When I typed "Me" I instantly thought it was ripe for exploitation. Time to roll out all the old "Me" jokes!
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
I presently have a pc and I am curious about emulation if AF is the CD to use what or how does it start working, what is the first step after loading the CD ?
It's already late now and I'm just pointing you at a guide how to use emulation which can be found at our main site here.
And by AF I guess you mean ADF which means Amiga Disk File and is exactly what it means, don't think I have to explain much more
There also games on CD, but most stuff, and older stuff, is mainly stored on disks, and you can load ADF files directly with WinUAE (Amiga emulator).
And you need the kickstart ROM files, but that is explained in the guides on our main site.
You can download the latest version of WinUAE here in the forum at the emulation section, or from the WinUAE site www.winuae.net
And btw, welcome to Classicamiga
@ Demon Cleaner
I think by AF Ritty means Amiga Forever so he already has the ROMs etc and everything installed.
@Ritty
I'll be honest and don't know what Amiga Forever is like I use Winuae. I take it you've installed everything and started it with no problems? Hopefully the guide DC has pointed you to should help if not post another message with the problems you are having and someone will be able to help you.
Most of all welcome to the madness.

Amiga Forever uses WinUAE as it's emulator. It is a slightly older version compared to the standalone version.
If you are booting the Amiga Forever disc in your PC then you will be booting into a version of Linux that is running from the CD itself and this uses a custom setup Workbench running on the Linux version of the Amiga emulator UAE.
If however you load Windows and then access the Amiga Forever CD, then it will be running WinUAE and will be using a set of the Amiga kickstart roms licensed legally on the Amiga Forever disc.
Amiga Forever comes with a few games already included on the CD, and it has a program launcher to load directly into games without having to load the emulator and then load the games and set the emulator up.
However I would recommend you try downloading the latest version of winuae, as mentioned by Demon Cleaner above. Then use the Amiga kickstart files from the Amiga Forever CD with WinUAE. And you can download games and other software for the emulator from our main site, and many more from loads of other sites, but have a look at planetemu.net first for a huge collection to get hold of most you might be after.
