A500 roms to 3.5 disk help
« on: December 24, 2010, 02:52:27 PM »
Hi folks,
 
I have just dusted off my A500 from the attic and are trying to impress its virtues onto my 9 year old xbox 360 loving son....
He likes the games I can get to work (especially batman the movie and blood money!); problem is 90% of the disks appear to be knacked!!!  Have been up there 15-20 years so I suppose its par for the course.
I have seen that the files can downloaded from the web, can I simply download the file, unzip it then copy to floppy???
Will have to buy a floppy drive so don't want to waste money if this won't work.  Don't want to go down the emulator route either, have now set Amiga up for him in spare room on old portable and its going well.  Run MAME on pc and like it but would prefer the Amiga in its true form (sad old nostalgic git:))
Thanks in advance
