There might not be as many as there were in the A500's time, but there are some gems there all the same. When using this, you have the added advantages of being able to use things like WHDLoad patches to allow games to run from hard drive, graphics card drivers so your Workbench screen can take advantage of the PC's graphics card (most games will still use a native screenmode of course), and give you access to the later games in the Amiga's life that use AGA and graphics cards. In that arena, the basic setup is OS 3.1. OS 2 will break compatibility with some older games and doesn't offer any significant advantage over OS 3, so for the next level up you have A1200-level stuff. Using a newer OS than 1.3 can cause some older games to not work without being patched. Most of the older floppy games will run on this, so if you just intend to run the games from floppy images, this might be enough for you.
Your basic level of compatibility is an A500 with Kickstart 1.3. The OS you want really depends on your exact needs, and having multiple virtual hard drives and configs is a good idea, having just two will still limit what you can do. Okay, I can imagine this is a bit daunting alright, but with WinUAE you're easily able to set up multiple profiles for different configurations, so that's not a problem. Thank you to all in advance (i've just not been able to find a definitive web page/video on answering all this so I've turned to you all) feel free to offer links on guides/videos how to do this. What does anyone recommend and how to go about it. My requirements are an environment which is most compatible with all games and applications so i can get lost in nostalgia and the other is to be able to have the ultimate modern setup that employs as much of the UI/system modifications/improvements as possible (ie magic menu, dopus, modern usablity like large hard disks, lots of colours/32bit/64bit, etc, etc) I am contemplating two environments if this is possible (I guess from just creating two separate HDF files and two wine configs to point to one or the other?) To me it's confusing and I want to know your opinions on what version i should focus on creating an environment from.
I have seen that there has been versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1FE and now 3.1.4 released! I want to emulate via WinUAE (not got enough time to faff about with actual Amigas anymore). I'm just getting back into Amiga after decades away from it.
