Hi and welcome!

Allan:
firstly i am having problems installing new apps into amikit windows and mac.
Can you be more specific, please? What apps, what problems?

Allan:
secondly screen resolutions problems in mac amikit install screen is all blurry and condensed
Any screenshot? What is your native resolution? And what resolution have you set for AmiKit?

Info about your host computers (OS version, HW specs) as well as the Amiga Forever version you used to install AmiKit would help too.

The more specific you are the quicker I can solve that. Or join our Discord for instant chat.

Thank you,
Ján

And what is your AmiKit version, please?

There is a number of pre-installed games in AmiKit so the WHDLoad certainly work.

Is there any error message displayed or anything? Please tell me the name of the particular game that does not work for you, or perhaps send a direct link, please, so I can check it myself.

I don't understand. My Macbook Air M2, for example, runs in 2560x1664 resolution, while my AmiKit 12.1 runs in 1280x800 32bit resolution in a Windowed mode. If a I run a WHDLoad game, the display switches to full-window.

What you can try is to switch AmiKit to fullscreen mode - press F12 and go to WinUAE/Display settings and set both Native and RTG modes to Fullscreen.

You need to upload it somewhere and post a link here. Or join our Discord chat to post screenshots: https://discord.gg/wycKWD3JGK
Or send it to me to amikit@gmail.com

Thank you,

Hello and welcome to AmiKit!
I do not have a MAC computer but since it's an emulation I thought I would ask if you have changed anything in the WinUAE config file? Can you attach the file to a reply please? Maybe there was something that happened to it and we can maybe make some changes there.

I have been trying games downloaded from internet archive i downloaded the package Amiga A500 Mini WHDLoad Collection there are literally 100 s of games in the package tried a few of them in amikit using a windows 10 with vmware fusion package on my imac config stated above, havent had much success so far the amikit program runs all games in the game folder included in amikit but wont run games downloaded in package they stat it has WHDload game files in it. I have also tried to run adf files they do not work. they all seem to work in amiga forever that i own version 10 I have the dvds for it ,

thanks again allan

I am also the owner of a amiga 1000 and amiga 3000 in working order so i have a fond relation ship with the amiga I started with a amiga 500 back in the 80s 90s they could do things windows were dreaming of , amiga is a machine before its time i have a good collection of games and programs on floppy disks i must pull out these computers and programs one day and play with the real amigas at the moment i am tinkering around with emulation of the brute having a lot of fun when i get things working right, will have to revise my memory if i get the real amigas out . I have been down the path with windows. from 286 though to later pentiums and onwards to present day win 7 to win 10, i mainly use mac now have been using them from there oldest computers to my present day intel 8 core imac , they are very dependable computers hardly ever crash
