AREOS Plus free for everyone until tomorrow

Registered and got e-mail through very quickly.  Had fun downloading the .img file and enjoyed the 'nerdy' CLI aspect of the interface - who needs icons? Sadly, can't get the image to work.  Have uncompressed it using 7zip and wrote to memory card using windiskimager (as I have done with previous images) but when I put the SD card in the Pi and boot, all I get is a blank screen.  Tested with a different image (Raspbian)  which was fine so either I'm doing something wrong or the image is not working.  Help?

New day - having another go!  Problem is that it takes time - my internet is pretty slow so download takes ages and the writing to SD card takes ages again so the whole process takes double ages!!!
 
I have tried the public version before so will be very interested to try the full version with the lx thingy going on!
 
Does this incudle UAE for 68K games and programmes?

@havie
Did you use a 8gb Card? It does not work/fit on all 4gb Cards.

Well - got it working and it's pretty impressive!  SD card was 16gb or 8gb but nothing was still happening so panicked and thought I'd killed the Pi.  Tried Riscos and everything worked - panic over.  Then fiddled with the hdmi control in Windows and it worked.  Strange as I have never had problems before with other OSes.
 
Amiga emulation isn't too bad (although I miss AGA).  Speed is ok.  Love the way that the two OSes overlap - pretty seamless.  Are there any more options or onlt those from the front end?  Can I use a hdf?  Will there be JanusUAE type integration that runs Amiga from Aros (or other way around)?
 
Great work chaps.
 
P.S.  Struggles a little bit with  my wireless adaptor - sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
