PC install to real Amiga

darkwave · 12 July 2006, 15:02

Is there an easy way of setting up a ClassicWB install via emulation and transferring it to a real Amiga via a network.

I have no CD drive in my real Amiga and I'd quite like to get it set up with a few installs of some of my CD32 games, and also some other CD apps. I have a PCMCIA network card and a full version of Amiga Forever.

In theory could I make an install and zip it, then have ClassicWB unzip my full install when it extracts itself?

No problem. You can unpack the ZIP archive on top of your existing Workbench and it will work. (You should ZIP your existing WB first, to have a backup).

But why don't you just put the Amiga's HDD into the PC, install everything with WinUAE as you like and then put it back into the Amiga ?

I agree, I've tried this method and it works a treat!

stick the hd in the pc, use the emulator to set the amiga up, then put the hd back into the amiga.... simple
