Which ClassicWB for me?
« on: May 29, 2015, 09:35:51 PM »
I just dusted off my Amiga 1200 and am resetting everything up.  It has an 040 accelerator and plenty of ram but stuck at stock 2MB Chip ram.  I will be using a PAL non-interlaced resolution.
 
 Which ClassicWB should I load, FULL, ADV, or ADVSP?  I am thinking Full but just double checking here.

If you are reloading the OS from scratch, I'd start with BetterWB first!  http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/BetterWB.htm

Your choice of eye candy after that should be easy.  ;)

I suppose if you really wanted to make it "classic", there's always this option.  :lol:

Lol!
 
 I just don't know what I'm doing currently.  I am using Winuae to mount the ClassicWB system drive then copying it to a compact flash.  I got that working but absolutely will switch to something different.  Gotta search for some tutorials.

Looks easy enough, I will download the ADFs and use the VirtualFloppy program. Gotta watch my Rangers in game 7 first tonight!!!
 
 *Edit- duh I can set it all up in WinUAE and just copy it over....

Does anybody other than me just set up their Amiga on their Amiga?  You know, use floppy disks and CD's?

I would but I'm really green with how to work things since I do not have floppies outside of workbench.  I need to figure out how to get ADF's over so transporting a winuae build seems like the easiest way.

Is it a question of getting an ADF image to the Amiga, or in using the ADF with programs such as DiskImage or ADF Blitzer?

Dan - I never worked with ADF images before. I can copy them over no problem as I have a PCMCIA CF card I use. I had the BetterWB up and running and backed it up. I'm now in process of setting up ClassicWB Full as it gives me a nice head start with preloaded apps.

I did have fun creating a custom boot disk that loads the pcmcia drivers and popped my old favorite disk master on it so I can easily switch things around now.

No I use WinUAE...much easier :)

I just mount my SSD module in WinUAE, set everything up then plug it into my A1200...easy.

I preferred the BetterWB and rolled back after I couldn't get igame / whdload working with any games on ClassicWB. But after installing WHDLoad in BetterWB I couldn't get anything working there either so back to the drawing boards and reading. This should be easier....
