Emulator/Joystick help

I bought an Amiga Emulator and loads of games for the missus to play on my PC. If i get a usb joystick for the PC, will it work with the emulator?

I would have thought so yes.

Emulators come with that kind of thing as standard don't they? I've never had any problems anyway.

Bought? Does it read 3.5" disks or something?

BOUGHT?! Why not just download WinUAE and the ROMS you need?

I tried doing this but it was a bugger to get working.. I shall no doubt try again one day!

I did mention this before he bought it, but heed me he did not.

TBH there's a lot to be said for buying the Amiga Forever package - it's all set up, works properly, and is complete with official ROMs and everything.

And where would one get the Amiga Forever package from?

myp · **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2009 15:46

I got it on the cover of the first issue of Retro Gamer I bought.

I bet it ain't the Amiga Forever package though. I bet it's a generic Anmiga CD of Stüffe thing with a downloaded WinUAE and some 17 bit or LSD compilation games. Someone charging you for downloading the buggers.

Well.. I'm pretty sure I should have guessed that really.. or at least used google before asking such a lame question. Thanks anyway!

No, I bought it, on actual CD. The included PPaint (also by Cloanto) is worth the price alone. Yes, it's WinUAE but the AF GUI makes it very nice to use.
The more recent versions are quite heavily tailored towards gaming, which is fair enough I suppose.

I think he was talking about the Dromeister, not you.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2009 15:50

Yeah, you may have. I were referring to Dro Man.

kalmar · **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2009 15:52

Oh right.

Oopsy daisy! I appear to have dropped an a1200 config and a wayward Star Trek ROMulan in a rar archive on here. Damn these butter fingers! That Romulan will need to find his path home.

"mypisacunt", isn't he?

Oops, I seem to have downloaded a password protected file. I wonder what the password may be!

Yes, I wonder what that password could possibly be.
