#Amiga
I updated a bunch of partitions on my Amiga MiSTer setup to use PFS3 today. I can now have longer filenames when working on development projects on the machine. #amiga
Just doing some preparation for my next AMOS video… no, wait… er…what? 😳🤔
YAYAY! It's #Amiga Monday! Game Exploration A-Z (W)

Going live in a mo, starting another weird French adventure game for the Amiga. This time it's Chrono Quest (1988) from Psygnosis (not to be confused with Chrono Trigger).

My second but not the last #Amiga event of 2023 is going to be Amiga Ruhrpott Convention, taking place for the first time this May in Duisburg, Germany. I do like the way this year has been turning out so far!
We have entered the Twilight Zone... I am doing a Macintosh SE/30 video for #MARCHintosh - Will I be able to resist comparing it to an #Amiga 3000? Tune in and find out!

Not much spare time this weekend, but I got some different creep types added. Much more difficult now :)
Two more types to add, then I can maybe start tweaking the difficulty progression. Really I'd need the shop done too so the player can power-up.
Also super happy to have got a musician on-board, the mighty DJ METUNE ❤️
Es gibt ein neues #diy Low Cost #midi #interface für den #Amiga . Es ist ein reines "Out" Interface und damit super klein und super günstig (unter €10,-).

Well the "Memories" section will be growing quite a bit this year, as there is these machines what I will add:
#Commodore PET - from Jun 1977
#Atari 2600/VCS - from Oct 1977
#Commodore64 - from Sep 1982
#Amiga #CD32 - from Sep 1993
Some History here folks ..
One week until our next #Norwich #Amiga Group meet at Bowling House, 5-7 Dereham Road, Norwich, NR2 4HX.
Not only is it NAG's sixth anniversary weekend we're holding a Micro Machines tournament - like the event it's open to all and no entry fees!
Hopefully we'll see a lot of Norwich & #Norfolk based people there for some #RetroGaming and #RetroComputing fun, as always.

Oh shit, THIS brings back sweet memories! #Amiga, the Scene, Sound Tracker, Fast Tracker, Chris Hülsbeck… Coincidentally a couple of weeks ago I thoug about using the Tracker input format to create lightshows with #wled 🤔 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roBkg-iPrbw

Picked up a few non-functional cards for my #Amiga 2000 , a GVP 68030 card with SCSI and an A2088XT . If you look carefully you might be able to see what's wrong with the XT card.

If you’re interested in music making with an #Amiga, sampling and trackers, cTrix made this video and it’s the best I’ve seen on the topic. It’s so interesting and well done! It was really like this. #trackedmusic #protracker #samplers https://youtu.be/i9MXYZh1jcs
I've had a crash whenever I've plugged a USB drive into my Deneb for a few weeks. Not sure if it's the 3.2.2 upgrade or something else. Snoopdos spotted Trident complain about MagicWB, so I held my nose and installed it, which blatted a ton of configs. Then I went back to BestWB for 3.2 which blatted the rest and now my A4000 is in a right old state. I think I'll do a full rebuild once I've moved and built the NAS, as most of my #amiga warez archives can live there.
Jean 'Moebius' Giraud created a set of images and early digital animations in Aegis Animator using his daughter's Commodore #amiga. The floppy disks have finally been recovered and the art will be exhibited in Spain this April: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A-oaZ3OO-0
@blacksheep Das FidoNet gibt es immer noch. Eine hohe Telefonrechnung werde ich nie haben. Als Mailboxen ihre Hochzeit hatten war ich noch nicht geplant. Ich bin sehr dankbar für das Revival.

I never had a sampler back then and now just couldn’t resist picking this Master Sound up. The sound quality of these cheap samplers are still surprisingly good! #amiga #amigamusic #sampler #retromusic #retrosoftware
#DailyRetroGame 77: Wizball (1986)
With its trippy intro, psychedelic bonus round and compelling blasting/collecting action, Wizball was a C64 classic, perfectly utilising the breadbin’s clout.
It’s also a mid-1980s conversion disaster case study. On #CPC, it’s flip-screen. The #Amiga version’s robbed of ambience and nuanced attack patterns. And the CGA take is an abomination to never speak of again. Stick with the original.
Play it on: #C64
Sweet dreams are made of this.

Hi there, #pixelart people. As some of you know, I am working on a tool called Retro Painter for MacOS x64 and Apple Silicon.
The tool features some basic drawing tools, many different modes, importing of #koala painter, a font-editor, basic animation... You can draw in most PC-modes up to MCGA, #Amiga, #c64 and #zxspectrum.
I just uploaded version 0.1.0 to itch: https://foodsnacker.itch.io/retro-painter
Any feedback or art, fonts, mod-files welcome and appreciated 🙂

•Amiga 4000 Coin Cell Adapter
Both from http://www.amiga68k.com #retro #amiga #amiga4000 #ide #expansion #battery #commodore
@sos besides the many good recommendations here you can follow hashtags too! Tags like #retrocomputing #gamedev have hundreds of posts per week, if that's too much you can narrow it down to specific hardware or topics (I follow #amiga and #demoscene for example).
The tech demos on old machines people are churning out are just incredible, a HAM mode 3D engine on the #Amiga? This fast? So fast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QzU89LVMHA
I was looking for a paint program or pixel art tool for MacOS with support for the Amiga IFF/ILBM image format. It turns out it's not an easy task. The only one I found so far is GrafX2, which has a mac port. It resembles Brilliance and does the job very well.
It still works! #Amiga Admittedly been a year since I last had it on. Bought in 1992 as a "developer" machine for a developer price, back when I worked at #DMADesign
Software peaked with Directory Opus on the #Amiga.
I want to write a clone for modern systems but (a) DOpus isn’t gonna work as a console app so it would need to be a GUI and (b) I’m really bad at GUI programming and (c) cross-platform GUIs seem to be not very much fun.
I’m wondering if terminal mouse tracking would be enough to get it 90% of the way there. Madness. Madness.
TONIGHT 8pm GMT: Part 5 of my #Twitch series, streaming every coverdisk from #Amiga Power magazine. We're up to issue 14 from June 1992, and playing demos of Aquaventura and Legend (two games I don't know much about). Plus lots of other delights to follow.
Join me over at https://twitch.tv/NAG_Graham for an adventure in playable demos past - do feel free to drop in and say hello! If you want.
BBSindex will meet the Eventcoordinator in April to gather more information about the Amiga 38. #retro #amiga38 #amiga37 #amiga34 #amiga32 #amiga30 #amiga #a1k #commodore http://bbsindex.de/mobil/index_en.php
In December 1991 I made an animated Xmas greeting together with the Dutch comic creator Wilbert Plijnaar (who later moved to the US as a storyboarder for Ice Age and several other animation productions).
We used the Deluxe Paint (DPaint) pixel editor on a Commodore Amiga to create the animation, and sent it to friends and relatives on VHS videotapes.

Title screen, menus and all the main gameplay loops in place now. Level complete not shown, but you get the idea.
The big missing parts now are the inter-level upgrade shop, CD32 controller mode, and sound. Gameplay is missing a few bits and needs a lot of tuning, but it works at least.
Because I have the rest of the week off it is technically #FollowFriday for me:

#DailyRetroGame 70: Elite (1984)
‘Ambitious’ doesn’t cut it when talking about a space game that packed 3D combat and interstellar trading across massive procedurally generated galaxies – and all in just 32k. Initially confusing publishers (one rejected the game and said it needed a lives system), #Elite became a huge hit, and reframed what home micro games could be.
Play it on: #BBCMicro with @markmoxon fix: https://mastodon.social/@markmoxon@universeodon.com/109909447282249931 or #Amiga
I haven't yet finished playing #VirtuaVerse, but an #Amiga 500 #demo is integral to the plot, and I don't think any more needs to be said. Play it in the classic mode, not the new "story mode". You'll probably need a walkthrough to get through some parts, but the puzzles are a lot of fun.
It's on sale for $2.99 right now on #Gog.

@paulrickards I'm impressed! But then, the #Amiga never stops to surprise me!
I'm doing a bit of cleanup on my timeline and I'm looking for cool accounts to follow 📰 🐇
Please recommend me some people (you can recommend yourself too!) from #retrocomputing, #electronics, #amiga, #demoscene spheres who are doing interesting stuff, not matter how small and niche.
I want to center my feed around people are who *doing* and *creating*, rather then "e-bay hoarders" who just buy stuff for the sake of buying it, showing off on social media and then putting it in storage forever.
Macs have #Marchintosh, what should #Amiga have?
Test run of one level, with the status bar in place now.
The two cards fit together snuggly and just barely fit inside the CDTV expansion slot. Power is tapped from the CDTV SCSI card. I used Kapton tape on the back just in case. And it worked, first try! Only trick is removing the card so I threaded some loose cable around the 50 pin connector to pull the card out.
#RetroComputing #VintageComputing #AmigaCDTV #Amiga #BlueSCSI
Decided today to try something I’ve thought about since the #BlueSCSI came out: turn the BlueSCSI into a backpack card for the #Amiga CDTV SCSI card. After trying some test fits for clearance, I moved most components to the opposite side of the board. I used a female header for SCSI on the back of the card.
It’s the #Amiga Juggler on #CDTV! #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #AmigaCDTV
Life has been pretty crazy ever since I got back from #AmigaIreland , but now that my exams are over, I finally have time to post something.
Here are the two previously unrevealed #retrogame costumes I wore at the event. The left one is Bubby from Rainbow Islands ( #Amiga version, as usual), and on the right is my female version of Lester from Another World. As much as I prefer complicated, detailed #cosplay , it's sometimes nice to tackle a project that doesn't take many months to finish.
Updated my #BlueSCSI 1.0 units to the latest firmware yesterday and happy to report they seem to now work in the #Amiga CDTV! #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #AmigaCDTV
Yesterday was spent setting up #Amiga stuff for OLL XP at the Forum, #Norwich this weekend. Even during setup we had lots of interested people wander over for a game and a chat!
There's loads going on this weekend so come and check out this FREE event today (9am-5pm) and tomorrow (10am-4pm). It's going to be a lot of fun!
"Four Byte Burger" by Jack Haeger, created on an Amiga 1000 in 1985.
The paint program was so early in development that it did not have a save feature -- the image does not exist digitally, this is a scanned photgraph.

Started work on the final room entry and boss fight. There's only going to be one type of boss fight in this version, just getting harder as you progress.
Ah...
Does anyone else get that feeling that they want to play some games or tinker about on an old computer but are so mentally exhausted that they just stare blankly at nothing before passing out?
Just me?
I want to play Lionheart on #Amiga but my mind just can't bring me to do it.

Redoing my #introduction due to changes since the last one:
I run bladerunner.social, a small instance for friends. On fedi for >5 years. Into #retrocomputing, #solarpunk, #minidisc, #amiga, #amateurradio, #economics, #history and #mutualaid.
I'm currently researching machine learning, data analysis and capital markets. Very interested in poking holes in capitalism to create non-capitalist spaces.
Inspirations include Le Guin, Sankara, Miyazaki, Roddenberry, Fisher, Graeber, and the Smurfs
"It was the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War...."
Though it was only used early on in #Babylon5's production, the Commodore #Amiga is part of its heritage. And the demoscene produced some cool slideshows featuring stills and renders.
These were snapped from 'Babylon 5 Slideshow (AGA)' Sadeness.' and I'm pretty sure I downloaded the image from TurriFTP.

#DailyRetroGame 56: Turrican II (1991)
Manfred Trenz was clearly some kind of wizard turned programmer, given what he managed to eke out of the C64. This second Turrican game featured colossal enemies and lightning-fast shoot ’em up sections with buckets of parallax scrolling.
The Amiga version’s perhaps most well-known, but Trenz says the C64 game was the original – and that’s the one I always favoured.
