for what its worth i've been working on a port of e-uae for about a year now which uses sdl already plus impliments all the cpu emulation enhancements from winuae. it runs great, nice and fast full speed emulation on my laptop but iirc i had issues getting it to cooperate with the ports system. if interested i'll dig it up, and even since we don't like more than one tool for the job if we had a port for e-uae i don't think there would be a need for vanilla uae anymore as everything i tested (game disk images, workbench various releases, kickstart rom 1/2/3 etc) all work great in e-uae. regards, -ryan
