For WHDLoad, you will also need the kick34005.A500 (a special relocatable Kickstart image) in the Devs/Kickstarts drawer of your Amiga hard disk image.
In the simplest terms, the Kickstart is the Amiga's built-in operating system stored on a ROM chip. Think of it as a direct predecessor to a modern PC's BIOS: its primary job is to initialize the Amiga's custom hardware, load core parts of the operating system, and finally, boot from a disk or other device.

Retro tip: Getting Kickstart ROM for Amiga emulation Want authentic Amiga behavior? Use the correct Kickstart ROM version (1.3/2.04/3.1) for your setup. Download from a legitimate archive you own legally, configure your emulator to use that ROM, and boot Workbench. Save snapshots after a clean install.
If you are setting up Amiga emulation on an Android device, a Raspberry Pi, or a VR headset, you can purchase "Amiga Forever Essentials" directly from the Google Play Store. This app legally installs the system ROMs to your device's storage, where emulators like Amiberry or RetroArch can automatically detect them. 3. Physical ROM Dumping
The Amiga community is welcoming to those who do things the right way. So download legally, install correctly, and enjoy the golden age of 16-bit computing.
Once installed, you unlock the entire Amiga library: from the scrolling shoot-‘em-ups of the 16-bit era to the deep simulations and demoscene masterpieces. The hand holding the disk will greet you, and a digital universe of creativity and gaming will be at your fingertips.
Users who own physical Amiga hardware can legally copy their own chips.
: For real hardware, you can buy physical EPROM chips from licensed retailers like AmigaStore.eu . How to Install ROMs For Emulators (WinUAE) Download : Obtain your kick13.rom or kick31.rom file.
Select the specific version (e.g., Kickstart 1.3 for OCS gaming). Step 3: Check for Correct Checksums
running on all Windows platforms,
from Win 7 to Win 11, 32 bit as well as 64 bit versions
without any specific requirements (see Technical Specifications)
including platform-independent Online Versions
for experiments via the Virtual Physiology server
existing so far for SimHeart and SimVessel
with beta-versions of SimMuscle and SimNeuron
SimHeart offers a virtual laboratory for recordings of heart contractions in the Langendorff set-up in response on the most relevant transmitters and drugs, including a drug laboratory for the adjustment of the appropriate solutions.
SimVessel offers a virtual laboratory for the examination of smooth muscle contractions of vessels and the intestine.
The experiments can be done with muscle stripes, placed in an organ bath to which physiologically relevant signal substances and widely used drugs can be added. Preparing the appropriate dilutions can be trained, as in SimHeart, in a drug laboratory.
The virtual “SimMuscle” laboratory contains two nerve-muscle preparations and all the apparatus that you will need for experimentation in a simplified but quite realistic form.
When entering the lab you first need to switch on all the devices (POWER buttons). Then drag one of two already prepared nerve-muscle preparations from the Petri-dish to hang it in the suspension apparatus. This includes a mechano-electrical converter transforming changes of either the muscle force or muscle length, selectable by a toggle switch, into an electric potential. You can pre-stretch the muscle hanging one or more weights in the loop at which the muscle is fixed.
Muscle contractions are induced by current pulses delivered from a stimulation apparatus to the electrodes on which the nerve is placed. Stimuli as well as muscle contractions are displayed on a dual beam storage oscilloscope, appropriately displayed with accordingly adjusted voltage amplification and time base (via the rotary switches) and zero lines. Single or double pulses as well as trains of stimuli of selectable amplitude and intervals can be applied.
The example shows muscle contractions, here changes of the muscle length, in response to different trains of voltage pulses inducing isolated twitches, incomplete and complete tetanic contractions depending on the intervals in which the pulses are applied.

SimNeuron offers virtual laboratories for voltage- and current-clamp experiments in an easy to overlook lab design
In fully licensed versions there is the possibility to select to which specific features of the program the students shall have access. This can be done in so-called pre-settings window which you can open from the labs via the SETTINGS button in the switch bank. In demo versions the pre-settings are fixed with most functions enabled.
