Emulator Quickstart
This is the first tab on the Lemonade frontend. If you want to get a game up and running in seconds, then you can do so from this screen.
If you feel uncertain about any of the buttons or options, simply hold your mouse over them for a second to see some useful tool tips.
Amiga Model
On the left hand side of the screen it is possible to choose which Amiga model you wish to emulate - obviously if you do not possess a Kickstart ROM for any of these models, then you will not be able to emulate the missing one. The default model is the Amiga 500 - A lot of the games run on this model and it is advised that you leave it on this model for first time use.
Here you also find the 'Custom Configuration Manager', which allows the user to import WinUAE configurations that are required for certain games. First time users should not worry about this option.
Display
Here you can choose whether you want to run the game in full screen or windowed mode, and which resolution you which to use. Experiment as to which suits best.
Sounds
Sounds can either be enabled or disabled. You might find that certain games might run slower if sound is enabled, though this is less likely to happen if you have a modern PC. Again, it is best to experiment for the best options.
Floppy Disk Drives
To the right of the screen is the disk drive section - you can insert any disk file format that WinUAE supports, and when the Emulator is started, it will boot up the game automatically. it is also possible to change the number of active disk drives and the floppy drive speed. The speed goes up to 800% or Turbo mode but there is a chance that errors might occur with faster speeds. Drives can be emptied by hitting the 'Clear Drives' button.
Controls
At the bottom right hand screen is the controls box - It is possible to use the mouse, three different keyboard layouts or the Joystick. You can also configure the joystick so that it works properly by clicking the relevant option. Finally it is also possible to swap over ports which is required by certain games.
Start Emulator
The middle button is 'Start Emulator' which launches WinUAE. If you have selected to run WinUAE in windowed mode (see above) then the Lemonade fronted will move to the back behind the WinUAE screen.
