GUI Expansions

Expansions Panel

This panel configures expansion boards, CPU accelerator cards, and miscellaneous expansion devices for the emulated Amiga. Changes to most settings require a restart of the emulation.

Expansion Board Settings

This section is disabled while emulation is running.

Category dropdown

• Filters the board list by expansion type. Categories:
  • Built-in / Internal
  • SCSI Controllers (AutoConfig)
  • IDE Controllers
  • SASI Controllers
  • Custom / Other
  • PCI Bridge Boards
  • x86 Bridge Boards
  • RTG Graphics Cards
  • Sound Cards
  • Network Cards
  • Floppy Controllers
  • x86 Expansion Boards

Board dropdown

• Selects the expansion board to configure from the filtered list.
• Boards that are currently enabled are marked with * (single instance) or [N] (multiple instances).
• Board names include the manufacturer name in parentheses where available.

Unit

• Selects which instance of the board to configure (for boards that support multiple units).
• Only available for Zorro II/III boards and clockport devices.

Enable Board

• Enables or disables the selected expansion board in the emulated system.

Subtype

• Selects a specific variant or revision of the board (only shown when the board has subtypes).

SCSI ID

• Sets the SCSI device ID (0–7) for boards with a SCSI ID jumper.
• Avoid conflicts with other SCSI devices in the configuration.

ROM Image

• Selects the ROM image file for the expansion board.
• If multiple ROMs are available for the board type, a dropdown is shown; otherwise a text field is displayed.
• Click ... to browse for a ROM file (.rom, .bin).

Disable Autoboot

• Prevents the board from booting automatically (only shown for boards with an autoboot jumper).

PCMCIA inserted

• Simulates PCMCIA card insertion (only shown for PCMCIA devices such as A600/A1200 PCMCIA cards).

24-bit DMA

• Limits DMA transfers to the 24-bit address space (only shown for boards that support this option).

Board Settings

• Board-specific jumper and configuration options. These vary by board and may include checkboxes and dropdown selectors.

Accelerator Board Settings

Accelerator Board

• Selects the CPU accelerator board type to emulate.
• Selecting a board automatically sets the appropriate CPU model and adjusts PPC mode if applicable.

Subtype

• Selects the specific variant or revision of the accelerator board (only shown when the board has subtypes).

Boot ROM

• Selects the boot ROM image for the accelerator board.
• Only shown when an accelerator board is selected.
• Click ... to browse for a ROM file.

Board Memory

• Sets the amount of on-board RAM provided by the accelerator.
• Available sizes depend on the selected board and subtype.
• Only shown when the board supports configurable memory.

Jumper Settings

• Board-specific jumper configuration options for the accelerator (only shown when the board has jumper settings).

Miscellaneous Expansions

These options are disabled while emulation is running.

bsdsocket.library

• Emulates the Amiga bsdsocket.library using the host OS network stack, enabling TCP/IP networking in the emulated Amiga.

uaescsi.device

• Emulates a SCSI device for CD-ROM and hard drive access via the UAE SCSI layer.

uaenet.device

• Provides direct network device emulation using the host network interface (SANA-II compatible).
