Disclaimer: All the software on this web site is no longer marketed or distributed by the companies that created it. In fact most of them no longer exist (sadly).
The games are all at least ten years old and not sold by companies anymore. Also remind that the copyrights of them has expired.


That is nonsense. Copyright does not expire in 10 years (it's closer to 130-150 years, assuming the author lives normal lifespan). Those downloads are illegal. If some website has such "Disclaimer", you can be pretty sure it IS warez and illegal downloads.

Please edit out the link.

I believe there are many sites that offer amiga games and software that have been freed from their licenses.

www.back2roots.org was the only one I knew of, but it had special license for distrubution of each file. Those files were NOT freed from their license, however, and redistribution was not allowed.

Example of another legal site: http://www.dream17.co.uk/softography.php

Dream17 has been given permission from Team17 to host ADF and IPF (SPS) Disk images of their Team17 titles. Under no circumstances is anyone to re-distribute or leech these titles without the prior consent of Team17 Software Ltd. Dream17 would like to thank the Software Preservation Society for giving us access to the IPF disk images.

Note how they do not claim any license or copyright "expiration" or such nonsense.

There are many out there, but the one below, from what I read, only offers software where the licenses have been released.

Seriously now, you believe such nonsense?

@arkpandora

The obvious solution is to adjust the emulation timing to match the exact video frequency (50.12 for example). The difference is so insignificant you can't spot it, and timing is perfect then.
