Newbie problem, Can't fingure out how to work Winuae
« on: July 10, 2007, 05:17:15 PM »
I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself (and that is probably everybody out there) can hold my hand and help me figure out how to work Winuae.

I grew up with an Amiga. I got my first Amiga computer, a 500 in 1987 when there were still shelves upon shelves of games in the stores. I was the envy of everyone in my school and neighborhood.

I sank deeper and deeper into a funk as the years went by and each time i went to the store to check out the games there were fewer and fewer for the amiga.

I would be happy if I could just play those games once again. But my 90% of my original game disks no longer work on my 2000hd or 500.

I have tried several times over the last 8 or 9 years to figure out Winuae, but have never been able to get it to work and give up frustrated each time. This is the only game emulator I have not been able to get working.

I dont claim to be half way compitent with the workings of Amigas, hacking save files with a hex editor was the extent of my amiga prowes. Now I just want to play these games again.

Can anyone help me?

I have Winuae v1.4.2 downloaded and have kickstart v1.3 set in the roms path (only kickstart I could find) I tried running a rom I downloaded for "The Faery Tale Adventure" (one of my all time favorite amiga games) but when I set it in the DF0 box it told me the adf "disk image was not compatible with the ROM replacement functionality"

it's pretty clear I have no idea what I am doing, but I don't know anyone personally that can help me and this is the only place I can find online where I might have a chance at getting some help.

that was it! thank you so very very much!

I can not begin to describe the feeling I got hearing the familiar music of Faery Tale Adventure. I still remember the security check passwords after all these years.

I can't thank you enough for helping me get these games running again. what a treat!
