Amiga 360 W.I.P. Update
>> From lantus360.com: [QUOTE] Just a quick Amiga 360 update. I’ve scrapped using E-UAE as the source for the emulation. I’ve found while its OK, it has compatability issues and im not happy with.
I’ve now switched over to PUAE (https://github.com/GnoStiC/PUAE) – which is written by GnoStiC and an effort to merge in the latest WinUAE codebase across to E-UAE. It has much better compatability and fixes and has active development.
Being an Amiga fan, this is important to get the best possible emulation on the Xbox 360 and it is definetly the right way going forward. As a result however, i scrapped all the old Amiga360 code and started over. However, things are progressing quickly and a release should be soon. Right now, this is all i am focused on (MAME, FBANext etc are all on the backburner) until this is released.
