 1.1 WHAT IS THIS DOCUMENT ABOUT?                                               
 --------------------------------                                               
                                                                                
 This is the FAQ for the alt.emulators.amiga newsgroup. alt.emulators.amiga     
 is a newsgroup for discussion about software that emulates the Amiga            
 computer on any platform. The FAQ attempts to answer most common questions     
 appearing in the newsgroup. The most common of these is how to get a copy       
 of the Amiga operating system or how to transfer the OS and other software     
 from an Amiga to another platform, so this is what we'll focus on.              
                                                                                
 You will be able to access and download an HTML version of this FAQ as

 1.2 WHAT IS THIS DOCUMENT NOT ABOUT?                                           
 ------------------------------------                                           
                                                                                
 This FAQ is not intended to give you a detailed description of the Amiga.      
 We refer you elsewhere for more detailed information on the machine, it's      
 history, OS, etc. It is also not intended to replace the documentation for     
 the software described. You must take the time to read the documentation        
 provided with the software carefully. As with anything new and, in             
 particular, a new computer or OS the initial learning curve is fairly          
 steep. Give it a little time, though, and you'll find the emulators and        
 Workbench intuitive and easy to use. Give it a little longer and you might     
 even find that Workbench makes some of the other offerings out there look       
 somewhat inadequate. :-)

 2. BACKGROUND.                                                                 
 --------------                                                                 
                                                                                
 It seems that most people who want to emulate an Amiga have used one in        
 the past and either owned one previously or still do. Generally speaking,      
 therefore, intending users already have a reasonable knowledge of how to       
 use an Amiga but want to know how to get the emulation set up and running      
 so they can use their existing Amiga software on another platform,             
 commonly a PC. If that's you, you can skip this section.                       
                                                                                
 2.0 WHAT IS AN EMULATOR?                                                       
 ------------------------                                                       
                                                                                
 An emulator is a piece of hardware or software which performs the              
 functions of an alien system's hardware. In this case, the functions of        
 the Amiga hardware are emulated in software which then runs on another         
 machine, for which it is written.                                              
                                                                                
 2.1 WHAT IS AN AMIGA?

 The Amiga computer is a desktop machine which first appeared in the            
 eighties, produced by Commodore Business Machines. It was, and still is,       
 noted for it's multi-tasking and graphics abilities. Due to mismanagement      
 by Commodore, Amiga production stopped for about three years in the early      
 nineties. The Amiga was continued by Amiga Technologies and is now owned       
 by Gateway2000, in the guise of Amiga International. The persistence and       
 enthusiasm of users for "their" machine kept the Amiga alive during the        
 period of non-production and it is now enjoying renewed vigour in the          
 shape of new development by Gateway and a move to a new base processor         
 bringing performance up to modern expectations. For more information try

 3.0 WHAT EMULATORS ARE AVAILABLE?                                              
 ---------------------------------                                              
                                                                                
 There are two emulators available, UAE and Fellow. UAE is available for        
 MSDOS and Windows on PC, a range of UNIX and X11, Macintosh, Acorn, BeBox,     
 NextStep and for Amiga. Fellow is available for MSDOS.                          
                                                                                
 "Did I hear correctly?" I hear you say. "An Amiga emulator which runs on       
 an Amiga?" Yes, that's right. UAE doesn't emulate the latest machine           
 specs, in fact, so it's useful to be able to emulate a lower spec machine      
 on a later model. It allows you to run older software which doesn't            
 support the newer, higher specifications, typically graphics.

 --------------------------                                                     
                                                                                
 The great thing about both of these emulators is that they are provided        
 absolutely free of charge to the Amiga user community.                         
                                                                                
                                                                                
 3.3 WHICH IS THE BETTER EMULATOR?                                              
 ---------------------------------                                              
                                                                                
 Good question. That's up to you. Fellow claims to have a speed advantage       
 over UAE as it was written specifically for DOS with some speed-critical       
 code written in assembly language, although it currently has fewer             
 features. The Windows version of UAE has a built-in GUI for setting your       
 preferences whereas the DOS versions will require you to do your               
 configuration manually via command line switches and a text file. I            
 suggest that you try both programmes and see which suits your needs            
 better. If you're using a PC you might like to compare the DOS and Windows     
 versions, too.                                                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
 3.4 IS THERE ANYTHING THESE EMULATORS CAN'T DO?                                
 -----------------------------------------------                                
                                                                                
 Yes. Neither UAE nor Fellow emulate the AGA chipset. AGA, Advanced             
 Graphics Architecture, is the 32-bit graphics standard used on the A1200       
 and A4000. This means that any software requiring AGA won't run under the      
 emulator. So, some modern Amiga software, especially games, won't work         
 under emulation. Check the programme's documentation for requirements.         
 Happily, while many programmes take advantage of AGA if it exists, they        
 will often run in a lower graphics mode, too. The older graphics chip sets     
 are known as ECS (Enhanced Chip Set) and OCS (Original Chip Set). AGA           
 can't currently be emulated because it requires the Amiga's custom chip        
 set, which doesn't exist in the emulating machine.                             
                                                                                
 There is talk that AGA support is currently being developed for UAE, and       
 that the chip set limitation can be overcome. Here's hoping.                   
                                                                                
 UPDATE: WinUAE 0.8.8 Release 1 contains experimental, user-selectable AGA      
 support!                                                                       
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4. GETTING STARTED.                                                            
 -------------------                                                            
                                                                                
 4.0 HOW DO I GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD?                                        
 ---------------------------------------                                        
                                                                                
 Now, here's the thing. To use UAE or Fellow you need to have copy of the       
 Amiga's OS, called Workbench. There are two options for getting Workbench.     
 Either you own an Amiga and copy the parts of the OS to the emulating           
 machine or you can buy the OS separately on CD. If you don't currently own     
 an Amiga, you can buy one from which to copy Workbench. That's not as bad       
 as it sounds since second-hand Amigas are available very cheaply these         
 days and you get the Amiga to play with as well.                               
                                                                                
 **DO NOT ASK US TO COPY WORKBENCH FOR YOU** We won't!                          
                                                                                
 Yes, you might be able to find pirated copies of the OS on the net but         
 don't ask us to help you find those, either. Our intention is to support       
 and perpetuate the Amiga, not contribute to it's downfall.                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.1 I DON'T OWN AN AMIGA, WHERE CAN I BUY ONE?

 I suggest that you start buy checking the trading post-type papers in your     
 area. On the net, you can try the following newsgroups:                         
                                                                                
 comp.sys.amiga.marketplace                                                     
 comp.sys.amiga.marketpl                                                        
                                                                                
 There are also web trading pages around the place. A quick search should       
 find some.                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.2 I DON"T OWN AN AMIGA, WHERE CAN I BUY THE CD?                              
 -------------------------------------------------                              
                                                                                
 The CD mentioned earlier is known as Amiga Forever and is provided by          
 Cloanto. Visit their website at:                                               
                                                                                
 http://cloanto.com/amiga/forever/                                              
                                                                                
 and follow their instructions to install the OS. Amiga Forever contains        
 all versions of Workbench from 1.0 to 3.0, which should provide you with       
 good compatibility with any software that you choose to run. The CD also       
 includes UAE, Fellow, Cloanto's file transfer programme Amiga Explorer,        
 Picasso96 (mentioned later) and a swag of other stuff.                         
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.3 I OWN AN AMIGA! HOW DO I TRANSFER THE AMIGA OS TO MY OTHER MACHINE?        
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------        
                                                                                
 The Amiga stores part of the OS in a ROM and the rest on hard disk. You        
 need to transfer both of these parts to the emulator in order to run           
 software that uses the OS. The component held in ROM is known as               
 Kickstart. The rest of the OS is provided on floppy disks with the Amiga,      
 or perhaps already installed on a HD if you bought a second-hand one.          
                                                                                
 Both UAE and Fellow provide the same utilities to copy the OS from an          
 Amiga to floppy disks. The programmes provided are transdisk and transrom.     
 You should read the documentation provided with your emulator on how to         
 use these programmes. Read the section entitled "Tools / Transferring          
 files" in the UAE docs or section 3 "BEFORE YOU WILL BEGIN - ESSENTIAL         
 REQUIREMENTS" in fellow.txt.                                                   
                                                                                
 Creating the required files on the Amiga, ready for transfer, is not           
 difficult. Both are shell programmes so you'll need to run them from the       
 CLI. Transrom copies the contents of your kickstart ROM to a file, which       
 you can then take to the emulator. Transdisk copies the contents of a disk     
 in your floppy drive to a file, allowing you to copy software to your           
 emulator.                                                                      
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.3.1 COMMAND SYNTAX                                                           
 --------------------                                                           
                                                                                
 Both use the '>' command to redirect their output to a file rather than        
 the screen. The transdisk command line                                         
                                                                                
 transdisk >ram:df0.adf                                                         
                                                                                
 instructs the computer to run the transdisk programme and send the output      
 to a file called "ram:df0.adf". The "ram:" component denotes the address       
 of the file as the device called "ram" i.e. your ram disk. The ".adf"          
 component is the standard suffix given to these files meaning "amiga disk      
 file". The "df0" is the name of the file, so called because it reads from      
 your floppy disk, whose device name is DF0:. So, the command line means        
 "run the transdisk programme, which reads the floppy disk in DF0:, and         
 send the contents of the floppy disk to a file called df0.adf in RAM:".        
 You then save df0:adf somewhere as it is not saved to disk in this case,       
 it is simply living in memory, so if you turn off the machine it's gone.       
                                                                                
 You can change the destination file by substituting the desired path and       
 name for "ram:dfo.adf". E.g. "transdisk > DH0:MyDir\MyFile.adf" sends the      
 data to a file called "MyFile.adf" in the directory called "MyDir" on          
 DH0:, your first harddisk. "transdisk >df1:MyFile.adf" sends the file to       
 your second floppy drive.                                                      
                                                                                
 Spaces either side of the ">" are optional.                                    
                                                                                
 transdisk >ram:df0.adf                                                         
 transdisk > ram:df0.adf                                                        
 transdisk>ram:df0.adf                                                          
                                                                                
 all produce the same result.                                                   
                                                                                
 If you forget to redirect the output, both programmes will send their          
 output to the standard output device, your monitor. You will see               
 screensful of unreadable characters scroll by as the binary data is sent       
 to your screen. This is unhelpful and takes a while to finish so you can       
 abort the process by pressing the CTRL-C keys on your keyboard, That's the     
 "ctrl" and "c" keys together. This is the standard shell process user           
 abort key sequence. There is no help message displayed as with other shell     
 programmes. No harm is done, just retry with the redirection.                   
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.3.2 HOW DO I GET THESE PROGRAMMES TO THE AMIGA IN THE FIRST PLACE?           
 --------------------------------------------------------------------           
                                                                                
 This is where things start to come undone. You can either transfer them        
 from the emulation platform somehow or download them separately from           
 somewhere else, directly to your Amiga.                                        
                                                                                
 If you intend to transfer them from another platform, read on.                 
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.3.3 HOW DO I TRANSFER FILES BETWEEN MY AMIGA AND ANOTHER PLATFORM?           
 --------------------------------------------------------------------           
                                                                                
 And now things can get decidedly sticky. The answer depends on the             
 platform and the facilities you have available. There are a range of           
 options:                                                                       
                                                                                
 - Use hardware on the non-Amiga platform that will read Amiga disks. - Use     
 a disk format that both platforms can handle.                                   
 - Use a network.                                                               
 - Use a serial transfer method.                                                
 - Use a parallel transfer method                                               
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.3.3.1 USING HARDWARE TO READ AMIGA DISKS.                                    
 -------------------------------------------                                    
                                                                                
 This is not possible on most platforms due to the fact that Amiga floppy       
 drives contain custom hardware. This means that the drive can not be           
 emulated in software. If you are prepared to get your hands dirty, there       
 are instructions for building your own interface to an Amiga floppy drive

 This is a do-it-yourself project complete with circuit diagrams and            
 picture of the finished project. Download from the "Amiga Floppy Reader"       
 link. If you try this approach, let me know how it went so I can include       
 the details here.                                                              
                                                                                
 Another approach, the ami floppy reader hack, is available at:

 There is a file system for Linux that allows you to read Amiga hard drives     
 directly. For more information on this check your Linux distribution.           
                                                                                
 You can buy the catweasel device controller for Amiga and PC. On a PC, it      
 will allow you to connect an Amiga floppy disk drive and use it directly.      
 Software for Windows, MSDOS and Linux is included.                             
                                                                                
 http://members.tripod.com/~apd2/catweasl.htm                                   
                                                                                
 There is also an Amiga-on-a-card, called Inside Out, available for PC's        
 that, I believe, allows you to interface an Amiga floppy drive but if you      
 have that you don't need an emulator, do you?                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.3.3.2 USING A DISK FORMAT THAT BOTH MACHINES CAN HANDLE.                     
 ----------------------------------------------------------                     
                                                                                
 This is the most common means available for users to transfer the required     
 files between machines. You may be able to use the destination disk format      
 directly on your Amiga. For example, there are a number of programmes           
 available that will allow an Amiga to read and write PC disks. Then you        
 only need to take the disk to the destination machine and use it normally.     
 It is also possible to read and write Mac disks on an Amiga, using one of       
 these programmes.                                                              
                                                                                
 Alternatively, you might be able to use a third format as a stepping           
 stone. If you have a programme that allows your Amiga to read some             
 superduper file system and your destination machine has software that          
 allows it read superduper file system, you're in business.                     
                                                                                
 4.3.3.3 USING A NETWORK.                                                       
 ------------------------                                                       
                                                                                
 There are a number of network solutions to this problem. Software is           
 available to connect an Amiga and a PC, via their serial ports, as a           
 network. The Siamese system allows both Amiga and PC to open the other's       
 screens, via an Ethernet or serial connection. These sorts of products         
 probably aren't the sort of thing you're considering if you're going to        
 emulate an Amiga.                                                              
                                                                                
 A simple solution, if you have both machines connected to the internet, is     
 to send the files to yourself as mail, receiving them on the destination        
 machine. This is cumbersome for large file transfers but if it's all you       
 have you might leave the transfers to complete overnight. You may,             
 similarly, be able to ftp files between machines or store them somewhere       
 for later download.                                                            
                                                                                
 You can find some Amiga to NT4 networking instructions here:                   
                                                                                
 http://home6.inet.tele.dk/pahrmann/                                            
                                                                                
 They should work for Win95 as well. Please let me know if you have success     
 with this or otherwise.                                                         
                                                                                
 If you have your machines networked, simply send the files across.             
                                                                                
                                                                                
 4.3.3.4 USING A SERIAL TRANSFER METHOD.                                        
 ---------------------------------------                                        
                                                                                
 It is possible to connect two machines via their serial ports using a          
 null-modem cable. You can then run a terminal programme on each machine        
 and send files directly. For details on these methods see Ami-PC_FAQ.txt

 4.3.3.5 USING A PARALLEL TRANSFER METHOD.

 It is also possible to connect two machines via their parallel ports using     
 a laplink cable. You can then run a file manager to access files on the PC      
 directly from the Amiga. For details on these methods see Ami-PC_FAQ.txt

 A. Rather than reproduce a wealth of specific information here, refer to       
 the Ami-PC_FAQ   mentioned in 4.3.3.4 & 5 above. It covers in detail many      
 of the requirements for different   transfer methods, software and             
 hardware, including links. You can get the Ami-PC_FAQ as   Ami-PC_FAQ.txt

 Q. How do I copy the Kickstart ROM to my XYZ machine?                          
                                                                                
 A. Use transrom as described above and in the UAE or Fellow documentation.     
 Save the resulting   rom file and copy it your emulation machine using one      
 of the methods discussed.                                                       
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. How do I copy the Amiga Workbench to my XYZ machine?                        
                                                                                
 A. If you have the original distribution disks, which you should if you        
 own an Amiga, use   transdisk to copy each of the disks to your HD in          
 turn, naming them uniquely. Then use a   transfer method to send the files     
 to your destination machine.                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. What if I don't have a copy of Kickstart, can I do anything?                
                                                                                
 A. Yes, you can. Some programmes that are provided in non-standard disk        
 formats will boot   without Kickstart. A common type of programme that         
 will do this is the "demo", a graphical   and musical demonstration for        
 which the Amiga is famous. You will just have to try your luck   with          
 other non-standard offerings. Not all demos will boot this way. The            
 biggest source of   demos is:                                                  
                                                                                
   http://us.aminet.net/aminet/dirs/tree_demo.html                              
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. The files produced by transdisk won't fit on a 720K floppy. What's          
 going on?                                                                      
                                                                                
 A. If that's the case, compress them using a programme for which you have      
 copies for both   machines, e.g. Zip or LhA, then copy the compressed          
 version to your floppy disk, transfer   it and decompress it on the            
 destination machine. Once your emulation is up and running, you   can          
 decompress the files under emulation using the same Amiga programme you        
 compressed them   with. Better still, some versions of UAE support gzipped     
 .adf files, so you can compress   the .adf on your Amiga with GZip and          
 leave it compressed on the emulation machine. UAE will   decompress it on      
 the fly as long (NOTE CAREFULLY) as you have a copy of GZip in the command     
   path of your emulation machine.                                               
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. What if I don't have the original disks?                                    
                                                                                
 A. Transdisk only operates on floppies so you could copy the parts of the      
 OS progressively   to a floppy and use transdisk to save them to HD as         
 .adf's, then transfer as before.                                               
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. What is GZip?                                                               
                                                                                
 A. GZip is the Free Software Foundation's zip compression implementation.      
 It is freely   distributable and versions are available for most               
orms.                                                                           
                                                                           platf

   Most implementations of a Unix or Unix-ish OS will include gzip as           
 standard.   Unix-ish shell replacements for the PC and other platforms         
 will include gzip, as well.                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Why can't I use high density floppies on my Amiga?                          
                                                                                
 A. The standard Amiga floppy drive has 880K capacity. A high density PC        
 floppy holds 1.44MB,   which the Amiga can't deal with. A low density PC       
 floppy, however, holds 720K which the   Amiga can cope with so utilities       
 such as CrossDOS will write 720K on a disk as standard.   If you have a        
 high density FD attached to our Amiga then you can use the HD floppies and     
   CrossDOS etc will write 1.44MB.                                               
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. I don't have any low density floppies, what can I do?                       
                                                                                
 A. Don't panic. Put a small piece of tape over the left window in your HD      
 floppy, the one   without the read/write tab, and the Amiga will recognize     
 it as a low density disk. It's   not ideal but it works.                        
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Can I use my Amiga hard disk from UAE on another machine?                   
                                                                                
 A. There is a filesystem available for Linux that will read Amiga HD's.        
 See Ami-PC_FAQ for   more info. There is no known support for other OS's.      
 If you have Linux running on your   emulation machine alongside another        
 OS, you may be able to read the HD in Linux and then   make the files          
 available to the other OS on the same machine.   There are plans to            
 implement Amiga HD support in UAE to allow it to access Amiga formatted        
 HD's directly.                                                                 
                                                                                
 Q. Where can I get Amiga software on the net?                                  
                                                                                
 A. The definitive web site for Amiga software is Aminet:

   but there are many others. A simple web search will return enough hits       
 to keep you busy   for weeks.                                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. When I run WinUAE the prefs window disappears off both sides of the         
 screen.                                                                        
                                                                                
 A. You need to get an updated version of comctl32.dll, the dynamic link        
 library that   contains many of Windows' GUI components. You can get it        
 from Microsoft at:                                                             
                                                                                
   http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/Com32upd.exe          
                                                                                
   The installation will place the file in the right place but if you're        
 doing it manually,   it goes in your Windows/System directory.                 
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. How do I create a blank .adf in UAE or Fellow?                              
                                                                                
 A. The programme MakeADF, provided with Fellow, will create a blank .adf.      
 In WinUAE, hit F12,   select the "Floppies" tab then "Create blank             
 "Floppy"".                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. How do I create a hardfile?                                                 
                                                                                
 A. MakeDisk, provided in the UAE Utils directory, will create a blank          
 hardfile for you. Fellow   handles hardfiles from it's configuration           
 screen.                                                                        
   In WinUAE 0.8.8 Release 1 or later (and possibly earlier), go to the         
 "Hard Drives" tab of   the prefs dialogue and select "Add Hardfile...".        
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. How do I get files back out of an .adf file?                                
                                                                                
 A. The ReadDisk utility, provided in the UAE/Utils directory, will unpack      
 an .adf into a   directory. ReadDisk may not be available for all              
 platforms. Please advise if it is not   provided with the implementation       
 of UAE you are using.                                                          
                                                                                
   Adf2disk is an Amiga utility that will unpack .adf's to floppy disk as       
 well. Get adf2disk   at:                                                       
                                                                                
   http://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/disk/misc/adf2disk11.lha                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. How do I transfer .adf's from my emulator back to my Amiga?                 
                                                                                
 A. Compress the .adf with a compressor that you can use on the Amiga. You      
 can do this from   within the emulator if you like so that you can use an      
 Amiga compressor directly. Transfer   the file to your Amiga using the         
 reverse of the method you use to transfer files from the   Amiga to the        
 emulation platform e.g. CrossDOS. Now, working on the Amiga, decompress        
 the   .adf to RAM: or somewhere suitable. Use adf2disk to unpack the .adf      
 to a floppy. Copy the   unpacked files wherever you wish.                      
                                                                                
   AmigaTRANS, mentioned below, will reportedly transfer files from a PC to     
 the Amiga, as well.                                                             
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. How do I preserve my long file names when using CrossDOS?                   
                                                                                
 A. CrossDOS' drivers only support the 8.3 filename format so, when you         
 copy your files from   Win95 to the Amiga, or vice versa, longer filenames     
 will be truncated to 8.3 by adding   ~1, ~2 etc to the first six                
 characters of your original filename and preserving the suffix,   or           
 truncating it to the first 3 characters. The last number differentiates        
 between names   that have the identical first six characters. You can          
 avoid this by archiving the files,   with their long names, with Winzip,       
 LhA or some other suitable programme before transferring   via CrossDOS.       
 When you unarchive the files the long names will have been preserved. Note     
 that   the DOS version of LhA will still truncate filenames to 8.3. A           
 version of LhA that supports   long filenames is available at:                 
                                                                                
   http://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/util/arc/lhant.lha                           
                                                                                
   For some reason this version doesn't work with Winzip but it works           
 perfectly well   otherwise. Many other Windows compression programmes also     
 support LhA, either internally or   by making use of the DOS version.           
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Hasn't someone written software that handles .adf's?                        
                                                                                
 A. Yup, several. Try these:

 Q. What is this file with the .rom suffix?                                     
                                                                                
 A. This is a copy of Kickstart saved as a file, usually called                 
 kickstart.rom, by transrom.                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. What is this file with the .roz suffix?                                     
                                                                                
 A. This is a gzipped .rom image. Some implementations of UAE will read         
 these directly as long   as you have a copy of GZip in your path. You can      
 decompress it with GZip if you wish, if   you want to retrieve the file or     
 your emulator doesn't support GZipped .rom's. Please let   me know whether      
 your implementation of UAE supports GZipped .rom's.                             
                                                                                
 Q. What is this file with the .adz suffix?                                     
                                                                                
 A. This is a GZipped .adf as mentioned before. Some implementations of UAE     
 will read these   directly as long as you have a copy of GZip in your           
 path. You can decompress it with GZip   if you wish, if you want to            
 retrieve files or your emulator doesn't support GZipped .adf's.   Please       
 let me know whether your implementation of UAE supports GZipped .adf's.        
                                                                                
 Q. What is this file with the .dms suffix?                                     
                                                                                
 A. This is a floppy disk image compressed with DiskMasher, an Amiga disk       
 compressor. DMS, as   it's known, is not supported directly by Fellow,         
 that is it can't read an .adf compressed   with DMS. You can certainly use     
 DMS from within either emulator. Get it at:                                     
                                                                                
   http://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/util/arc/dms111.run                          
                                                                                
   A version which allows unpacking of DMS files under UNIX exists at:          
                                                                                
   http://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/misc/unix/undms-1.3.c.Z                      
                                                                                
   UAE will open disk images compressed with DMS if you have the programme      
 xDMS in the same   directory as UAE. In WinUAE it is not good enough just      
 to have xDMS in your command path,   it must be in the same directory.         
 Please advise findings with other versions. xDMS is a   programme which        
 will convert DMS files into .adf's. DOS, Linux and Amiga versions are          
 included in the distribution. Get xDMS from:

   Another programme is available to convert .dms files directly to .adf        
 format under MSDOS,   called dms2adf:

 Q. What is this file with the .lha suffix?                                     
                                                                                
 A. This is an archive compressed with LhA, an Amiga file compressor. LhA       
 is not supported   directly by UAE or Fellow, that is they can't read an       
 .adf compressed with LhA. You can    certainly use LhA from within either      
 emulator. Versions of LhA are available for most   platforms which means       
 that you can do any decompression on your destination machine if   you         
 wish. Get it at:

 A. This is an archive compressed with LZX, an Amiga file compressor. LZX       
 is not supported   directly by UAE or Fellow, that is they can't read an       
 .adf compressed with LZX. You can    certainly use LZX from within either      
 emulator. LZX is not currently available for any   other platform and          
 Amiga development has ceased. The full registered version has been             
 released to the general public and you can get it at:

 Q. Why can't I mount my PC's CD-ROM from WinUAE?                               
                                                                                
 A. When you enter the configuration in the GUI's Hard-Drives/Add dialogue      
 make sure that you   select "Directory" as the "Volume-Type", don't check      
 the Read/Write gadget under "Settings"   since you can't write to a            
 standard CD-ROM and don't enter a trailing backslash in the   "Mount           
 Directory" path. This is the most common problem associated with mounting      
 CD's. If   you use the browse button to find the path to your CD-ROM,          
 WinUAE will automatically insert   the trailing backslash. Delete it! I.e.     
 you want "D:" not "D:\". If the CD you're using is   not an Amiga disc and      
 therefore doesn't hold Amiga icons, you will have to select the                 
 "Window/Show/All Files" menu item in order to see the files.                   
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Why is the WinUAE Amiga screen only half normal screen height?              
                                                                                
 A. It's producing an Amiga screenmode which has a lower scan rate than a       
 PC monitor. Fix it by   entering the Properties Display/Gfx dialogue and       
 selecting the "Scan Double" checkbox.                                          
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. What is the "Key-File" box for in Properties Startup/Memory?                
                                                                                
 A. This is where you enter the path to the keyfile if you have an

 Q. What is Picasso96?                                                          
                                                                                
 A. Picasso96 is the software which retargets the standard Amiga graphic        
 display to a Picasso   or other add-on graphics card. WinUAE, and possibly     
 others (let me know) can emulate a   Picasso96 compatible card with up to       
 8MB of RAM, allowing the use of higher screen   resolutions courtesy of        
 Picasso96.                                                                     
   The Picasso96 software is distributed freely and available at:               
                                                                                
   http://wwwcip.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/~etk10317/Picasso96/Picasso96.html        
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. How do I install Picasso96?                                                 
                                                                                
 A. Read the documentation. Run the installation on your emulator and           
 follow the prompts. You   can then run the ScreenMode programme in the         
 Prefs drawer and select a uaegfx screenmode   from the list on the left.       
 These are the new enhanced modes. You can adjust the Picasso96   settings      
 using the Picasso96Mode programme, also in Prefs but it's better left          
 alone unless   you have a compelling reason to change something.               
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Why do I get an error message about Picasso96 failing at startup?           
                                                                                
 A. Another good question. It's believed to be a bug. Cancelling the            
 requester will still allow   the emulation to start using the Picasso96        
 screenmode.                                                                    
                                                                                
   If you're comfortable with fiddling with prefs, there is a temporary         
 fix. You need to go   into Picasso96Mode and change the DisplayIDBase          
 entry at the bottom left. The suggestion   is to change it to $5010, which     
 worked for me with the following conditions. Make sure that   you press         
 return and then save the new value. I suggest that you write down the          
 original   value so that you can change it back if necessary. You will be      
 prompted to reboot. After   the reboot I found that the emulation started      
 at a higher resolution than I had previously   set. If this happens, run       
 ScreenMode and change the selected mode to the one you want.   Notice that     
 there are now more entries in the ScreenMode listing on the left? Most are      
   duplicated. You can remove some of these by disabling the modes you are       
 not using in   Picasso96Mode. You can disable the unneeded screenmodes in      
 the "Resolutions" and "Modes"   list by double-clicking on them and saving     
 when finished. In my case the error at startup   didn't disappear until I       
 had removed some of these screenmodes. Hopefully the bug will be   fixed       
 in the next version of WinUAE but until then this works.                       
                                                                                
   The error here is apparently due to a problem with the Windows DirectX       
 drivers. There is   another known conflict with DirectX which causes video     
 problems. It is recommended in   the docs that sound be left disabled to        
 prevent this problem occurring.                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Why can't I see any icons when I open a window? I know the files are        
 there.                                                                         
                                                                                
 A. The Amiga's icon format is different to other platforms so Windows          
 icons, for example,   won't be displayed. Select the "Window/Show/All          
 Files" menu item to have the Amiga display   default icons for the files       
 on your disc.                                                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Is it OK to make copies of Amiga software?                                  
                                                                                
 A. This is a big question. If you own a copy of the software it is             
 acceptable to make a copy   for your own use, so you can copy it to an         
 .adf and use it in UAE. This includes Kickstart   and Workbench. Hence the     
 previous statement that you need to own an Amiga or a copy of the   OS to       
 use UAE legally. If you own a copy of some software you can copy it even       
 if your Amiga   no longer functions, it's the ownership that makes it          
 legal. If you don't own a copy of the   software then it is usually            
 illegal to posses a copy. Your own country or state laws apply   here,         
 check them if you need to. Check the specific copyright conditions for the     
 software   concerned as well, they may be limiting.                             
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. What if I download a copy of XYZ software?                                  
                                                                                
 A. If you own the software but, for example, can't transfer a copy             
 yourself between your Amiga   and the emulating platform, it is generally      
 thought to be legal to download a copy that   someone else has copied to       
 an .adf and use it. It is not generally legal to download a copy   of          
 software that you don't own. It is not my intention to examine the moral       
 issues here.   Again, check your local laws if required.                       
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. Can I make .adf's available for download?                                   
                                                                                
 A. Very big question! If you wrote the contents, absolutely. If the            
 material you want to make   available is written by someone else and           
 distributed freely, then quite possibly. Some   authors do place               
 limitations on how you can distribute their work. The best solution            
 would be to contact the author and ask their permission. If the .adf           
 contains commercially   available material then take care. There is much       
 debate on this topic and I don't claim to   have an answer. Many companies     
 go to great lengths to stop this sort of thing. Most sites   that have          
 .adf's available for download include a disclaimer in an attempt to            
 transfer   any responsibility for use of software the user doesn't own to      
 the user. A disclaimer may   have no basis in law. If you do it you may be     
 liable to prosecution. You may not.   International law may apply. I            
 suggest that you would need to be very clear about the legal                   
 implications in your specific case. Your life. Your choice.                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Q. What other software should I get?                                           
                                                                                
 A. Opinions vary. Here are some suggestions:
