If you want to use the PFS3 file system (which is recommended), you need to mount the archive with the handler as a file system as well: Now you need to add your compact flash card as a file system, as well as the pfs3 handler. It should not be write protected (use a copy if you don’t want to risk modifying your original image). Floppy drivesĪdd the Workbench installer disk image to DF0. Use the appropriate Kickstart ROM (probably the same as in your amiga). RAMĪdd some Z3 Fast RAM, I used 64 MB, just as in the original video. Uncheck cycle exact, otherwise leave the default values. Otherwise this process will take literally forever. Now we need to configure the system, and make it a little faster than a real Amiga. Step 3 - Configure virtual Amiga in WinUAE This completely wipes the file system information from the disk, making it ready to use in the Amiga. If you want to be completely sure that you have selected the correct disk, you can run detail disk just to verify. Be very, very sure that you select the correct disk. Next, select your compact flash card, in my case it’s disk 6: select disk 6. This should give you a result something like this: In order to do this, run diskpart in an Administrative command prompt.įirst, list your disk by entering list disk. In order to use the Compact Flash card in an Amiga, you need to remove all previous file system information from it. Put everything in a folder somewhere on your PC. I downloaded both games and demo packs from, but they are available from many more places, just search for whdload games pack. The original tutorial suggested that game packs could be downloaded from, but that doesn’t seem to work anymore. These can be found for example at (), it’s the kickstarts.lha file you’re looking for. You will also need kickstart files for WHDLoad. I used the LITE version for the Amiga 1200, but for an Amiga 600 you probably want the 68K version. Hard disk images for Classic WB can be found at (). This is not strictly necessary, but it’s faster than the standard AFFS and supports larger partitions.

You probably want to use the PFS3 file system, and you will need to download the handler for that from. They can also be found on several places on the Internet, as usual DuckDuckGo is your friend. This is still under copyright, and at least the Workbench images can be bought from. You will need a copy of the Kickstart ROM and Workbench disk images, version 3.0 or 3.1. From what I can tell, the difference seems to be very minor, so it shouldn’t matter. I was using version 4.0.1, although I now see that version 4.3.0 is available. This tutorial uses the WinUAE amiga emulator, which can be found on. Step 1 - Download stuffįirst of all, you will need to download a bunch of software. This tutorial also assumes that you are running Windows, although it should be possible to use pretty much the same procedure with FS-UAE on Linux or Mac. But you will need a Compact Flash card with a capacity of at least 4GB, some kind of CF-IDE adapter (not neccessarily that one) and of course a Compact Flash reader for your computer. I won’t go into the hardware side of this, because there’s really nothing to it. The original video can be found here, along with instructions and download links.

I thought it might be useful because a) I prefer written instructions, and b) it would give me a chance to update and correct the instructions so that they actually work.

This time, however, for the benefits of my readers I thought I’d write down the process in a blog post. This one actually had a hard drive, but who knows how long that will keep on working, so I though I’d replace it with a Compact Flash card as well. Now, recently I was generously given an Amiga 1200.

I found a video by Nostalgia Nerd on Youtube, where he goes through the process of installing Classic Workbench and WHDLoad on a Compact Flash card, unfortunately this video is (currently) four years old, and also very… quick? With the help of the comments and some trial and error, I managed to get it working, though. But eventually I though I should try to use WHDLoad, so that I could run more games directly from the hard drive.

That worked fine, and I could install Workbench on the CF card, and use it. It did not have a hard drive, but all Amiga 600 have an IDE port, and you can use a Compact Flash card with a CF-IDE adapter as a hard drive.
