If you replace the internal drive then you could hang the device out of the side of the computer case, ugly but functional. The biggest issue with the UFE is that unless you are able to easily access the rear of your Amiga then switching images could be a mild pain. It could easily be removed and placed on an extension cable for custom installs. The small screen is clear and bright but you may find that you won’t be able to see long filenames, so keep them as short as possible or at least keep the most descriptive part of the name at the start.
Pairing the UFE with a DF0:/DF1: switcher will give you a flexible system allowing you to boot from disk or ADF as required and you should have no issues with games which must be loaded from DF0. Having tried a number of game images with the UFE set as DF2: I had very little luck. If you want to use the UFE to load games then using it as DF0: is your best bet. This will give you the time needed and if connected as an external drive you can select the UFE as the boot device. You could hold both mouse buttons after a reboot to get the Startup Menu (Kickstart version dependant). There is a small speaker that clicks away just to reassure you that things are working.īooting from an ADF image could be tricky as you need time to select the image. Once back at workbench you can click through your images which will appear on the desktop. Press F10 to save and the Amiga will reboot. If you have a lot of ADF images this may take a while. This allows you to assign your ADF images to one of the numbered slots available on the device. You should see a mounted floppy disk with the FFManager program. Then you need to drop your ADF images on there too, you could use sub folders or just dump everything on the root.Ĭonnect the UFE with your Amiga switched off and boot into Workbench.
AMIGA EMULATOR DOWNLOAD
The UFE uses the FlashFloppy system as used by the popular Gotek drives, although to complete the set up you are required to download two files (HFE and CFG) and drop them onto the root of the USB or MicroSD storage. If you do choose to replace the internal drive you can use the original floppy cable but will need to supply +5v and GND connections. Used this way, power is drawn from the drive port. Set the small switch to inform the board that it is an external drive and plug it in. The simplest method is to use the external floppy port on the back of any Amiga. At the time of writing this can be yours for €43.ĭespite the small size, the board offers two methods of connection to the Amiga.
AMIGA EMULATOR UPGRADE
The current version received an upgrade which saw the addition of a rotary dial for much faster and easier ADF selection. This handy device allows you to store your collection of ADF images on either a USB stick or MicroSD card (but not both at the same time) and have the Amiga access them as though they are true floppy disks. The creator of the UnAmiga, Edu Arana, brings us the Amiga Ultimate Floppy Emulator.
