Hello all,

Hopefully someone out there can help??? ???

I would like to get back to the good old days of SWOS, that I used to play for hours (days!!!) on the Amiga in the 90 s.

I now dont have an Amiga (it died many years ago :() and have a Samsung netbook.

I have tried lots of different ways to get SWOS running and have had some success but never complete. I get the sound but no joypad compatibility or then sometimes no sound etc.....etc....etc....

My latest download was the PC SWOS 96/97 (not from here I might add) and I think it works through DosBox, but I cant get the joypad working (never could get on with keys) and it doesnt also seem to have an option to quit to windows. I have to crash the programme out to quit????

Can someone please post me the links to the latest download and updates and if possible some idiot proof instructions ;D

I just want to delete all the failed attempts off the laptop and start from fresh to get a full working version to relive my hayday!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Rob

Thanks, I did browse this quickly (as I m at work!!!) and I presume I want to download the latest version which is on the last few pages of the thread somewhere??? ???

My question is......is this an easy installation? And easy to install updates?

Will it work through DosBox or do I need anyother software?

And will any joypad work with it?

Thanks again ;D
