New to the Amiga Emu scene, need help!

01 November 2006, 00:56

Im new to amiga emulators, however i have used other ones in the past (not as complicated as winaue)

Anyway ive downloaded WINAUE and a rom

(Fantastic Dizzy (1993)(Codemasters)(M6)[cr FLT][a](Disk 1 of 2).adf)

I dont know if that helps but basically im wondering how i get this playing. ive tried a straight run with no configs and it gives an error.

Do i need some files or settings ?

Any help would be appreciated.

i dont think you know how new i am lol

i dont know what version of workbench i have, if i have it at all.

Do i need a specific version or something?

i need the simpliest guide going, im computer literate but ive NO experience with this kind of thing

Well I'm not the right person to guide you as I dont use WinUAE

But for playing Dizzy you could go for Kickstart 1.3. cant tell you where to get them, but try use google you might have some luck.
I think Pauls guide is nice and easy http://guide.abime.net/gguides.htm he gives a good guids for installing and configurate and after that and some adf (the games) you should be up and running.

Thanks for the info.

After looking at those guides and using kickstart ive managed to get dizzy working in less than 1 hour

Reason being im doing a games development course at uni and im looking to make a game, dizzy was something i always found fun and challenging, i just wanted to see if it stands up still.

After playing it for 30 mins and still fidning it hard as hell, i think it does

thanks for the help.

Another one who had fun with Dizzy.

This one is checking also if Dizzy is still (standing) up!

Welcome to the board!

Watch out for a guy called Fred, as Dizzy is HIS biatch....

You cant beat the classics

The amiga games were the most fun i had, new games are great but they lack the gameplay that the amiga generation had.

Hopefully i can find some other games i remember.
