Well I wouldn't mind paying for a key if it works allright.
But problem is now that it freezes on startup.
Maybe I should checkout frodo?
Or is there a problem with 060 and magic64?
Too bad I can't run morphos only mediator.

It'll be hard getting the key file. I tried for ages to contact the makers. The website they give in the readme file just had a link to porn.
Frodo version 2 is the emulator I use on my A1200 060. To get the best speeds you need either a graphics card or if you use Fblit and Blazewcp (plus other speed up hacks) you can get it running at 100% with a frame skip of 2 or 3.
The most recent frodo on the amiga is compatible with more games but a lot slower.
Oh and dont use playsid.library(unless u have a really powerful amiga) for sound use the other sid library as its much quicker.
Alternativly you could get yourself a real C64 and get one of the cables that lets u transfer games from Amiga to C64 giving you the best speed, sound and frame rate for your games :-D

Downloaded a few games .d64 and tried to run them.
They load in nicely but then don't run.
I did try blue max turrican and blue baron.
Something I should do with these files to get them going?
 

Im confused you say they load in nicely but dont run?? So how do you know they loaded in nicely??
Some D64's dont work without 1541 emulation. Others wont work if you use LOAD"*",8,1 because the first file isnt the game file. So if you havent already use this method when loading games
LOAD"$",8
LIST
then use the arrow keys to go up to the line with the game file on and type LOAD at the front and ,8,1 at the end
then when its loaded type RUN. Im sure it crashes out with an error message if the game is not compatible without the 1541 emulation
