There's loads on ebay already set up with workbench and games though the legality of these is debatable

Or you can get the ide to cf adapter really cheap (less than £5) and then pick up a cheap cf card and configure it using winuae.

Hello,

We cannot load AmigaOS and Games on our hard drives as that breaks licensing laws.

However we pre-load our Amiga CF hard drives with our own in-house developed OS-Install utility to make it as easy as possible for our customers.

We charge a lot less than sellers on Ebay who distribute software that they do not have any license to do so and charge large premiums in the process.

Our prepped/partitioned and Amiga formatted drives with OS-Install start at £18.95

So if I buy the Amiga Kit one and parition it using your software. Can I just plug the CF Card in my pc/laptop and drag and drop games to the Card? Then click and play when in the Amiga 1200?
 
I do want some WHDLOAD action with my a1200 that has a Amitek Hawk Ram Card lol...

Not quite.  You could put the card in your PC, run WinUAE, mount the card as a real Amiga hard drive and then copy the games from within Workbench of the PC's hard drive onto the CF card (using DOPUS for example).

I do it all the time.

I save a WinUAE configuation to match my real Amigas and "Minimigs" based on the specs of each one.

I'm on a budget here. I don't really want to pay £36+ lol
 
I'd do it myself but it all looks a bit difficult :flak:
 
Unless I buy all the kit and someone wants to be kind to me and load it all up if I send it to them.

Cheapest option though with a bit of work.
Assuming you have a legal copy of workbench/OS you can get the adapter for £3 and a CF card for £10.
Next download a workbench adf (and possibly something like amigasys.) and winuae.
Follow one of the guides in this forum for setting up a harddrive/cf card with winuae and install workbench. Once installed copy the games you want on to the harddrive. You could do a search for the kgwhdload game packs in google to help with the games. You will also need to download the kickstart files and purchase the license for whdload. See http://www.whdload.de for more information
Once you are happy it contains everything you need plug it into your amiga and away you go.

Easiest legal option - Amigakit

Is there a tutorial anywhere as to how to go about doing the above (mounting the card in winuae, copy files, etc)?  I have the card/adapter already, and there are some games I want to copy/install and don't know how

Also with this methid I guess I can just copy a file to s ome folder or something within the cf card (within it's workbench?) as for example some disk images and a program like adf2dsk and be able to transfer them that way to real floppies?

Use winuae 2.3.3 or the most up-to-date version
