What about if the winner turns out to be English? :)

If somone english wins the compo I will fill the A600 with Jelly before sending on.
 
I will have to check if I still got the power supply etc for the A600.  it might be just the wedge only.  But better than nowt

Hi,

How can i get any of the programs onto my Amiga 1200?

I dont have any of them installed on my HD.

Can i download the IHA file and copy it onto a floppy disk using my windows PC?

is it that simple?

Sound like a good idea to me, you wouldn't need the power supply anyway if an Engil won it, they wouldn't know how to plug it in anyway... :lol:

Sorry crawff, but I assume your trying to download something on a PC and me and PCs don't mix, so I have no idea about what format PC floppies are.

The only way I know to transfer downloaded stuff from my Mac are via usb onto a memory stick/card or burning them to a cd or dvd, but then this of course means you need a USB card on your A1200 (eg:SubWay) or a DVD/CD drive...

Sorry mate other than that I can't help here... :(

(Start a new thread in the Amiga general questions section as that will show up on the main page thread list where someone will be sure to answer this for you, not many people look in this section so you've got less chance of getting your answer here...)

Hi crawff, sorry I wasn't here to help earlier. You should indeed be able to download these files, save them to a 720kb floppy disk, then copy them onto your Amiga and extract them there. As long as you have the PC0 DOSDriver in Devs:DOSDrivers/ they should show up like any regular floppy disk.

You really should have a look into getting yourself a cheap PCMCIA card reader though! These things cost next to nothing, and will allow you to read 2GB SD cards and any size CF card, depending on the adapter you get. The drivers for them are freely available on Aminet, so if you have a local PC shop see if they have one, it makes transferring files so much easier and faster than using floppy disks.

If you'd like to download Backbone you'll probably be better off getting the smaller components rather than the large Full archive, which won't fit on a disk. Here are the links to the Backbone files you'll need:

http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/Backbone_main
http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/Backbone_Key
http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/Backbone_proj
http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/Backbone_Upd

These are the main files you need for the game creator package. There are also some example games made in Backbone on Aminet, but they're not required. Make sure you install the main archive first, then install the update.

Good luck with everything, I hope you can make a game out of all this, or at least just have more fun using your Amiga! :)

Hello!
