system.zip file? - Page 3

Hi retrouser2011, minimig, that is a 68000 CPU only yes? Then you need the 68k version. I'll up it to the zone for you.

sorry join what? i only registered today & have already looked in the zone for that file but i looks like it have now been deleted? thanks.

thanks for that it's been a while since i last owned an Amiga 500/1200 & i've forgot how to do most of it.

Actually, check your pm shortly I'll upload it somewhere else (minus the Workbench and ROM files).

13 March 2011, 15:15

yeah that's fine thanks again can't wait to finally get the minimig up & running!

Welcome to EAB, and the System.zip file has now been pm'ed to you.

Once decompressed on your minimig, you need to run through the install procedure and insert a Workbench disk/s when asked to do so.

Also, you need to add ROMS for WHDLoad: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=38299

excellent thanks so much for this i didn't think i would get a response today, but thanks again really apreciate it.

No problem. You'll find you can get loads of help on here, in the chat rooms and from fellow minimig users.

Always nice to have a new member coming back for some Amiga action!

I guess this needs moving to the ClassicWB forum, as it's not really a WinUAE support issue.

thanks but i knew it was to easy i have my minimig already setup with workbbench 3.1 & it's set as dh0: thing is when i copy that system file over to my sd card & load install.adf it comes up system.zip cannot be found on dh0: any ideas?, i'm not sure if i'm suppose to see dh0: on my sd card when viewed on a pc.

fitzsteve · 13 March 2011, 16:46

I don't think you need to run the installer ADF, thats for real Amiga's.

I think you need to extract the .zip file onto your card and then when booting on the Minimig it will ask you for workbench disks to activate.

I'm not sure though if Minimig requires an Amiga formatted partition as I've not used one before.

I'm sure someone who knows better will be along soon.

Steve.

Hi i've tried to extract the file to the sd card but half way through i get errors, i think i need to mount dh0: or something i wish i had kept my amiga 1200 now as this is becoming a pain lol thanks.

Bloodwych · 13 March 2011, 16:59

Like fitzsteve, I'm not sure how hard drive emulation works on minimigs having not owned one. If it uses HDF's, you may not even need to uncompress a zip!

You'll need to do some research or hope a minimig user appears (or start a new thread about minimigs and hard drive usage). There must be some info about minimigs around the place.

it does use hdf files but, i tried just loading the classic workbench hdf & it just goes back to the main screen with the animated disc. i have looked on google for the last week but it's not clear information or only bits of information nightmare thanks.

still no luck how do i go on making a new thread/post? thanks.

First go here to make your hdf with rdb and set max transfer to 0x1fe00 and press enter to save this setting!!

Once you'll have done your system.zip with Classic Workbench instruction page, just go in winuae / had hard file (your hdf in your sd card) and start.

ENABLE pc drive to be able to copy the system.zip created.

You'll normaly see your workbench , so now put the system. zip in your system hdd .

Then reboot with the adf of classic workbench (real amiga install disk) and all will be done !!

Hope that will help you!!
