New Version Of The Commercial Amiga Emulation Package Amiga Forever 2008

Yes you read right its a commercial package, however you get everything needed with it including the kickstart roms and while AmiKit or AmigaSys may be more to your liking this does a lot of the same stuff with the advantage of everything being above board (unless you got your kickstart roms from your own Amiga for the others that is in which case that arguments no longer valid I guess). This version sees a bunch of nice features including the ability to just double click an .adf & have it launch & run, lets see what else it has shall we?

New features in Amiga Forever 2008 (all editions) include:
• Revolutionary new and intuitive player interface for Windows, for easy selection and playback of games and other content
• The new Amiga Forever player makes it possible to double-click or drag-and-drop downloaded disk images (e.g. ADF, ADZ, IPF, etc.) to play them, using heuristic content analysis to preset a suitable Amiga hardware configuration
• The player has built-in support for dual screens and multiple emulation sessions
• Rather than closing an emulation session, it is possible to save its state, for example to resume a game at a later time (the experience can be amazing, because the session is up and running again in an instant)
• Full undo of ADF, ADZ, HDF and HDZ disk writes (disk changes may be committed or discarded when exiting the emulation)
• Full support for Windows Vista x86 and x64 (probably the first and only Windows software with custom-shaped glass-enabled skin)

Additional details about the new player for Windows:
• Professional skin design with familiar “media player” interface
• Buttons and other visual controls provide intuitive access to content and emulation features (pause, resume, disk change, reboot, joystick vs. keyboard selection, window size selection, full screen, Amiga screen capture, etc.)
• Windowed mode visualizes games and demoscene productions as they were meant to be displayed, without large unused overscan areas
• Helpful visualization of additional details (Amiga mouse options, device status with green/red read/write LEDs, etc.)
• Integrated video playback (requires MPEG-2 support by the operating system, otherwise the Amiga Forever videos can be read by any DVD player)

Additional new features in the Plus Edition of Amiga Forever 2008:
• Content more than tripled (disk images are now compressed, and also used directly by the installer)
• New “Amiga Forever Game Pack I” (more than 100 games)
• More than 100 beautiful demoscene productions
• New Gallery items: original Tripos article, “top secret” Amiga-Atari documents, and much more
• New system HDFs: complete Amiga OS 1.3, 2.1 and 3.1 installations with only a minimum of add-ons (e.g. Y2K fixes, RTG update for 3.1), but otherwise identical to the original (including file attributes as intended by Commodore, which were lost in later distributions)
• New ADFs (1.3 Extras, complete 3.1 install set, etc.)
• New ROMs (Amiga 1000, A590 and A4091 boot ROMs, system-specific ROMs required for added compatibility, etc.)
• Preinstalled WHDLoad “kickemu” support
• New KX Light, bootable from CD and with HD installation option (featuring live updates) and extended hardware support

New features in the Value Edition of Amiga Forever 2008:
• Includes 50 games and 50 demos (more than the 2006 Premium Edition!)
• Change of name (used to be “Online Edition”)
