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

http://uae-wii.googlecode.com/files/...acer-2-800.jpg

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!

also give feedback and thanks to Simon here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=207513

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.

Alien breed, turrican, swiv, rodland, moonstone, Pinball Fantasies, syndicate, north & south etc etc.

I'm gutted as my misses is watching her shite on the tv so I can't get on my wii now. lol

This is great :-)

Frontier elite II is missing from the essential list

paul

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.

Can someone please help me out with this?

So far managed to change only the cpu speed from 68000 to 68020 (a1200) but how do i change to AGA and ram?

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.

I don't know if harddisks will work, this is something I haven't tried (and really don't know how to do), but please try it out :-)

it just hangs at the work bench logo for me with kick rom 1.3.


edit: haha nm press home :)

Can someone post FOL's config here too?

+1

I was about to ask the same thing as i can't see the link on the other site and can't register either so yeah someone please post fol's config please

paul

I've integrated (parts of) it in the current svn trunk, so you can read it at

http://uae-wii.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/uaerc.wii

(Well, unless he's made more changes since then :-)). The plan is to have a good default config for the future.

I can't test this yet, but I'm hoping to be able to play Worms Deluxe and Alien Breed 3D amongst other FPS's and classics for the AGA chipset.

I am anticipating AmigaSys packages to show up for this...

AGA works fine, as my config file shows.

I was only playing around lastnight, it was late. Ill work on it some more over the weekend, Ill also set myself up to compile Wii UAE source.
(Not much is happening with PSPUAE, Im sort of stuck, plus UAE Wii is very close to PSPUAE source).

HDD support would rock, but there are other things that need sorting, like the GFX glitches on KS screen. Plus as simon said alot of menu options dont work. As well as savestates.

I would love to see AmigaSYS on Wii UAE, :).

Anyways, If I sort a better config, Ill post it on the major sites, so everyone can get em.

@Simon, Ill sort an account out on the weekend.

@PSPUAE fans, I havent dumped PSPUAE. This is a break I need, cause I was starting to get bored of getting nowhere.

For anyone that wants fol's current config I've uploaded it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L1HXYN68

Makes me wonder if working on the Wii Port may help the PSP Port and Vice Versa, thanks to both Fol and Simon for making a lot of people happy on forums all over the Wii Scene :)
