![]() ![]() In the same way that people did AGA fixes for A1200 to fix A500 games to work on faster machines, most people didn't understand why the games didn't work, they just wanted them to work.įor those of us that need WinUAE to act like a real Amiga, it can and does. What you have to remember is that lots of people using WinUAE, didn't EVER have an Amiga back in the day, they don't care why a game doesn't work correctly, they don't understand why it doesn't work correctly, but if they are told "tick this box to fix graphic glitches" and that option works, then they will be happy and WinUAE is doing its job. However, forcing a user to only experience games through emulation as precisely as possible doesn't always lend itself to a great emulation experience. WinUAE is a great emulator, and if you keep it to precise settings, games written for A500 that had graphical problems on a real A1200 will look the same in emulation. ![]() ![]() So with the release of the A1200 and A4000, people simply expect software to work on them, because lots of software did, without problems. Amigas with 68020 and other faster processors were not seen as games machines, they were certainly more expensive by quite some degree, so if Xenon 2 didn't work on those Amigas, developers considered that the market with those machines for games to work was so small as to be ok to ignore, their core spec was a 68000 based A500 or very similar spec Amigas. The 'problem' is that the Amiga survived longer than developers expected. I hope people understand where I'm coming from, like I say I was around when home computers were not even out and my living was selling old (boo hiss) Atari 8 bit machines so I've seen soo many emulators come, go or stay and often got involved in beta testing them so precise emulation always seemed the main aim with as few (if any) hacks as possible. I'm not trying to pick holes in the emulator, it just was a question I meant to ask ages ago and for the emulation purists it seems a weird thing to add hacks to fix poor programming if it would cause the same issue on the real hardware. The reason behind the popularity is its smooth user interface and essential functionalities. iGetter is popular as a download manager for Mac. To be more specific, you need to have Windows XP or later version and Mac OS X 10.6 or later version. I understand folk would moan at the emu rather than these future based upgrades to the initial machines and I can see a reason to help them, I presume adding the immediate blitter does not cause any problems in non fixing needed games? iGetter is a cross-platform download manager that is available for Windows as well as Mac OS X. So in some respects its correcting abnormal configurations rather than out of the box machine specs, that would make sense and a fair fix but shouldn't those users using 68030 cpus etc expect a bit of an issue here and there, I know I had all sorts with my 68030 board in my 1200. ![]()
