Total noob needing help with Amiga Forever
Hi,
As the title says, another noob needing some help. I think this is a pretty simple question (apologies if it's covered elsewhere, I did look but couldn't find anything...) and I'm probably just being dense. I got Amiga Forever 2006 the other day, as well as some old Amia games (specifically, Stunt Car Racer and Hoyle's Book of Games) but I can't seem to get either game running. I've used some emulators, such as DOSBox, before, but for some reason WinUAE just baffles me. I read somewhere that to load the .adf files I needed to put them in the 'games' folder of Amiga Forever, which I did, but because they didn't have .adml files I put them in the 'Unsorted Files' file. But when I load Amiga Forever neither game shows up. I read somewhere that I need to load each .adf file as if it where a floppy disk by doing... something... but I'm not sure how. So could anyone give me step-by-step advice? Sorry if this has already been covered or if I'm just being incredibly stupid, and thank you for any help. ^^; |

Welcome to EAB, Kitt.
 Have you tried this FAQ? http://www.amigaforever.com/troubleshooting/ And why not try one of these WBs: http://classicwb.abime.net/ |

WinUAE changes discs by pressing F12 when running.

LOL
 I know that marco, thought I'd link to another less obvious source as all new users read EAB's >> Amiga FAQ << plus Rules & Help after joining don't they?  Ok, ok... Guess I should have also linked specifically to Amiga Emulation and Paul's great guide; How do I run a basic Amiga Game via Quickstart in WinUAE?
