Title: Amiga Emulator
Post by: Freddies Ferret on Saturday, June 8, 2013, 20:17:50
Feeling a bit nostalgic and really want to play some old Amiga 500 games. Does anyone know any decent emulators and games source? cheers

I use Winfellow and FSUAE

Not the easiest to use but good emulators.

For games I use http://www.freeroms.com/amiga.htm and http://www.emuparadise.me/Amiga_ROMs/4

Enjoy.

Haven't used i since my old pc died. If you are still stuck with other emulators I''ll try and find time to get it going over the next few days.

Cheers batch! Yesterday I was chatting to my brother in law (20 year old) and he had never heard of Amiga! How depressing for him :(

There's plenty of decent emulators for macosx now also.
Of course not many people realise you can visit this place in Swindon.
http://www.museum-of-computing.org.uk/

They have pretty much every major console and computer set up to play.

Seems not many people know about it

Cheers batch! Yesterday I was chatting to my brother in law (20 year old) and he had never heard of Amiga! How depressing for him :(

its mainly here http://www.vware.at/winuaehelp/ but:

1. install WINUAE after downloading from web.

2. you need a kickstart ROM (basic OS stuff). I have put a 1.3 one in batch.me.uk/AMIGA (my site seems down right now, should be back by tomorrow - silly free host!

3. Start winUA. In the settings select "paths" on the left pane.
   point "system roms" to your kickstart rom that you will download from my site.
  

4. Download a rom (you can hopefully find on the web). I've put KO 2 in batch.me.uk/AMIGA as example,
   when you start winUAE
   - select "quickstart" from the left pane
   - Make sure A500 is selected as model.
   - in the main pane, click "select image file" and point it at game ROM
   - finally select the "start" button.

5. You may need to update directx

The KO2 ROM I provided will load a "cracked" screen. Double click mouse to advance, eventually the game loads !
On my laptop defaul control for player 1 seems to be via numberpad, 8 up, 2 down, 4 left, 6 right, 5 fire/select.

Video, sound and joystick and other settings - good luck :)

Great stuff. I'll remove the Amiga bit off my web site in a day or two.
