This offered my first challenge this was my first ever encounter with AmigaOS, so it took a bit of searching before I found the proper tool to do it. The resolution is set to 800×600 at 8bit by default, so the first thing I did was change it.

“In consideration of the ongoing litigation between different parties involved in the release of the product known as ‘Amiga OS 3.9’, Cloanto also considered it prudent to avoid altogether the use of the ‘Amiga OS 3.9’ label in the context of Amiga Forever. Throughout the entire product, Cloanto refers to their version of AmigaOS 3 as ‘3.x’, for the reasons described here (quite complicated). You can load AmigaOS 3.x, 1.3, the configuration utilities for the emulators (WinUAE and WinFellow), the games and the videos.Īfter clicking on the AmigaOS 3.x entry in the Launcher, WinUAE is launched with AmigaOS 3.x.

KX Light booted fine into AmigaOS 3.x, but I could not use it. However, I could not test this feature, because my USB mouse/keyboard did not work. The latter uses KX Light (a modified version of Debian/Knoppix) to boot the Linux version of UAE, running AmigaOS 3.x. You can boot into this emulator in two ways: you can launch it from Windows, or use it as a live CD.

Today, we are reviewing Amiga Forever, which was kindly provided by Cloanto, its manufacturer.
