UAE
UAE is a computer
emulator which emulates the hardware of the Commodore Amiga range of
computers. A Commodore Amiga is a 16/32 bit computer system based on
the Motorola 680x0 CPU and a few specially
designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound
capabilities.
For "proper" use of UAE, you need some version of the
Kickstart ROM,
and some OS running on top of this (most likely some version of
the Amiga OS). However, there is a minimal free build-in Kickstart
replacement, and at least some demo disks are reported to run with it.
Features include:
- A 68000/010/020/040 CPU, optionally a 68881 FPU
- OCS, ECS and AGA Graphics Chipset (including
sprite-playfield
collisions)
- Up to 2MB Chip RAM and up to 8MB Fast RAM, or 8MB Chip RAM
without Fast RAM
- Up to 64MB Zorro III Fast RAM, independent of Chip RAM
setting
(68020+ only)
- Up to 1MB Slow RAM, for extended compatibility with problem
software
- Up to 8MB of graphics card memory, usable by software that
supports Picasso 96 compatible graphics cards
- 4 x 3.5" floppy disk drives (DF0:, DF1:, DF2: and DF3:).
It's
not possible to read Amiga disks, so these are emulated with disk
files
- A hard-disk: either a harddisk image file or part of the
native
filesystem
- Joystick support (with option of mapping joystick to
numeric
keypad)
- Mouse support
- Ability to run in various screen modes (for better display
quality or better speed)
- Full stereo sound support, consisting of 4 x 8bit channels
- Simple parallel and serial port support
- State-saving, you can save the state of your emulated Amiga
and
continue later on
