Amiga Forever 2016 Premium Edition featuring 3 DVDs The new Premium Edition of Amiga Forever! No longer available, replaced by Amiga Forever 8. The Amiga computer, launched by Commodore in 1985, combined superior multimedia technology with ease of use, inspiring millions of the most creative and enthusiastic computer users ever.

November 28, 2015 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2016 and C64 Forever 2016, the latest versions of the official Commodore/Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows.

  1. But now, fast forward to 2016 using Amiga Forever, I'll show you how to run and play two of the the most incredible Dungeon Crawler ever to appear on the Amiga and PC by Westwood Associates (Westwood Studios) with full automapping! 0) First install the commercial Amiga Forever ( Link) &.
  2. Amiga Forever is the official Amiga emulator, preservation and support suite brought to you by Cloanto, developers of Commodore/Amiga software since the 1980s. Different editions of Amiga Forever blend high-quality software and original content with the ultimate set of videos to chronicle and let you experience firsthand the history, culture.

With their gorgeous high-DPI display support and seamlessly integrated 8-bit, 68K and PowerPC virtualization, the 2016 editions blend stunning contrasts of different eras of computing into a powerful player and content authoring interface.

'After almost two years of hard teamwork since the 2014 versions were released, it may seem like the focus is entirely on the products. To some degree, this is true,' said Cloanto's Mike Battilana. 'We are a bit obsessive about software quality. But we also feel the burden of other challenges. For example, a belief in quality and innovation is easy to put into practice by releasing great products, but how can you manifest and be entrusted with a vision of ultimate long-term care?

'As the holders of the Commodore/Amiga copyrights our goal is both 'emulation done right' and 'preservation done right'. This is a long path, which is made possible by the support of our generous customers and contributors. So once again my thankful thoughts go to our community. These 2016 software releases are by them, for them, and they allow us to keep working in this direction.'

Amiga Forever 2016 is available now in three editions:

  • Value Edition (downloadable installer)
  • Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image)
  • Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs)

C64 Forever 2016 is available now in three editions:

  • Free Express Edition (feature-limited version)
  • Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build CD ISO image)
  • Boxed Plus Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed CD)

Both packages recognize and work with each other, for example if the user wishes to merge the different platforms into the same interface. Prices start from $9.95 (Value Edition, or special upgrade offers).

Additional new and improved features that were already included in part in Amiga Forever 2009:

Amiga Forever 2016 Free

  • All included games and demoscene productions are now in RP9format (uses less disk space and makes it very easy to add or remove files)
  • RP9 Toolbox to scan for and import/export content
  • Seamless, one-click integration of AmiKit and AmigaSYS Amiga OS add-ons lets you experience a broader variety of perspectives
  • New system ROMs (e.g. 0.7 Kickstart required to run the software used by Andy Warhol in the 1985 Launch of Amiga demo, Amiga 1000, A590 and A4091 boot ROMs, etc.)
  • Improved documentation and help (new Tip of The Day balloon, new documentation in Windows Help format)
  • Emphasis on usability: interface and settings are improved, but remain consistent with the previous 2009 version and with C64 Forever (also see Tips for Upgraders)
  • Content more than quadrupled (disk images are now compressed in the new RP9 format, and also used directly by the installer)
  • New 'Amiga Forever Game Pack I' (more than 50 games)
  • More than 100 beautiful demoscene productions
  • New Gallery items: original Tripos article, 'top secret' Amiga-Atari documents, and much more
  • New system HDFs: complete Amiga OS 1.3, 2.1 and 3.1 installations with only a minimum of add-ons (e.g. Y2K fixes, RTG update for 3.1), but otherwise identical to the original (including file attributes as intended by Commodore, which were lost in later distributions)
  • New ADFs (1.3 Extras, complete 3.1 install set, etc.)
  • Preinstalled WHDLoad 'kickemu' support
  • New KX Light, bootable from CD and with HD installation option (now featuring live updates) and extended hardware support

Additional details about the player for Windows, which was also greatly improved in the new 2009 version:

  • Revolutionary new and intuitive player interface for Windows, for easy selection and playback of games and other content
  • Professional skin design with familiar 'media player' interface
  • Buttons and other visual controls provide intuitive access to content and emulation features (pause, resume, disk change, reboot, joystick vs. keyboard selection, window size selection, full screen, Amiga screen capture, etc.)
  • The new Amiga Forever player makes it possible to double-click or drag-and-drop downloaded disk images (e.g. RP9, ADF, ADZ, etc.) to play them, using heuristic content analysis to preset a suitable Amiga hardware configuration
  • The player has built-in support for dual screens (can use secondary display for fullscreen Amiga) and multiple emulation sessions
  • Rather than closing an emulation session, it is possible to save its state, for example to resume a game at a later time (the session is up and running again in an instant)
  • It is also possible to undo the changes from the last session and revert to a previous saved state
  • Full undo of RP9, ADF, ADZ, HDF and HDZ disk writes (disk changes may be committed or discarded when exiting the emulation)
  • Windowed mode visualizes games and demoscene productions as they were meant to be displayed, without large unused overscan areas
  • Helpful visualization of additional details (Amiga mouse options, device status with green/red read/write LEDs, context-specific help tips, Tip of the Day balloons, etc.)
  • Integrated video playback (requires MPEG-2 support by the operating system, otherwise the Amiga Forever videos can be read by any DVD player)

Amiga Forever 2016 Key

* May indicate Plus Edition and Premium Edition Features. The Express Edition and Value Edition may be limited to configurations that use certain 1.x ROMs, and include fewer games and demoscene productions out of the box.
