This may work well with AmigaOS 3.1 and lower, but with AmigaOS 3.9 it can be a bit problematic. The thing is that WinUAE needs to be set up to emulate an Amiga which is precisely like the real Amiga the harddisk is intended for, this is because the AmigaOS 3.9 install will be customized to the very Amiga it is installed on. Failing to do this.

Because Amiga Forever 6.0 and higher include most of the same functionality, if not newer functionality, Cloanto does not recommend the installation of the software known as 'Amiga OS 3.5' or 'Amiga OS 3.9' on Amiga Forever without reading this page first.

For additional information about the operating system version installed in Amiga Forever please refer to:

The installation of 'Amiga OS 3.5' on top of Amiga Forever 6.0 or higher would represent a 'downgrade'. As such, the procedure is neither recommended nor supported.

It is however possible (although not considered necessary or recommended) to install and reinstall the product known as 'Amiga OS 3.9' in Amiga Forever.

Quick tips:

• Make sure that the emulation configuration is set to a 68020 CPU and a 3.1 Amiga ROM, and that audio is enabled and working (the Installer may crash or freeze on Amiga computers with no audio)
• Depending on the version of the product, the volume name of the CD-ROM should be 'AmigaOS3.9' (note the '.' character, which the emulation supports for its volume names, but which some operating systems will strip by default, considering it 'illegal' in a CD volume name). The volume name can be manually set in the emulation options, if necessary.
• If the installer still freezes when outputting sound at the beginning of the installation set the WinUAE sound options to 'Emulated, 100% accurate', 16 bit, stereo.
• In the pre-installation, answer Yes to the question 'Do you use a 4-way IDE adapter?' (this will prevent an incompatible patch from being installed)
• Do not install any CD-ROM drivers or TCP/IP stack (the emulation inherits both from the host environment)
• The Installer may fail to set proper write and delete attributes on the Amiga files, causing a lot of 'Can the file be deleted and/or overwritten?', 'Error in file ENVARC:..' and other error messages. To prevent this, copy the installation directory to the hard disk, and use the Protect command to reset the proper attributes (e.g. 'Protect Work:OS39 rwed ADD ALL').

The product known as 'Amiga OS 3.9' requires a 68020 CPU, version 3.1 of the Amiga ROM, and sound emulation. This requires a 'downgrade' of the ROM version which is preset in the 'Workbench 3.X' configuration of Amiga Forever, which includes a newer '3.X' ROM. Make sure that you configure the emulation and set these options appropriately.

On some systems the default sound output method may be unavailable, in which case the sound setting for the 'Workbench 3.X' configuration falls back to no sound, which may require a manual adjustment. To perform this change, select the manual configuration option, load the 'Workbench 3.X' configuration, enable Sound Emulation, select whichever Sound Output Method is available, and save the settings. To take advantage of all the sound options on Windows make sure that you have the latest version of DirectX installed.

During installation of new operating system files, do not install any CD-ROM, SCSI or IDE drivers, as these interfaces are already taken care of by the corresponding Windows drivers. The emulation has high-level file systems access to these devices. CD-ROM drives can be mounted in the emulation like any other Windows hard disk or directory, without requiring special Amiga drivers, or by using the CacheCDFS software which is already preinstalled in Amiga Forever. We recommend that you do not install the TCP/IP software or configure the Amiga side of TCP/IP so that it dials out to the internet. TCP/IP is already provided by the emulation environment, and is enabled by default in the 'Workbench 3.X' configurations. The appropriate procedure to establish an Amiga internet dial-up connection under the emulation is to let the host side (e.g. Windows) do the dialing and logon (automatically, if so desired).

Foreword

This isthe “unofficial” english translation of Thomas Rapp’s guide on how to installAmigaOS3.9 under the WinUAE enviroment. I have asked Mr Rapp for approval ofthis document and he agreed that I could upload it to the net. (Just check Amiga.Org and you’llsee how many of the newbies there who have severe problems installing a fullyfunctioning AmigaOS3.9 installation.) Also, I can’t speak german so this isfreely translated, and not 100% accurate with Mr Rapp’s words. Also I’d like toadd that running an Amiga in a emulated enviroment is NOT wrong to do. You realAmiga users (I run a real Amiga too though… :) should NOT look down upon thosewho choose the emulation as a way to run Amiga software. Most people I knowthat run WinUAE either get a real Amiga after a while or buy real Amigasoftware for the emulation enviroment. This is just one way of experiencing theAmiga Experience.

Setting up

You need a version of WinUAE, preferably thelatest, and kickstart 3.1 Roms & key.

Start WinUAE and make a new configuration. You cancall it “AmigaOS39”.

Then, go into the harddrive setup part, and create thefollowing harddrive directories:

In theboot partition we have to create a startup-sequence so we can boot from itwithout a workbench installation.

Mr Rappcreated a zip file with all the necessary files and I’ve uploaded it to mywebsite. You can download it from http://elite79.tripod.com/os39uae/start.zip

Copy the Scatalogue from the Zip file to the WB39 harddrive, just as in the picturebelow.

Itshould look like this if you open it with an editor:

The .rexxscript in the zip file goes into the root of the WB39 catalogue. (I.ED:WinUAEharddrivesWB39CopyOS39.rexx.

Configuration

Set the kickstart to 3.1

Don’t check the “Add PC Drives at Startup”. It justclutters up the workbench when we are going to install AOS39.

Add your CD-Rom drive by entering it’s drivemapletter. DON’T add the slash (/) at the end though, Amiga OS won’t recognize itif you do.

Download Iso Windows 10

Configure the graphics settings like the picturebelow.

Set the CPU to 68020 and select 'Fastestpossible, but maintain Chipset' to get some speed.

Emulate 100% sound or the AmigaOS3.9 installation willhang and/or crash.

Save your configuration at this point.

Copying the AmigaOS3.9 CD.

Insert your AmigaOS3.9 CD into your CD drive.

In the shell window, enter the following command asshowed below.

If it can’t copy the files, then readwrite the CD withthis command which you type in the shell window.

protect AmigaOS3.9:#? +wd all

Then try again.

Installation

Start the OS3.9 Installation from the directory whereyou copied the AmigaOS3.9.

Select to create an Emergency disk.

When it asks for a disk just hit F-12 and select theFloppies Tab.

Push the “Create Standard Floppy” button,and type in afitting name to your disk, such as Emergency. Classic asp file upload. (you don’t need to type the .ADFending)

When the disk is created, Don’t eject it but rebootthe Amiga. (either by pressing CTRL+Windowskey + Windowskey or by pressingF-12, misc, and Reboot Amiga button)

This message will pop up as soon as the disk boots.

Just click ABORT and go into the workbench drawer,then prefs, then screenmode preferences.

Set the settings like this:

The Amiga dockbar don’t load the correct setup so you can find the correctone in this directory: AmigaOS3.9:Emergency-Boot/Prefs/Env-Archive/SYS.

Select the Amidock window and select Edit Configurationin the menu (as shown below).

Now carry on with the installation.

On the question about graphics card, answer Yes.

After the installation is done, hit F-12, then thefloppies tab and eject the emergency disk.

Reboot your Amiga and hopefully AmigaOS3.9 will load.

Click ABORT when the uae.device unit 3 window pops up.

remove from Devs/Dosdrivers the Emergency_CD icon sinceWinUAE can’t handle that.

You can install the internet software at this point ifyou like.

Installation ofthe Boingbag

Download the boingbag update from the internet, eitherby using Explorer in Windows or by installing the internet software and runningAweb from the Amiga enviroment.

Copy theBoingbag file into the Workbench Partition. The boingbag is LhA compressed soyou have to go to Aminet and download it from there. Just search for lha.run

You needthe AmigaOS3.9 cd-rom in the drive when you install the boingbag.

When youhave aquired lha.run, place it in the Work: partition

Open up ashell window (right mouse button, choose execute command in the menu, typeNEWSHELL)

Then dolike this

cd work:

This iswhere we placed the lha.run file

lha.runram:

we installlha.run to RAM memory.

copyram:lha c:

then wecopy lha to the system itself.

lha x boingbag39-1

we unpackthe boingbag.

Then wecan proceed with installing the boingbag itself.

There! Nowyou got a working AmigaOS3.9 installed in WinUAE.

Installation ofPicasso96

On the AmigaOS3.9 cd there is a picasso96 installer.

Download Iso Free

You’ll find it in the Contribution drawer. (asshown below)

The graphicscard uaegfx will automatically berecognized. Select it.

Reboot after the installation is done.

Download Iso Image

Swap out to Windows (yuck, puke!) and copy the rtg.libraryfile which you can find in the Amiga Programs directory in WinUAE.

.¨.and place it into your Workbench harddrive underLibsPicasso96 as shown below.

Now swapintothe Amiga enviroment again, and open up the screenmode preferences as before.

If it doesn’t look like the picture below, then rebootthe Amiga and try again.

Select a screenresolution that fits your computer andyour taste.

And…

We got afully functioning AmigaOS3.9 installation under WinUAE! Have extremely fun nowwith your Amiga!
