AMIGAplus Emulator: Status Quo of UAE for Mac OS X
Both the port of the Unix Amiga Emulator for Mac OS X by Marin Saric and the development of Max UAE by Alex Kasic have been on ice for several weeks. AMIGAplus editor Wolfgang Böhl reports on the status of UAE for Mac OS X:

The current Mac-modified source code version 0.8.22 beta 1 of Max UAE emulator was placed online at the beginning of January. This means that compilation attempts and continued development by third parties are theoretically possible.

From the assortment of alternatives Wolfgang Böhl took a look at the UNIX sources, compiled them for the Mac OS X kernel, and tried to get them running with Apple's X11 offering. And look: it works! After the first problems with a high crash tendency the emulator port is fairly stable. Nevertheless there are problems with mouse emulation and poor performance. Accordingly, a graphical configuration menu is being prepared right now.

With wideranging programmer experience nothing should stand in the way of a successful port of UAE to Mac OS X. On that basis we applaud the contributing coders!
