Help Emulation FAQ
How do I run Amiga games on my PC?
Amiga emulation has always been known as difficult with a lot of messing with configurations, but that's history now. With the latest version of WinUAE emulating an Amiga is easy.

1. Download and install the latest version of WinUAE.

2. Get your hands on Amiga Kickstart ROMs, which are required by all Amigas in order to boot. Lemon Amiga can't provide you with these ROMs since they're copyrighted.

Three ways to get Amiga Kickstart ROMs:
  • Purchase Cloanto's Amiga Forever package which comes with licensed ROMs
  • Use the Transrom utility which comes with WinUAE to get the ROMs from your real Amiga
  • Make a Google-search

  • 3. Create a sub directory inside the WinUAE directory, preferably named 'Roms', and put your ROM files in there.

    4. Launch up WinUAE and click the 'Paths' tab. Make sure that the ROM path points to the directory where you put your ROMs. You may need to click 'Rescan ROMs' here if it didn't point to your Roms directory in the first place.

    5. Click the 'Quickstart' tab, select an Amiga model, insert a disk image and click start!

    Where can I download Amiga games?
    The Games: Downloads category in our Links section many sites with commercial games for download. If you're looking for a certain game, you may request it in our forum.

    What is an ADF file?
    It stands for Amiga Disk File and it's a raw copy if an Amiga disk. ADF is a standard file format used by Amiga emulators such as WinUAE.

    Is there any way to speed up floppy disk loading times in WinUAE?
    Yes. Under the 'Disk Drives' tab you have 'Floppy drive emulation speed', which can be set from 100% to 800% or Turbo mode. This works with a lot of games, but not all. Alternatively, you can hold down End and press Pause/Break to put WinUAE into Turbo mode.

    Another nice feature is creating a 'Save State' (see the 'Misc' tab in WinUAE) as soon as the game has loaded. Then the next time you want to play, you can skip the loading and jump straight back in at that point.

    Can I access Internet with WinUAE?
    Yep, but you must set up a hard drive in WinUAE before getting started. Once this is done, just enable "BSDsocket.library emulation" in Host -> Misc. Then install your favourite internet applications and they will use your Windows internet connection.
