Help with backing up/creating usable images
Complete newbie here, i remember tinkering with WinUAE a while ago but never really getting into it, but now i really wanna get the Amiga floppys i have backed up, preferably into a state in which i can use them with WinUAE or other emulators. I have boxes full of them, they belong to my aunt who would like to play some of them again, but currently we are without a working Amiga (used to have a 500, technically still do but i believe its completely dead).
So what i need is, an idiots guide basically, preferably one which doesn't involve getting an actual Amiga to do this, i've read stuff about doing it from a floppy drive hooked up to a normal PC, which i have access to. Of course if this isn't the way to go about it that's fine, its just preferable is all. Thanks for any help. |

Some games can be Imaged to PC via 'AdfRead' and 2 Internal floppy drives - LOL
Otherwise you need an Amiga + PC or Specialist Hardware for the PC like: SuperCard Pro, KryoFlux, Amiga Floppy Reader (AFR) or Catweasel. See this https://www.amigaforever.com/kb/13-118 for more info. |

What's on the Disks? If there not personal files images of the disks probably already exist.

Also consider geting the Amiga repaired. There are a few people dotted around the UK that could fix it for you. It could be something minor and cheap to fix.
