.....Requirements

Although PocketUAE launcher will not work on the Navman, the main
emulator 'UAE.exe' will run if aygshell.dll is copied to the
PocketInsanity folder. All you have to do is edit the configuration file
manually.

.................................Navman running Personal Paint 7

The image below shows the emulator running with a Workbench
set to 4 colours. The colour mode can be set as high as 256
but this will slow the system down. Due to memory problems,
I have yet to figure out how to get the Picasso96 graphic
driver running. With this working the emulator should run at a
more useable speed. At present the system locks up if I try to use
any Picasso96 ScreenMode such as <uaegfx 640x200 or 320x240>.
But with the standard Amiga screen mode set to NTSC 640x200
(simulated resolution) everything seems to works fine.

.....

BTW the Navman's [+] and [-] keys act as right and left mouse buttons.

To use the popup Amiga keyboard select the Portrait Right Handed
setting in Nyditot. As a result of this, Workbench will be shown upside
down. (For clarity sake, the photographs show PocketUAE running
without Nyditot.) Then click on the red box on the toolbar.

It looks pretty, but boy it's slow! Set ScreenMode to 4 colors to speed things up.
And yes, that really is an old A1200 under my Navman.

Tips for setting the .uaerc configuration

Before you ask,
site rules state that I am not allowed to supply you with a download link to the kickstart ROM files needed for this emulator. You will find these ROMs on most good torrent sites, or with P2P software.

When you first install PocketUAE you'll need to edit the .uaerc file to set the correct path to the ROM and disk images. This file is located inside the PocketInsanity folder. All paths are relative to the main installation folder.

EG: My ROM file (amiga-os-310.rom) is in a folder called [roms] within PocketInsanity. If you use the AmigaForever ROMs you will also need to install a file called rom.key. As such, you would need to enter the following data into the .uaerc.
kickstart_rom_file=roms/amiga-os-310.rom
kickstart_key_file=roms/rom.key

If you are using standard ROMs you can ignore the kickstart_key_file=rom.key bit.

In addition you'll need to change the graphic settings to the following:
gfx_width=320
gfx_height=240
gfx_lores=true
gfx_center_vertical=simple
gfx_center_horizontal=simple
gfx_linemode=none
gfx_color_mode=8bit
(24bit also works)

Memory settings are still causing me grief. However, the following values seem to work consistantly. Play about with these figures to see what works for you.

# Size in n*512 kilobytes of chip-memory
chipmem_size=4
# Size in n*256 kilobytes of bogo-memory at 0xC00000
bogomem_size=4
# Size in n*megabytes of fast-memory
fastmem_size=2
# Size in n*megabytes of Zorro-III expansion memory
z3mem_size=0

If you wish to boot from a floppy disk image, then a path to an ADF image in a folder called [disks] might look something like this:
floppy0=disks/amigaos-310-wb.adf

Using pseudo-harddisks in Workbench.
To use the pre-installed Workbench harddisks from the AmigaForever CD, copy the folders [System] and [Work] from [\Emulation\shared\dir] on the CD, to a new folder called [shared] within the main PocketInsanity folder on your SD Card. Then add this to the .uaerc file.

# Specify which directory (on your PocketPC) to use for Amiga-HDD emulation (yes, it works! )
filesystem2=rw,DH0:System:shared/System,0
filesystem=rw,System:shared/System
filesystem2=rw,DH1:Work:shared/Work,0
filesystem=rw,Work:shared/Work

To boot from the [shared] pseudo-harddisk folder, make sure you comment out any adf floppy0= settings with a #. The Amiga always tries to boot from floppy0 first. If it can't find floppy0 it will then boot from the harddisk.

These settings are not written in stone. They're only a starting point to get the emulator up and running. Later on, I'll post more refined settings for increasing the over all speed of emulation.

Here's my .uaerc file. These settings give the fastest emulation speed so far. It's still too slooow to play games, but many applications are useable.
