Just bought Amiga Forever and Have an iBook G4 and I've gotten myself turned around in all sorts of

directions. I'm reading all kinds of different things about how to install UAE on a mac ibook G4. My searchs on the internet have led me here. I need help on how to make sense of all of the files on the Amiga Forever CD Plus Edition. I've tried to unstuff things and apply files to the MaxUAE app. It keeps telling me I need the df0 file? Where is that on the Amiga Forever CD? Also, where is the kick.rom file and how do I extract it with the stuffit software? And how do I apply all of those together so I can get up and running. Is there anything I'm missing with the install process on a mac? Help truly needed here please? All is appreciated thanks guys.

Sincerely, ConfusedKitten :roll:

Yes I am a NEWB, for sure. Im pretty sharp though, and I feel that I just need to grasp all of the info re: certain version? Each version is in chronological order. So v1.3 is older and made before v3.0? And if that is so v3.0 is better and more efficient because technology improved between version dates? And is v3.0 the same as v1.3 except for newer additions to performance, speed, sound capabilities (sorta like windows 95 to 98 to 2000 to XP?) That is the kind of stuff I also need to know so I can get out of the newb Status or close to it. Thanks. Also I will try to seach for individual .adf files and .rom files, but everything is in .zip format with a "stuffit" icon attached to most, except for some .exe files and a "blank (black) screen" as its icon.

Also, in order to get MaxUAE running and ready to accept game files, all i have to do is click and drag the (so far unknown to me so far) .adf and .rom files to the MaxUAE app.?

Thanks again all. macG4gall  :-)  :idea:

Just got the hitoro its seems pretty good. Where do I place the Amiga files .adf>I want to play lemmings real bad.

Thanks Oli. In HiToro i can find the DF0: and many other tabs. My question would be, is the DF0:, DF1:, DF2:, DF3:, DF4: fields the places where I plug in the subsequent Disks 1 thru 4 for say the 1-4 disc names of the lemmings game I want to play? And if that is true (since I noticed by the file names of the lemmings game that there are 4 total disks for the lemmings game to work...?) then that means that I have established one part of the process to getting the game to work. It feels that once I plug in the subsequent files in the DF0:, 1,2,3,4 fields of the hitoro that I would need to put in an .ahi, workbench, .rom, or something else to simply get a game to run. Let me explain here, I really just want to start off by playing .adf game files to sort of ease into the amiga understanding of everything. Right now, i am not super interested in doing a ton of things, but more so about reliving me 80's flash backs as a teen. Maybe this might narrow down the total amount of options y'all could help me with.
I hope that makes sense. Thanks, MacG4Gal  :rtfm:

Thanks Oli. Yeah, I think i am going to try getting Amiga to work on both my G4iBook and my Windows 2000. As far as the windows 2000 goes: When will workbench be needed to get a game going? How instrumental is it in getting a game to work? The gui for WinUAE, is that much more user friendly than Hitoro? Hitoro seems pretty straight forward if I can just remember what each input field means what (e.g.- .rom,ram, etc.) Also, what does DD and HD mean. Is that Disk drive, Hard drive? With regards to WinUAE what are the three most important components when installing onto Windows 2000, to simply get Amiga games running?
Thanks again everyone, im slowly filling in the gaps of uncertainty. YaaaY!!! :idea:  :-)

So, what is Amikit? Does it take the place of the many workbench files that I already have on cd. I have many workbench files on cd but have not figured out how to implement them. So if there is a particular workbench version number that works with a particular game then I can do a search through all of those. That reminds me, is there a list of all of the games online that also states which type of workbench &/or Amiga 500, 2000, 4000 computer to plug in? Are those all of the correct Amigas? Mainly I want to explore all of the games world and am curious where the boundaries are. Has anyone seen the amiga games for the "vs Mario Bros" and other "vs." Nintendo arcade classics ive been looking for that series? I totally grew up on the Mario bros, nintendo family. Thanks, MacG4Gal :roll:

Gotcha. Ok so if there was a checklist of things to get the amiga up and running for .adf game files like lemmings what would it be (since I have Amiga Forever)?

1) WinUAE (double click-it will display fields for...)
2) Workbench version- #?
3) AmiKit- Placed where within the Windows 2000 / on the Amiga #?
4) Kick.rom is where on the Amiga Forever place it in which field?
5) Anything else need to be done to get a game working? For instance, if i simply copy & paste the games from my games cd to the PC harddrive and then simply paste the file name in the corresponding D0:, D1:, D2: etc.?

Anything more I missed to get WinUAE and .adf games working. Audio/Resolution adjustment?

P.S. What is UAE Kaillera? Is that to improve game performance?

Thanks,
