Getting downloaded games to work

[Munchkin]

First of all. A normal PC floppy drive can't read or write Amiga format disks. I imagine you're using HD floppy disks as well, something the Amiga most likely cannot read unless you have a rare HD floppy in your Amiga.

Second. ADF's are image files. This means you need to write them to the disk, not just copy the file for it to work.

So, a copy of the ADF file on a HD floppy will not work because of these reasons.

You have no harddrive in your 1200 I gather. That makes it a bit trickier. There is a solution to make it possible to write ADF's on a PC floppy but they do cost a bit. I'd say the easiest solution for you is to get a Gotek drive and put inside your 1200 instead of the floppy, or an external one in the external floppy port. That way you can save the ADF's to an SD card on your PC and then move it to your gotek drive and load them that way.

It is a bit of work, and some money, to get things going. Though, it's in some ways easier today since there are many alternatives to use that didn't exist 25 years ago.

If you know someone that has a fully working amiga that can write those ADF's to disk for you it's an easier, and cheaper, solution of course.

There's also the PCMCIA slot on your 1200 of course, but since I've never had a computer with one of those I have no idea what choises there is for that.

But the rabbit hole can get very deep, and expensive, if you start getting things for it..

There are alternatives, but it's of course another thing that cost a bit, to make it possible to use the external port as DF0:

Like this:

Personally I wouldn't want just a gotek because there are disks around and with only a gotek you can't do anything with them. If you never plan to ever use disks then just a gotek is fine of course.

That will not work on the OPs A1200 😉

You're right of course. There are probably similar solutions for the 1200.
