- press R2 to activate virtual keyboard (vkb), release R2 to hide it.
If vkb is shown press left/right digital pad to select the current
key. Press the ´up´ digital pad button to actually simualte key press
of the current key. L1, L2, R1 ann CIRCLE buttons are user defined keys.
If vkb is shown press L1 to define L1 button, press L2 to define L2 button
and press R1 to define R1 button. Later on (when keyboard is hidden)
if you press L1, L2 etc. it will simulate assigned key press / release.
- joypad 1 (emulates joystick 1 and mouse 1)
- joypad 2 (emulates joystick 2) - if you want to enable 2-joystick mode, plug-in
the second joy pad, restart uae and switch the port mode to "joy-1 & joy-2" in the
options dialog.
- left analog pad emulates either mouse movement (by default) or joystick.
Press R3 (right hat) to switch between mouse and joystick control on left hat.
Speed-up of the mouse cursor movement can be changed in the options dialog.
- press Start to enter application menu, you can load ADF files from there.
- press CIRCLE to exit the application menu
Additional info:
- The program reads uae.cfg during startup. In this configuration file
you should specify all required parameters (memory size, kick rom, initial
floppy disk files, cpu core, chipset etc.).
- Files (kickrom, adf files) are accesible from either usb disk or internal disk.
- NTSC support: press and hold CIRCLE button during emulator startup to initialize
480 lines /60 Hz video mode. If it doesn´t work for you, you can press and hold
TRIANGLE button during starup to use the current video mode set in dashboard.
Make sure to change emulator options to actually emulate ntsc amiga machine by
setting ntsc=true in your configuration file or in options.
- Save states are stored in your harddisk directory
/dev_hdd0/game/EUAE00829/USRDIR/SAVE
- to use harddisk file: enter options and mount it the "Hard files" submenu.
Alternatively you can specify the harddisk in your configuration file
by adding the following line:
hardfile=read-write,32,1,2,512,/dev_usb000/uae/system.hdf
or, if the previous one doesn´t work for you:
hardfile=read-write,0,0,0,512,/dev_usb000/uae/system.hdf
Normally you just need to change the path and filename of the hardfile. The
first four numbers are the default ones and should work even if your emulated
disk file has a different size. The first set of numbers is ok for hardfiles
formated to OFS (old file system), the second set (zeros) is for harddisk files
formated to RDB (fast file system).
