Ok let's get on with the actual emulation of the Amiga.

V1.1, released 1985 Seperate Kickstarts for PAL (50Hz) and NTSC (60 Hz) Amiga computers. V1.2, released 1986 Kickstart now automatically.

System Requirements Emulating the Amiga is a CPU-intensive task. So the first requirement is a reasonable CPU - something in the order of 1GHz or higher.

A fast CPU isn't a necessity however, as there are ways in which we can reduce the CPU load by reducing the strict accuracy of the emulation, though this may cause glitches and problems. Even though the original Amiga 500 only had a 7MHz CPU, which by today's standards is laughable, it actually takes a lot of CPU power to emulate the Amiga. The reason for this is simple: the emulation software has to do all of what was done in hardware on the Amiga in software mode using your CPU. More importantly, all of this functionality has to be done in such a way as to be 100% accurate, including the various chipset timings and built-in functions which are very complex.

There is no way around it, you need a reasonable CPU to get smooth emulation. 3ds Max Vray Video Tutorials. Fortunately any modern CPU such as 2GHz or higher Intel or 2200+ or higher AMD CPUs should be more than capable of this. A high-end graphics card and sound card aren't necessary, as most of the work is done on your CPU. However a dedicated sound card may help in reducing sound glitches and provide better sound reproduction. You will need to be running a modern Windows OS for WinUAE to work at its best.
