What is needed to operate the eUAE launcher?

The eUAE Launcher needs a AMIGA ROM file and a ADF file.

AMIGA ROM File

Since the Amiga ROM files are not freely available files, you have to read them out from your Amiga by yourself or obtained from a source containing these. One possible source is, for example, AMIGA Forever by Cloanto or from one of the AMIGA classixs Cds by Magnussoft.

ot all Amiga classix Cds include a freely accessible AMIGA ROM file. For this tutorial we use the AMIGA classix 5.

ADF File

A ADF file (AMIGA Disk File) is a AMIGA floppy-disk in file form. The Internet offers numerous websites full of these files.

Please note that not all games available in the internet are freeware. Many of this files are only legal if you are the owner of a original AMIGA software.

Some manufacturers, such as Revolution Software offer on there website, some of the old Amiga games to download.
