Software News : Bounty for E-UAE GUI opened!
Posted by Cyborg on 2009/8/11 13:58:04 (2498 reads) News by the same author
Software News

On AmigaOS4 and the new hardware many old games and applications can only be ran via E-UAE.

Unfortunately the file based configuration of E-UAE is in no way userfriendly nor easy, which prevents a lot users from using it.
Thus this bounty shall result in an easy-to-use GUI for E-UAE on AmigaOS4. Very much like the well known GUI of WinUAE.



So to anyone who likes playing classic games even on AmigaOS4+ in an easy way: please support this bounty with a small donation!

 Re: Bounty for E-UAE GUI opened!
Any particular reason why this is a requisite?

Integrated ReAction GUI

I would have actually given it a shot if it wasn't tied to one, IMHO bad, GUI.

Guess someone else will have to do it Not to worry.

@ Slash

Simple: Hate it or love it, but ReAction is the default GUI toolkit of OS4.

@ rwo

Sorry, I suggested and added it because I want to do it myself.. I just didn't assign the bounty officially yesterday anymore. Done now.

Next time I'll do it at once to avoid confusion. But you're free to assign one of the other projects or suggest one on your own.. you can do that also in private if you don't want anybody else to see your suggestion until you are assigned to it yourself..


Edit:

Oh and of course many thanks to everyone who donated until now and will donate in future! Very much appreciated!

Well the bounty call clearly says "integrated in the AmigaOS4 build of E-UAE", there's no cross-platform requirement, so why is it a problem that OS4's standard GUI should be used?

I have done enough of ReAction programming to know that RA is perfectly capable of providing a GUI similar to WinUAE.

@Cyborg

I haven't got an Amiga anymore and I'm not planning to get one until there's more powerful hardware made.
But still I found this bounty worthy of a little donation from me. So 10? to u from me

I like the fact that..

* It's for OS4 only (means more optimizing and using OS4 API fully, I hope).
* ReAction is to be used (I don't like the clutter of using several different GUIs or styles in OS components or even applications. Once ReAction was chosen go full speed ahead I say.)

@ samwel

Thank you for your donation.

But to get this straight: This is a bounty for a GUI only! No other work on UAE is covered by the bounty besides the needed work to integrate the GUI.

Though this doesn't mean there might not be some bugfixes as byproduct ;)

@nubechecorre

The Amigabounty one seems more advanced though. (quick start, multiple configurations). Perhaps they could work together and upgrade the os4depot one?

@Cyborg

Perhaps a future addition could include game specific configuration files? And then list all known games in a listbrowser, a doubleclick would load the game specific config file and start the ADF.

@ orgin

with the multiple configurations you will be able to do exactly this. Set everything up for the game as needed, save it under the name you want and you're done.

 Re: Bounty for E-UAE GUI opened!
have you looked at glue at os4depot.net ? is more than a simple arexx script.. it can run you adf game simply clicking on the icon disk, it performs the change disk of the game and it can do a lot of things.. contact saimo ( Simone Bevilacqua, author of BOH ) if you think it could help the bounty
