Getting downloaded games to work

[loz]

Thanks everyone,  I just wanted to double check that the gotek option works and without problems I'm not aware of before I spend about £50

I have just been looking at the possibility of using amiga explorer and a null modem cable and wrighting the adf files to disc on the amiga . Bit of a learning curve here , my lap top only has usb ports not 9 pin data connector , I can get usb2 to db25 connector ( calls it a printer cable ) Whats the chance of it working ? doesnt seem to be many pins in a usb . Also would the amiga be able to use the HD floppys i bought , just regard them as standard size ?

According to the Cloanto website you can use a USB serial cable but you will then need to get a DB9 to DB25 serial adapter and all should work fine. Just make sure you get the proper orientation of connectors - Male/Female.

Regarding the floppies, yes they will work in DD (double-density = 880kb= normal) mode. Back in the day we used to buy HD floppies because were cheaper than DD floppies and they worked fine on normal Amiga floppy drives.
