PUAE

PUAE tries to continue where E-UAE left off, by combining Richard Drummond's E-UAE 0.8.29
 with the latest updates from WinUAE 2.X.X, and bringing regular UAE updates to Unix-based platforms.

PUAE versioning is based on the merged WinUAE version..

Installing E-UAE on OSX

It is advised that you follow this installation guide by using the Ultimate Amiga E-UAE for OSX Package, although it is not essential.


1) Install the SDL Library (Required)

- File Source: Simple DirectMedia Layer

- This is an often forgot requirement of E-UAE on the Mac, but is simple enough to install.

- To install, copy the SDL Library/SDL.framework to /Library/Frameworks
- You may alternatively install it in /Library/Frameworks if your access privileges are not high enough.


2) Install the CAPS Library (Optional)

- File Source: Software Preservation Society

- This will allow you to use .ipf disk images with E-UAE, rather than just ADFs.
- It should be noted that not every build of E-UAE supports the use of this Library.

- To install, copy the CAPS Library/CAPSImage.framework to /Library/Frameworks
- You may alternatively install it in /Library/Frameworks if your access privileges are not high enough.


3) Install an appropriate build of E-UAE (Required)

- File Source: RCDRUMMOND.NET

- There are various builds of E-UAE available for OSX
- Many of for different versions of E-UAE, and some are compiled for different CPU types.
- You can check what CPU the build is compatible with by using the 'Get info' tool within Finder, when clicking on the E-UAE.app icon.
- This will state one of the following; PowerPC, Intel or Universal


Get Info showing an Intel Build of E-UAE


- To install, simply copy the build you want to use to /Applications/
- If you are using an Intel based Mac, you will find you get better performance by using an Intel-Specific build, rather than a Universal Binary.

Dropping E-UAE into the Applications folder

- If you wish to use E-UAE on an older (PowerPC) machine, you may require an older build of E-UAE, which should help you gain better performance.
- You may wish to install multiple builds to your machine, in order to run multiple instances of E-UAE at the same time. Unfortunately, E-UAE tries to be smart, and will not run another copy of itself whilst already running. Fortunately, this is generally only required if you wish to use E-UAE for Amiga development purposes.


4) Install the Hi-Toro GUI (Optional)

- File Source: Daniel Pimley's Projects

- Although not essential, you will find it is a lot easier to use E-UAE if you have a GUI available to you for altering configuration files.
- Alternatively you can manually alter the configuration files with TextEdit.

- The latest version of Hi-Toro available is 0.5.2
- Version 0.2.7 should be used if you are running on an older machine, and the newer build does not work.

- To install, simply copy the build you want to use to /Applications/


5) Link Hi-Toro with E-UAE (If required)

- You will then need to run Hi-Toro and let it know what copy of E-UAE it should invoke when running, as follows;

- Launch Hi-Toro and go to the Hi-Toro drop-down menu option; Preferences
- The First option lets you select (with Finder) where E-UAE is placed
- It should then appear as something like; /Applications/E-UAE.app

- You may wish to set the 'TextEdit' application as the Configuration Viewer

- I would also recommend setting the option "After invoking E-UAE, Hi-Toro should;" to "Hide"



The preferences window of  Hi-Toro


- Press 'OK' and you should be ready to start using Hi-Toro with E-UAE

Welcome to the corner of Ultimate Amiga dedicated to running E-UAE, the cross-platform Amiga emulator, on Apple Macintosh OSX.

Richard Drummond & co.'s cross platform E-UAE emulator ( http://www.rcdrummond.net/uae ) is without doubt the best way for any Apple Mac user to emulate the Amiga. However, it does not feature the luxuries of a friendly, well-developed GUI along with a large supporting userbase, that WinUAE is able to enjoy.

As such, I thought it would be helpful for potential E-UAE users to have a decent guide to getting the emulator up and running, along with a few helpful hints and tips, and as many files / resources as you could possible need, all held together. Have a look through the index for some downloads and guides.

Feel free to visit our E-UAE & PUAE sub-forum where you'll be able to obtain any support you might need with the download package, and where you are free to discuss the emulator as a whole.
