Amiga Forever on Mac OS

The preconfigured Amiga ROM, OS and application software files distributed with Amiga Forever (Plus Edition) can directly be used with different Mac OS ports of the UAE Amiga emulation software.

Ready-to-run and preconfigured universal binaries of E-UAE and Hi-Toro are included in the Private/Mac directory on the Amiga Forever CD.

Note: The cross-platform content in Amiga Forever, while compatible with Mac applications, is not as user friendly as the Windows version. It is intended for a more technical audience who is already familiar with emulation on the intended platform.

The additional Windows-only software included in Amiga Forever does not run on Mac OS. This includes the Amiga Forever one-click launcher, Software Director and Amiga Explorer. Also, there is no Mac-specific installer included in Amiga Forever (the files have to be copied manually from the Private/Mac directory of the Amiga Forever distribution to the desired destination folder on the Mac hard disk).

Although older, pre-Mac OS X versions of UAE are known to work with the ROM and operating system files included with Amiga Forever, we recommend the use of one of the following newer ports and add-ons for Mac OS X:

• E-UAE, ported and maintained by Richard Drummond
• E-UAE universal binaries by Jens Weichert
• Hi-Toro Configuration Editor

Tutorials on using Amiga emulation on a Mac:

• E-UAE Quick Guide
• Amiga Emulation am Mac (German)

Amiga Forever includes a configuration file which is ready to run with MaxUAE, and UAE (for GNU/Linux) configuration files which should work well with all versions of UAE, including the Mac OS X port.
