* Emulation software for Windows is ready to run (from medium or
after installation, no additional downloads required). ROM and OS
files can be used for emulation on other platforms (e.g. Mac OS,
GNU/Linux, etc.), but may be unsupported and may require download
and manual installation of additional free software. Due to
hardware differences, Amiga floppy drives and some other
peripherals cannot be connected to non-Amiga hardware, even if
running an emulation.
** Automatic updates and additional downloads require internet
connection.
*** Experimental feature for advanced users. May not work on all hardware.
