One option would be to use a Gotek drive either internal or external. I had this challenge with an A2000. My solution was to get a gotek and install it replacing DF0: (main floppy drive). https://www.amigakit.com/amiga-gotek-floppy-drive-emulator-grey-p-1284.html?aksid=aemcuud9uoelsli3islsvsj474&currency=GBP&aksid=aemcuud9uoelsli3islsvsj474 I could then download the .adf's and write them to a USB stick and used that to boot into WB3.1.

Good luck.

After 5 weeks and multiple ignored emails, I asked AmigaKit to cancel my order. I can get a Gotek here in the US, and I have parts to make up a battery setup, since it's identical to that on another retro computer I have and also planned to use the same Gotek on. At this point, I'm expecting AmigaKit to also ignore the cancel request and ship anyway!

Comments elsewhere I see about AmigaKit are less than stellar. I've since ordered from multiple retro vendors in the US and UK without problem. Uninspired introduction to the platform.

However, the Parceiro on my 1000 is exceptional. Highly recommend.

@F0LLETT
The original buyer did this weeks ago and even gave all the information over the phone, but there's been no response. What now?

*Edit*
The original buyer sent another email today with all the important information.

That sucks big time. Hope you manage to get it back.

I remember when my uncle had his A500 stolen in a break in. All he had left was the trap door, he had also peeled the warranty sticker and put it on trap door.
My father owned the only Computer shop in my home town at the time. So he told my father about it, and he told my uncle he had someone come in with a faulty A500, missing the trap door cover and warranty sticker peeled off. So he gave my father the trap door and the warranty sticker matched perfectly, so it was my uncles stolen A500.
Police got involved and were waiting for man to return, when he did they pounced,

. Happy ending, but mad how it all panned out.

In the interest of making the original game easier to find, I've bundled it all together with the latest engine build and uploaded to aminet here: https://aminet.net/package/game/shoot/AB3D2_TKG

After a quick check online it states the Value Edition of AF since AF 8 are likely to have ROM's with XOR encryption making the ROM file approx. 1kb larger eg 513kb rather than the standard 512kb. This is coupled with a rom.key in the ROM folder. There are 128kb and 256kb ROMs also that this would apply to.

It also states AF Plus Edition and Premium Edition since AF 8 do not have this encryption system and are unencrypted.

My AF 11 Premium downloadable package has unencrypted ROMs.

Interesting to know. So if people have Value Edition, they will have issues.

I got registered and updated from the A1200 NG menu (firmware) but can't use the updater in Amibench. Obviously still bits to sort.

Updater in amibench should not be there. All updates at present are done through main GS/NG GUI updater.

@amigakit

I have the same problem as the second owner; I can't register it anymore either.

Is there a more convenient solution, or is it enough that I've sent you a message with all the information?

The original owner needs to email support, saying they have sold it on. It can then be deregistered from them and you can then be registered in their place.

3) I get this, as it see's all access points on network. In my case, I have a alot of mesh's. About 6, I just pick top one, which is normally the closest.

5) Just rename the file to .hdf. I created a few hdf's for use with Zulu, just renamed the to either .img or .hda to work with Zulu. So it will be the visever for .img/.hda.

Please spread the word on these videos. For some reason, the moderators at the Commodore Amiga forum on Facebook are deleting my messages on these, and the videos are definitely Amiga-related.
