Do I have the chance of playing the Amiga version of Lemmings on Windows XP ?
(all included, sounds, music etc..)

Thanks :thumbsup:

Well if you have access to a copy of Lemmings For Windows (you'll need the data), there's a version in Java called Lemmini (created by 0xdeadbeef of this forum) which intends to mimic the Amiga version (including music, levels, etc...)
I quite like it. No multiplayer support yet, though.

Apart from that, your best bet's probably to find an Amiga emulator.


(gah, some editing went awry.)

If you Google for it you should find all the files you need.  Mindless's Lemmings portal should have a copy of Amiga Lemmings.  Google would easily get you WinUAE, an Amiga emulator for Windows.

Then what remains is the Amiga "KickStart ROM".  This unfortunately can be tricky to find, but if you persevere with your web searching you should be able to find somewhere you can download from.  I'll see if I have a link saved somewhere.

Once you have all the files, go thru the WinUAE documentation to see how to set things up and you should be good to go.

There's however something annoying with Lemmings under WinUAE, there's a music instrument that doesn't play well. The "string" like instrument plays very badly in:

Lemming1
Lemming3

Is it WinUAE that emulates the songs badly or it's the Rom that isn't good?
I like dragons! They're the center of my life! I'll never forget them...

Maybe it sounds that way too on the actual Amiga computer, who knows?  (unless you owned an Amiga at some point).

To see whether it's WinUAE's fault or not, just download another MOD player and compare.

If you're using the ADF disks, they were corrupted when cracked and are not reliable.
If you're using the IPF disks, there is a problem with the emulator as the samples on those disks are not corruptted.
