About lantus360
Thanks Lantus!!!!!
Great work Lantus, I don’t know what would happen to the scene without you
Thanks lantus, can’t wait to try this i’m sure it’s been worth the wait.
Thank you so much!!! Now its time for some nostalgic gaming
yeah!
Now i dont need to plug in my old amiga 600
Thank you ^^
thanx for this awesome update … I am just a little lost on the keyboard/mouse usage
I can’t seem to find where to use the keyboard … any pointers would be apreciated
just plug in a keyboard into any of the USB slots on your xbox360. Or you can use the chatpad if you have one. Enjoy
no worries thanx … your a legend !!
nice work….thanks!
Thanks Lantus, this is cool.
Q: Can you use a USB mouse?
I can’t get one to work!
USB mouse wont work unless you have a devkit. you can only use emulated mouse via the analog stick on a JTAG at this time
Sorry, please ignore that last post! I can see that while USB keyboard support is built in, mouse isn’t. I’m now wondering if one of those FPS adaptors that offer mouse support would work.
yyeehaaa thx a lot Lantus
still I wonder, why you put so much effort in BSD support etc… 99.9 % of all amiga fans will use your emulator for emulating games I guess! and the webbrowser – ok nice to have:)
I will now check this emu closely, and if its only half as good as I am expecting, I will donate you some bucks FOR SURE!!!
just to get the most complete amiga experience on the xbox360. I’ve seen lots of UAE ports but are missing lots of features.
whats great about BSDsocket emulation is you can directly use AWeb/Ibrowse to WHDLoad/aminet etc without the need for a pc to move files over.
wich one KickStar rom is recommended?
1.3 (Amiga 500)
3.1 (Amiga 1200)
3.9 (custom Amiga 1200)
??
you can use as many kickstart roms as you like. Only one needs to be called Kick.rom
Thanks man. I meant if theres one in particular preferred to get the most out of it. Which one did you use or recomend?
Thanks for this valuable work!!
i use kick 3.1 as my default rom. Then switch to others if i need to
actually the best choice for me is to set up Classic-WB with Picasso96 and WHDLoad. I hardly ever boot from adf’s
Hi, emulator works great! now is the time to pack up my A1200. One little niggle, I have got 9000+ disk images and cannot split them up into sub folders, It tries to select the directory as a disk image.
You can’t categorise disk from A to Z in dir’s :/
no, not in this release. I will look into it
seconded, allowing subdirectories in the roms folder would be most useful
before more people flood the comments – is there an forum / site where we can report bugs / discuss this emulator?
i dont have a forum on my blog so just go ahead and use the comments to discuss bugs etc.
Great work Lantus. Does this emulator run at 50hz or 60hz ?
it should support both. please let me know if you have any difficulty
Hi al!!
Does anyone AmigaSYS? I installed the AmigasSYS4, but i can’t change the resolution and did not go Picasso96.
Can anyone help?

I have installed amigasys also if you dont tick the enable picasso in the emulator it will only allow low res, hi res and super hi res. if you tick the enable picasso you can select uae:800×600 or may have been uae:640×480 cant remember. you can change the setting in system:preffs\screenmode. i did make my .hdf on a pc using amigasys and copied it over to the xbox. i did think its a bit slow when you boot amigasys if you click on the amiga button(same as start button in win) this takes a while to display the menu and when it first boots in takes at little while to display the buttons at the buttom of the screen.
hi there. Screens up to 1280×720 (720p) should work. Also, make sure in advanced options you are using the ‘Fastest Possible’ option for best performance.
but i do agree with you that Amiga-SYS is a little slow. I prefer to use ClassicWB-P96 which runs quite well
Awesome !!!
But I tried some oldschool demo and sometime I got some slowdown…
How it’s possible on such hardware ?
which Demo’s have slowdowns? i will look into it if you let me know
thanks
Oops… You can try with Arte/Sanity (with a500 emulation)…
Thanks
Jesus holy mother of god! I missed the release! Awesome work dude! Thanks
ok, let me report a few things
is 2nd joystick working yet, or planned to be implemented? at least in dynablasters no second joystick works. Also, in Chaos engine 1 and Chaos engine 2 its not possible to start the game at all – in the menu, before pressing “start game”, suddenly no joystick nor keyboard is working. More games might be affected by this “losing control” bug?
In addition, can the mouse sensibility be adjusted?
Nevertheless, great work so far, hope you can rule out the issues from time to time!
2nd joystick should work. though i never really tested it. Thanks for the bug report. i will take a look into it
as far as the mouse sensitivity goes there is a cfg setting ‘mouse_speed’ to adjust it. Try lowering it to say 70 (default is 100) and see if that helps
thanks!
Thanks alot, love amiga games on my Xbox.
But I have one question. Is it possible to make the joystick up to an button instead? (Like the “X” button?) So in games you jump with an button instead of analoge up?
I tried to change in the config files, but didnt get it to work.
—————————————————
input.1.joystick.0.disabled=0
input.1.joystick.0.axis.0=JOY1_HORIZ
Tried both this:
input.1.joystick.0.axis.1=JOY1_FIRE_BUTTON
And I tried this:
input.1.joystick.0.button.2=JOY1_VERT
Great work!!!! Much appreciated
hello;let me say THANK YOU for this great release!brilliant work!!!!!!!!!!!!
i ‘ve installed the classicwb with p96 but don’t know what screen mode settings to use, can you provide me with any good settings,I mean what screen resolution, how many bits 16 or 24? and how many colors to set up, on your preview movie the colors and thne screen mode is superb,anyway thanks a lot for this great release LONG LIVE AMIGA!!!
i would recommend 1280×720 (720p) at 24 bit color…try colors around 32 thousand or less. it should look and fun nice and fast
Thanks for this great emulator!
I’ ve been looking forward to this release and very pleased that it runs so well.
I’ ve got two ideas to make it even better. Firstly, I think the emulator would benefit from loading a default config. I’ ve set up hardfile with a games selector, so then it would be a click and go solution.
Secondly, could you make an option to map amiga keys to the controller? Some games require you to press keys.. Would be great!
hi there..if you rename your default config to ‘uaerc’ it will automatically boot from that without the need to use the UI. I think that should help you
i am looking at the mapping buttons to controller issue now..thanks
Hi Lantus,
Im having some issues with the sensitivity while playing some games and are very keen on being able to play games such as impossimole with the xbox DPAD, is this currently possible or will it need to be future implemented?
Also which workbench is best to use, 1.3, 2.0 or 3.1?
Thanks
Scott
HI Scott,
see my post & Lantus` answer reg the mouse sensitivity – however I have not had the chance to test it ..
Lantussssss Tanks men!!!!! Running os 3.1 perfect.I owe you a beer. If you spend one day in Spain have an unconditional friend.
Hi homme and lantus,
Thanks for your response i will indeed test this, however i am wondering is there a way to use the DPAD on the xbox controller instead of the leftside joystick?
Hi is is all possible to compile a n64 emu on the xbox360 in xex file as there is a somewhat
a xell version.
Many thanks.
thanks for your quake port!
HI Lantus, I have verified the 2 player issue, and it seems to be not working properly. When testing Nitro with 2 players, it seems that Player 2 reacts to control of Plyer one, but just mirrored in direction (when Player 1 steers right, Player 2 steers left etc). Also, for other games it seems not working. DO you think a noob like me can fix this by messing around with the config`?
And, directory structure in disc overview would be sooo freaking cool – its always annoying when you leave the disc menu for other options, then come back and have to start with letter “A” all over, esp. when you want to play a title starting with “W”
@all – Please use these comments for Amiga360 issue only!!!
HI
I have noticed the same issue in Ironman super off road when you start player 1 player 2 then starts and the controlls are the oposite mirror of player one
First of all, congrats for this piece of work. The best amiga emulator so far. Keep the good work mate.
There is some problems:
1) with 2nd joystick/mouse controller. I am not able to make it work in ‘twintris’. Also, I remember that some in some games I had to switch ‘on-the-fly’ the second gameport from mouse-to-joy and vice-versa. Maybe you need to add this ‘on-the-fly’ change.
2) Can you put some virtual keyboard ? Many games require ESC key (like twintris). I cannot get out of the submenus or go back to the main menu without the ESC key. Or at least map a ESC in some joypad button.
If there is a way to overcome these problems, please let me know.
Thanks again for this masterpiece.
thats fu**in awesome,great work!!!!!!!
Lantus,
there is definetely a problem with second joystick/player.
‘PANG’ is unplayable: First joystick seems to trigger actions for the second player.
thanks for the update..ill look into this..cheers
Hi Lantus,
This second player issue is also happening in Midnight Resistance making the game unplayable.
Thanks for looking into this
hi there, update is coming soon that fixes the controller issues. Im working on subdirectories also
sounds great, thank you very much!!
Great news Latus. great xmas gift
Hi Guys,
Im just wondering if the Save/Load State function has been implemented yet? When i attempt to use this function no save states are created.
Anyone else have this issue?
Hi,
First, thanks for doing this, its brought back some old memories!!
Second, I have it working with a 3.0 kick rom, i’ve tried 3.1 kick roms (from a A1200 and A4000) and I just get a black screen with a pointer in the top left corner when I run the emulator (cant get to the left trigger menu, just hangs). Could you let me know which revision kick 3.1 rom you are using?
Thanks again
Shaun
Awesome my miggys mediator board died and im with out my amiga again and no power supply to run my blizzard and no pci to run my voodo card.
This is great port great stuff lantus all the features i want but I am encountering a slightly annoying bug.
If i run my hard file (amiga os3.9) with rtg running if i reset the amiga or switch to a different config i loose rtg emulation and are limited back to multiscan and i have to close amiga360 down and load it up again.
is any one else having these problems?
any chance for warp up ppc etc… so we can run classic os4?
Latus,
are you going to inform us from this thread when new version will be released ?
I am sure it will be on the main page aswell, as usual
update is coming guys dont worry
just getting back into it after having a big xmas/new year 
Hello, great EMU, thanx à bunch.
Bought a chatpad just for this emu but I can’t figure out how to press F1, F2 etc.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanx
One more question, sorry if this allready been anwered.
Is there à way to change the mouse cursor speed?
It’s very hard in some games to press icons when steering the mouse With the stick.
This emulator is really great for an old Amiga fan like me, thank you very much for developing this! I am still waiting for my RGH xbox360 but once I get it, this will be my first install.
However, I have one favor I’d like to ask: Could you implement configurable controls? I have a self-made arcade stick that doesn’t have analog controls and trigger buttons at all (they are hard to wire because of their analog nature). Thus I can’t use my arcade stick properly with this emulator if I have understood correctly (trigger buttons toggle menu).
Excellent EMU just put a 4gb HDF file boots with PICASO 96 and most WHLoad games with a 1280×720 desktop view
