For AmigaInABox to work, you'll need...(cue the Supermarket Sweep "memory game" music) |
A fairly recent version of UAE. The most recent; WinUAE 2.4.1, is the one currently used. It features a full GUI, bsdsocket.library emulation, (allowing WinUAE to access the net, by simply using your PCs current internet connection), and
even AGA support! So, download WinUAE 2.4.1 first,
then check-out the WinUAE homepage.

A Kickstart 3.0/3.1 ROM. There appears to be much controversy surrouding these essential 512k files; Many "real" Amiga owners
dislike the idea of thier Amiga's OS being emulated, and therefore hold a pretty dim view of those who request or "supply" Kickstart Roms.
I will therefore not keep a kickstart ROM file on this site, nor link to one. Why not try Amiga Forever
from Cloanto, its the cheapest, and easiest way of emulating an Amiga - legally. A Workbench 3.0/3.1 ADF disk image is now also required.

A fast-ish PC. When using WinUAE, its easy to forget that its actually a port, and not a native, x86 emulator.
UAE is essentially coded in C, to allow almost any OS to run one of the many ports. Ironically, its even possible to run UAE on a native
Amiga! (the words "object" and "defeats the" immeditately spring to mind...) Anyway, my humble Duron 600 will run WinUAE pretty nicely
when emulating most games, and applications. Lucky 1ghz+ owners claim a combination of WinUAE & AIAB to be "better than Windows", although
I couldnt possibly comment on whether or not this is true.....;))
