These games here are for Dos & Windows-

This site,
nor any of the crew of it have nothing to do with amiga emulation,
and therefore, not many here will be able to help you with your problem,
especially if it conserns any un-abandoned amiga roms /-

ok ok
so if i want to play megalomania which i downloaded from this site using dos /windows could you help then?

Actually, alot of us have at least fiddled around with emulators. This includes WinUAE and WinFellow. There are people here who can help, but can't direct to roms (as it's illegal, but you've probably heard that a hundred of times by now >_> )

The site itself is meant for old Dos-games and the occasional old Win-game, which, indeed, explains why they run without WinUAE. It doesn't mean it's the only thing people here know

As for myself, I've played around with getting some games to run on WinUAE and WinFellow, but far from enough to help you out. Sorry =/

To Rob's reply... Yep

I actually meant that,
I guess I only stumbled to my discreetly speaken words /-

didnt know it was dogy getting winuae?
put that aside, i just want to play megalomania that i got from this site thats not iligal is it??
can somebody help?

Basically it is illegal,
It is merely justified ethically...
Since it is to preserve games,
that are no longer sold nor supported & cannot be officially bought from anywhere /-

The games provided by this site are no longer sold & are no longer supported,
and thus they have become ethically abandonware
But the law, eventhough it lets it usually slip through its fingers since it harms none, does not regonise abandonware officially /-

For the games you need

a) to download DosBox

B) To read Newbie Guide

(Why the hell is b with a ) a smilie?

thanx alot ppl got it download i just need to sit down and understans dosbox b4 i jump in feet first.....just haveing some teething probs
again cheers

Stay still for a moment...

Unzip the contents of the zip to C:\Megal
Check the name of the .exe file? (The file that starts the game)

Start dosbox

Write;
----------------
mount c: c:\ [Press ENTER]
c: [Press Enter]
cd Megal [Press Enter]
------------------

Now write the name of the .exe file,
the .exe isn´t necessary /-

Inform (anyone) if I left out something /-

understanding dosbox is a good idea, but to make it easier, get d-fend frontend.
