SniffEmu

Amiga CLI tool to "detect" if the system is running in emulator.

Description

SniffEmu is a small CLI tool to "detect" if the system is running in emulation-like environment, e.g. UAE. I use it to conditionally execute parts of Startup-Sequence, e.g. to can skip FBlit when the OS is booting on PiStorm.

Usage: SniffEmu HELP/S RTG/S SND/S MODE

MODE is one of EMU68, UAE or MUSASHI. RTG/S allows you to specifically look for the emulator's RTG card, so you can e.g. set up the proper screen mode.

SND/S allows you to look for the emulator's sound card. This currently works only with UAESND card in WinUAE.

Example:

> SniffEmu EMU68
SniffEmu: Looking for board: 28019:-1... NOT FOUND

> SniffEmu RTG UAE
SniffEmu: Looking for board: 2011:96... FOUND

If the emulator (or RTG) was detected, the program will set the returncode to WARN. Otherwise, it'll be OK.

Example script:

C:SniffEmu RTG UAE >NIL:
If WARN
  Echo "Found UAE RTG!"
EndIf

Note: MUSASHI support is currently untested. If anybody uses it, let me know about the results ;).
