I bought Amiga Forever in the digital only version, had no issues with "delivery".  However, I would not buy it again.  The program is a complete kludge on anything other than WinXP, it's a complete gongshow under win7.  Save yourself the money and just grab ROM's, adf's and the emulator of your choice for your respective platform.


I have Amiga Forever and C64 Forever (download versions) and it works fine on my two 64bit Windows 7 machines.

Very strange...

To be fair to Cloanto, the version I have is a year old.  To be fair for me, I wish I hadn't bought it and I'm not paying for the latest version and I won't deal with the company again.    Updater doesn't, never has - worked for me.  Crashes.  The launcher has bad display issues with SLI PC's, yet WinUAE runs just fine on the same SLI PC's.  Suppose it's ok, it's not terribly expensive - I just wouldn't buy it again.  Bug reports have gone entirely unanswered.


So is mine and it updates automatically.

I think something else you have on your system is buggering the software up.  If you ever have to do a full system restore then install Amiga Forever afterwards and see if it works ok.

I think the first version I bought was 2006.  It, and every updgrade I've gotten since then, has worked without any problems.  Even the automatic updates work good.  From 32 bit Windows up  to 64 bit Windows 7.

I too can report no problem with it running under windows 7 64bit or XP and found it be a exceent package, But I can also report that they where very slow at sending out disk/dvd copy of Amiga Forever 2008 I think it was, but did give me a free extra digital copy for the mistake wich I gave to my brother who just enjoy the odd game on it and so it so easy to use special with the  Retro Platform that can pretty much identity the adf your trying and atomically set up to the run the game,  so my brother loves that not being an Amiga follower and knowing what requirements for each game are. Just wish a few more games and lot more software titles came with the package set up  would be nice, and Workbench 3.5 and 3.9 would also be nice extras.
