How to play non ADF LHA files
Hi, hoping somebody can point me in the right direction how to pla games that come as an nfo file/non ADF/LHA files?
For example I'd like to play tiny galaga but the download contains only the files below, one of which doesn't even have a file extension: aYS_Tiny_Galaga aYS_Tiny_Galaga.nfo Also the game Jump. This time it's an info file then a bunch of files, how do I install/play this format? Thanks.. |

The file without an extension should be an Amiga executable. You should copy it to an Amiga HD and with the .info file you should see an icon when you view the file in Workbench.

If you have a gotek you could use ADF Workshop to put those files into an adf. As TCD said, the main file runs from the one with an .nfo extension on Workbench. The .nfo need to be renamed to .info to be an icon that works iirc.

Thanks for the help. I did try coping the files to a drawer but hadn't renamed the file, so maybe that's the issue.

Once you have it in a drawer, hold down the right mouse button and select 'Window -> Show -> All Files' from the top menu. Double click on the file without the extension and hopefully it will start
