Got Amiga Forever Plus

[Dark Mars Software]

I just bought Amiga Forever Plus. Now where do i find the roms i need to run PB in WinUAE? I'm quite confused about what to do next.

[PB]

I don't have it, but I understand they're on the CD somewhere. Should have
a *.rom extension.

[ts-soft]

After Installation in this: ...\Amiga Forever\Emulation\shared\rom\

[Dark Mars Software]

I extracted the roms and put them in my winuae root folder. I have downloaded purebasic 2.90 registered for amiga, but i can't seem to get it to work. It seems that it is compressed. I have tried using the lzx extractor but, it is not a regular program. Can someone please send me PureBASIC 2.90 for Amiga in Zip format? I can't extract it in its current state.

i guess its illegal

anyway i sugest to downlaod and istall aiab -> http://aiab.emuunlim.com/

this will startup you in a preconfigured preinstall AmigaOS system with GUI Tool to unlzx

otherwise if you have lzx (from aminet ?) from "Execute comamnd"
thats winkey+E "lzx -x purebasic290.lzx" will uncompress it

I can't cause its asking me for the workbench rom and that wasn't included with Amiga Forever Plus.

its not asking you for workbench ROM but workbench disk
entire workbench collection is included in amigaforever

anyway if you still have problems find me in IRC

On MS Windows, in order to extract files from a LZX archive, you can use this small 'unlzx' utility :
http://www.penguinbyte.com/apps/pbwebst ... /unlzx.zip

For listing files :

Code: Select all

unlzx -v PureBasic_Amiga_(abcdef).lzx

For extracting files :

Code: Select all

unlzx -x PureBasic_Amiga_(abcdef).lzx

It was originally developped for W95, but works well on XP.

I extracted PureBASIC for Amiga and copied it to my C:\WinUAE1200\Amiga Programs folder. It resides in C:\WinUAE1200\Amiga Programs\PureBASIC and PureBASIC.info resides in C:\WinUAE1200\Amiga Programs. When i start it up i get an image asking me to insert a disk. How do i start PureBASIC in WinUAE v1.2?

read the instructions in manual !!! (of amigaforever) on how to use a PRECONFIGURED AMIGAOS system

thats the kickstart (like BIOS) becasue you have not specified a OS disk to boot the emulator

[xperience2003]

-install new uae
-install amigasys or other preconfigured os

-install pure
-have fun

Hi!

Youo need a Running Workbench to use PB under AmigaOS this requires you to have a ( Hopefulyl LEGAL ! ) Kickstart Rom with your UAE.

To decompress ( Assuming you do not have AmigaOS 3.9 ) you can use lha.

Using:
lha -x myarchive.lha

in the Shell.

In case you do NOT have lha you can get it ( Along with tons of other Amiga Software ) at:

http://www.aminet.net

Hope this helps.
