Installing Amiga Games The Youre Not Stupid Guide
>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=tcy2RSvhaNw
Occasionally I find myself bewildered by what others do not know. Things that could benefit them to know they may not bother researching. In some instances falsities are spread and accepted by people without question simply because a popular YouTuber thinks it. • The You're Not Stupid Guide tackles the things I don't understand more people don't know about while giving you an off-the-cuff, humorous guide to understanding it yourself. In todays episode: Installing Games Onto An Amiga Hard Drive. • 5:14 - Basic Info About Getting A Hard Drive To Work • 11:30 - Method 1, Using An Included Install Program • 17:29 - Method 2, Manually Copying Disks With Program Icons • 25:32 - Method 3, Manually Copying Disks With No Icons • When looking at Amiga videos online there are common complaints about disk swapping. The Amiga is sometimes bashed for things that DOS never gets bashed about even though it suffered from the same things at times. People may use real DOS or DOSBox but they're always using a hard drive. There was a time when many DOS users did not have hard drives and loaded games on PC-Booter disks. Later games came on over 10 disks but installing was a demand. The Amiga never had this demand, but that doesn't mean games could not be installed (Having options is a good thing, not a thing to bash). All it takes is a little research and you'll find putting a hard drive onto a real Amiga or emulated Amiga is, like most things, easier than it is with DOS. • Not all Amiga games can be installed. Some contain their own boot sector that bypasses the operating system, usually to save memory. But many more games than what is commonly thought of can be installed and I believe it's worth taking a look at your games so you can make your gaming life a little bit easier. • The methods described here are for Amiga's with Kickstart 1.2 and above. If you have Kickstart 2.0 or above you also have the option of using WHDLoad. The resources required to make this useful on anything but the most powerful Amiga's make it feel unauthentic to me. So I'm showing the way to do it legitimately with the software that allows it on the real hardware. • This video features a fair bit of talking and a couple of tangents. It's all meant in good humor. I don't expect people to make it through the whole thing but I do hope I can shed a little bit of light on this topic and do it in an entertaining way. I don't plan on doing too many of these, just when things strike me right. Apologies for the noticeable scan lines going down the screen, I should have recorded the PAL segments in PAL mode on my camera. The NTSC segments came out much nicer in comparison.
