Install:
First steps:
Install latest WinUAE. InstallAmigaSYS pack into WinUAE directory. (e.g.: C:WinUAE or C:Program FilesWinUAE,etc..).
Serial ilumina gold. If you have already installedthe emulator, then install AmigaSYS into that directory too. (Except AmigaForever Installed version, mentioned later).
If you finished installing,you'll need a KickStart 3.0/3.1 ROM file and you have to configure it inthe emulator: Start the emulator and load the AmigaSYS configuration (Load),go to the ROM page, set the main rom file to Kickstart 3.0/3.1. If youfinished, go back to the config menu and click on the Save button.
Note: If AmigaSYS configdo not appears, then another WinUAE is installed! (Amiga Forever or other)Solution: In the Paths menu, you'll find a crop down list menü, withthe followings:
- Amiga Forever 2005+
- WinUAE default new
- WinUAE default old
- etc.
If the error mentioned aboveis appears, then select WinUAE default old and click 'reset to defaults',the paths will be reseted and the AmigaSYS config will appear.
When every settings are inplace, then start the emulator, double-click on AmigaSYS config.
Installing AmigaSYS onOS 3.0, 3.1 or 3.9.
At first run, AmigaSYS willoffer a menu:
C= Workbench 3.0 = CommodoreWorkbench 3.0 installer, if you have the Commodore Workbench 3.0 disks(Extras too) and KickStart 3.0/3.1.
C= Workbench 3.1 = CommodoreWorkbench 3.1 installer, if you have the Commodore Workbench 3.1 disks(Extras too) and KickStart 3.1.
Note: Users of AmigaForever 2006, 2008 can use this installer, the Workbench 3.1 and Extras3.1 disks on Amiga Forever 2006 and 2008 CD are fully compatible with theoriginal Commodore disks.
Workbench AF 3.1 = AmigaForever Workbench 3.1 installer, you'll need Kickstart 3.1 and Workbench3.1 disk. It is made for the Amiga Forever 5, 6, 2005 users, because theseversions only contains the Workbench disk.
Note: This installeris compatible with the Commodore Workbench 3.1 disks, if you choose thefast install, then you can install with 1 disk, but the functions of theExtras disk, will not available in the installed system.
AmigaOS 3.9 = AmigaOS 3.9installer, Kickstart 3.1 and 3.9 CD or Amiga Forever Value/Online needed.
If you want to install anAmigaOS 3.9, then put in the CD and select this button.
You'll need Kickstart 3.1,the installer will recognize the CD and if it is OK, then the installerwill be automatically started.
Supported 3.9 CD-s:
Amiga Forever (5, 6, 2005,2006, 2008, you won't have to install on the Windows side!)
Amiga Forever Value/Online(mentioned below)
H&P AmigaOS 3.9 RED/PINK
AmigaOS XL/Amithlon CD
If you selected the correspondingbutton, then follow the orders and the install will be finished in seconds!
Note:
If you installing a 3.0/3.1system, but later you want a 3.9, then you have to do the following thingsin the installed 3.0/3.1 system: put in the CD, right mouse button (TOOLS/System/CD-DVD),start the proportional device, wich contains the CD, wait until the installerstarts automatically. Do not click on the 3.9 icon!
Tips:
- You can switch/removethe disks at the Floppy page, by the F12 button.
- If the CD recognizingdoes not succes, try in another drive (you do not have to restart the installing,just change the disc), and if nothing happens, then switch the UAESCSIoption from SPTI to other in the WinUAE Misc settings and try again. Ifstill do not working, then your CD is not original, or not supported.
- Every installer supports5 languages, English (EN), Deutsch (DE), Hungarian (HU), Polish (PL) andItalian (IT).
For Amiga Forever Value/Onlineusers:
You always have to installthe AFO version on the Windows side, this is an EXE file, the Workbenchdisks, KickStart files and AF system will be only available after install.
The AF uses a custom setting,you can use AmigaSYS with this too, but i suggest an easier method:
Install latest WinUAE. InstallAmigaSYS pack into WinUAE directory. (e.g.: C:WinUAE or C:Program FilesWinUAE,etc..).
Sp daten v49. If you finished installing,you'll need a KickStart 3.0/3.1 ROM file and you have to configure it inthe emulator: Start the emulator and load the AmigaSYS configuration (Load),so well, it will not appear, because the default is the Amiga Forever.
Solution: In the Paths menu,you'll find a crop down list menü, with the followings:
- Amiga Forever 2005+
- WinUAE default new
- WinUAE default old
- etc.
Select WinUAE default oldand click 'reset to defaults', the paths will be reseted and the AmigaSYSconfig will appear. Load the AmigaSYS configuration (Load), go to the ROMpage, set the main rom file to Kickstart 3.0/3.1. If you finished, go backto the config menu and click on the Save button.
Kickstart and Workbenchdisks default paths with default install:
Kickstart: C:Documentsand SettingsAll UsersDocumentsAmiga FilesSystemromamiga-os-310.rom
Workbench: C:Documentsand SettingsAll UsersDocumentsAmiga FilesSystemromamigaos-310-wb.adf
How can I install an AmigaOS 3.9 if i have an Amiga Forever Value/Online?
The ROM settings were mentionedat the begin of this doc. If you do not want to use a 3.1 System, thenyou have the opportunity to install AmigaSYS to a AmigaOS 3.9 with theValue/Online downloaded Amiga Forever version.
You have to do a few things:
- Install Amiga ForeverValue/Online at the Windows side.
- Follow the Amiga Foreverinstall orders.
- Set a path in the emulator.
Simplest if you go to theHard Dives page when you set the ROM.
You'll find two settingshere:
DH0: AmigaSYS
DH1: Work
You'll find a button: AddDirectory or Archive, press it and fill out:
Device name: AFO
Volume name: AFO
Press 'Select Directory'and set 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsAmiga FilesSystemdir'(in the case of default AFO install)
If everything done and allright, press OK, save the settings, start the emulator. Select the AmigaOS3.9 install, if you done everything OK, then the installer will start automaticallyand recognize the installed AFO path.
If install is finished andAmigaSYS loaded, then quit, remove the AFO path and save the new settings.
AmigaOS 3.9 installersays the KickStart is too old, what should I do?
You'll need KickStart 3.1(40.xx) to install AmigaOS 3.9, quit from the emulator, and change theKickStart from 3.0 to 3.1 (39.xx-40.xx) at the ROM page and save the newsettings.
I've changed the resolutionmanually, but the pattern is smaller/bigger, what should I do?
Do not use manual settings,AmigaSYS knows all between 800x600 - 1680x1050. You can select it wheninstalling, but if you want to change later, then use the right mouse buttonon the desktop, and select the AmigaSYS option in the TOOLs menu. You'llfind a lot of function, not just the resolution change.
Do not set a resolutionwich is not supported by your monitor!
Tip: You can set thecorrect refresh rate at the Display page. You can use it if the screenis bent or it is not centered, always try to set to these settings wichesare used in Windows, same resolution and refresh rate.
I want to set anotherlanguage, what should I do?
How I can update AmigaSYSlater?
Follow the orders above.
How I can use CD/DVD-ROM?
Click the right mouse buttonon the desktop and select TOOLS/System/CD-DVD.
You can select the correspondingdevice, if you do not know, wich device is that you want to start, usethe '???' option and the UASCSI.device.
How I can change the theme?
The theme changing is onlyactive in the 3.9 installed AmigaSYS. Use the right mouse button and theTOOLS/AmigaSYS option. AmigaOS 3.1 will not have the theme option. TheAmigaSYS 4 will contain 1 theme by default, wich will be expanded later.You can download them at the official webpage.
