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.
