General Panel

Use this panel to change general settings, such as the screenshot and video format, or the behavior in fullscreen mode.

Screenshots

The options in this category allow the user to customize the source, layout and target format of a screenshot.

Screen captures

vAmiga features a screen recorder that utilizes FFmpeg as a backend. The options in this category allow the user to set various recording parameters. Please note that FFmpeg cannot be bundled with the emulator due to licensing constraints. Before using the screen recorder, you must manually install FFmpeg on your computer.

Snapshots

vAmiga can be configured to take a snapshot at regular intervals. Originally, This option was added to master difficult games. Please keep in mind that snapshots are intended for being used as temporary save-points and not as a long-term preservation format. A snapshot created with the current version of vAmiga will most likely not be readable in the next.

Full screen mode

The first option lets you select the full-screen layout. The second option determines whether the ESC key should function as an emulation key or as a control key to exit the full screen mode.

Miscellaneous

The options in this category determine how vAmiga should react to certain events such as ejecting a floppy disk or closing an emulator window. For example, one option determines how vAmiga will behave when a floppy disk containing unsaved data is ejected. Unlike other emulators, vAmiga is designed to not modify media files. For example, if an ADF has been inserted into a floppy drive, the floppy disk can be modify without hesitation. The original ADF remains untouched. The disadvantage, however, is that you have to export a disk manually to preserve the new content.
