Yep, you need WinUAE and Legal ROM images to run it.

I'd suggest Amiga Forever...a damn good package. They have taken WinUAE (and others) and made it into an easy to use, easy to install emulator.

Amiga (The Company) had a big purge of illegal Roms. It'd be very hard to find one.


But the package I recommened - it's excellent

Ahh the classic Amiga. I tried this emulator out a while back and it took ages of searching the web to find the kickstart rom. I did get it in the end though and may still have it somewhere. If i find it i will send it on.

Check out the latest issue of retro gamer, they have amiga forever on the cover cd and may have everything you need to play the games. Worth £6 for the mag, I bought amiga forever from the people who license it (Cloanto) and it cost me £40!
