AmiKit 1.5 represents a LOT of work by Jan to make it all come together (a lot of work by his elves too!).

This new 1.5.0 version is much faster than the old 1.4.x version on Linux version of EUAE. Good work ! One problem exists still. Menus will disappear immediately after they're opened. I have to make them "sticky" to be able to use menus at all. (ps2 mouse). Sticky menus works but Intuition compatible ones don't (like in all previous versions I have tested). Looks like you removed the bootup screen.

I tried to run Slamtilt game but the whole system (in emulation) froze.

Btw. I had forgotten I had one shared partition with Samba on my A1. I was shocked to see an icon of that shared partition on the AmiKit desktop. I don't remember anymore if I did setup that connection myself in AmiKit or did AmiKit really find it fully automaticly by itself !? If it did find it automaticly then that's cool.

Yeah the menu problem will hopefully go away with a new EUA-E. I've tried a newer non public build of e-uae and there it works as it should. It will also fix a problem with screen resolutions. The currently available e-uae (wip4) does not work with all of the amikit preconfigured screen resolutions. But code from winuae has been merged with e-uae to take care of it.

Hmmm, I thought I've set the sticky menus in Linux port of AmiKit. Apparently not. Sorry.

@AmiKit

I just installed it on my vista laptop, looks nice & seems to work ok. Just one problem, I have this big pink cursor stuck to the pointer. It flashes on & off & is on steady when the pointer is moved around. Doesn't affect the operation, just looks bad.

Problem solved with WinUAE 1.4.6.
