| I've never used a C64 other than via emulation - I was an Amstrad CPC and Spectrum man back in the 80s. If this is anything like the quality of Amiga Forever though, then it will be great. (I liked Amiga Forever so much that I installed it on my real A1200!)
I don't have a Windows box to run it on, otherwise I'd buy a copy.

| I've got nothing against cloanto. (also I own a older version of AmigaForever)
And perhaps they even pay for advertising their windows SW on Amiga sites, I do not know.
But It would be very nice to see Amiga supported as well.
(I do not plan to buy a WindowsOS ever again, I wish developers would at least test their windows apps on Wine, instead of supporting only M$.)
So, C64 forever does not work on Amigas in any way.
But does modern AmigaForever have a installer script also for AOS4 & EUA?

Not that I'm aware of, but it's possible to just drag the System and Work directories off of the CD and use them with UAE manually.

What is retroplatform player and what I benefit from rp2 file format? What is rp2 file format in the first place?

| Nice convenient software for a fair price. I also assume that all the games included are with the author's permission, so you know where you stand. A lot of Amiga users came from a C64 background (although I came from an Amstrad CPC background) and thus this is of interest of them. In addition retro computer platforms should hang together (but now I'll get the wails saying that Amiga isn't a retro computer platform... you can't win).
Speaking of which, the Amstrad CPC has had many new game releases this year, which is nice. |

| I have AmigaForever installed on my Windows NT machine. I have also done a manual install of it on my MAC OS X machine. I purchased and downloaded C64Forever and installed it on my Windows NT machine. What are the chances that I could burn the C64Forever ISO file to a CD and then manually install it on my MAC OS X machine?
Thanks.

| Despite owning dozens of real C64s I have yesterday purchased C64 Forever !
Polished emulators are nice way of using older or alternate systems programs when it is not convenient to set up that hardware.And emultors like Amiga Forever help keep interest alive !
Am buying upgrade to Amiga Forever now;my previous Cloanto purchase was AF2006!
In case anyone doesn't know,JiffyDos for the old C64/C128 hardware is still available(eBay and probably elsewhere)JiffyDos was a great improvement to stock C64 .
If only 1% of former C64 users buy C64 Forever it will be a huge success! |

| Been playing Load Runner like mad. Totally worth the twenty bucks, well put together emulation. I personally would much rather have this tidey package then setting up the emulation myself and maintaining it. |
