No there is no Website.
WinAros is just QEMU running AROS.
The QEMU Docs comes with WinAROS.
If you have any further Question, just ask here. |

It would make it really easy to share virtual hard drives. Instead of having to have multiple copies of my data files, I can have several virtual hard drives that can be "mounted" by UAE and WinAROS (not at the same time...) It's the same reason why one would want NTFS support in Linux even though they have the superior Ext3 and ReiserFS. |

| So to distribute my game to multiple Amiga-related platforms I must
1. Distribute a .lha archive for OS3.x, OS4.x and MOS users.
2. Distribute a .hdf archive for #?UAE users.
3. Distribute a .something archive for AROS users.
4. I guess that leaves Amithlon and OS XL out in the cold.
If #2 and #3 were compatible then I would just need 1 form of virtual hard drive file. |

?!
Why dont you simply distribute your game as a .zip ?
No need to provide WinUAE and WinAROS Users with a HD Image to let them use your game.
All this platform support can extract an zip archive. |

Huh? Why not LHA for everything? And by definition, 4.a == 1.a and 4.b == 2. 1 and 3 have pretty much the same archivers, minus LZX. |

What filesystem does Amithlon use?
What filesystem does OS XL use? |

| Hi,
The Winarostart program does not seem to work - so I cannot get any files into Aros.
i.e it will not write files to MyData.so. Also, I cannot mount any CD-Roms.
Any ideas? |
