Hello!
I have an Amiga emulator (I don’t remember the name). But every time I try
to start it, it keeps saying that I need a Kickstart thing. I’ve never have
a Amiga computer before so I don’t know what it is. Could somebody tell me
how do I use an Amiga emulator and where to find this kickstart?
Thanks to all!

The Kickstart is the ROM inside of the Amiga. Unless you own an Amiga,
you’re not supposed to have access to the ROM.

Try searching for it on the net… I may even have one around here
somewhere if you can’t find it.
As for this ‘not supposed to have access to the ROM’… who here doesn’t
have a ROM image or two that they don’t actually have hardware for?
Besides, everyone says that you can go get a REAL mac plus rom for $20 or
so at a swap meet or somesuch place, do you think Apple gets any of that
money? So how is d/l’ing a ROM from the net hurting Apple anymore than
me buying an old antiquated computer for it’s ROM so I can legally own
the ROM image file?
I have a few ROMs from systems I have actually owned in the past, but
have since sold or they have broken. And I own ROMs for systems I have
never even SEEN, nevermind used. (Amiga, TG-16, etc)…
Lets all get off this kick of ‘you can’t have a ROM cause you don’t own
the hardware’… Emulation is for reliving the past, and the hardware
isn’t readily availble or we’d all use it instead of the emulators!!!

BTW: Lets *not* start a flame war, this is only MY OPINION, it is
presented as such, and I do not necessarily think this is the only
way things should be, if anyone wants to rationaly discuss this then
please feel free… all flamers send messages to /dev/null! -Thanx!

Amiga hardware is available though…cheaply. And it’s considerably
better than any emulator
