UAE for the wii Version 1 Released - Amiga Emulator for Nintendo Wii

***wraggster*** · May 14th, 2009, 20:45

DCEmu Member and Coder SimonKagstrom has today answered the Dreams of many emulation fans on the Nintendo Wii by today releasing the first Amiga Emulator for the Nintendo Wii on our Forums:

Heres the release notes:

UAE is a famous Amiga emulator ported to the Wii. The previous port of UAE never released source code (as required per the GPL) and has therefore been removed from Wiibrew. This project is not related to that. UAE Wii can be found on googlecode at uae-wii.googlecode.com, and is based on the source code of E-UAE. The port uses SDL Wii.

Installation
Untar the binary release on your SD card, which gives you a structure as follows:

uae/
uae/uaerc
uae/floppies/
uae/roms/
uae/harddisks/
uae/saves/
apps/uae/
apps/uae/boot.dol
apps/uae/...
Amiga kickstart images go into uae/roms/, with the default name from uaerc being kick.rom. You'll need to download this yourself. Thereafter put your floppy images in uae/floppies/ and you are set to go.

Configuration
UAE is very configurable, so take some time to lookup how the configuration file format works. You can bind keyboard keys to the wiimote buttons etc that way. See the examples in the supplied uaerc.

Usage
Wiimote 1 acts as both mouse and joystick in port 2. Button mapping should be filled in here.

Changelog
Version 1
Initial release
This version has only received light testing and there will be bugs
Graphics look bad in Workbench, but hey - who cares about that?
There is a menu, but few menu options actually work. Patches are welcome!

I just downloaded this from google code!

Quick test and battlechess seems to run perfect (no skipping on animation and sound!).

Time to get testing!

Thanks in advance.

Im well impressed, after messing with the config file, I have managed to get everything full speed or as near as damn it.

This is great, long live the amiga.

Im seriously tempted to setup the Wii sdk/toolchain.

cheers.... paul

I've just tried Fol's config file for this emulator and it seems to have sorted out the choppiness for most games now (Rodland and stuntcar racer seem to be full speed). For anyone interested you can get that file here: http://pspplayground.condor.serverpr...;topicseen#new

Now if someone could keybind the R button on the classic contorller so that it uses 'right shift key' then I'll be able to play North & South!

Hell yes! Thanks Simon for working on this! This will make my weekend. I will be doing some major testing. So hardisks work with this version of UAE? Thanks again for all your work.
