For me the easiest way is to use WinUAE it works on every windows and have all kinds of different CPU emulations also it's supports joypads or keyboard and you can load adf or disk games on it

This is not to be taken serious unless you want to. For just the enjoyment of the art I bought me one of those drives on Amazon. Not only Amiga but every single system. You can even clone it to an NVME to speed up everything. Sprite based Games look stellar with a 4K LED.

I am using WinUAE the game below read 100% read but it stays on the blue screen.Another one was 100% read and yet it is blue screen yet again.?

Do you know why i have had 3 discs that have read 100% yet just stay on a blue screen?Would these Roms have something to do with it?it has
blue lines then goes completely blue?

It could be down to the file format you ripped the floppys to.
best info on formats i can link is this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Disk_File#:~:text=Amiga Disk File (ADF) is,called by any particular name.
I have not messed with amiga emulation for years but give me a few days and i will get back to you after i have messed with a few things.

If you're willing to spend a little for it - Amiga Forever is probably the best compendium and setup of licensed Amiga games and software. It basically integrates the Amiga workbench into your operating system and runs just about as seamlessly as it can. I like it.

Otherwise, source your software and setup WinUAE by yourself

Amiga Forever is defo much easier to use. WinUAE can be a pain to setup when new to it.

Try different kickstart rom sometimes it's just because certain games required specific kickstart to work......
