UAE Project From [login to view URL]: "UAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who don't know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680x0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models." The purpose of this project is to get UAE compiled and running in Internet Explorer as ActiveX component. Then it should be able to run the amiga games that can be downloaded from various places on the internet. A special version of uae for windows is created and denoted winuae ## Deliverables UAE Project From [login to view URL]: "UAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000.

A special version of uae for windows is created and denoted winuae The source for winuae can be obtained from [login to view URL] A wrapper for winuae should be created so it can run as an activex component in internet explorer and work like the adobe flash player does. It should then be possible to boot from various rom images so you for instance could play old amiga games in your browser. These images are stored in a format called adf, see more at [login to view URL] Here is an example of how flash is embedded in a html page. <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" id="myMovieName"> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="[login to view URL]"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="/support/flash/ts/documents/[login to view URL]" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" NAME="myMovieName" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="[login to view URL]"> </EMBED> </OBJECT> We should mimic this so we would be able to embed the created amiga emulator in internet explorer for instance like <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-XXXXX-XXXX-444553540000" codebase="http://www.binaryconstructors.dk/pub/amiga/cabs/amiga.cab#version=6,0,40,0" WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" id="myMovieName"> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="[login to view URL]"> <EMBED src="/[login to view URL]" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" NAME="myMovieName" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-amiga" PLUGINSPAGE="[login to view URL]"> </EMBED> </OBJECT> we should be able to control what amiga file that are started. A special package format should be created so for instance games that spans several dics can be packaged into a single file and played in the browser. This should work so the disc' are inserted to the four possible drives when the plugin are started. [login to view URL] in the above refers to this special package format An installer should be created which can install the plugin on the targeted platform. Together with the standard rom that can run most of the games that are available. The following issues should be addressed during the project: - What should we do about save games. Should we offer an disc for the user that can be persisted and that games can used as storage for save information. - and what the resolution would be in the browser(or should the resolution be fixed? Depends on the possibilities in winuae. Test: Get rainbow islands and lemmings up and running in internet explorer. Platform: winxp, vista and internet explorer 7,8 links of interest: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL]
