anyone else tried it?
-
but the emulator runs VEEEERY slowly...
sorry, but no it doesnt. It's as fast, if not faster than previous versions, and those were more than acceptable - and i only have the 2.2 MacBook, and i'm emulating full 020 and AGA without even using JIT. are you forgetting to use OpenGL rendering or something?
-
What do you mean sorry, no it doesn't. If I say it runs slow here, the chances are it actually runs slow here, you schmuck! ;) Anyway, I think I got it worked out, did some magic and wow - it's what we have been waiting for!
-
I haven't noticed much speed difference but now openGL acceleration is working fine in Vsync on my second screen.

This version is to me a BIG step forward. It fixes the joystick problems mentioned elsewhere, it runs fast (Pinball Illusions perfectly! :)) and it supports the .ipf format which was long overdue. Also keyboard input can now be controlled with Hi-Toro. Bring on Amiga Gamebase for OS X, please!
-
What do you mean sorry, no it doesn't. If I say it runs slow here, the chances are it actually runs slow here, you schmuck!
you said 'it runs slow' not 'it runs slow on my machine' .... so (as follow up posts, including your own, have shown) you're statement was factually incorrect!
sorry if you think i'm being pedantic, but i see this sort of broad-sweeping inaccuracy a lot through my dealings with the PSP/Amiga scene and it does bug me.
Anyway, Hi-Toro has now been updated to 0.5.2 as well. ;D
-
Alright, peace! :) Anyway, if you read the readme in the Hi-Toro archive you'll see what's new. The spotlight search is a big thing methinks!
-
Nice!
Unfortunately the only thing I use UAE for is file transfer, and there's no way of mounting a genuine Amiga drive in E-UAE, is there?
-
Does anyone know the program http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/ (http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/) ? It's a neat tool with which you can define keyboard or other events to a specified input device. It allows very complex operations, including logic, math and timer functions. I made for my system a layout that I could use the Joystick (Competition Pro USB) for inserting disks, switching fullscreen/window mode and more.
I didn't experiment too much with E-UAE, has it full AGA support? I'd like to run Worms Directors Cut on my Mac.
-
E-Uae runs AGA, yes. And the new intel version is veryvery good. You really should try it out. As for ControllerMate, thanx for the tip!
-
The new version which is only 2,9 MB? This one doesn't work on my system.

Hi guys, I've been running E-UAE for a little while, I'm not sure what version it is, but the file is dated 28 March 2007, and it works great (except for an annoying problem where the virtual keys seem to get stuck - which is a topic for another post). Anyway I recently discovered this site and saw the link to the Intel-only version of UAE from the homepage, which links to www.simplyamiga.com/uae/e-uae.0.8.29-CVS.20080608.zip
This file crashes on launch for me, every time. I've downloaded it twice, launched it alone and through Hi-Toro, but no go. Luckily I am using Time Machine and was able to recover my old working version. I'm using a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo Macbook running OS X 10.5 Leopard. Any clues?
-
Not sure if I should be starting a new thread or whether this is the only thread for E-UAE and Hi-Toro. I'll try here first. Anyway, I am enjoying the March '07 E-UAE and latest Hi-Toro on my core 2 duo macbook running OS X Leopard, but I have two issues I haven't been able to find forum discussions on:
1. Sticky virtual joystick/keyboard: When I'm playing games using the keyboard to simulate a joystick, one of the directional keys will often stick. The player sprite will keep moving in that direction until the key gets unstuck. I can unstick a stuck key by holding the stuck key down then pressing another key, but it's often too late to prevent in-game disaster.
A secondary keyboard issue I have is that it doesn't seem to recognise my 'T' key - and possibly others, I'm not sure. I only noticed it when entering my name (Scott) into score tables. These issues occur no matter what keyboard I use, whether my laptop keys or an external one. I'm 99% sure I have standard American keyboards and layouts.
2. I have recently discovered E-UAE's Save/Restore State functionality. Although the key presses are extremely awkward to do on a laptop keyboard (it would be SO great to be able to remap E-UAE's keyboard shortcuts) it seems to work very nicely. The problem I have is that now every time I start E-UAE whether by itself or from Hi-Toro, it automatically loads one of my saved states. So if I want to play anything other than that saved state I have to do a soft reset, boot to the workbench, and load another disk manually.
Is there any way to be able to have E-UAE only restore a saved state when it is told to?
Cheers,
Scott

The keys that don't work are assigned to the keyboard joystick emulation; remap them in Hi-Toro, or temporarily disable the joystick emulation in eUAE when you need to type something. (And the sticky keys thing bugs the hell out of me, too.)
(De-lurk. :D)
-
I know WinUAE lets you record the video/audio output (via DivX or whatever takes your fancy); does eUAE offer a similar feature? Is there something I can add to a uearc file manually, or is this a Windows specific trick?
-
X-Posted from Lemonamiga, sorry, but as a few people seem to be having problems I've knocked together a basic tutorial (http://baconation.wordpress.com/os-x-amiga-emulation-tutorial/) for setting up Hi-Toro/UAE under OS X; it's a work in progress and could probably do with some screenshots, etc., but hopefully it covers the basics. Hope it helps!

Probably a good idea to link to this Ultimate Amiga release in the new "parent" forum:
E-UAE For OSX Package 1 (http://www.ultimateamiga.co.uk/index.php/topic,4329.0.html)
