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".
