If you’re going to play with Amiga, I’d recommend buying a legal copy, just to support the community, and it’s so cheap, it’s really worth it for the nostalgia alone.
I had a play with it last weekend, and it wasn’t very easy to setup, but after some faffing about and manually compiling the latest qemu, I was able to get it booting in a VM on my Linux desktop.
It’s nice to feel the nostalgia for the early machines, and then after 10 minutes of actually using it, feeling the gratitude for how much better my current desktop is, not just in compute power but usability too.
Oh I didn’t know, I was only looking for something packaged that could help me simulate the computing environment of my youth, and this is what came up when I googled it.
Could you point me to the best open source efforts please?
The AmigaOS CD ISO I purchased was very hard to get working, I am now curious if the alternatives are easier …
