Short: Detect an UAE environment
Author: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Type: dev/misc
This small program demonstrates how to check,
whether the surrounding system is an UAE/P96
environment.
It comes with source code and includes two
routines, that you easily can integrate
into your own programs (permisson hereby
granted).
Now you can for example abort your programs,
when these are run by some incarnation of
UAE, or maybe supply an additional information
text like "better buy the real thing", or
something else.
How does it work ?
It relies on the fact, that any modern Amiga
and 68k emulation will only be fast, if it
can make use of RTG - such as the recent
implementation of Picasso96 for UAE.
Thus identification can easily be done
- a plain UAE, just emulating ECS, won't
be recognized, though. Yet.
