- This document contains information specific to the BeBox version of UAE.
-
- System requirements
- ===================
-
- UAE will run on any System with BeOS DR8 or DR8.2.
-
-
- Starting UAE
- ============
-
- UAE should only be started from the Shell.
-
-
- Compilation
- ===========
-
- The configure script doesn't work under BeOS. CD to 'src' and type
- "make -fMakefile.Be".
-
- If you are a daring person, you can edit custom.c before compiling and enable
- the "EMULATE_AGA" define. UAE will then try to emulate some AGA features. I'd
- like to hear feedback as to how well it works (expect it not to work at all
- for a start).
-
- To enable 68020/68881 emulation, set CPU_LEVEL to 2 in config.h and recompile.
-
-
- Graphics
- ========
-
- The BeOS version of UAE currently only supports a color depth of 8 bits.
- You should set the color depth of the workspace you're running UAE in to
- 8 bits/pixel for maximum speed.
-
-
- Sound
- =====
-
- The sound currently doesn't work very well. You must start UAE with "-S 2"
- or "-S 3" to get sound.
-
-
- Keyboard
- ========
-
- Some special keys of the Amiga keyboard are mapped as follows:
-
- (Amiga) -> (Be)
- Help -> Insert
- Amiga -> Alt
- Alt -> Wind*ws keys
- Left Alt -> End
- Right Alt -> Right Control, Page Down
- '(' (NP) -> Home
- ')' (NP) -> Page Up
-
-
- Mouse and joystick emulation
- ============================
-
- UAE will try to keep the Amiga mouse pointer at the same location as the Be
- mouse pointer. You can turn off this mode if it does not work with your
- program by pressing F12. This is needed (for example) for Lemmings, the
- Magnetic Scrolls adventures and ProTracker; these programs don't use sprite 0
- as a mouse pointer.
-
- A joystick in port 1 (the lower port) is supported. UAE calibrates the
- joystick automatically. Turn it a few times on startup to get the calibration
- done.
-
-
- Harddisk emulation
- ==================
-
- If you want to execute files located on a native filesystem, they need to have
- the x permission bit set. That can be done in the Bash by "chmod +x file" or
- in AmigaDOS with "protect file rwed".
