Many months ago, during a public discussion on an Amiga forum, I had an idea to tackle the problem of getting classic software to run easily and efficiently on AmigaOS 4 through UAE, without requiring the user to be an Amiga hardware and emulation expert. Such idea consisted in per-application installers that would only ask the user a few simple questions and then install the software in such a way that it would run efficiently (or even optimally).
Both to verify the interest of the community and to get a little reward for the effort, I produced some installers and asked for 1 Euro for each of them. Except for a couple of very generous donations from two kind fellow Amigans, the project has been a total failure. Therefore, I have now decided to close the project and to make the existing installers freely available to everybody.

As a quick visual introduction, have a look at this video, that shows Superfrog being installed from scratch and then launched.

You can find detailed information and the installers in the HELPERS page on glUAE's website.

Enjoy!

This is the first I've heard of this but I think it's a great idea and I would have been willing to pay for such installers.

Thanks for reporting the problem, but I guess I can't do anything as the domain is not mine - I'm just using the web space provided for free by Interfree (the ISP).

Via OpenDNS

@danwood

I have just tried accessing the site through OpenDNS and had no problems. As suggested by the error report you got, it must be a problem with your personal settings (BTW, I have none).


@all

Who tried to download Lionheart's helper can try again now - the 404 NOT FOUND problem was due to the fact that the link missed the ".lha" part. Sorry.

I just wanted to inform you that the helper for Kick Off 2 CV, previously not available because the URL I had was no longer valid, can now be downloaded. Many thanks to lolafg who, on EAB, gave me the new URL.
