Once it is extracted you need to enter the newly created folder in a terminal. If not then you can use the command: tar xf e-uae* This can usually be done by right-clicking on the archive and selecting Extract Here.

Now you need to extract the bzip2ed tar archive you downloaded. (FIXME: Are any development packages needed, such as SDL ones?) You may also need zlib packages: sudo apt-get install zlibc zlib1g-dev These can be installed with: sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall This is source code and we must compile it.įirstly you will need the programs installed which let you build and install software. Put this somewhere logical in your home folder. A direct link to the latest version at the time of writing is here. The source code for E-UAE can be found on. Just install it using Applications>Add/Remove, System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager, or the following command line: sudo apt-get install e-uae These images are encrypted, however, and come with a decryption key for use with emulators.Į-UAE is available in Ubuntu repositories since Ubuntu 9.04 (and 8.10 with backports). In order to use one of these you must own some equivalent ROM chips (either in an Amiga or purchased separately) or you may obtain an image legally from Cloanto's Amiga Forever software. E-UAE contains a basic Kickstart image which may work for some simple games, but a full, official Kickstart is preferred. The operating system software is not always needed to run software on an Amiga, since many programs and games can be run by booting directly from the floppy disk drive, but a Kickstart is always needed. However, it does not provide any operating system software or the Kickstart ROM images, since these are copyrighted by Amiga Inc. NOTE: E-UAE emulates the Amiga series of computers based on the Motorola 68000 series of processors. E-UAE is Free Software under the GNU GPL. UAE is packaged in Ubuntu, but E-UAE isn't (yet) so this guide will tell you how to install it.

Richard Drummond (well known for his contributions to Amiga Format magazine, now he often writes articles for Linux Format) has taken many of these newer features and put them into a cross-platform program called E-UAE (what the E stands for is debatable). The Windows port of UAE, called WinUAE, has seen a lot of development however. UAE is quite old now, and is pretty much abandoned. UAE is the UNIX Amiga Emulator (Linux is UNIX-like) which lets you emulate an Amiga system, from the A1000 (the first Amiga) up to the A4000 (the last official 'classic' Amiga). Note: as of 05/16/09, e-uae packages are available in Ubuntu universe repositories for Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04, 9.10 and above. This page describes how to set up the E-UAE Amiga emulator in Ubuntu. This article is incomplete, and needs to be expanded.
