Well, that's an odd question to be asked here, but here goes

#1 - Get WinUAE.

#2 - Read the documentation that comes with it.

#3 - Use TRANSROM to get the ROM off your real Amiga.
#3 - Alternatively, buy Amiga Forever from Cloanto. You'll get a few ROMs and other goodies.

#4 - Use TRANSDISK or Amiga Explorer to get images of your real Amiga disks and OS install disks.

(optional) - Get Amiga in a Box, which includes many useful things (requires a ROM and OS install disk to install).

Now, that's the legal way to get everything setup. Note that it requires a real, working, Amiga to do. I assume you have one

If not, most of the emulation is going to be tricky to understand.

You saw what?

I'd begin by flicking the power switch to the ON position

If you could elaborate a bit more about your problem, we would be able to help you a bit more!

A note: With just Amiga in a Box you wont be able to run Workbench squash because you need the actual workbench disks.

If this fails, get WinFellow

I thought about including this, but didn't mainly because I've never used WinFellow and don't know what it comes with or how to configure it. Maybe someday I will, but I rather like WinUAE
