1. Download WinUAE executable (Setup program) from www.winuae.net
2. Install WinUAE and follow 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 you 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 programs and copy all files you downloaded into this programs directory. (lha.run, Picasso96.lha, ‘ClassAct2Demo.lha & NewIcons46.lha’ or MagicWB21p.lha, mui38usr.lha and Scalos.lha).
6. Now close all open explorer windows and lunch WinUAE.
7. If it asks you to ‘Detect 16-bit Pixel format’, click Yes.
8. First goto the ROM tab and click ‘...’ button and set the path to your kick-start 3.1 ROM File.
9. Next goto the Hard Drives tab.
10. Left click Add Hardfile...
11. In older versions of Winuae (before 22r1) you have to input the hdf size using bytes and have to work it all out, if you do not you could cause data corruption when the hdf runs out of free space. So to make a 22MB hdf you need to type in 23068672 into the bytes box and click Create button.
(If you want to make a bigger sized hdf file you need to use the formula:
Size_of_hdf_in_megabytes * 1024 * 1024 = Number_to_type_in_bytes_box)
If you are using Winuae 22r1 or newer versions you type in Megabytes, so type 22 instead. (Thanks to andreas for the guide correction.)
12. Now goto ‘C:\Program Files\WinUAE\Hard Disks’ directory, type in a file name Workbench3.1 and click the Save button. Then click OK in the ‘Volume Settings’ window.
13. Click Add Directory...
14. In Volume Name/Label: type in Programs
15. In Path type C:\Program Files\WinUAE\Hard Disks\Programs (or click ‘...’ button and point to this directory) And then click OK.
You should see Workbench3.1 and Programs drives listed.
16. Next goto the CPU tab
17. Under CPU Type:- select 68020+FPU
18. Under CPU Emulation Speed:- select Fastest possible, but maintain chipset timing.
19. Under JIT settings set the Cache Size slider to around 4 or 5 Meg. (optional)
20. Goto the RAM tab
21. Select The following Memory Settings to:-
- Chip - Set to 2 MB
- Fast - Somewhere around 4 to 8 MB
- RTG (graphics card) - Somewhere between 4 to 32 MB
22. Under the Chipset tab just tick AGA
23. Now Goto the display tab
24. In the option Amiga screen resolution, Select via the drop-down box - 640x480 32-bit or 16-bit.
25. Under Centring:- Tick both the Horizontal and Vertical settings.
26. Under Settings:- Tick Correct aspect ratio, Full-Screen and Full-Screen RTG boxes.
27. Under Line mode:- Tick Doubled.
28. Now Goto the Sound tab
29. 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 44100 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.
30. Last goto Configurations tab
31. Type in Name box i.e.:- Amiga 1200 WB3.1 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. |
