Hey Buddy, can you lend a hand?

[Thellenbow]

OK, I confess. I’m cheap and not a techie. So, I down loaded the free version of WinUAE and tried to install it. Well, right away I knew I was over my head. Is there anyone willing to take me by the hand and walk me through the install or at least point me in the right direction. I can read, so even an internet site with step-by-step instructions would do. (Yeah, I know, creative people don’t read the instructions.) ;-)

What happened when you tried to install?  If you're more specific, we should be able to help (the really annoying bit is copying ROMs etc across :-) )

Well, I recall a window opening up asking for paramerters to run it and I just didn't understand what the settings ment.

Firstly, you'll need AmigaOS (both kickstart and WB).  Do you have a real Amiga?  If not, you'll need to buy Amiga Forever.

[Thellenbow]

I have OS 2.05 and an A500. ( I used to have an A2000, but someone stole it. Imagine that!)

[alx]

The first thing to do then is to copy those across.  IIRC WinUAE comes with an Amiga utility for copying the ROM - ask people here.  For the WB, an easier way would be to use Disk2FDI - do you have two disk drives installed in the PC?

[redrumloa]

You need KickStart ROM images at the very minimum if you want to play games, preferably KS1.3. Since you only have a machine with KS2.05 you will need to follow the instructions to rip your rom image and transfer it to the PC. If you want to use a modern Workbench then you are missing a whole bunch of stuff and I would recomend AmigaForever, at least the cheap download version.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks

Ha, ha, ha... Two disk drives in a PC? Are you kiddidng? I have two for my A500. I should have four. But all the software for PC's is on CD's. Who needs a disk drive let alone two (i.e. the IMac). I take it that this means I will have to do some disk swapping. Hey, been doing that for years. ;-)

[DanDude]

Wow, sounds like a lot to go through just to get UAE up.

I'm sorry, but i really could not resist telling you to go HERE for your replacement floppy  :-D I just can't help myself sometimes :-P

I wouldn't want to see your electric bill.

[gnarly]

Amiga In A Box makes the whole thing dead simple.

You will also need a 3.1 workbench disc, a 3.1 ROM and WinUAE IIRC.
