Sorry for the ignorance, . . .
is UAE some sort of Amiga Emulation?
As far as I remember it (and nobody ever accused me of having a good
memory),
somebody was so irritated by repeated requests for an
Amiga emulator in
some
newsgroup or other (comp.emulators.misc maybe?) and
they were so
determined
that it would be too slow to be of any use, they wrote
the "Unusable Amiga
Emulator" to prove the point. Fortunately or not, it turned out to be
usable.
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
Back in the day when it was really bad, yes the U did stand for unusable.
But alot of work by Toni Wilen (the current main programmer for WinUAE - the
windows version of UAE) and many others have made it one of (if not the
best) Amiga emulators right now.
