    Amiga on the Lake is the name of the shop. Aaron is a great guy and
    does a lot to try to help the platform. He's also branching out into carrying hardware for other retro platforms as well. The website is
    well worth a look.


    Yup that's the place.. Aaron was phenominal when I bought AOS4.1 from him. I don't see myself buying any hardware unless he has a great deal on the Vampyre Stand alone.. I just can't see spening $600 plus on a box the size of a pI... I
    am emulating every OS on 1 PC and they work great.. Maybe if I hit the lotto I
    will buy the A1500.. ;)

    For what it's worth I believe he's looking into carrying the Vampyre, but
    I'm not sure of the status on that.

    I know he's carrying a lot of connectors, adapters, etc. that can be a challenge to find for classic hardware for Amiga, Atari, etc.

    I strongly agree with whoever said use Linux. I have been using FS-UAE quite a bit over the last month, and it's been rock solid. It probably wouldn't be terribly difficult to create an entry in the window manager to start an X session with just FS-UAE maximized... I don't have the time or energy right now
    to do it but if you look up how, for example, LightDM's config files work, it probably wouldn't be too hard. Well, I guess "hard" is all in the eye of the beholder...

    So, for now the bestr way is to install WinUAE, then ClassicWB and place the default.uae script in the windows start-up folder. You will also have to turn off the password prompt windows has. The at boot, Windows 10 will
    load. Then the Emulator will load.
    There are a few mnore detailed steps for the Emulator to load in full screen. But nothing to hard. Let me know what area your on and if you need any help.

    I am finding that FS-UAE is hella more stable than WinUAE is.. and you CAN minimize the windows without it going into an error loop .. and FS-UAE
    runs
    on all platforms (UAE/E-UAE forks are junk) .. I am using FS-UAE for
    Amiga side now.

    Well I have to endorse that. I have to comment this because after a long
    search for a good emulator I found FS-UAE and it was the best I could find.
    Now I'm writing in a terminal session, that I opened from the Emulator.

    And I had no problems with the FS-UAE. Could also find a lot of valuable documentation on the web.
