Question
I have an amiga500 and a fair few of my games work i was trying to get them goin on my laptop with the emulator but it says i need a kickstart program (which i can purchase or port from my current amiga) Any ideas how i can do the latter as i am missing out on some classic games that got lost over time
Many Thanks

Answer
Hi Christopher,

I normally wouldn't recommend the following website, but seeing as you own the Amiga that you want a ROM from, there should be no legal issues. You should be able to download the ROM you have in your Amiga from here:

http://www.lemonamiga.com/?mainurl=http%3A//www.lemonamiga.com/help/kickstart-ro...

Failing that, you should be able to grab your ROM with one of the following programs, such as GrabKick.lha:

I hope this helps!
