How to play an Amiga game on Windows

More specifically Dreamweb.

I have 5 files which stand for each of the games floppy disks and they are all .ADF files.

I have WinUAE but I can't seem to configure it correctly, I've been told I need a kickstart rom to which I said WTF :|

Can someone lend me a hand?

    Kickstart roms are only purchasable.

    Please do not seek free copies.

    Thanks!

    That is to say, I once saw a place to purchase them on CD legally, from the current owners of that intellectual property.


    edit: Okay, looks like Gateway owns the rights, but has not provided any way for you to legally obtain them. Whatever I saw previously was piracy, and this thread can only lead to piracy.

    Piracy threads usually get locked.

    I have nothing to contribute other than the day my mum randomly bought an A1200 with Zool 2, Dennis and Oscar was a glorious day.

    Although my parents back then were dirty pirates and almost all out games were copies from friends, I didn't know until years after that not all games came on blank floppys...

    I did have a genuine copy of Gaurdian: Game of kings though. That was mindblowing, it looks almost real.

    Amiga Forever included a legal soft copy of the kickstart. Track down a copy somewhere.

    Yeah, but Amiga Forever is not free nor cheap

    40 bucks? Less than most games.

    We're talking about a system that was born in 1985 and is already dead.

    40 bucks? That's a no no

    And now for the inevitable locking.

    Oh, you have no idea what you're talking about. Hell, the C64 scene is still thriving.

    But well, thread over then.
