![]() ![]() We’ve been on the “Home” icon, lets move to the floppy icon. We’re going to move along the icons on the top bar, setting where we need to. Dont be tempted by the accelerators as they need their own ROMs which we haven’t downloaded yet. Move up and right to the Amiga Model where we’ll switch the first combo to A1200 and the second to “3.1 ROM, 68020 CPU”. Go to the text field where it currently says “Unnamed Configuration” and change that to “A1200”. I still haven’t figured out what the dark grey strip at the bottom is for. Close the windows so you are back at the main screen. In my case, its just a single ROM for the A1200, you may have ROMs for other machines too. ![]() Navigate to the parent folder of the ROM files and click import. Whether you just have the 3.1 ROM I mentioned above or you bought the AmigaForever DVD with a bunch of ROMs, we can click that blue square in the top left and choose “Import Kickstarts”. The first thing we’re going to do is import the Kickstart ROM. We have our emulator, and we have our Kickstart ROM image and we have 6 floppies that represent the Workbench disks. 3.1.4 is almost identical except for an extra disk, 3.2 is distributed on CD and is more complicated.Įither way, you should end up with the following files available to you somehow. The rest of this tutorial assumed 3.1 from AmigaForever for simplicity. This updated Kickstart/ROM combination can be purchased via Hyperion Entertainment. More recently a team of volunteers has been updating that classic Software and released first 3.1.4 and now 3.2. The last “official” version of the Kickstart/Workbench was 3.1 back in the early 90s and this version can still be purchased via Cloanto on the AmigaForever CD. ![]() Both the ROMs and software are proprietary and if you don’t have a real Amiga you can use, you’ll need to buy them somewhere. This allowed the OS to load up from an 880K floppy disk because lots of what was required didn’t need to be on the disk. The Amiga stored a bunch of its operating system on ROMs inside the machine called Kickstart. I assume its for games and I don’t much care about them so you can probably save a few Mb by just copying the launcher. You’ll want to head to and click on the “latest version”ĭrag the FA-UAE icons to the Applications shortcut and you’re done. You can even run it on a Raspberry Pi, I use a Mac, so that’s what I’m going to talk about here. The UAE Emulator is available for all kinds of platforms. So to get started playing with an Amiga the easiest thing to do is install an Emulator. ![]()
