How do you setup WinUAE to watch AGA demos

[Moroboshisan]

below you can take a look at my current WinUAE 2.1.0 with AmigaSys gfx setup screenshots.

in a base system with NO picasso modes you can use the freely available HighGFX from Aminet http://aminet.net/driver/moni/HighGFX40_6.lha (more info from taken from the readme here http://aminet.net/driver/moni/HighGFX40_6.readme).

Downloaded AmigaSys 4 AGA from www.amigasys.com , and set it up.

Still my screen is tiny and looks nothing compared to yours.
if i change in the preferences in WB - screen mode, to a setting that's near enough to my monitor res ( Hires Interlaced. I thinks ) it's squished up and is unreadable. Overscan only allows for the small window.

I've reduced the size of this attachment, it should be 1152x864x75hz

I see... you are doing something wrong for sure... double check everything, I'm sure you missed a little pass (you forgot to save the actual modified config on the Emulator side or in the Amiga side ... or something like that).

Better restart from scratch, uninstall WinUAE and then reinstall it (http://www.winuae.net/files/InstallWinUAE2100.exe)... set the correct paths to your Kickstart dump/s and Workbench ADF images and then:

1 - download an already UAE/GfxCard enabled system like http://amigasys.condor.serverpro3.com/download/AmigaSYS4.exe and BEFORE starting the exe be sure to read the offline manual http://amigasys.condor.serverpro3.com/download/AmigaSYSHelpWinUAE.zip available in multiple languages...

2 - follow the online english instructions carefully

3 - once you're done and your system (hopefully) is up and running upgrade to the latest 1.3 version to date by using this http://amigasys.condor.serverpro3.com/download/AmigaSYS4-UAE-R1.3.zip

AmigaSYS update:
3-1, Unpack Update file.
3-2, Start WinUAE.exe, Load AmigaSYS 4 config file
3-3, Go Hard drives settings, Add update file Add Update (Add Hardfile...)
3-4, Press start button.
3-5, Wait, loading system... and double click AmigaSYS4 upgrade icon.
3-6, Start Installer and follow onscreen instructions.
3-7, Once the process is done reboot your emulated Amiga and, if you did everything the right way, it MUST work !!!


once you have a working system you can try to install other pre-build systems (since Amigasys hardfiles have the same name you need to pay attention not to mess with your working config, mind it!).


The screenshot you have taken isn't really self-explanatory (except from the fact that seems like you are running on the wrong Amiga screenmode from the "WinUAE Properties/Host/Display" then "Settings/Resolution"... are you sure you have "Hires (normal)" selected?)
I can't believe WinUAE is refusing to work on your computer, I'm running mine on an Acer Aspire 5710 with an Intel Gfx board (no fancy ATI or nVIDIA monsters) with WinXP-SP3 and the latest DirectX.

great thats working. it must of been some corrupting between the various HD configs. can I now remove the update rc3 of AmigaSys?

Now, I need to figure out and find proper instructions to put whdload on it? as im hoping that I can watch various demos in full screen, as I see those in a window frame like the attachment image earlier ron.

Cheers,
Clyde.

great thats working.

HURRA! ^_^

can I now remove the update rc3 of AmigaSys?

Once you have successfully updated your system you can safely remove the hardfile from WinUAE HDD-list

Now, I need to figure out and find proper instructions to put whdload on it?

WHDload is already available in AmigaSYS, I think you just need to read http://www.whdload.de/docs/en/index.html ...

now it's up to you...

good luck! ;-)

Im posting this in the Emu.
I've read the readme, which isnt very intuitive. it says that whload cd32 is there, but I can't find it any where.

I guess it's a hidden tool, not as I imagined.
I can see the point of WHDLoad, though you still need the .adf / .dms which you can bung in the floppy in quick start. However, watching any demo results in it being a small window.
