>BTW, forgot to mention AmigaForever. It is not free, but not a very big layout. I guess the Plus version is the one to go for and was thinking of maybe purchasing it along with C64forever. Its a shame that the latter is not bundled with the former. Does anyone recommend this one?

No, it is just WinUAE plus shovelware. You can get the WinUAE emulator that it uses for free at http://www.winuae.net

That's exactly the sort of gotcha that one would like to avoid so thanks for pointing that out.

To be fair, though, if you don't already have a legal copy of the ROM(s) you use, Amiga Forever gives you that - which is hardly "shovelware".

Presumably he paid for his ROMs when he bought his Amiga, no need for him to pay again...

I got the impression from the above postings that he didn't own any physical Amiga, and at least three different ROMs are mentioned (so to cover that he would have to own those three models).

And it's up in the air at the moment who has rights to what anyway.

Maybe, but somebody has them, and until we hear otherwise, by all accounts Cloanto has a valid license from that "somebody" to distribute them.

Best regards,
