Amiga emulation.
Hey /vr/. I'm looking to emulate an Amiga 1.3 workbench on a modern PC. I know it's possible to emulate with the whatever emulator, but my problem is I'd like to make a dedicated Amiga 500 or above out of a spare PC have laying around that I can use to boot pirate floppies with.
Is something like this possible? Essentially make a modern PC use the Amiga 'OS' and boot pirated floppies. I'm not asking for a 100% perfect emulation, and I am happy if it is an emulation as long as I don't have to deal with windows, arcade guis and I can boot software from floppies
I feel like this makes no sense.

Boot from floppies ain't gonna happen, but you could try this:

Closest you will get to an Amiga experience on a PC with integrated 68k emulation.

For real on the floppies? Why is that?

I'm all honesty I just miss having to swap disks. Do you know if it would be possible to set up something like WinUAE to read from a floppy drive for the adf file instead of loading the individual disks in the same time and swapping using the gui? I couldn't find anything.

You can run games from floppy with Icaros/AROS, but you can't boot from them straight away.

I missed having to swap discs too until recently when it took me an entire 12 hours to get through the fate of atlantis. There and then I got myself a gotek and dremeled it in this weekend.

Blasphemy!

What do you mean by this? So if I were to make a dedicated Icaros/AROS PC I could launch adf floppy games (at least run from the floppy)? OR would I have to own original Amiga game floppies? I don't have the crazy floppy burner to burn Amiga formatted disks.

If I have questions about ZX Spectrum Emulation (mainly, what the fuck do I do and where the fuck do I even begin? This is coming from someone who has never seen the bloody thing... but played a lot of Jetpac in Donkey Kong 64 and wants MORE) should I ask here, make another separate thread, or what do?
>>

Well you can't read Amiga games on a PC (you will need additional hardware), so disk images are the way to go.
>>
>>3875560
You can get pretty close using WinUAE and a CRT.
Probably won't be able to use physical floppies though. But WinUAE has good floppy emulation including speed settings and also sampled audio of the original hardware spinning and reading etc.

Why does that hand look so funny?

The line coming down from the thumb extends too far and fucks the perspective on it
