  • Amiga Emulator: WinUAE 5.2.0
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Feb 2024
    FWIW, the WinUAE page has always been that minimalist.

    UAE was the Unix Amiga Emulator and the original source is now dead, but was forked years ago and the two main versions are WinUAE (for Windows) and FS-UAE (for Linux, Windows and macOS).

    FS-UAE has a website more like the one you're expecting: https://fs-uae.net/

    ...but the link here is to announce that WinUAE just got a new release, not to debate the relative merits of two competing forks of a project and their websites!

    If it helps anyone, here's a simple how-to for setting up WinUAE: https://www.howtoretro.com/emulation/winuae-setup-amiga-emul...

    https://fs-uae.net/ is pretty much the standard Amiga emulator on all platforms. You'll need to source the ROMs from the high seas.

    FS-UAE is based on WinUAE and multi-platform (i have it installed on macos and linux). But it seems to be lagging behind with the latest update being from 2021. https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae
  • Looking for easy and/or inexpensive setup to get data off Amiga 3000 with 100MB HD

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did see someone write about a battery leaking in a different blog post on a restoration, but I didn't know the battery leak was so common. I'm going to look at it (and remove) now. If the battery has already leaked and damaged the motherboard then I'll likely try using UAE to mount the drive on a PC via SCSI. I'm not familiar with UAE -- I see a github repo for UAE at https://github.com/bernds/UAE and also these sites https://www.winuae.net/ and https://fs-uae.net/ .. would I be able to mount the HD using winuae? Or would you recommend linux with fs-uae, or some other flavor of UAE entirely?
