Added a System But Now It Takes a Long Time to Boot Up..?
Added my A1200 CF as a HDF image,but now it take about 3 or 4 minutes to boot up.
Once its booted it all ok but just take a long time to boot,anyone know why..? What have have I done wrong..?? I don't want to use WinUAE cos I just bought this and want it to boot from a CD via Linux. Last edited by spannernick; 06 June 2016 at 20:41. |

Is the HDD set to be embedded in the Amiga Forever file? That can be super slow. It's better to have it point to an external file.
If you right-click the machine and choose Edit... then have a look at the properties of the HDD it should tell you. Hope this helps. |

...but the main component of Amiga Forever is WinUAE is it not?
Without WinUAE and Toni's hard work... I still don't understand why people would purchase / use Amiga Forever. Ok, if you want a front-end then use GameBase Amiga with WinUAE |

Or FS-UAE Launcher+Online database account. This is so much better than Amiga Forever.

Amiga Forever is for users who just want the emulator to work out of the box without setting everything up.
Of course not everyone needs this or seemingly understands this. Don't forget that without AmigaForever there is no legal way of using the kickstart roms. Whether you agree with this is or not is irrelivant, it's a fact. |

Maybe, personally i give a shit about legal roms. Workbenches is something different but Kickstart roms should be free, like the ST TOS roms. If i remember right Toni said years ago that Cloanto would give them away for free but couldn't do it legally. Now they own all the rights though.
FS-UAE and Game Base Amiga are pretty easy to setup. Then everything works out of the box too. |

Many people would wish a lot things to be free, but frankly, as bad as copyright terms are, you do not want to live in a world where rights are not respected because this also means that other people can make arbitrary decisions about _your_rights too. Like sell your work on eBay without your permission. If we want our rights to be respected then we should wish others rights to be respected too, even if they are horrible persons. Moreover, frankly, paying once and for all for AmigaForever is really a good bargain for infinite access to all ROMs and WBs. |
