Download Amiga Forever 2012

Regular visitors to the Meuktracker are probably familiar with WinUAE, an Amiga emulator for Windows. However, this is delivered without kickstart, say the bios/firmware of an Amiga, and without software, simply because this is still copyrighted. However, Amiga Forever has been available since 1997, a collection of emulators for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, among others, kickstarts, Amiga software and additional drivers. Amiga Explorer is also part of Amiga Forever, which makes it possible to communicate with an Amiga on a Windows PC via a serial connection or a network connection.

Amiga Forever is available in three different versions. The Value Edition costs only 9.95 euros, but you only get version 1.3 of the kickstart and Workbench plus forty games. The Plus version has kickstart and Workbench versions 1.0 to 3.1 for 29.95 euros, a wider range of software and emulators for platforms other than just the Windows platform. For another 20 euros extra there is also the Premium Editionthose two DVD videos with a total of five hours of nostalgia video contains. Cloanto released version 2012 of Amiga Forever and its changelog looks like this:
