Running Win7 64bit. Winuae works great!

The problem is resolution. The Amiga was designed with TV resolutions in mind. Most Amiga games run at a resolution of 320x256 in 32 colours with a 15Hz refresh rate. This is far different to current PC setups which often run a 1920x1080 in 16M colours with a 85Hz refresh rate.

Modern LCD TVs are also extremely clear, showing every pixel fully and crisp. In the Amiga days TVs and Monitors were the big old CRT type. You mentioned Philips, which was probably the 8833-II Amiga monitor. This was basically a standard 14" CRT TV with Amiga monitor port to accept a clearer RGB signal directly from the Amiga. The picture was still of TV quality, and so the graphics were still blurred by the TV tube.

The problem you are having running WinUAE is that you are running Amiga low resolution games (320x256) on a high resolution PC monitor. It will look very pixillated because you can see every pixel in the game so much bigger.

As Teho said, the only way we could fix this issue would be to add some form of filtering to WinUAE.

Have you tried playing your Amiga games in a window instead of full screen? This might make them look better on your large monitor. I normally run WinUAE in a window at 800x600 and most games look fine. Alternatively, if your graphics card has a S-Video out then you could output WinUAE to a TV which will look better.
Thx for the feedback H. What you say makes sense. I thought that maybe there was this hidden setting in winuae that would magically enable that Amiga look and feel. I was fooling around with filters but couldn't really see any difference so thought I was doing something wrong! Thx for the help.
