If you are unsure about using WinUAE instead of the 'native' E-UAE ports for Mac OS X, let me tell you that there is a world of difference in reliability and functionality between them.
I did all of this and more a couple of years back with VMware Fusion, and it's the same virtual machine I still use with Amiga Forever. Now your system is ready for Amiga Forever or WinUAE. So I'd recommend that you do this over the weekend whenever you can keep an eye on the system and reboot the virtual machine as necessary.įinally, proceed to uninstall every bit of software that came with Windows XP which you don't need, and which only takes up space, e.g. Since this update installation process will require frequent reboots you can't leave it completely unattended.
Legal and valid Windows XP installation CDs still go cheaply on eBay.Ĭreate a 16 GByte virtual disk, install Windows XP inside Virtualbox, register your copy of Windows XP and wait for a gazillion of operating system updates to be installed. There's a cheaper solution: Virtualbox is free, and if you don't need Windows for anything other than to run WinUAE, it's more than adequate.
