I realize that this is an old thread, but I spent a lot of time on UAE4All recently on the Wiz. I can't really find any Wiz specific documentation and the old Wiki for the GP2x seems a bit outdated.
I had a couple of questions and observations
Q
1) The autosave feature? I noticed it in the revision notes that indicates that it enabled "Writes" and that saves will be made into the saves dir. I've been fumbling around with blank disk images for saves, so I was wondering how this works. Does this feature refer to save games when you are prompted for a saves disk?
2) Any lessons from users out there about adjustments to the base config that seem to help with performance? I did save the mouse speed at 3x, but adjusting 'sync threshold' or 'sound frequency' don't really seem to help anything. Found through testing that HW scaling locks up the unit. Is there anything else that you have found useful?
Observations
It seems that in the disk load screen you can use B to load drive 0, X to load drive 1, A to load Drive 2, and X to load drive 3. I tested this out on a couple of games and wasn't prompted for the disk again. I dunno if this is intended or I'm imagining things . . .
Reset seems to restart the Amiga but not eject the disks, actually highlighting 'Start' and pressing B will resume the last program from where it left off. The lack of an actual Start button seems to have disabled the shortcut of pressing the Start button for this purpose.
I did notice that sometimes the sound would stop, but it wasn't frequent and did not seem related to going into the menu. In fact if you start Pirates! then choose to continue an old career before the music is done, the music will pause while you insert your save disk and then resume when you highlight Start and press B.
Some games I tried that worked or didn't. I know this is on the UAE4All wiki, but that seems GP2x specific and plus someone might look here first:
-Pirates! - I played this the most and it worked great
-Defender of the Crown - Seemed flawless
-Dune - Some sound bending and slowing but it was almost 100%
-UFO Enemy Unknown - I can't get into the battle mode and rotating the globe was extremely slow
-Cannon Fodder - Worked great
-1st Monkey Island - Booted up and I was walking around in game without issue
-Ruff N Tumble - Looks and sounds perfect to me
-Giana Sisters - I didn't notice sound but this played just fine
-Turrican 2 - 1st level seemed perfect to me
-Lemmings - A little frantic without a true mouse but it worked just fine
-Syndicate - 1st time with this game, menus seemed sluggish,I was able to complete the first mission
-The Settlers - The menu buttons at the bottom were only 1/2 on the screen, otherwise this seemed to work fine
-Pinball Fantasies - Worked but its keyboard only which: 1) sucks and 2) virtual keyboard hides to bottom of the pinball table
-North & South - Worked perfectly, but to change units in battle you have to use virt keyboard to press SHIFT
I'd rate my experience with UAE4All to be pretty good maybe 6 or 7 out of 10. It'd be nice if someone out there was willing to try and improve on the interface giving it more of a point/click feel, enable savestates, and give support for WHDLoad and AGA. Since there's been recent movement on AmigaForever and C64Forever, (both of which have at least some open source) I'd think it'd be possible on the Wiz.
Thanks again Pickle for porting this over last year!
Edit - there is a helpful thread in the 'Emulation' board with a link to the following article that has a more detailed compat list: http://lostsite.altervista.org/wiz/?p=1054
No, I thought of that...
