Kickstart roms are not freely distributable due to copyright and to have them you have two chances: dump a real one from your real Amiga or buy Amiga Forever cd from Cloanto.

Since I wanted to create a base machine to boot Workbench and start WHDLoad games I decided to insert only a Kickstart rom and I chose the 3.1 (A1200 version) so to be able to install Workbench 3.1 or 3.9 but nothing prevent you to put inside Roms directory all the Rom files. A Rom is the core of Amiga as in a real one a Rom phisically has the necessary to start Workbench from floppy or hard disk. These are the most important to make a working Amiga machine and let s insert files inside the first one: Roms. As you can see in picture 2 there are several directories (or folders if you are more familiar with this word) and each one has a specific purpose: Floppies will be used to store your adf images, Roms for various kickstart roms, HardDisks for virtual Amiga hard disk partitions you want to create, HardFiles for raw images of real AmigaOS filesystem or disk, Conf for configuration files (there are many inside ready yet). 2Ĥ 2 Kickstart installation and uaerc file. 1 Not properly correct: uaerc file has to be created as you will read later. Now let s install all necessary files and modify e-uae configuration file to create a working Amiga machine. I would have liked to use the JIT version but since I wanted to launch WHDLoad games from Ambient E-UAE JIT doesn t work: selecting any game after emulator had run worked flawless while using igame launcher from Ambient doesn t. Picture above shows the normal E-UAE executable. I added an icon to the executable (I am using e.uae.g5) downloading from web only to have a clean directory and a clean launch (no report window will be opened) and that is: Picture 2 I have choosen specific E-UAE G5 executable since I m running MorphOS on a PowerMacG5. You can obviously install E-UAE directory where you like and name it as you prefer indipendently form installing Chrysalis pack or not but remember to use the right paths and names to configure emulator later or it won t work at all. Since Yannick Buchy, aka Papiosaur, webmaster of WarmUp-Asso created the great Chrysalis pack (that allows novice users to install a complete working suite in Ambient), I used almost the same directory names he used for his pack, System:Emulation/UAE, to semplify things. Now you have the directory base in which you have to insert all the necessary files 1 to make emulator work without problems.

3 Download E-UAE_ WIP4.lha and extract the archive in Ram and copy it wherever you want or extract directly on your hard disk.
