Back To Guides Index

1. Download WinUAE executable (Setup program) from www.winuae.net

2. Install WinUAE and follow the on screen instructions.

3. Next copy your Kick-Start ROM file into C:\Program Files\Winuae (or make a new directory and name it kickstarts then copy your ROM file into this new directory.)

4. Next make another new directory in C:\Program Files\Winuae and name it Hard Disks

5. In Hard Disks make another directory called WB1.3

6. Now close all open explorer windows and launch WinUAE.

7. If it asks you to ‘Detect 16-bit Pixel format’, click Yes.

8. Go to the ROM tab and click ‘...’ button and set the path to your kick-start 1.3 ROM File.

9. Next goto the Hard Drives tab.

10. Click Add Directory...

11. In Volume Name/Label: type in WB1.3

12. In Path type C:\Program Files\WinUAE\Hard Disks\WB1.3 (or click ‘...’ button and point to this directory) And then click OK.

13. Next go to the CPU tab

14. Under CPU Type:- select 68000

15. Tick More compatible.

16. Under CPU Emulation Speed:- select Match A500 speed

17. Go to the RAM tab.

18. Set The following Memory Settings to:-

• Chip - 1 MB
   
• Slow - Somewhere around 512k to 1 MB

19. Under the Chipset tab just tick ECS Agnus

20. Now Go to the display tab

21. In the option Amiga screen resolution, Select via the drop-down box - 640x480 32-bit or 16-bit.

22. Under Centring:- Tick both the Horizontal and Vertical settings.

23. Under Settings:- Tick Correct aspect ratio, Full-Screen

24. Under Line mode:- Tick Doubled.

25. Now Go to the Sound tab

26. Set the following options:-
 

• Sound Emulation - choose Emulated 100% accurate.
   
• Sound buffer size - I find it best at around the 5 to 6 setting
   
• Frequency - choose 44000 Hz
   
• Stereo Mode - choose Stereo
   
• In WinUAE 22r7 you will notice the settings part has changed. Click on the \/ dropdown to select Frequency - 44000 Hz. Also I find Audio Filter is best set to Emulated.
   
• In WinUAE 0.8.22 Release 5 you will notice the Interpolation options have been changed to Disable, RH and Crux: I find Crux to be the best option to use.
  
  What do RH and Crux stand for?
  
  Crux is Berndt Schmidts old handle.
  
  RH stands for Richard Hoffmann.
   
  Thanks to Lockrobster for the information.

27. Last goto Configurations tab.

28. Type in Name box i.e.:- A500 WB1.3 HD and Type something in Description box and click the Save button (you should then see the config appear in the list.) That concludes Chapter 1.
