Here's the real question to ask about Amiga 2005. . . . is it even worth buying?  I have Amiga Forever 6  (AF) and didn't really "get it" when I loaded it on my PC.  I had visions of running a fully blown Amiga within a window and only got cute little 1.3 boot screens, with the ability to do really . . nothing.  Maybe it's just me, which is mostly likely the case here, but I didn't find AF really worth while.  Anyone know a good place to be taught how to fully use AF? I'm not a programmer, seems like you almost need to be to make certain things work, and would like to give it a second shot.

Didn't you try the 3.x configuration?  It starts an emulation with a hardfile that has some software already installed.  If you read the documentation and look at the AF website you can learn how to use adf's (Amiga disk files) to load other programs into the emulation.

Are you familiar with the term RTFM!


Amigadave -

  I RTFM and still have problems, I guess thats why we have helpful forums like this one, so friendly people can help out the newbs and people like me who are out of touch with Amiga for the last 10 years or so....

ANYHOW. . .

I can navigate in Amiga Forever 6 just fine now, works great, but have come across an unfamiliar, or forgetten, problem.  I've loaded some .ADF games to my virtual Amiga drive, my local F:\ on my PC.  When I go to use it, with in the 3.x environment, the Icon to display the game is a Wrench first off, then when I double click the game disk 1 I get the following error -

Bandit Kings of Ancient China (1991)(Koei)(disk 1 of 2)(a).adf: File is not exacutable
Bandit Kings of Ancient China (1991)(Koei)(disk 1 of 2)(a).adf Failed returncode 10

Now, this means to me is that the game file is either not a playable game or is not reable by Win UAE.  I thought Amiga Forever was able to read .ADF files? Or am I doing something wrong in the way I load it for my Amiga Forever to read it?
