Amiga Forever still has a lot wrong with it, like the obfuscated adf images and encrypted ROM files.
It's just another example of how piracy can get you a more usable product than paying can.
Cloanto should know better.

Thank God someone mentioned that.
WinUAE is a great program.
Amiga Forever with its encrypted ROM files sucks.

Hi,

Just goes to prove what I have been saying all along, ya all ten years behind the times, just to give you an update, Windows has even surpassed Vista, they are using Windows 7 today, but they are working on Windows 8 and the beta version is out for you to test. So where does that leave XP, almost back in history with the Amiga. It is just that XP doesn't go back that far and is newer.

You all got to spend some money on getting newer equipmnet, and OS's.

By the way persia, prove what, that most of you are ancient, like the old smerf.


smerf

I don't know about Persia, Smerf, but I'll admit it. I'm ancient.

Cloanto must want some of us more vocal posters to give their product a whirl (since they gave me a free copy a few days ago).
I will say this, Amiga Forever has drastically improved since the last time I looked at it.
As long as you don't need any legacy hardware add-ons (like a Video Toaster), this package rocks!

So far, its worked with virtually everything I've thrown at it.
And the performance on my quad core PC is startling.

If running legacy software is your primary mission, then this package has an edge over running Amiga titles under an NG OS.

New woes...

How do i rename the kickstart roms or whatever so whdload works? I am either missing some, or as I recall, some of them need to be renamed or copied.

Also, I left for 7 hours and left the os3.x screen up. There's no screen saver built in. Blanker as I recall just blanks. whats a good screen saver I can use instead?

Steven

Why doesn't your PC screen saver kick in Steven?

BTW - I didn't notice before how close you are.

When I attend rock concerts I usually go to Philly.
