Modifying a WinUAE Configuration

 

TOPIC

Q: How can I modify one of the default WinUAE emulation configurations?

 

DISCUSSION

A: Amiga Forever 2009 and later versions include direct access to emulation-specific options via the Options dialog, accessible from the Tools menu of the Amiga Forever player. Some of the settings that can be edited include a choice of video modes, printer, additional drives, and the amount of RAM in the Workbench 3.X configuration.

Under the hood, configurations are built from data files located in a directory like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Cloanto\RetroPlatform\Player\Plugins\WinUAEPlugin", plus some data generated on the fly by the software (also based on settings such as those in Tools/Options). The data is constructed in four steps:

  • The shared data file (shared.ini) is loaded first
  • Data from a configuration-specific file (e.g. a-af3x.ini) is added
  • Software-generated data is added
  • Data from override.ini is added last

The individual INI files are editable.

If the Enable logging option is set in Amiga Forever (under Tools/Options/Plugins/WinUAE), the resulting .uae files can be verified after launching a title. Select Open Amiga Files and click the WinUAE folder to see the .uae log files.
