Post by: Lee_C on December 06, 2005, 07:15:56 PM: Hi All......

i'm a new member from Leeds UK, and have just got back into the "Amiga Experiance" after starting up my trusty A500 which ive had for years....

Unfortunatly a lot my old games are all broken now ... which is prity {bleep}y. but ive still got a few classics

Just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to download games from the internet and then write them to Amiga disks....

Anyway.... any knowlege would be cool

I'm also planning on doing a lot of sampling of Amiga game music, and probably a few mad remixes, so if anyone can remember some particulary good game tunes.. let me knows...

PeAcE...

You can download some Amiga titles legally from Back2Roots (http://www.back2roots.org) and write them to a real Amiga floppy disk using the Catweasel MK4 (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=206)

You may want to look at http://www.softpres.org/ (http://www.softpres.org/)

This was formerly known as CAPS and they preserve old Amiga software.

If you can prove ownership of a game I believe they will release a game capture to you. I don't know how easy it is to write this capture back to your original disk though.
