Memory, UAE-Wii version 3
I bought 2GB RAM for my laptop today. What a difference compared to 1GB! Now firefox, eclipse and mytourbook (267 km since may 27!) are actually possible to run together. Good investment and something I'd recommend anyone with a slightly old laptop.

I've also released version 3 of UAE-Wii today. It really only contains two things: a fix for a bug which prevented dialogue windows from showing and support for Cloanto Amiga forever kickstart ROMs out of the box.



You can also see it as an answer to the (frequent) question "where do I get a kickstart ROM for UAE?". Easy - just buy the Amiga forever CD and copy them from there. It's good value for money since it's quite cheap and contains a set of games/demos as well.

Cloanto was nice enough to send me a copy of the Amiga forever CD for free - it was even the deluxe edition which packs two DVDs with Amiga-related videos. I've so far only watched Dave Haynies documentary about the collapse of commodore. While the subject is interesting, the documentary is filmed with a (shaky) handheld camera by Haynies himself, so I can't really recommend it to anyone but the real enthusiasts or the truly drunk.

Does It Supports SDHC?

I really miss my Amiga, so this is great.

But when i tried v1, it would not support SDHC cards.

Normal SD cards are very hard to get (besides i have like 12 SDHC ones ;)).

Thanks for your work.

SD/SDHC cards are not UAE-related - the support comes from lower layers (probably even Nintendos stuff). So I can't do much about that.

That is weird, cause i use SNES and Genesis emultators, and they have no problem running from, and reading from SDHC cards ... while UAEwii does not starts on an SDHC card.

You where right.

The emulator works with SDHC.

I had probably used a bad rom. Or v1 did not work with my configuration.

I had to buy Amiga Forever to try it!

Thanks, today i played risky woods.

v1 and Amiga Forver does not go that well together - use v3 for the Amiga forever roms.

CD32 support?

Any idea when the cd32 kickstart rom will be supported? Annoying me that i can't get Fury of the furries and Marvin's marvelous adventures to work with the supported roms...

Well, it's not one of my priorities, so I don't know. I'm afraid I don't have much emotional attachment to the CD32, so I don't have any particular push to add support for it.

It's probably easy for someone else to add though, so get going ;-)

omfg i love your work!!
when can we expect version 4? :D...

i wish i could program!! would be nice of you
to allow speed control to the floppy drives via the menu....?

and possibly a few key bindings or key inputs using some kind of
on screen virtual keyboard.... as a couple of games need random keys
pushing to get started. and not all of us have room/money
to add keyboard to the wii! haha

thank you for giving me option to play project x / gods / superfrog
again on the amiga/wii!

u r my hero of the week!

You can already do all of this: The floppy speed is in the options menu and the virtual keyboard is under input.

I don't have any particular plan for releasing a new version right now.
