Amiga Emulation Guide @ TweakGuides

This guide is a tribute to the Commodore Amiga 500 – my first real "personal computer", and the beginning of what was to become my deep interest in all things computer-related. As such, I hope you excuse the somewhat nostalgic aspects of this guide, as well as my focus on the emulation of the Amiga 500 above all other Amigas.

The original Amiga (the Amiga 1000) arrived in 1985, and although I'd heard about it and seen it in computer stores, it wasn't until the Amiga 500 came out in 1987 that my parents considered buying one. By that time I had friends who owned IBM, Macintosh and even ageing Commodore 64 computers, and I felt a bit left out. I was jealous of my friends who could play seemingly endless varieties of amazing games on their Commodore 64s, or who had this incredible thing called a "mouse" for their Macintosh which made using even word processing programs look like fun.
