Amiga with 1Mb Chip RAM on Dreamcast

[Zadoc]

Cheaper than a real A500?

I bought my used Dreamcast for about $15 from a local gaming shop.

How to use real Amiga floppies?

Obviously, you have to transadf them and then you can pop them onto the CD.  I don't think this emulator has been programmed to acknowledge a CD change yet (as most other emus for the dreamcast do, allowing you to put more .adf/etc images on another CD) but it's early yet.

I'm surprised the Dreamcast has the gusto to emulate an a500 at reasonable speed (happily surprised though).

It says virtual keyboard support.

It means that 'virtual keyboard support' has been added.  Dreamcast Keyboards were your only option with the first few versions.

a no go so far.. I've tried burning demomenu and dc hakker..both give me a weird message

Try using SelfBoot Inducer.  It will let you make a bootable discimage for DiscJuggler and Nero.  Just drop all of your files into an empty directory, add an IP.BIN file and you should be all set.  Worked for me.
