What is it about a computer that was introduced 36 years ago by a company that would be defunct 12 years later that engenders such passion that people still collect it to this day? Were talking about the Commodore 64, of course, the iconic 8-bit wonder that along with the other offerings from Commodore International served as the first real computer to millions of us. Theres more to the passion that Commodore aficionados exhibit than just plain nostalgia, though, and a new documentary film, The Commodore Story, seeks to explore both the meteoric rise and fall of Commodore International. Judging from the official trailer below, this is a film anyone with the slightest interest in Commodore is not going to want to miss. |

Programs come and go. Theyll get updated, see revisions, and eventually may end up being discontinued entirely. And given how long Commodore Amiga has been around, there are plenty of programs that once saw the limelight on our favorite computer platform, but have since fallen out of favor. Lets take a trip down memory lane with these beloved but forgotten Commodore Amiga programs. |

{youtube} Winner of the Outline demo party 2023 wild competition. I recreated the Amiga classic 1986 ray-traced 'Juggler' animation, by making a custom ray-tracing shader, that traces directly to a Looking Glass Portrait holographic light field display, with sub-pixel accuracy. This works in conjunction with separate code that I wrote, to recreate the character and globe animations in real-time. {By Milan Poll. The author of Candy Factory} |

In the distant 1990, a 3D modelling, animation and raytacing package was released to the world: Lightwave 3D it was originally running on Amigas with the Video Toaster card, but later became available as a standalone software package as well. It went on to become available to other platforms besides the Amiga as well (which had the last release with v5.0r), being used in multiple Hollywood productions and independent films, and is still around today. But were interested in the Amiga version here, and specifically what we can do with it today. Yes, were a weird bunch of people, I know |

We've been using the AD516 card manufactured by Sunrize Industries for all of our recording work here at EMRL since 1996. At that point, it was already out of date, with Sunrize having stopped production and closed up shop in 1994, shortly after Commodore went bankrupt. Why would we choose to use this outdated hardware/software combo? Firstly, the hardware sounds quite good, and it's expandable, allowing up to 4 cards in the same machine! We currently have three of them installed in our A2000T. |

If you are a dabbler in DOS gaming and prefer to use a CRT instead of a modern "flat panel" LCD/LED, you might be looking for a good all-rounder CRT that supports the full frequency range employed by Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA and SVGA. In addition, these monitors will also support both digital and analogue RGB inputs, since all PC video standards prior to VGA were digital. |

Ive been reading a lot about modern TFT monitors that are compatible with the infamous horizontal frequency of 15.6KHz that the native Amiga outputs. This has not been an easy task to find and most of the models are old and not sold anymore. A friend of mine told me about a Philips IPS TFT that supported this frequency, even if the specification did not specify it. This monitor displays the Amiga native mode without any problem at all. You only need a DB23 to DB15 VGA converter and you are ready to go. I tested both LowRes, HiRes in PAL and NTSC without any problem at all and the screen did not have any flicker at all. But it did not like LACED mode at all, you had an even more annoying flicker than you had in the old days when you tried to use LACED on a non-LACED mode monitor. You can choose between 16:10 and 4:3 ratio and it actually works good. It centered perfectly each time I changed and I did not need to modify any settings. |

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) A 30-year-old computer that has run day and night for decades is what controls the heat and air conditioning at 19 Grand Rapids Public Schools. The Commodore Amiga was new to GRPS in the early 1980s and it has been working tirelessly ever since. GRPS Maintenance Supervisor Tim Hopkins said that the computer was purchased with money from an energy bond in the 1980s. It replaced a computer that was about the size of a refrigerator. The computer is responsible for turning the heat and the air conditioners on and off for 19 school buildings. |

Games That Werent has been running for a quarter of a century this year, which is not only staggering, but also a bit scary if Im honest. For 25 years, we have been documenting and preserving as much unreleased software as we can for a variety of platforms. Though it all began with just the Commodore 64 at the start, the machine I grew up with and still play today. |

Perhaps one of the greatest strategy games of the 16-bit era, The Settlers, did not get a sequel on Amiga. So, when The Settlers II came out in 1996, only MS-DOS and Mac OS enjoyed it. Aside from a release for Nintendo Wii in 2007, it didnt land on any other platforms. So, what about the Amiga? Well, amazing news has just dropped: The Settlers II Gold Edition (the 1997 edition) is coming to the Amiga in October 2025. |

This is a simple 2MB RAM expansion as others have done for the A570. It is simply an implementation of the Commodore schematics. People have done these before but frustratingly I couldn't find any gerbers to make my own, hence this implementation. |

In preparation of receiving the first Amiga 500 for my retro-computer collection, which sadly didn't come with an A501 RAM expansion, I decided to make my own memory expansion board for it. Keeping with the "using whatever I happen to have in my hardware bin" theme, I decided to use 30pin SIMMs in this. I had to use at least two modules, since each SIMM is 8bit wide and we have a 16bit bus to populate. |

The Pioneering Invention that Changed Music Forever. It all started with a Bach Chorale. In 1985, computers with fairly sophisticated sound chips were available to the home user. The Commodore 64's SID chip squelched it's way into our hearts, and Yamaha's CX5M - replete with polyphonic 4OP FM synthesis, certainly raised a few eyebrows. Sampling, however, was another matter entirely. The older Micros could play a train of pulse clicks at lightning speed - the result? A sample that was fairly crusty (1-bit) and taxed the CPU considerably. |

In my recent post about Amigas not being convoluted, incomprehensible, or frustrating here. I learned by posting on social media that there are people thinking that AmigaOS is just the basic releases that Commodore and ESCOM made. That scares me when they also use AmigaOS from time to time. Its as if the operating system never improved. Well, they are not going to stop me, because theres more than meets the eye. |

In this short article Im going to show you different ways that upcoming 64-bit version Odyssey 2.0 can execute JavaScript code and performance implications of these choices. Some of the results are quite interesting, coming very close to modern-day (October 2024) Firefox performance. This is especially important taking into account that Odyssey 2.0 WebKit engine has been released in February 2019. |

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, when the Amiga was relevant as a technical revolution, I was never able to lay my hands on anything beyond an 68000 with 7.14MHz. Years later, around 1997, I acquired an Amiga 3000 with 25MHz as part of one of my university side gigs of porting software from various UNIXes (in this case SCO Unix) to Linux. But a 040 or even 060 was far out of reach until I was well into my first full time job at SUSE Linux when I got a Cyberstorm MK1 that as we know doesnt fit into the A3000. Long story short, the first time I actually ever ran an Amiga with something faster than the 68030 @ 25 was around . Christmas 2019. |

The one thing that is more rare than 68060 CPUs is Amiga accelerator boards for the 68060 CPUs (especially those with RAM). But there's help in sight: If you are a patient person and don't have two left (or right) hands when touching a soldering iron, you can make your own adapter. I made one of these a few months back that worked out of the box. Since then I have struggled to make another one that works. Until now, with a new and improved design (with fill zones and GND, yay!) |

This is a turbocard for for Amiga A3000 and A4000(T) with up to 128MB SDRAM, an 68060CPU running at 50/75/100MHz even a 68040 on 25MHz. The RAM is in the Amiga CPU-ram space and therefore autodetect. The RAM can handle move16-bursts and DMA from the Amiga. One nice feature is the LTC2990-voltage and temperature monitor, which can be accessed via an IC board, e.g. IcyBoard. For now the card does NOT support vectored interrupts. There is no known card around, which needs it. The A4091 is supported! In a A4000T the Picasso 4 needs active bus termination, because of weak signal quality of the A4000T-Zorroplane. The A3000T is very picky and I couldn't test it, because I don't have one. It SHOULD work, but don't blame me if it doesn't! Even the A3640 is hardly working in an A3000T :( DISCLAIMER!!!! THIS IS A HOBBYIST PROJECT! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF IT DOESN'T WORK OR DESTROYS YOUR VALUABLE DATA/HARDWARE! |

Idea for the 8bit2amiga project was born at the end of the 90's. When I was 14-15 I wrote my first Henry's House game room on Amiga. In 90's transferring graphics from Atari to Amiga was not as easy as it is today. Of course, the source code and that little work were lost for over 20 years, but a few months ago on the AOZ.Studio newsgroup an idea came up to write such a port. And so I completed the first room of Henry's House years later. More rooms will be released soon. If there is interest from you after Henry, I will start another 8-bit computer game. |

Today in Tedium: The difference between being a fan that simply likes something and one that wants to keep that thing alive is a massive gulf. {...} But recently, Christian Peri Fractic Simpson, a retro-tech YouTuber, decided to do just that, revealing that he and some business partners were interested in taking over the Commodore brand. I was curiousso I reached out. Via fax. And once we connected via 21st century technology, I found a highly passionate guy who decided to follow through on a dream. Todays Tedium discusses the prospect of a Commodore megafan running a legendary computer brand. |

Users of Amiga OS4.1 will be aware that running the vast majority their classic games is done through emulation via E-UAE (Experimental Universal Amiga Emulator) and that this process is facilitated by the excellent RuninUAE program which allows you to run a game from the OS4.1 desktop without the need to set up any configuration files within the emulator. For the purposes of todays blog, I will take a look at updating these programs on an X5000 machine whilst also taking the opportunity to update the Workbench environment in E-UAE from Amiga OS3.1 which comes as standard to Amiga OS3.9. I will also take a look at optimising the configuation files so that software designed for a 68030/40 processor or extra memory will run in classic mode and I will also look at creating a better resolution in classic mode through the use of Picasso 96 screenmodes. |

My first love was a black wedge. It was 1982, and I had saved up to buy a Sinclair ZX81. That little computer remains the only one of the huge number that I have owned over the years about which I can truly say that I understood its workings completely; while I know how the i7 laptop on which this is being written works I can only say so in a loose way as it is an immensely complex device. |

amiwm is an X window manager that tries to make your display look and feel like an Amiga Workbench screen. It is fully functional and can do all the usual window manager stuff, like moving and resizing windows. The purpose of amiwm is to make life more pleasant for Amiga-freaks like myself who has/wants to use UNIX workstations once in a while. It can also be used on the Amiga with the AmiWin X server, although this part needs some more work. This fork of AmiWM basically adds the AmigaDOS 1.x look to AmiWM. Traditionally, AmiWM has just an AmigaDOS 2.x appearance that looks like this. However, with this update, and this .amiwmrc it can look ike this: |

A few months after the first release of the Atari ST, the Amiga 1000 was released. This system is still legendary, and it very obviously deserves the legend: essentially every technology on that list shipped with the system out of the gate, in mid-1985, and continued from there. {...} That was not all the Amiga did, though. It was also the first consumer-level operating system with true multitasking of any kindallowing arbitrary processes to coexist throughout memory, with truly relocatable and sharable code modulesand it did this with modern pre-emptive multitasking, a feat that Microsoft would not match until 1995 and Apple would not match until 2001. |

It should be evident to anyone viewing this website that I have a bit of a vintage computer obsession. And regular readers whove been paying attention over the past year and a half or so likely know that my other obsession is the space exploration game No Mans Sky. After watching an episode of The Guru Meditation (YouTube channel) the other day I got a nifty idea for combining the two and sharing the results with anyone whod care to see. |

October 26, 2014. Greetings, Some of you may know that AmiWest (an Amiga event) is currently being held in Sacramento, California. I have not followed the event as closely as usual this year, but will catch up on the news today. I did, however, read that A-EON Technology and AmigaKit bought another Amiga orientated discussion forum, namely Amigaworld.net. |

I have written a program called ADF Sender Terminal, which should make it easy to get your ADF files back to your Amiga or from Amiga to PC. Since V1.2 both directions are possible. Transwarp allows a baudrate up to 115200 from Amiga to PC. V 1.3 and higher can send single tracks. This progarm is useful for Amiga Computers with little RAM (512k,1MB) System requirements: 32Bit Windows (e.g.: 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) |

This project aims to re-create the original Rejuvenator, and eventually improve on the original design. Schematics and board artwork are complete, and have been fabricated and tested. Several design errors on the original Rejuvenator which required bodge wires and trace cuts to rectify have been identified and eliminated in the new design. |

On June 29, 2023, A-EON Technology released a long-awaited and much-delayed message: Production of the A1222+ has begun. It had been almost ten years since the first mention of Tabor development. But the A1222+ is finally with us. This article is a review of the new addition to the NG Amiga family, and it also finally features what many users have been waiting for, a comparison of the A1222+ with the Sam460LE. |

So, the hardware is installed, and I've successfully booted from the Emergency USB recovery stick. What now? Partitioning the SSD drive of course. Now this may sound like a simple task and, in general, it is. The most difficult part is deciding how many partitions, what they will be used for, and how big each one should be. |

The A2320 is a video deinterlacer board originally designed for the A2000. It is essentially the motherboard deinterlacer circuitry from the A3000 on a board. Based on the Amber chip used in the A3000, the board is often referred to as the Amber board. Physically, the board is built to fit into the video slot of an A2000. Electronically, it works fine in an A4000. |

Theory of operation. The A3000 flicker fixer consists of two parts. The scan doubler which converts the 15kHz video signal to 31kHz, and the flicker fixer that converts interlaced Amiga screen modes to progressive 31kHz ones. So the flicker fixer is essentially only active in interlaced screen modes. |

The Commodore A3640 is a very simple 68040 accelerator for the Amiga 3000 and 4000 made only to be low priced. So no memory onboard etc. BUT as they also populated the card with 3 electrolyte capacitors with the wrong polarity, many of them have died due to leakage. The most common problem is that there are a via that have gone bad due to the leakage. And I have been annoyed that it is kind of hard to follow traces. So last summer. I did the painful thing of finding 2 scanned pictures of a bare A3640 board and in paint.net I followed every single trace and documented it. |

It includes all the Zorro slots and also include a VGA 15khz output connector to use with a VGA metal bracket. The ISA ports has been removed from the design. Some new options has beed added on the new version 1.2 This work great on all the Amiga 4000 revisions, except of course the A4000T. |

This is a replica Printed Circuit Board (PCB) from the Commodore Amiga A500+ computer. This board is based on the last A500+ board that was produced by Commodore (Model 8A). The board was created to allow Amiga A500+ computers that had damaged or faulty PCBs to be successfully repaired. This can be achieved by moving all components from an original damaged board to the replica board. Some parts can also be replaced by modern alternatives. |

This project contains the material related to a custom Commodore Amiga Mechanical Keyboard. While the initial development target was the iconic Amiga 500, the keyboard also fits in A3000/A4000 (maybe also A2000) external keyboard enclosures. It features the ability to mount Mitsumi or Cherry switches. The Power, Drive and Caps-Lock LEDs are implemented as 7 individually configurable RGB LEDs. LED configuration is provided by an AmigaOS program that talks to the Keyboard over the regular connection. Headers for two additional low active input sources (e.g. HDD, Network) are also present. |

So in my overall quest to understand more about the Commodore Amiga 500, I decided just recently to take on a new project. I want to build a replacement A501 512K memory expansion trapdoor card. Not a sidecar memory expansion. Not even a 1MB version or larger version(yet). Just a straight-up simple A501 replacement. |

ROM update, no external PSU. The Commodore A590 is quite an interesting harddrive. It comes along with actually two controllers. One of them is for cheap XT harddrives (mine came with one, non-working of course). The other controller is a classic SCSI controller that provides internal and external ports. Furthermore, the A590 can host up to 2 MB DRAM (256k x 4 chips). Luckily for me, I was able to obtain 8 of these chips (in exchange for a genuine MC68000P8). This way, I could double the available RAM for this particular Amiga of mine. |

The A600 Junior motherboard has some very useful improvements compared to the original Amiga 600 motherboard. One such improvement is a bunch of through-holes under where the RF modulator usually goes (and can indeed go, if you're that way inclined) that provide all the signals required by RGB to HDMI adapter boards, and also 5V and GND for power |

Here I will try to collect different hardware problems and their solutions. This is a never to be finished page and have no idea whatsoever if this is a good media to do it. But. ok lets try. ok? Some fixes and troubleshooting will require you to have spares, oscilloscopes, hot air station, solder station etc. and know how to use it. if not: let someone who got the knowledge/stuff to do it. |

NetBSD/amiga is the port of NetBSD to the Amiga line of personal computers by Commodore and [Amiga International] and to the DraCo by MacroSystem GmbH. Development activity on NetBSD/amiga continues at a speed dependent on people's spare time. Currently, NetBSD/amiga runs on any Amiga [1] that has a Motorola 68020 or better CPU with some form of MMU, and on 68060 DraCos. For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required. 68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment. |

NetBSD/amigappc is a very experimental port to the PowerPC-based Amiga expansion boards as manufactured by Phase 5. Supported peripheral devices will basically be the same as with NetBSD/amiga. Currently, we do not plan to create any binary release, but development will continue and is in fact, easier, now that cross-compilation of the base system is supported within NetBSD-current. |

Game engine / framework / support library written totally in C for classic Amiga hardware. Lightweight, flexible and hackable. ACE uses Amiga hardware features directly, aiming for as much speed as possible. The code is OS-friendly, allowing running from and exiting to Workbench gracefully. Current feature set is OCS-oriented, although produced code should work on AGA just fine. |

In this article series well be looking at emulating the Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS/early Windows era IBM PC compatibles with period-correct graphics (and maybe a few other classic machines, who knows?). What do I mean by period-correctness? Its quite simplethe emulated graphics should look as close as possible to the output of CRT displays used with these computers back in the 80s and 90s. |

The break off part of the PIV must be removed to use this in place off it! The design isn't proven yet but was created from the original schematics and PCB layout. |

A couple of months ago, I bought a cheap, used Commodore 1901 monitor[1] from Tradera. The Commodore 1901 has digital RGBi input using D-SUB 9 connector, as well as separate Luminance and Chrominance inputs via RCA jacks (which is the same signal as S-Video, just different connectors). I thought this would be a good monitor for my old Bondwell Model 8 computer, which only has CGA output (and probably deserves a post of its own). It would probably also work with my Commodore 64. The Commodore 1901 also has a built-in speaker, that connects with yet another RCA plug, so I wouldnt even need a separate speaker. |

A Rust library and command-line tool for managing ADF (Amiga Disk File) files. While working on cross-development for the Amiga, I needed a way to manage ADF files. Existing libraries weren't written in Rust, which was my preferred language for tool development. Thus, I decided to create a Rust-based library for managing ADF files. The library is still in its early stages and is not yet feature-complete or extensively tested. |

Amiga Disk File library. The ADFlib is a free, portable and open implementation of the Amiga filesystem. The main purpose of the library is to allow read and write Amiga-formatted devices and files being byte-level copies of such devices, called disk images or dumps. In case of classic Amiga systems, such files are most often ADFs or HDFs ("Hard Disk Files") containing OFS or FFS (there are also other Amiga filesystems, for instance PFS). |

A very early sign that computing was changing the world we lived in, the Video Toaster was a $2500 card and software package for the Amiga 2000 that totally revolutionized TV. These were bragging rights computers back in the 90s. This tour of Video Toaster by an owner who long dreamed of having his own Amiga is great. Back in the mid90s, everyone had ONE friend with Video Toaster. I remember driving miles to get time on the Toaster in my social circles. Those screen transitions are legendary, and when I see them in old videos I instantly know. |

Overview. GABlaster is a video player for the Amiga Commodore computer. It uses a customized version of the CDXL format supporting the AGA chipset with 24 bit colors and variable length frames. Customized CDXL files can be generated with AGAConv. AGABlaster is written in 68K Assembly and runs on native Amiga hardware (no gfx card or sound card required). It is currently in alpha testing stage. |

This is a retro computing just-for-fun project. AGAConv is a CDXL video converter for Commodore-Amiga computers. It combines some existing tools to convert videos (MP4, etc.) into the CDXL format which can be played with AGABlaster or other CDXL players on an AGA Commodore-Amiga computer. The first Commodore-Amiga computer with the AGA chipset was released in 1992. Commodore went bankrupt in April 1994. The CDXL format was created by Commodore primarily for the Commodore CDTV, released 1991, to permit playback of video from CD-ROM in the early 1990s. The CDXL format is a simple streaming format, consisting of linear concatenated chunks (packets), each with an uncompressed frame and associated audio data. In addition to the original 12-bit colors, AGAConv also supports 24-bit colors, as supported by Commodore Amiga AGA systems released in 1992+. It also ensures 32-bit padding of CDXL chunks, which can make a difference in video frame rate of up to 50%. |

A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This is a tool for reverse engineering Amiga 680x0 software. It allows binaries to be disassembled and investigated. The primary goal of this project is to provide a graphical user interface on top of the excellent ira reassembler to accelerate the workflow. Aira Force implements reassembly using the ira disassembler and the vasm assembler. Ira transforms the source executable or raw binary into assembly language source code, then vasm assembles the source code. The output binary should be identical (or equivalent) to the input binary. |

This repo contains a compileable version of the Alien Breed 3D II source. It produces executables that can run the original game's data. This repo is based on and still contains the original source release of TKG. The original code is very messy, apparently containing multiple versions of the source (the was code base handled by one man without source control). It looks like as if TKG was grown out of the AB3D source. |

ALS stands for AMOS Layers System, as it turns the screens of AMOS Professional into layers that can be laid over one another, with complete control of order, colors and opaqueness, while keeping them renderable as usual. It is easy, requires little knowledge of the Amiga graphics hardware, does not need installation, does not depend on third-party extensions and comes as a collection of variables, arrays and procedures written in fully commented AMOS code - it can be thought of as an AMOS source-level library. |

While Id planned to do a 3 part blog series about the FPGA projects that users have or are making, I thought Id go ahead and make this post about one amazing project I just learned about today: 68040->68060 socket adapters. Ive found out about 2 related projects, probably derived from the same set of research, to turn 68040 accelerators into 68060 accelerators. The first I found out about was for the WarpEngine 68040 accelerator. The other was for the far more common Commodore A3640. |

This site contains cheats, level codes, solves, etc, for Amiga Classic computer games. While some of the games herein are also available for other systems (MS-DOS, Windoze, Mac, etc.) the cheats for those versions may be different than the ones listed here. This site is the result of a collection i started in 1986. A lot of the cheats are old and i don't remember where i got them. My main sources have been magazines, local BBS's, working them out myself, newsgroups, fido net, and more recently contributors. To find out more about the author of this site goto www.trep4.com. |

VSTi 8-bit Sampler inspired by the sound of the famous Commodore Amiga for Windows/MacOS/Linux using VST3/AU/LV2. The Ami Sampler brings that feel and that sound into the modern world of Digital Audio Workstations. Obviously heavily inspired by the Amiga, as well as Protracker and Fasttracker, it also draws inspiration from last trackers like Triton's Fasttracker II and Milkytracker in addition to some modern sampler VST plugins. While in no way an emulator nor a recreation of the limitations that the late 80s software had, the Ami Sampler strives to take the classic sound of the Amiga but still allow it to stand up with a modern DAW setting. |

AMI*RGB2VGA is a functional replacement / alternative to the 390682-01/03 VGA dongle which came with A4000. This adaptor is also knows as "synch dongle" because it does not process rgb analog signals in any way, passing them unchanged fron the Amiga db23 video port to the vga monitor input. A zillion of similar solutions exist, being the circuit trivially simple; what it makes AMI*RGB2VGA different from others is the capability of hosting up to four different buffer chips, each one of them behaving in a subtle different manner towards the final video render appearance on modern lcd monitors. Users can populate the board with any of the chips, activate the one which offers the best video quality according their personal taste, and change it at any time with great ease. |

Amiberry is an optimized Amiga emulator, for ARM32, ARM64, x86_64 (macOS and Linux) and RISC-V platforms. The core emulation comes from WinUAE, and the main GUI is designed to look similar to that. However, not all WinUAE features are implemented, as Amiberry tries to achieve a balance between good performance on low-powered hardware and emulation accuracy. It includes JIT support, to get high-performance results on CPU-intensive emulated environments, like desktop applications. On top of that, there are some unique features developed specifically for Amiberry, such as the WHDLoad booter, support for RetroArch controller mapping, and several more. |

{Homepage for AmiBlitz3} AMIBLITZ3 is a free development environment for AmigaOS3.x and compatible. To explain what AMIBLITZ3 is all about, you have to start with BlitzBasic. BlitzBasic, later BlitzBasic2, is an extensive and somewhat idiosyncratic basic dialect originally developed by Acidsoft and Red When Excited (RWE) for the Amiga. Despite the popularity it achieved in the 90s, after the Commodore bankruptcy and the subsequent decline of the Amiga market, Acidsoft was forced to stop developing BlitzBacic2 on the Amiga and devote itself exclusively to a version for Windows PCs. |

The goal of AmiBootEnv is to turn a PC into an Amiga, as simply and completely as practicable. {...} AmiBootEnv's goal differs in that it is mainly focussed on providing a base (emulated) system on which to install and run your virtual Amiga(s). Consider it more as the machine itself, not the software. AmiBootEnv was inspired by the rEFInd boot manager, Rob Smith's amazing FloppyBridge and my own obsession with putting an Amiga on everything. |

AmiDeb is a bare Linux install with just enough to run FS-UAE. It is NOT Amilator, but is based on the ideas of Amilator. At the end of the installation of AmiDeb you have a real Debian Linux system, with the benefit of being able to update and customize the system. (Unlike Amilator). Ruining a Text based front end, FS-UAE is then launched for your Amiga experience. |

Welcome. The old amiexpress.co.uk site disappeared because the domain name expired. I am not sure if the original owner lost interest or forgot, but at the same time I was renewing my own in retro computing. Out of love for the great BBS and the old scene days, I started the task of building a website in support of the old bbs. This is a labor of love and in hopes of bring back some old-schoolers and sparking interest in the new generation. A big thank you to the original creator, developers , sysops and door programmers of Amiexpress. AmiExpress was originally written by Michael Thomas of Synthetic Technologies and later sold to Joseph Hodge of Lightspeed Technologies. |

The main goal of the AmiFox browser for Classic Amiga will give its users a way of browsing the web. Web browsers such as iBrowse, Aweb, and NetSurf demand lots of horsepower. Especially NetSurf which does have CSS support. The AmiFox browser for the Classic Amiga aims at eliminating most of the horsepower needed to surf the web by using a server with much more power that can send the webpages you want to visit on any Classic Amiga with 68020 or higher. This means that you can view webpages such as www.cnn.com on your Classic Amiga. AmiFox is a web browser that depends on a server that can push webpages to it in a way that Classic Amiga can view them. In the video above you can see that the project is in its very first alpha version phase. More info to come about AmiFox will be revealed as the progress goes on. |

The Amiga is a family of personal computers introduced by Commodore in 1985. The original model was part of a wave of 16- and 32-bit computers that featured 256 KB or more of RAM, mouse-based GUIs, and significantly improved graphics and audio over 8-bit systems. This wave included the Atari STreleased the same yearApple's Macintosh, and later the Apple IIGS. Based on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor, the Amiga differed from its contemporaries through the inclusion of custom hardware to accelerate graphics and sound, including sprites and a blitter, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS. |

This design is the two and three button versions of the Amiga "pregnant" mouse. I didn't model the cord, but did do the plug. I made it only from pictures I found online, which required a lot of guesswork, so I'd be most grateful if someone who owns one would be willing to give me some measurements. I may eventually 3D print one and put some modern mouse guts into it (have to think about how a mouse wheel would best be integrated...). |

So, what is it? Well, according to lore, the Amiga engineers at Commodore were very interested in the Unix operating system(s), and wanted to bring it to their own machines. Unfortunately, the Motorola 68000 CPU in the Amiga was deemed insufficient, as it lacked the sophisticated MMU required. This, in turn, led to the creation by Commodore of the Amiga A2630 CPU accelerator which contained a 68030 processor and mmu. And this, in turn, led to the creation of the Amiga 2500UX, which is basically an Amiga 2000 with the aforementioned A2630 card and an A2091 SCSI hard drive card with a hard drive containing AMIX. |

This year marks the 30th birthday of the Commodore Amiga, the revolutionary multi media computer released in july 1985. It was a true generational leap in computing, offering a fast CPU, great graphics and sound and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system. It could do things out of the box that many of its rivals struggled to do even years later. Time then to celebrate this amazing machine, which amongst much more important achievements, was the machine (in combination with the Commodore 64) that was largely responsible for my choice of career and all round passion for computers. Yes, without the Amiga I'd likely be doing very different things today! About the Commodore Amiga |

The original Amiga computers, OCS (Original Chip set) and ECS (Enhanced Chip set) used 4 bits per color channel (Red, Green and Blue), which meant that they could display a limited selection of colors (usually 16 or 32) from a total range of 4,096 colors. |

IN CLOSETS all over the country, they lurk ready to strike back. Behind old football trophies, under dirty washing, wedged between long-discarded hockey sticks and Thompson Twins vinyl albums, they wait. The Commodore Amiga is set for a revival if the diehard users who have kept the flame alight for the last few years have their way. The recent acquisition of the Amiga technology by Fortune 500 company Gateway2000 has made Amigans, long the outcasts of the computing world dare to hope. Hope that the system they have devoted so much time and energy to will be resurrected. |

What is AMIX and the Amiga 3000UX? Commodore hoped to capture some of the UNIX market by bringing out their own version of UNIX that would run on their workstations. Commodore's management at the time was thinking ahead and wanting to look very professional on all the levels. Starting with the Amiga 2630 card (that came with the Amiga 2500 computer) Commodore put the ability to 'dual boot' between the AmigaOS and AMIX. This feature was continued with the Amiga 3000 series and featured in the Amiga 3000UX which was the spotlight for Commodore's UNIX push. |

On this day, 39 years ago, on July 23, 1985, Commodore introduced its Amiga 1000 computer. And lets just say the world wasnt ready for it yet. Dave Haynie, a Commodore engineer who worked on the later models, has said there was no such thing as a 1980s computer. There were 1970s computers and 1990s computers, and it was the Amiga that dragged the rest of the industry into the 1990s. |

The Amiga 1080 monitor was the original monitor Commodore supplied with the Amiga 1000 in 1985. Its one of only two monitors that featured the Amiga branding with the Amiga checkmark logo. Its picture quality is very good, but the monitor sometimes behaves oddly. You can fix the odd behavior. Ill tell you how, and I also tracked down the elusive pinout for this monitor. |

I am far from the first person to make a new A1200 LED board. As I built a ReAmiga 1.5 I needed an extra LED board. I could have bought one but making something like this was a pretty good way to end a day of meetings and boring maintenance programming. The original used a rectangular lens with a pair of LEDs at its base. I've seen a single LED illuminating a light pipe, also a line of rectangular LEDs with no light pipe. I decided to try 3D printed light pipes. |

Ive been slowly but surely branching out into Amigas from Commodores 8-bit range of computers, and as such I recently got my hands on my first Commodore Amiga 1200. The A1200 is a 32-bit computer from the 1990s, and is effectively a more capable version of the A600, featuring a 14MHz 68020 CPU (as opposed to an 8MHz 68000), 2MB Chip RAM (as opposed to 1MB) and AGA graphics (as opposed to ECS graphics), and a full-sized keyboard like the A600, it also features an onboard IDE and PCMCIA interface. |

After having Amiga OS 3.1 on the 1200 for a while, I'd decided it was time to upgrade to Amiga OS 3.9. I had instantly realised there was a problem with this; the installation media is on a CD! There was no way I was going digging for an accelerator card with SCSI, or a PCMCIA CD Drive, so I resorted to emulation to get the OS installed. Therefore, henceforth are the steps required to build a compactflash card with a real OS for use on real hardware. Godspeed. |

The project started in the spring 2000 when I bought my Amiga 1200. Previous owner had built it into IBM Aptiva 350 tower case which was functional but not so good looking. First task was to cover the two 5.25" disk bays with white cardboard as the case was missing the lid and add an Amiga sticker on top of IBM logo. Setup at that point was: A1200 motherboard rev 2B Blizzard 1230-IV/50MHz with 16MB RAM Quantum Fireball EL 5GB HDD Hitachi 4x CD-ROM drive |

The Commodore Amiga produces RGB video output @ 15khz. It has the ability to run in a higher resolution mode which causes a crazy amount of flicker when the screen refreshes... I used one of the scalers that are popular with us arcade people to scale the video to drive a VGA monitor. This is pretty well known, really the most limiting part is getting hold of DB-23 connectors.... I was more than impressed by the output from the scaler board, it looks really good. |

The A314 project provides a Raspberry Pi expansion to the Amiga 500 through the trapdoor expansion. Much of the 'magic' is being able to transparently access chip RAM without interfering with the performance of the Amiga itself. However, the Amiga 500 is also the ONLY Amiga model to feature this peculiar expansion interface. This board will add a standard 56-pin "trapdoor" interface to the Amiga 2000 and Amiga 1000 equipped with a Rejuvenator. |

These are referred to as Extended ATX, or, EATX. The length of Zorro II cards and the abundance of components on the Amiga 2000 makes EATX the best choice for this project. |

The plan was to make a fully working A2000 mobo from a scratch, meaning, to get a brand new PCB, solder it all up and make it work. That was my first task, which turned out to be quite easy but also time-consuming. As a bonus, it was also a very relaxing experience. |

{Description translated from DE} The Amiga 2K front panel expands the Amiga 2000 with a panel for the 5.25" slot. This allows an external keyboard switch from the 7-bit A234 to be used internally and fully operated from the outside by plugging a USB keyboard / USB wireless dongle into the top left slot... The USB slot in the middle is used to externally access the RaspberryPi USB port that sits on the PiStorm 2K , so you can easily make files accessible to the Amiga OS... The button in the middle is connected to an HDMI switch and lights up as soon as the HDMI output of the PiStorm is switched to the RGBtoHDMI output. This allows an HDMI monitor to be used comfortably both for the classic HIRES resolution of games but also via the PiStorm you can work with the Workbench up to 4K. The lower slot leads the RaspberryPi's micro SD card to the outside using an extension cable. The space on the left side of the panel is for the later installation of a GoTek Systems USB Drive |

Amiga 3000UX offers SVR4 on an outdated chip without the Amiga PC's capabilities. Commodore is hardly a name you expect to hear bandied about in the UNIX workstation market. Yet, Commodore , positioning its Amiga 3000UX --stocked with UNIX System V Release 4 from AT&T, Open Look, and Ethernet support-- as a niche workstation alternative. Despite the good intentions, Commodore misses the mark with the Amiga 3000UX because of its small, 14-inch color monitor, limited software supply, poor price/performance, and no UNIX-to-DOS utilities. |

You have irreparable damage to the Amiga 4000D board, for example due to a battery damage, but the Amiga custom chips are still working? The solution is the Amiga 4000 Replica project board, with which you can bring your Amiga 4000D back to life. The Amiga 4000 Replica project is an unpopulated black board for restoring an Amiga 4000D in the revision B. This board corresponds to the version of the A4000 Replica Project (Based on the Rev B) from Acill. To be on the safe side, we have not printed the boingballs on the board for licensing reasons. |

As many owners of the Amiga 4000 boards know they contain a battery and several electrolytic capacitors which when age and leak cause severe damage to the motherboard. The goal of this fund raiser is to have the original board converted to schematics and Gerber files. This will allow new boards to be manufactured. The schematics will allow future updates and changes to the design of the board for future enhancements or improvements. |

The original power supply on my Amiga 4000 started having voltage fluctuations which a fresh set of capacitors didn't correct. I wanted to move to a small form factor power supply, but due to the way the power switch is integrated into the original Amiga power supply, it meant either running an external switch or modifying the power switch actuator in a way which I don't think is ideal. An SFF would also cause a large air gap at the back of the case, since they are half the height of the original AT supply. |

My power supply died again. It has been very unreliable for some reason (probably bad caps, or overload), so I finally decided to mod an ATX power supply for the 4K to give it more power and reliability. I based my mod on a mix of 2 other ATX mods: I took the PSU case mod part of this: http://mfilos.blogspot.com/2011/08/a4000-psu-mod.html and the ATX part of the mod from this: http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=7593 which gets you the concoction that I came up below. Its not too bad I think, other than the not-so-straight cut lines. I put links at the end of this post below so you can find everything that I bought for this mod easily. |

Deep dive into Escom's Amiga 4000 Tower. There had never been an Amiga better than Amiga 4000T. The T stands for tower, but this computer did not stand out in Amiga history due to its format factor, as Commodore had already been selling the tower version of A3000. Rather, it was the ultimate Amiga in what many call today the "classic" series, and nothing better or anything else for that matter has ever been produced in the classic Amiga line since this model was released. Let us take a deep dive into what one of the first reviewers in 1994, the year when it was released, called "the mother of all Amigas" and appreciate some of its unique features. |

I presented my Amiga 500 in a previous post. It has only 512 kB of memory, and I would like to expand it to 1 MB. {...} Modifying the Amiga 500 to use the internal 512 kB memory expansion as chip RAM is definitely possible. The best document about it I found on the net is here. The information in the document can also be verified with Amiga 500 motherboard schematics. This requires however some motherboard modifications, but I like to keep my vintage machines in original condition, and do only fully reversible modifications. Cutting traces on the motherboard is definitely not reversible. |

Im having some fun messing around with a few of my old retro computers at the moment and, inspired by EEV Blogs recent teardown and successful boot of a 25 year old Amiga 500 I decided to get my old girl down from the attic and give her a go. Unfortunately my attempts were rather less successful! I was met with the dreaded blinking power LED and a continuous cycle of repeated resets. Drat. What could possibly have gone wrong after a mere quarter of a century? A quick look under the cover revealed the very obvious culprit: Amiga A500+ Battery Leakage |

This Arduino sketch converts an original Amiga 500 keyboard into a USB HID, allowing it to function as a modern USB keyboard. Using an Arduino Leonardo, which supports native USB communication, the sketch reads the Amiga 500 keyboard signals and translates them into USB keystrokes, preserving the vintage feel with modern compatibility. |

There were four major revisions of the Amiga 500 motherboard released, and that matters if you are trying to upgrade them. Fortunately, if you know what to look for, you can quickly distinguish between all four, and you can even identify them without opening the case. Although it is certainly easier to identify them if you can see the entire board. |

I saw this RGBS/VGA to YPbPr adapter on ebay for around $30 and thought I'd try it out. I already had a buffered VGA adapter (bought off ebay also) so I hooked it up with Amiga --> buffered VGA --> RGBS to YPrPb --> component output --> TV. At first, I thought it didn't work because the first TV I tried didn't support the component signals. I got a black screen. But I kept trying different TVs and about half of them would work, and when it worked, the output was absolutely beautiful. The TV deinterlacing was often perfect so you could use interlaced modes without any jitter. |

Got an Amiga 500 plus? Havent removed or replaced the motherboard battery yet? Well if you havent heres the bad news; its got a good chance of having leaked on your motherboard. And if it has, and isnt rectified that battery electrolyte could well eat away at the tracks on the PCB eventually rendering it useless. {...} This short tutorial only covers the removal of the battery, either by breaking away or desoldering. It does not cover the replacement of the original battery with a modern coin battery and holder which can be purchased from the Amiga Kit store. I personally have never found a need to have a clock battery on my A500+ motherboard, therefore removal is all I cover here. |

The power supply of my Amiga 500 is a bit unreliable. Ive had some issues with the machine where the PSU could be the culprit, so I thought that it would be better to get a new power supply. {...} Rather than taking that route, I decided to use a modern PSU. Ian Stedman from the UK has designed an adapter that allows an ATX PSU to be used for powering the Amiga. He sells this adapter for reasonable price of ?10. However, the tricky part is to get the PSU connector. Amiga 500 uses a strange rectangular 5-pin DIN connector. This connector is extremely difficult to source. |

My last post quite a while ago already was about building a new power supply for Amiga 500. In the comments I was contacted by an Amiga owner (or now former Amiga owner) who wanted to donate his Amiga 500 with a broken power supply. Thanks Johan for the donation! {...} In order to get this Amiga back to life, I had three options: fix the power supply, build a new power supply, or buy a new power supply. Yes, new power supplies for Amiga 500 are manufactured again by Electroware! As I had already built a power supply and theres no fun in buying a new one, I decided to repair this one. |

Revitalizing an Amiga 500. While seriously on a retro-trip I thought it to be cool having an Amiga 500 again. I found a well treated machine on EBay that even came along with an original Commodore A590 disk drive. Needless to say, a machine from the 80s might well be in good optical shape but a lot can happen in a time period of nearly 30 years. |

I bought an Amiga 500 as my first computer in 1988. I later sold it and bought Amiga 2000, so this is not the same machine I used to own. Instead, I got this one from a friend in late 1990s for free as it was broken. The problem was easy to fix there were just some broken solder joints in the power supply after it had been dropped. |

This is a kit which will allow you to convert a (preferably non-functional) Commodore Amiga 500 or Commodore Amiga 500+ into a USB keyboard which can be used just like any other USB keyboard. It also includes two joystick ports which allow you to use standard 9 pin Commodore / Atari style joysticks as USB joysticks (for joysticks only, they do not support the Amiga mouse), and two audio jacks to connect to provide rear audio output from a Raspberry Pi or other single board computer. |

NB: In writing this post, I realised it's effectively a mini review of the ZuluSCSI... I own many Commodore Amigas, and most of them actually work. On one of my Amiga 500s, I've been recently trying to get a decent SCSI hard disk drive working via a GVP Impact II A500-HD+ sidecar expansion unit. This expansion unit contains a GVP SCSI controller, an internal 50-pin IDC connector for an internal SCSI drive and a 25-pin D-sub connector on the back for any external SCSI devices I may want to connect. It also has four 30-pin SIMM sockets, which I have populated with four 1MB SIMMs, providing an additional 4MB of FAST RAM to the A500. The GVP is separately powered with its own 12v+5v brick-style PSU more on that later. Here is the Amiga in question on my workbench. The eagle-eyed among you will see where I am going with this post. |

Whilst looking for side-car Amiga A590 Hard drives for the Amiga 500, I found this deisgn at PCBWay of an internal IDE interface. The design seemed pretty straight-forward, but it did have its caveats. The main one was that this device does not Auto-Configure and therefore needs a boot floppy to use it. |

I needed to write a blog post showing different RAM hax/configs on Amiga 500 8A motherboard to serve as a reminder for future Me. When working with my stash of A500s, Ive found two common motherboard revisions 6A and 8A. I will focus on 8A here but some configs can be used in 6A too. The main reason is that 8A mobos are the latest, where 8375 AGNUS was used and it supports up to 2MB of ChipRAM. Also, Ive already described the 6A ChipRAM mod in one of the previous posts. Just to clarify it a bit, Rev.8 was used in A500plus AND in standard A500 but with unpopulated RTC, battery, less RAM, etc. |

Ive been slowly but surely branching out into Amigas from Commodores 8-bit range of computers, but one of the first computers I bought was a Commodore Amiga 500+. This turned out to be a somewhat special unit, with serial number 000657. The A500+ is a 16-bit computer from the 1990s, and is a more capable version of the A500 on which it is based- it features the same 7.16MHz 68000 CPU and full-sized keyboard, but has ECS graphics (as opposed to OCS graphics), 1MB Chip RAM, and a battery-backed RTC. |

This is an adapter board to retrofit a 2MB Agnus into an Amiga 500/2000 and also includes 2MB of chip ram. It is based on LIV2's design but is easier to solder and has been remade in KiCad 6. At present this particular design has only been tested on an Amiga 2000. It should, however, work on Amiga 500s as well, with the caveat that it might get in the way of the keyboard in the revision 5 Amiga 500 (if you try this please let me know). |

Floppy drives have an sensor to detect track zero position which tells the drive the positioning of the first track on the disk(hence all tracks). On some drives it is mounted on the same PCB as the capacitors and removing the PCB will dislocate the adjustment for track 0. If the screw holes for the PCB are elongated (thus allowing for adjustment) then there is a good possibility the track zero sensor is on the PCB. One way to determine bad track zero adjustment is by formatting a disk on that device. It will manage to read and write a disk formatted by itself, trying to read a disk written on another known good drive will fail because the track offsets differ. Adjustment of the zero stop should be done using proper equipment and not by trial and error. .. in other words, (TL;DR) do not touch the track zero sensor adjustment |

The Amiga 600 was one of the last Amigas, and it became a symbol of everything wrong with Commodore and the product line. Retro enthusiasts like it today because of its small size, so its the perfect retro Amiga for today. But it couldnt have been much more wrong for 1992. The Amiga 600 was a cost-reduced Amiga for home use, similar in size and appearance to a Commodore 64. But internally it wasnt much more than a repackaged Amiga 1000 from 1985, trying to compete with VGA graphics and 386 CPUs. |

We had in our possession a broken Commodore Amiga A500 with workbench/kickstart 1.3 roms installed. The amiga was one of my favourite computers from my childhood so I was looking forward to restoring and possibly completing some minor upgrades and making a dream amiga. The first thing we needed to do was repair the Amiga itself and then look at the memory upgrade. |

The GOTEK floppy emulator is hands down the best modification to can make to any Amiga and its easy to forget what a faf sourcing floppies can be these days. This was no more apparent than when we were contacted on Instagram and asked about our State of the Art Christmas decorations. Our fellow Amiga owner was not only intrigued about the beautifully crafted Amiga models but was pining for his own copy of this epic Spaceballs demo. Having not yet opted for a GOTEK I did the right thing and offered to supply a copy for him. Its pretty easy to turn an ADF disk image into a floppy you need the right equipment and software. In this video, we show you how. More information on the Amiga GOTEK can be found here |

Commodore Amiga computers were produced from 1985 until 1994. During the heights of its time Amiga was the leading home computer of western Europe. Models were created in a high-end workstation line, Amiga 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000, and a low-end home line, Amiga 500, 600 and 1200. All models used processors of the Motorola 68000 family, had video and audio chip sets (co-processors), and a graphical operating system with preemptive multitasking and a 32-bit address space. |

Okay, it's 10am UK time on the Sunday after Amiga's announcement at Amiga2K and I've just finished reading all the stuff out there filtering past me from the first day. I can see some people thinking they've just been the victims of an April fool, but I'm pleased to say Amiga haven't projected themselves as fools. {...} Hardware-wise, the Amiga developer system may not seem cutting edge in some places. The idea was to produce a box which was cheap to build and sell, yet powerful enough to be useful. |

Welcome. This is a site about coding on the worldfamous Amiga computer from the '80s. Back in the days when resources on a computer were scarce the Amiga was a shining bright star on the horizon of computers. The Amiga had marvelous colors and sounds, that no other home computer could stand up to. On this site we will be looking at some of the things that coders used to do on their Amigas. The coding examples on this site won't be heavily optimized, as the purpose of the site is mainly to show how to make things happen. Optimizing is possible, but then the code will be a lot harder to read. The only real optimizing practice that will be used quite extensively is pre-calculated tables of values (either as copy-pasted data into the code, or as calc-loops done in the initialization of the code). |

We are happy to invite Amiga game developers from around the world to develop some new games for the Amiga using Blitz Basic or AmiBlitz. The idea behind this jam is to grow the community and increase knowledge and awareness around Amiga and the use of Blitz Basic and AmiBlitz to create games. This means that all submitted games must include the source code so that beginner developers will have examples to study and learn from. Join us no matter your skill level - this game jam is a perfect opportunity to create your very first game, or a side project to your other development activities or a chance to create that game you've been carrying inside you for decades and always wanted to do! Three months of development time should be enough time to produce a playable game, even if you are completely new to Blitz Basic! |

When the Amiga boots, if it encounters a hardware fault the system will display a solid single coloured screen, or a series of these screens if more than one error is detected. The following colours are valid for all versions of AmigaDOS since Kickstart 1.3. However, there were several more colours in 1.3 compared to anything included after Kickstart 2.0 was released. However all of the colours listed below are the same for all versions of Amiga kickstart. In addition to colour screen error codes, Guru Meditation error screens are also a common error screen encountered when an Amiga encounters a problem. These and the meaning behind their error codes will be covered soon. |

This is a Floppy Switcher for the Amiga 500/2000. It allows you to switch DF0/DF1, making it possible to boot from either a Gotek drive or the internal floppy drive. without relying on AmigaOS. This work is a derivative of the Amiga Boot Selector by Jussi Kilpelinen. This redesign puts the pin header for the switch to the side, reducing the footprint of the adapter. The project was mainly born out of the fact that I could not buy a ready-made version of a boot selector in the US (several European sellers bailed out on me). Since I had to order my own PCBs anyway, I decided to optimize the design a bit for my use case. |

Amiga BoXeR. Developer: Access Innovations/Mick Tinker. Announced: 1997. Cancelled: October 2001. The BoXeR represents the ultimate development of a 'pure' Classic Amiga solution since Commodore's liquidation. Unlike other efforts, such as the A5000, it was based upon an entirely new motherboard that attempts to improve Amiga technology through the use of manufacturing techniques unavailable five years previously. This has led to a number of improvements on the basic Amiga design, including 30% speed increase on Chip RAM access and improved Zorro performance. |

A photo of someones newly acquired Amiga 2000 turned up on a vintage computing forum recently. It was sporting two 3.5? drives, but also had a Chinon 5.25? drive in its lower bay. Someone asked what the 5.25-inch drive was for. I responded its a good sign the system has an Amiga Bridgeboard in it. The Bridgeboard turns a big-box Amiga like a 2000 into an odd hybrid Amiga-PC clone. |

This VGA buffered adaptor uses a SN74HCT08PWR to keep the size down (and stay true to the original Commodore design). You will also need a DB23 female solder cup connector and a VGA PCB mount connector (and a capacitor). This is a replacement for the original 390682-01 |

If you want to program on the Amiga, you may need a good Amiga C Programming IDE. But is there any? What are the alternatives? Lets find out. On the Amiga OS or Morph OS there are two fully functional native IDEs: Cube IDE and Storm C 4 IDE. Both can be used with different compilers. Another possibility is to use another operating system (Windows, Linux, MacOS, and others) and the IDEs they provide. To generate an Amiga Executable you then need a Cross Compiler. Lets look at both native IDEs in detail. We will also describe cross compiling. |

The Amiga CD32 console, released in 1993, was Commodores follow-up to the CDTV. Essentially, it was a repackaged Amiga 1200 with a built-in CD-ROM drive and a bespoke 6-button joypad controller. Indeed, by plugging in a keyboard, mouse and floppy drive, you pretty much had a fully functioning A1200. {...} For these reasons, it can be worth emulating the CD32, so I thought Id write a short guide on how to do this using WinUAE. Fortunately, its pretty straightforward and wont take long. |

The great thing about Amigas was they had a flat 32-bit memory architecture from day one. Unlike 16-bit DOS PCs, memory was memoryto an extent. Amigas did have three types of memory. So lets look at Amiga chip RAM vs fast RAM vs slow RAM. Amiga chip RAM was visible to the CPU as well as the sound and video chips. Fast RAM and slow RAM were not, but fast RAM, which sat higher in the CPUs address space, could run programs faster than either slow RAM or chip RA |

This interface has a small 64 kB SRAM memory that is shared between an Amiga and a Raspberry Pi. The Amiga connects to the interface through the clock port. The A314 software has been adapted to this interface so that it is possible to run services such as a314fs and the SANA-II network driver. The software is available as the clockport_if branch in the a314 repository, which is added to this repository as a git submodule. |

The Amiga line of computers, developed by Commodore International, represents one of the most innovative and beloved chapters in computing history. Introduced in the mid-1980s, Amiga systems were far ahead of their time, offering advanced graphics, sound, and multitasking capabilities. Despite their technical brilliance and passionate fanbase, the Amigas story is also one of missed opportunities and corporate mismanagement. In this article, well explore the history of the Amiga computers, from their origins and groundbreaking technology to their cultural impact and legacy. |

While researching a future post about the Copper functionality of the Amigas Agnus custom chip, I decided to really dig in and figure out how the Copper worked and how you would write some of the bare metal custom chip code. The process of making this video made me realize I need to do a few other posts before I can do one about the Copper, as there are a lot of prerequisites to understand it, at least at the level I am now able to understand it at. I also wanted to showcase a lot of the kind of music the Amiga was known for, module music made on music trackers. |

This is an implementation of a SANA-II driver for the Amiga, which allows you to use either a Pico W enabled BlueSCSI V2, or various WiFi equipped ZuluSCSI models to give internet access to the machine! This code is based on the MNT ZZ9000Net driver by Lukas F. Hartmann (which is based on work by Henryk Richter) and also borrows a little from the PlipBox device driver, which has several contributors. |

Before we will dive into code, it's good to get to know the machine we are going to work with. Of course, we would like to be compatible with as many Amiga models as possible. Sure, you may have a maxed-out A1200 with 060 CPU, lots of RAM, and a fancy graphics card, and you can write something that will look nice on your machine, but that's not a setup majority of people have, so they wouldn't be able to experience your awesome production! That's why we are going to target the most classic Amiga possible: the vanilla A500 rocking Kickstart 1.3 and 1MB of ram (512K + 512K trapdoor expansion card). This will give us the possibility to run our code on pretty much anything (sorry, Amiga 1000 ??.?.??). |

WHAT IS "THE DIGITAL UNIVERSE"? "The Digital Universe" is an award-winning astronomical simulator package for the Amiga computer. Since release, it has become the standard software package for the amateur and professional astronomer. With our new lower price, we expect the software to become more accessible to the casual astronomy enthusiast, and to those interested in generally learning more about astronomy. The software will run on any Amiga computer with Workbench 2.04 or greater, at least 3 Mb of memory, and a minimum of 11 Mb of hard drive space (17 Mb of disk space are required for a full installation). Due to the calculation-intensive nature of this software, an accelerated Amiga and math chip (FPU) is strongly recommended, though not required. |

Amiga E is a programming language and compiler I started creating for the Amiga in 91, released publicly in 93, commercially in 94, and released as open source in 97. It was most similar to C++, in the sense that it was fast and weakly typed, and had a rich set of features from procedural, object oriented and functional programming languages. I wrote the entire thing in assembly language, which will always persist in my mind as the craziest software engineering exercise I have ever gone through (400kb of mostly uncommented assembly in a single source file, for a complex compiler). |

As we all know, the Amiga was a marvellous machine that, upon its introduction, brought about a real revolution in all fields: from the fabulous chipset that gave us graphics and sound never seen before in the consumer field, to the extremely fast multitasking OS with a practical and simple graphical interface that relieved us from typing abstruse commands. Unfortunately, Commodore did not know how to capitalise on the incredible technological advantage it had in its hands, and preferred to play it cool by procrastinating its development and evolution for several years, lulled by the enormous distance that the competition of the time was in. |

Lets say you dont have a GoTek drive or Compact Flash card, how on Earth do you transfer data between your Amiga and a PC? In the days before the GoTek there was another go-to tool for transferring data between an Amiga and PC: Amiga Explorer by Cloanto. Using this application it was possible to transfer not only data between the systems but also create Amiga Disk Format (ADF) images from Amiga floppies, apply ADF images to Amiga floppies, and even copy the Amiga Kickstart ROM. In this article Ill run you through how to install and use Amiga Explorer with a standard Amiga 500 (512MB of RAM) connected to a Windows 10 PC using a null-modem cable over the serial ports of each system. |

Theory of operation. This board allow to connect all type of floppy drives to the Amiga external D-Sub 23 floppy connector; Original Amiga "Shugart" drive, Gotek floppy drive emulator, IBM-PC floppy drive (720K and 1.44M). It can operate as DF1, DF2 or DF3, depending on the J4 jumper position. Two mode of operation are possible; Native "Shugart" mode can be selected with J1, J2 and J3 jumper between pin 1 and 2., IBM-PC mode can be selected with J1, J2 and J3 jumper between pin 2 and 3. Onboard logic makes all drive to be seen as 880K standard Amiga floppy drives. |

This project was initially made for the purpose of using an internal Amiga floppy as a secondary drive for copying disks. But later, I added jumpers so that PC floppies can be used too, since these are easy to find. I later also found it useful to have a jumper selector for selecting DF1:, DF2: and DF3: |

Amiga enthusiasts are keeping their fingers crossed now that a German bankruptcy court has accepted an offer by Gateway 2000 to buy the assets of Amiga Technologies, which fell on hard times last year after pioneering multimedia applications for computers. "Amiga has been in limbo for a long time," Dale Larson, president of Intangible Assets Manufacturing, said Friday. "Users of Amiga computers have been tearing their hair out." IAM produces a variety of products for the Amiga platform. "Gateway has a lot of resources and they have a management that understands technology," Larson said. "If they apply these things to Amiga, it can only be a good thing." |

Since a disk drive is by nature a moving part, it is inevitable that it will fail someday. The vast majority of Amiga computers out there are least a decade old (some are nearly 20 years old), and so many users have had the misfortune of their disk drives dying on them. Replacing them is difficult because while Amiga disk drives are for the most part electrically compatible with those used in the Wintels of today, there are slight but vital differences in terms of both signals and pinout. The problem stems mainly from the fact that Commodore used low-density drives throughout the Amiga line up until the Amiga 4000 and 3000T. (After that they made things even worse by switching to custom-made high-density drives that spun at half the speed of a normal high-density floppy drive.) In contrast, low-density drives were quickly phased out of use in the IBM world sometime around the mid-1980s and can be found on only the oldest of machines. The aim of this guide is to provide information on which disk drives will work or can be made to work in an Amiga. |

Font Editor for AmigaOS 2.x/3.x. One piece of software I was missing in my Amiga times was a convenient Bitmap font editor. Commodore shipped one with the Kickstart 1.3 Extras disk but decided to discontinue that program with the introduction of Kickstart/Workbench 2.0. As I'd like to have some extra characters in the fonts I regularly use, as well as custom fonts for my own convenience, I looked into disassembling the abandoned Commodore FED sometime in the 90s. |

Hi I'm Andrew. I'm just a regular guy (and a bit of a geek) who is into retro gaming and computers. Having recently ventured back into the world of Amiga, I have a few projects on the go. Whilst researching online and looking for guides to help with my projects, I found that a lot of the information out there seemed to assume a level of background experience and knowledge that was above my own. This led to some frustrations, where I was unable to get things working. |

Q: What are the differences between Cloanto's 3.X ROMs, and the original versions and updates released by Amiga? The 3.1 ROM, initially released in the CD hardware in 1993, was the last Amiga ROM version released by Commodore/Amiga. The 3.X series by Cloanto, first released in 1999, aims to remain as true to the original as possible while merging some essential updates, the most notable of which being the ability to boot from "large" hard disks. This was originally released by Amiga (under the ESCOM and Gateway ownership) as a "SetPatch", while the Amiga Forever ROM distribution made it officially possible to use it as a native ROM, without requiring a reboot. |

I was directed recently to a utility that laid bare the maps, items and other structures of the classic Bitmap Brothers' game Cadaver on Amiga. It was fascinating to be able to dig into how the game was put together, not least because I'm working on something very similar with my as-yet-unnamed Amiga isometric game. |

So Ive been happily using a 2GB SD card inside my Amiga 1200 for a while now but Im finding that I need a little bit more storage than this card will provide so Ive opted to swap this out with a 4gb card. However, my Amiga wont detect SD cards that are of the SD SDHC type (which most SD cards over 2gb usually are these days). Ive been struggling to find a 4gb non SDHC type card and it seems that the best option is to ditch SD cards altogether and go for CF cards instead. Cheap IDE to CF adaptors are abundant on eBay and brought one a few days ago. |

This is now completely obsolete but I've left it here as it contains quite a few ideas some of which may still be relevant. N.B. 28th November 1998. After placing my last set of designs on the web I had some comments from Dave Haynie which I kept in mind when I decided to redesign them. I then sent the new designs to the head of Gateway 2000 to see what they thought in early June 1997. I didn't get any response unfortunately so rather than leaving my designs sitting around my Hard Disc I'm now placing them on the Web. |

This project contains I2C (TWI) hardware interfaces and a shared library for convenient access to I2C sensors connected to classic 68k Amiga computers. This is a little utility to read EDID values from VGA Monitors connected to the Amiga and calculate appropriate modelines suitable for Picasso96. In terms of hardware, an I2C (TWI) interface is required. Example schematics and software can be found on Aminet in hard/hack/i2clib40.lha. An alternative to external I2C interfaces might be a Zorro card like ICY. |

October 21, 2000, Melbourne, Australia - It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce the first new Amiga hardware in over 6 years. The AmigaOne, our first consumer product, will be targeted at the desktop and workstation market. Further products to follow will cover the markets from Personal Digital Assistants and upwards. All these products will run a single piece of software, the revolutionary Amiga Digital Environment (DE). We completed the AmigaOne specification three months ago, and dubbed it the "Zico". It is a specification and not a product because Amiga is a software company, not a hardware manufacturer. The ability of the Amiga DE to host itself on multiple hardware and operating system platforms frees us from hardware dependency and gives our partners and our customers the freedom to chose the hardware that best suits their needs and tastes. |

A one-day online gathering to make up for the cancellation of our usual annual event. Since the global pandemic has unfortunately left us no choice but to cancel our planned 2021 gathering in Ireland, we are planning a shorter and slightly more casual gathering online. Ticket fees go towards the running of the 2022 event. The day's schedule will be announced in January. Note: this online event is not the same as the now-cancelled 2021 event (i.e. we haven't just moved the event online). This is an less formal gathering for us to get together, talk, have an interview or two and some hi-score gaming competitions. There may be some workshops. 2021 plans have been postponed to 2022 and will take place in Athlone, Ireland. |

Amiga was introduced to the world in 1985, by the home computers and electronics manufacturer Commodore. Even today, some people always refer to it as Commodore Amiga, while others stand for the model, such as: Amiga 500, the most significant and revolutionary creation by the company. Who wouldve thought that decades past its end there would be a rise of artwork, only made possible through the tools and softwares that Amiga has granted. The rise is coming on the NFT space, mainly with artwork made in the 80s, which was kept to its creators until today, but also artists who are buying the available computers to make exclusive Amiga art. |

{From a post by Lionagony over at eab.abime.net. "Last year I tried a few minutes of every game on the Amiga, SNES, MD, PC Engine and PS1 and came to the conclusion that the Amiga has the most games that I want to come back to. My main criteria were for action games that were fun and had good graphics. My final numbers were Amiga 316, PS1 232, SNES 202, MD 198 and PC Engine 69. Here's the Amiga list, could probably update it with a few more games now including Roguecraft"} |

Suitable for Amiga 500, 500+, 600, 1200 and 4000. Many of those membranes fail due to worn-out graphite pads. Membranes sold here are brand new. These membranes work with keyboards made by Mitsumi green with a single connector |

The Amiga Magazine Rack was launched in early 2007 after more than 2 years of development. The website you see today grew from 3 independent coverdisk and review indexes independently compiled by members of the Hall of Light team. The site has close ties with the Hall of Light games database, with extensive cross-linking between the two sites. As a result, the current focus of the Amiga Magazine Rack is games, although application/hardware reviews and serious articles will be indexed in the fullness of time. The Amiga Magazine Rack is backed by a large review database which is linked to tens of thousands of scanned pages. |

MAST stood for Memory and Storage Technology out of Sparks, Nevada. Sparks is just outside Reno, NV. I probably found this drive in either AmigaWorld magazine or Computer Shopper, which iirc was a thin newspaper type printed on large format paper. This external amiga-specific floppy drive with DB23 connectors had a few unique features. It had a two-digit track indicator for which track was being read or written. It also had a few switches in the back. |

In this article, I'll take you on a journey through personal memories, quirky details and special moments that make the Amiga an unforgettable classic. And my favorite computer to this day. |

The CDTV was Commodore's attempt to build a multimedia entertainment station. It was designed to run interactive entertainment software or be used to manage multimedia displays, such as point of information terminals. The CDTV was also supplied with a wireless infrared controller. The CDTV is fully Amiga compatible and is capable of running the same software as conventional Amigas. Some versions of CDTV motherboard may have been upgraded by Commodore, so you may find a different revision mentioned underneath the sticker. |

Introduction: A little over a year ago, three enthusiastic users of both the Amiga computer and the World Wide Web decided that it was time for the Amiga to have its own version of Mosaic. The ``Three Michaels'', as we sometimes called ourselves, began the daunting task of porting NCSA's Mosaic for X to the Amiga platform. Although they did not consider this an official port, the NCSA graciously allowed us to use their source code, and the name Mosaic. Having decided to port NCSA Mosaic to the Amiga, we were faced with the job of moving some 50,000 lines of code designed to run under unix to an entirely different machine architecture and operating system. Fortunately, the Amiga Operating system has a number of features that made the process relatively painless. One such feature is the system's use of shared run-time libraries, which have allowed the developer community to produce widely used operating system extensions. |

Amiga fans have several projects to watch as we near the end of 2025. Today, we're looking at the intriguing Mirari, a new mainboard that is designed to breathe new life into the next-gen Amiga platform. The developers are several prototypes in and currently refining drivers to prepare the Micro-ATX form factor Mirari for a mid-2026 release. Amenities will include NVMe, USB3, PCIe slots, SATA (via card), and FPGA custom logic - all in a convenient Micro-ATX form factor. Expect to pay about $600 to $700 (500 - 600) for this AmigaOS4 and MorphOS platform when it is ready. |

PROJECT STATUS: NONE There is no status of the project at this point, it's still in the future to my knowledge. If there ever is a beta version, you'll hear about it here, for now there is no such thing and doesn't look like there will be for some time, particularly for Classic Amiga, simply because no Amiga developers want to devote any real attention to the effort. I do hope this changes. |

We are a dedicated bunch of enthusiasts who fondly remember the computer that history forgot, the Amiga range of Computers originally built by Commodore International. Despite Commodore's death, the Amiga continues to survive even with the many changes of ownership. Now after many years of legal wrangling, the future of the AmigaOS is in good hands once more and moving forward. |

If you had an Amiga during the 16-bit home computer era its possible that alongside the games and a bit of audio sampling you had selected it because of its impressive video capabilities. In its heyday the Amiga produced broadcast-quality graphics that could even be seen on more than a few TV shows from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its fair to say though that the world of TV has moved on since the era of Guru Meditation, and an SD video signal just wont cut it anymore. With HDMI as todays connectivity standard, [c0pperdragon] is here to help by way of a handy HDMI upgrade that taps into the digital signals direct from the Amigas Denise chip. |

Another nice example of how the Amiga was used as a low-cost video production workhorse. According to an article in a 1993 issue of "Amiga Kickstart" magazine (see links below), the music video for House Of Usher's techno track "Shades" was created on an Amiga 500+, using DeluxePaint IV. And you don't need glasses to immediately recognize somehow familiar colors and shapes. This looks very much like a production from the Amiga demo scene, only the sound quality is better, and the animation clips are more random. |

What Is This? An optimized port of SEGA's 1986 arcade game OutRun, utilizing the original 68000 assembly code, to mid-spec Commodore Amiga computers. Whilst small compromises have been made to accommodate differences between the arcade hardware and the Amiga - this looks and plays almost identical to the original. This is not an emulator. Nor is it based on Cannonball, MAME, or any existing project. It is a ground up rewrite in assembler, with a focus on performance. |

New device that provides the following features: 8MB of Autoconfig Fast RAM. It is a single 8MB of SRAM versus DRAM, so it really and truly is indeed fast with zero wait states, Coin-cell battery backed Real Time Clock (RTC), which comes with its own clock software that gets put into your startup sequence & SD Card Reader with 2GB MicroSD. It comes pre-formatted with the FAT32 file system and is readable on any PC as a result. This way you can quickly set up your new SD-based hard drive.This twitter account is currently connected to the official facebook page ?

I remember Amiga games looked pretty great back in the day. Some still do, if seen on real hardware. Pixel artists adapted their art for an environment with specific video out signal processing, CRT scanlines, gamma and ghosting. Using an emulator, certain scroll text movements, copper gradients, or frame flicker tricks will look harsh and skippy. The gamma might be way off, judging by the peculiar black-points I'm seeing coming out of a lot of emulated old hardware, in particular MAME. |

Before the Amiga was a computer, Amiga was a struggling independent company trying to stay in business so it would get its chance at changing the world. In order to make ends meet while they developed their multitasking computer, Amiga produced and sold joysticks for the game systems and computers that were already on the market. It was called the Amiga Power Stick. These joysticks turn up on Ebay fairly frequently. The going rate on them tends to be between $10-$15. |

Having owned an Amiga microcomputer is apparently a little bit like having shaken hands with Shoggoth: no one can escape unchanged from the experience. Thirty-two years on, [Neil] at The Retro Collective remains haunted by the memories specifically, the memory of BlitzBasic 2, an Amiga-specific programming language he never found the time to use. What better time to make a game for the Amiga than the year 2025 of the common era? |

PIC based PS/2 to Amiga Mouse. Properly functioning Amiga compatible mouses have naturally become quite rare these days. Consequently, ways are needed to make standard mouses usable for the Amiga. One variant I applied in the 90s was to put the Amiga mouse PCB inside a PC mouse. Another choice for the protocol conversion task are the popular microcontrollers. The best adapter I found so far is the PIC MCU based approach by Denis Sotchenko (http://ps2m.sotchenko.ru/). While many other Amiga hardware projects are available for purchase only, this one is completely open source. Practically all current mouses come along with a USB plug. As I didn't want to incorporate an additional adapter, I directly soldered a USB-A-Socket instead of the PS/2 to my PCB. The mouse protocol is of course still PS/2 in this case and needs to be supported by the particular mouse. |

RS-232C mice were accessible for Amiga users - there was some software drivers and hardware controllers. But it is not good solution because of described above. PS/2 mice were not accessible on Amiga at very long time - but this time now is in the past. PS/2 mouse can work on Amiga with my controller too well as works native Amiga mouse. But you can ask - why you will do my controller, if your Amiga mouse works similarily? |

{Thread @ EAB asking the question 'Did you ever have an Amiga related question that seemed too simplistic, something you should normally know the answer to and are therefore too ashamed to ask? I thought it would be nice to have a thread for such questions. Thread rule: nobody is allowed to laugh, no matter how stupid the question is.'} |

An experiment in alternate history: what AmigaBASIC could have looked like, had it been developed further tailored to the Amiga OS. What AQB is not: AQB does not try to be a clone of any particular BASIC dialect - neither QuickBASIC, FreeBASIC or VisualBASIC nor any particular Amiga specific BASIC implementation like AmigaBASIC, ACE, HiSoft, GFA, Blitz or AMOS. While it strives to be as compatible as possible with the Microsoft BASIC family of languages (and certainly has many QuickBASIC traits) the primary focus is on the creation of a modern, clean, Amiga OS-compliant, future-proof BASIC that is tailored towards modern Amiga application development. |

This is a list of all known publications/books relating to the Commodore Amiga. This list has been created as a reference for the classicamiga project Amiga Reference Book Library Archive(ARBLA). The aim of this project is to create a central online resource of Amiga Reference Books/Manuals/Publications in PDF format. Once permission is granted for classicamiga to host each book in PDF format as part of the ARBLA project it will be scanned in and converted into a PDF version. A copyright/permission disclaimer from the original publisher/author of each publication will be included with each PDF before they can be allowed to be uploaded and published on ARBLA. |

This is an attempt to make clean Verilog sources for each chip on the Amiga. Unlike MiniMig and related implementations, this seeks to maintain perfect compatibility with the whole chip and the whole chip only to serve as a second-source to the slowly disappearing stock of Amiga chips. These will be drop-in replacements. To view the plan of record for each chip, please visit the README.md for each project. |

Amiga Report Magazine was published between March 1993 and April 1998. As one of the first regularly-published online magazines, it broke new ground for the information revolution to come in the Internet age. Amiga Report published over 100 issues, overseen by three editors. The first, Robert Glover, modeled the publication after the long-running Atari-focused STReport, and quickly migrated the magazine from a text format to the pioneering AmigaGuide hypertext language. As Commodore struggled and the Amiga commercial market deteriorated in early 1994, Glover handed off the magazine to assistant editor Robert Niles. Niles, along with regular contributor Jason Compton, used Amiga Report as a platform to update Amiga users on the Commodore bankruptcy proceedings. Compton became the third and final editor in late 1994. |

Desert Dream from the Danish Amiga group Kefrens is considered by many as one of the absolute all-time classic demos on any platform. At the time of writing, the two-disk Amiga 500 production is ranked at number 50 on the popular demoscene board Pouet.net. Many sceners remember fondly of this nearly 15 minute effects show, which just keeps throwing new things at the watcher at a steady pace. Still, it's the first four minutes which made probably the biggest impression at first viewing. |

SPICE is a program for simulating electronic circuits, the name is an acronym that stands for "Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis". Originally the program was created by Laurence Nagel at the Electronics Research Laboratory of the University of California. It was released as public-domain and the release included the source code, which then meant that it was possible to port the program to other systems, including the Amiga. |

Often, these are minor defects that can be easily repaired. When you turn on an Amiga, the first thing that starts is a self-test. It checks specific areas of the computer one by one, and if an error occurs, an error message is displayed. |

I'm not trying to compete with the Amiga FAQ that appears in Amiga newsgroups periodically - it covers all kinds of things that I don't plan to mention at all. I'm also not trying to compete with manuals - this page is mostly for people whose Amiga didn't come with one. There will definitely be plenty of things missing from this page - e.g. instructions for the text editors and Arexx, detailed syntax of commands, description of Workbench preferences programs. |

Updated Amiga has now confirmed that it will use Linux as the kernel for its next generation operating system. The company signed a deal to use QNX last year, but now Jim Collas, president and CEO, has confirmed Linux is the favourite. Part of the reason, according to Collas, is because of the enormous interest in Linux in the computer industry. |

Amiga Translators' Organization was created because for a long time, programmers who wanted translations for their programs would either have to post "Translators wanted"-mails onto newgroups and mailing lists, or they must use translators they knew. {...} ATO was then built as being an organized pool of translators. We want to make programmers' lives as easy as possible by offering many translators for a wide range of languages, and still offer the quality assurance. This quality assurance is done through the proofreading concept which you can see here. |

If you were an Amiga owner during the late 1980s it is likely that you were excited by the mere mention of 'Transputer'. The Transputer was an 1980s term describing hardware that directly supported parallel processing. This enabled the transparent connection of multiple processors that would be used to work upon a single task. However, information on these boards has become increasingly elusive. On this page I attempt to catalogue every transputer card that has been sold or announced. |

This site is dedicated on preserving Amix's history and sharing information and instructions on what Amix is, how to install it (either on real hardware or in emulation) and what can you do with it. Mainly, it tries to cater to people who wish to run AMIX for whatever reason on their hardware. By documenting experiences with it, it is hoped that subsequent SVR4 junkies will find the way more smooth than it might have been without any guidance at all. |

DIY USB Mouse interface for Amiga Computers. USB Mouse adapters are available for the Amiga platform, both in form of commercial offerings and OpenSource projects (such as SmallyMouse). All of these previously developed USB solutions for the Amiga (that I am aware of) are based on the USB boot protocol which doesn't offer support for the scroll wheel. That's why I decided to build my own solution which implements the full USB HID mode (or report mode) and supports wheel movements along the way. |

It may not make much sense for Amiga, inc., but the plan has merit. Analysis Amiga users have begun a campaign to persuade Amiga, inc. president Thomas Schmidt that the success of both company and community depends on taking a leaf from Linux's book and releasing the AmigaOS under an open source license. |

This project was inspired by the Amiga Digital Video project by c0pperdragon. This design makes use of the Amiga 2000/3000 video slot and easy to solder through hole components, making it friendly for even the novice DIYer. At the time of writing this, all the components are available through DigiKey. This has been tested with both standard and Super Denise on Amiga 2000 rev 4.x and 6.x boards. The picture output is outstanding. It should be fully compatable with the Amiga 3000, but I do not have access to one for testing. |

The Amiga Video to Pi HDMI is a card designed for the "big box" Amiga video slot. Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, it can convert and output HDMI video from the Amiga native video formats (only OCS modes are supported). Background: Inspiration for this project began when I saw online the open source Amiga-Digital-Video project by c0pperdragon. It would be more convenient to not have to remove the Denise and run a cable to the rear of the chassis when the Amiga 2000, 3000, and 4000 already have a video slot which can be used for this purpose. Intended use: With the Amiga Video to Pi HDMI in your Amiga 2000/3000/4000 video slot, you get a HDMI video port exposed from the rear of the chassis. This video port provides the Amiga's native video in a format that modern monitors and televisions readily support. |

This project implements a board which plugs into a big-box Amiga Video Slot (A2000, A3000, A4000) and uses a Raspberry Pi Zero to process the Amiga display video in realtime to provide HDMI video output for the computer. The Amiga Video to Pi HDMI is a card designed for the "big box" Amiga video slot. Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, it can convert and output HDMI video from the Amiga native video formats (only OCS modes are supported). The schematic design is based loosely on LinuxJedi's CPLD version of the Denise socket Amiga-Digital-Video module for OCS and ECS Amigas with a 48-pin DIP Denise. It uses software for the Raspberry Pi Zero that is developed by hoglet67's multi-platform vintage hardware RGBtoHDMI project. |

In rural Washington state, Amiga's latest rescue effort has set up shop. But can it finally pull the Amiga out of obscurity? East of Seattle, at the foot of the Cascade Mountains, the Amiga computer system with half a million loyal followers has found its latest would-be savior. "This is about unification and creating something that developers can build upon," said Bill McEwen, the 37-year-old president and CEO of the newly formed Amiga Inc., from his home set amongst 200-foot-tall trees of Maple Valley, Wash. |

Most of assembler programming courses for Amiga ignore its operating system and ways of using it. Authors pay attention to using the CPU and chipset directly via their hardware registers, bypassing the OS. It is often unavoidable when writing games or scene demos, because it is the fastest way. On the other hand the operating system can save a lot of work when writing application programs. Some of OS features may be also useful in a game or demo. |

This project is a new Amiga 1200 board done from the schematics. The intent is to fit in a standard A1200 case. The RAM has been moved to a separate board. Also, the Video codec is on a separate board. Features: All Original AA chips are needed and can be put into the sockets. These include Lisa, Paula, Alice and the two CIA chips. The CPU is removed, you need some accellerator board to run this board. The DRAM has been removed and the functionality has been moved to a daughterboard. Video output has been moved to a seperate output board. This board get all Lisa output signals and also all the typical Zorro signals. This means that an RTG card can be developed. The PCMCIA slot has been removed and in the free space a Compact Flash socket has been added. {and more} |

The purpose of this project is to develop an open source Amiga 2000 PCB in the EATX form factor. What is EATX? It is an ATX variant that allows slightly deeper PCBs, measuring 12 x 13 inches (305 330 mm). These are referred to as Extended ATX, or, EATX. The length of Zorro II cards, not to mention the abundance of components on the Amiga 2000, makes EATX the best choice for this project. |

This is a recreation of the Rev 9 Daughterboard for the Amiga 3000 This is a 4 Layer board with signal on the upper and lower layers and a Power and Ground Plane. When fabbing the board you will probably be asked if you want to remove the solder mask on the area for the Edge Connectors. It is fine to say Yes to this. |

Add pixel-perfect HDMI output to the Amiga machines. For all Amiga versions that have a socketed DIP Denise chip, a rather small adapter board can be used to extract the digital video signal (12 bit) to a 40-pin connector compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero. This can then be used with the RGBtoHDMI software to produce a perfect HDMI picture with very low latency (a few milliseconds at most). |

This is a small mod board that will provide a DSKRDY signal for drives which don't have one - commonly the case with "PC" disk drives. Often there are modifications out there which claim to provide a !DSKRDY signal, but they are not actually proper !DSKRDY signals... this can cause issues with some disk routines and will show up as an issue in Amiga Test Kit, for example. |

Mechanical keyboard for the Amiga 2000/3000/4000. This is a project I started while pausing on another project. This IS NOT a drop-in replacment for legacy Amiga keyboards. Rather, it is a new design using Cherry PCB mount switches and off the shelf key caps. I am not planning to work on this at the moment, but I may work on it again in the future. The schematics, PCB layout, and routing are complete (as far as I remember). All that's missing is the code for the STM FPGA. |

The N2630 is a 50MHz Motorolla 68030 CPU card with additional RAM and IDE device port for the Amiga 2000 family of computers. It is installed in the CPU slot where it immediately upgrades the system to a 68030 processor with FPU, up to 264 megabytes of Fast RAM, and an IDE port. The N2630 is intended to be an evolution of the A2630 card. |

Amiga2MacFloppy, a reversed-engineered A-Max interface. The original A-Max II software allowed to emulate a Macintosh computer on the Amiga and provided an interface (Figure 1) to connect an external Apple floppy drive and use it in emulation. It is also compatible with CrossMAC on the Amiga so you can read Mac floppies on the Amiga. Amiga2MacFloppy (Figure 2) is a recreation of that board without the Mac ROMs that were required on the original board. It works all the same with a patched version of A-Max II so that it loads the ROMs from file instead. |

TiNA is a new board that is being designed and developed in Italy by a team of Amiga enthusiasts. Their main goal is to make a complete implementation of the Amiga 500 and/or Amiga 1200 by the use of powerful FPGAs. They want to make this come true with a 68020 CPU that is even more powerful than any existing 68060 CPU. Itll be able to execute 2 in-order instructions per clock cycle, but at 400 (!) MHz instead of 50. On their website they state that there is a lot of work to do when it comes to this and they need to investigate fully if the FPGA will allow such features. |

Description: A class that represents the content of Amiga Basic files. Details: Amiga Basic is a BASIC-style programming language that was shipped with early Commodore Amiga machines. It requires an interpreter to run an Amiga Basic script. The AmigaFFH package does not interpret Amiga Basic scripts. It does allow for encoding and decoding scripts in the binary format in which it was originally stored on the Amiga. Amiga Basic scripts were stored as encoded binaries instead of ASCII text files in order to save (at the time precious) memory and disk space. Amiga Basic binary files start with a file header (as an identifier) and is followed by each line of the script as binary data. The AmigaBasic-class object stores each line of the script as a list item as a vector of raw data. Use as.character and as.AmigaBasic to switch between character data and AmigaBasic-class objects. |

Amiga 500 Kickstart Selector with Bluetooth. {...} Traditionally, a mechanical switch is mounted outside the Amiga by drilling a hole in the plastic case (something I can't even imagine doing). More advanced methods use the reset wire to cycle through Kickstarts at each boot or based on how long the user holds Control-Amiga-Amiga, but even this method requires a wire soldered to the motherboard. The idea is to make the switch wireless via Bluetooth. |

{...} No type of hypertext-like utility was available on the Amiga--that is, until AmigaGuide came along. AmigaGuide can display plain ASCII text files and AmigaGuide databases. An AmigaGuide database is a single file that consists of a set of documents called nodes. If you were to convert a book into an AmigaGuide database, a convenient way to organize the database is to make each chapter of the book into a node. |

Small and simple application for viewing AmigaGuide files. This software was developed "quick and dirty" in about two days -- because I needed (or at least wanted) anything to view AmigaGuide files on Linux directly without converting them to other formats. It's not really feature complete yet (support for word wrapping and some other functions are missing) but it should render most guides quite well. AmigaGuideViewer is implemented in Java (14) and should work on Window / Linux / MacOS. |

This includes the A500, A1000, A2000, A3000 and A4000, including variants and towers. The A600 and A1200 have the keyboard controller on the motherboard, and are not compatible with this keyboard design. |

An adapter for connecting Amiga keyboards to the C64. Some features worth mentioning: Can be used simultaneously with the regular C64 keyboard - just connect it in parallel. If connected to /RESET of the C64 user port, it will reset the C64 when pressing Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga. It works by simulating the keyboard matrix which the C64 reads directly using two of the 8-bit CIA ports. It is assumed that the C64 always uses the 8 COL pins as outputs and the 8 ROW pins as inputs when reading the matrix. |

Takes advantages of P96/CGX , MUI and AHI and AmigaOS3.1 and later. This is hugely based on Mame060 from triumph for the MUI part. |

TCP/IP through serial, between an Amiga 500 and Linux. AmigaNOS (or AmigaTCP or KA9Q) is as far as I know the only TCP/IP stack that works on Kickstart 1.3, besides Commodore's AS225 stack (and probably just it's r1 version), made for the A2065 Zorro-II Ethernet card for Amiga 2000/3000/4000. By the time the Internet became more widespread, Kickstart 2.0 was already out and the more advanced applications all use the capabilities of the newer OS. AmigaNOS is the port of the TCP/IP stack originally written by Phil Karn (callsign: KA9Q) and was intended for amateur packet radio users. As it's tiny and was written in C, it got ported to many systems. The Amiga port was done by John Heaton. |

It has certainly been a while since I played around with my AmigaOne A1222 system, so this weekend was the time to put things right! As an aside I was curious if the system is still for sale in 2025, following it's launch in 2024 - it seems so! I note that the AmigaOne A1222+ is available still from the AmigaKit France website, shipping as a complete system from Europe rather than from the UK. Not sure why that is, but it is still available there if you want one of these systems. |

So just over 10 years ago, I bought a new Amiga, the AmigaOne x1000. It had a lot of promises, to push the Amiga platform to the next generation of computing. Dual core support, 64bit, cpu and this weird custom chip, Xmos. It all sounded very exciting, os4 also got Firefox port at this time and other promised app like open office for kids was promised to be on the horizon. Amiga sounded like it had a chance of a return, so with much debate and thinking it seemed like it was now or never to try and support this mini comeback I would get myself an AmigaOne x1000. 10 years on did the promises match the dream. I wrote a review also 10 years agos, re-reading I put this in its summary section of the review |

Even though you can play a lot of nice games on the classic AmigaOS 4.1 FE, I would like to try the AmigaOne XE with modern PCIe cards, just like I did with Sam440ep-flex back in the day. Because then we can also run games that require more modern APIs. |

the article is a free continuation of the previous two parts about AmigaOne XE: AmigaOne XE - easy and fast, AmigaOne XE - AGP and PCIe graphics cards, and discusses hardware interrupts in this Amiga. There will be more theory and more technique here. Since I didn't really understand the PCI interrupt system in XE, I had to look it up and you can find it here. And I must say that it is much more complicated compared to today's PCIe system. So this article will be more of a small textbook for beginners and intermediates on the topic of "PCI legacy interrupts". And textbooks tend to be boring, be prepared for that. |

In spite of being largely compatible with the classic API, there are a few rules that a programmer should be aware of when porting programs from the 68k-based AmigaOS 3.x to the new PowerPC-based AmigaOS 4. This document tries to outline the process and also point to a few potential traps and issues. |

Who is this for? The guy that dreamed a cool and fast 68k Amiga with RTG, the ability to enjoy the old school stuff, just to click on a demo/music disk to enjoy what Paula sounds like gives the thrills ! 32se NEXT stays true Amiga with a touch of presence. This is a upgrade for AmigaOS 3.2.x, I think it makes it more useful and fun, I'm trying to avoid apps that doesn't work or prone to crash, more is not always better ;-) If you give it time and get the way 32se works you notice this is not bloatware, you are in control and can pretty much strip it down to clean OS. The main driver here is a theme controls almost all, you can switch between "bloatware OS" to "minimal OS" in seconds ;) Yes you can have all the fun! |

The pegasos2 machine is available in QEMU since v6.1.0 and was improved in v8.0.0 to be able to run AmigaOS 4.1 Pegasos 2 version but installation is not as straightforward as on real hardware. This is because the Pegasos 2 AmigaOS 4.1 install CD does not have a graphics card driver that matches any of the video cards emulated by QEMU so booting the install CD will not produce video output. To make it work a suitable graphics driver has to be added to AmigaOS Kickstart to make it possible to boot and install it. This page describes the steps needed for that. The NG Amiga emulation in QEMU is still in development and may have bugs but AmigaOS 4.1 should boot and generally work with latest QEMU version. |

The AmigaOS development blog contains articles written by the core AmigaOS 3.2 for 68k developers and friends. Our goal is to encourage and support your first steps into the fascinating realm of developing for the classic Amiga operating system. No matter if you just want to write a small tool, a little game or a a full-blown application - starting development can provide frustrating experiences, especially on a retro operating system. We'd like to remedy this by providing a series of articles, covering installation of development tools, programming examples, debugging war stories and other helpful tips. |

Introduction. The Amiga's operating system is old, and has had almost no official updates for over four years. If this had happened to MacOS or Windows they would be laughably out of date by now. It shows just how amazingly advanced AmigaOS was when it was released that even now, after so much neglect, it can still be a viable, modern OS. AmigaOS is now owned by Gateway computers, who are developing a new AmigaOS based around the QNX kernel. |

In the latest OSNews post by Thom Holwerda, he attacks the AmigaOS by saying I find them convoluted, incomprehensible, and frustratingly difficult to use. He then states that he is not here to ruin the Amiga communitys party. But he does! I am the editor of this Amitopia Amiga Magazine for many years and I am a daily user of AmigaOS. I love everything about it and at the same time, I use both macOS on my M1 Mac and Windows 10 on my i7 laptop. It is frustrating when Thom of such a respected site about various operating systems attacks AmigaOS like this. It is the exact phrases and words he uses that make many PC users get the extra fuel to spread untrue rumors about the Amiga computer. Quake or Doom will never work on Amiga? Amigas are too slow to run QuickTime? 3D accelerated graphics are impossible in AmigaOS? ... |

The ARexx programming language can act as a central hub through which applications - even those created by different companies - can exchange data and commands. For example, using ARexx you can instruct a telecommunications package to dial an electronic bulletin board, download financial data from the bulletin board, and then automatically pass the data to a spreadsheet program for statistical analysis - without any user intervention. ARexx is an interpreted language that uses ASCII file input. The ARexx interpreter is the RexxMast program, located in the System drawer of Workbench. RexxMast monitors the execution of an ARexx program. If RexxMast finds an error while translating or executing a line, it halts and displays an error message on the screen. This interactive testing is both a learning tool and an aid in debugging programs because it immediately highlights when and where an error has occurred. |

Python is developed mainly for the Unix platform. Because the full source code is available, ports to many other platforms exist nowadays. These include Macintosh, Windows and AmigaOS of course! AmigaPython is the Python version for AmigaOS. Not only is it largely compatible with the 'mainstream' Unix Python version, but it is also a real Amiga program by adding some exciting Amiga features to it. |

This python script is designed to accept the Central Coast Software's Quarterback backup disks as .ADF files, identify the CFM file markers within the file, and perform the LZW decompression algorithm on raw datastream, and write those decompressed files back into a qb_dump subdirectory of the current directory. More details. This backup software was a popular HDD backup solution for the Commodore Amiga. The genesis of this project was that I had a couple corrupted disks within my backup set, and Quarterback, despite having SOME builtin protection against it, fails as soon as it encounters some corrupted data. QB also requires a catalog which is stored on the first and last floppy in the backup set, in order to extract the files. My tool works on standalone disks within the set without the catalog. However, because there's no catalog support, there's a major limitation in the current, very beta, version. The original directory information IS NOT stored alongside the individual files, and so all files are simply written to the current directory. |

AmigaRemix.com is a non-profit website, dedicated to remixes of tracks from the Commodore Amiga computer series. The remixes are of tracks from games, demos and stand-alone entries such as compo entries from demoparties. It was founded by Paul Vanukoff in 2003 and the torch was handed over to John 'Ziphoid' Carehag in 2006 who has run it since then, with varied levels of intensity depending on the overall life situation. The core structure of the site has been basically the same since the beginning of its life with only fixes and tweaks as time went by. In 2020, a complete rewrite was begun to make it work on newer versions of PHP as well as make it possible to maintain without causing major headaches every time. Finally in the beginning of 2023 - over two years later due to unforeseen family circumstances - the rewrite was finished and the new version of the site was published, just in time for the 20-year anniversary. |

The ultimate Amiga games and demo scene setup for MiSTer FPGA, emulators, and Amiga hardware. Open source, commnity driven. AmigaVision Setup. AmigaVision creates a carefully curated collection of Amiga games and demos, as well as a minimal Workbench setup with useful utilities and apps, and wraps it all in a user-friendly launcher. It has many features specifically for use with MiSTer FPGA devices, but also aims to work with emulators like UAE and on original AGA-compatible hardware like an Amiga 1200/4000 or CD32, usually with SD/CF card adapters. Its aim is to balance preservation of the historical and current output of the Amiga games and demo scene as accurately as possible, while still being easy to use for people new to the Amiga computer. |

{French} A little over a year between the first publication of AMIGAZETTE and the first issue of AMIGAZette 83. The Fanzine Amigazette n1 had been created by fans of Amiga games and they had the idea of sharing their playful passion via the paper medium. Chance wanted me to meet them and the idea of making AMIGazette 83 germinated immediately, the time to put everything in place, create the association and off we went for this new adventure which lasted almost 10 years (1994 to 2004) with 56 editions, 1 every 2 months. |

{Polish & on Aminet} A {windows} program for checking images of Kickstart memory (ROM), which is located in every Amiga computer. It allows you to easily verify the correctness of the Kickstart and detect possible errors, before uploading the image to the memory chip (EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH) and mounting it in the Amiga. It supports 69 basic versions of Kickstart (support for new versions can be easily added) and your own 1 MB Kickstarts created with the Remus package. It was written in C using the free "Open Watcom 1.9" environment. Runs on Windows 95 or later (requires 386 or better processor). |

AmiKit 12 gives you a fully functional legally distributed Amiga system out of the box with all the bells and whistles that would take you many years to customise the standard Workbench 3.1/3.2 installation to achieve by yourself. All you need to supply is the copyrighted AmigaOS files from a legal source like Amiga Forever or Hyperion's AmigaOS 3.2. Let's take a closer look! |

A Hollywood app designed for AmigaOS4 owners, this is AmiPad. Basically I realized that a lot of these so called apps on these tablets devices are just web site powered apps with fancy icons, so that started me think what useful HMTL5 apps and web site could i find that work on Amiga web browsers, so here it is. |

AMIpower is the most advanced power supply on the market for the Amiga 500, 600 and 1200 computers. {...} Unlike any other power supply on the market, AMIpower shows you the voltages being supplied on all rails, including positive 5 volts, positive 12 volts and negative 12 volts. That's right, your Amiga requires three different voltages for proper operation. Perhaps even more importantly, AMIpower provides a real time display of the 5 volt current being used - accurate to 0.1 amps. |

AmiSSL is a port of OpenSSL for AmigaOS. It is a shared library that allows developers to easily add SSL/TLS/HTTPS support to their applications or access cryptographic functions, without having to worry about all the ins and outs of porting OpenSSL, whilst also reducing bloat because all applications can share the same AmiSSL library. Starting with AmiSSL v5, OpenSSL 3.x even provides a built-in basic HTTP(S) client which makes it even easier for developers to read resources from the web without needing to worry about networking code. |

In 1993, a group of students from the Helsinki University of Technology, caused great excitement in the Amiga Internet community by announcing a free implementation of TCP/IP for the Amiga which they had built as a part of a software engineering course. Until then, the only available Amiga implementation of the Internet protocol suite was Commodore's somewhat incomplete and costly AS225 software. |

Because the installation script for AmiTCP 3.0b2 is a bit buggy and requires a bit of manual work, we decided to make this guide. We have tried to make each step in this guide as clear as possible so there is a lot of pictures, but don't be afraid, most of the steps will be passed in a matter of seconds. |

As a former Amiga user, having owned the A1000, A2000, A3000 and A4000 with a multitude of hardware add-ons, I was very late to discover Amithlon, an Amiga emulation that uses standard x86 hardware to run the Amiga OS, Amiga OS 3.9 in fact. Once discovering this awesome software, I've spent hours on the net searching for more information and how to get the best out of it. Lots of dead-end links as well as some very useful tips helped me get Amithlon running on a number of old computers I had with varying pieces of hardware. I'm hoping to make available as much information and resources as possible, though Amithlon itself can not be provided. |

Amiga OS binaries and files on macOS and all other *nix-like platforms supporting Python. Windows might work as well, but is heavily untested. However, patches are welcome. I focus with my https://amitools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/xdfscan.htmltools on classic Amiga setups, i.e. a 680x0 based system with Amiga OS 1.x - 3.x running on it. However, this is an open project, so you can provide other Amiga support, too. The tools are mostly developer-oriented, so a background in Amiga programming will be very helpful. |

It is fully functional and can do all the usual window manager stuff, like moving and resizing windows. The purpose of amiwm is to make life more pleasant for Amiga-freaks like myself who has/wants to use UNIX workstations once in a while. It can also be used on the Amiga with the AmiWin X server, although this part needs some more work. |

A very simple IFF Anim Player runs on any Amiga. Can play compressed IFF Anim format synched with a separated IFF Audio Sample (or the audio is inside the anim file or it is a separated MOD file). No need for tons of Ram because the anim frames and the audio is streamed directly from HDD. If you have enough ram, the audio is streamed directly from ram!It is able to play a sequence of animations one after the other, if the filename end ad the next sequencenumber (filename.N) Can be used for small or big animations. |

Thanks to both an anonymous contributor and some improved M68K assembler debugging techniques, this version has multiple crash bugs fixed, as well as an issue that prevented the extension from working well on non-emulated Amigas. Upgrading is highly recommended! |

A few years ago, I had the idea of building an Amiga like chassis with some arm based computer and a real mechanical keyboard. I even bought everything needed to build it ! The idea was to make an emulation machine similar to what exists for retrogaming consoles, but here I wanted something dedicated to old computers like Amiga, Atari, C64, CPC 6128. The Raspberry pi foundation brings the Pi 400, but I personally find that it lacks originality. The time has come for this project to see the light : its now a reality and I love it :). As usual, Im sharing all my work for anyone who would like to build one. Of course as you probably guessed, the name Amstaga is a mix of Amiga, Amstrad and Atari. |

Based around the original custom chips of the Classic Amiga(tm) computer from Commodore(tm) Im ready to run all your favorite Classic games and applications. My core design focuses on compatibility, stability and flexibility. My designer is an experienced hardware engineer and he started this project around 2010. Since then Ive undergone some major design changes. Early boards were larger (ATX+) and based solely on through hole components. In the latest revision (they call me Amy-ITX now ) all non Commodore custom electronics are super small SMD (Surface-Mount Devices). Now Im a standard Mini-ITX form factor. This not only makes me smaller in size (about 50%) but also cuts cost and makes me more environmentally friendly. |

There was a magic moment for a few years around the end of the 1980s, when home computers were better than professional ones. Thats a mighty grand pronouncement, but it refers to the crop of 16-bit home computers that genuinely were far better than nearly all PCs at the time for multimedia tasks. You could plug a sampler cartridge into your Amiga and be in the dance charts in no time, something which sparked a boom in electronic music creativity. As retrocomputing interest has soared so have the prices of old hardware, and for those still making Amiga music that cart can now be outrageously expensive. its something [echolevel] has addressed, with an open-source recreation of an Amiga sampler. |

If you were a child of the 1970s or 1980s you probably have fond memories of the early days of the home computer industry. Apple, Atari, TI, and several other companies all made their mark but none of them have a legacy quite like Commodore. Most people alive in that era remember the Commodore 64. After all, its still the best selling single computer model of all time. But theres a long list of other Commodore computer models as well. Lets take a trip down memory lane and see what else they did. |

The retrocomputer enthusiast has increasingly to grapple with not only runaway computer prices but the astronomical cost of vintage peripherals. A welcome solution in some cases comes from the Raspberry Pi, which has proved itself fast enough to emulate those add-ons for a lot less outlay. A good one comes from [Niklas Ekstrm], whos made a Pi-based network adapter for the Commodore Amiga 1200. Better still it doesnt hog the main expansion port or the PCMCIA slot, instead it sits on the 1200s rarely-used real-time-clock port. Software wise it uses an updated version of his earlier project for the Amiga 500. It provides access to the Pi command prompt, as well as a SANA driver and a mounted filesystem. |

A new year, a new owner for the Amiga. Amino, the company formed by Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen to continue the digital convergence ideas of the Collas-era Amiga, announced that they had purchased the Amiga lock, stock and barrel from Gateway. Okay, Gateway still retain the patents, but at least Amino have, as part of the purchase agreement, gained access rights. |

...The sale success again underscores Andy Warhols stature as the reigning king of Pop Art, now in both physical and digital-native art forms. Originally created in 1985, Andy Warhols Amiga drawings were meticulously restored from obsolete floppy disks in 2014. For the Christies sale, The Andy Warhol Foundation exclusively minted five unique NFTs that point to restored and preserved files from the 2014 project. |

D rawing has always been a great interest of mine. After getting an brand new Amiga 1200 in the early nineties I also started playing around with animation. With a greyscale scanner from Datel Electronics in the UK I produced my first animations on my Amiga. I also started to learn to use the 3D rendering package Imagine. Unfortunately I havent had time to continue this hobby but I hope to do something new in a not too distant time. Here you can see the results of my experiments. Some of the animations was for a local TV broadcast station (JTVP) that used Amiga. They had a text & image sequence made in Scala that showed all kinds of information when they had no program to send. It was no commercial TV station. |

To illustrate how much easier and faster it is to program using our framework, below are two C programs doing exactly the same, wait one second and then display the words "Time is up!". The one on the left uses API2, the one on the right uses only the standard functions provided by AmigaOS. |

Apollo is an experimental operating system for the Amiga 4000 computer with support for user and kernel space concurrency and reentracy. One aspect that sets it aside from traditional threading-based OSs is that it is purely built around dispatch queues similar to Apple's Grand Central Dispatch rather than threads. So there is no support for creating threads in user space nor in kernel space. Instead the kernel implements a virtual processor concept and it maintains a pool of virtual processors. |

Since then, my Amiga has had a new lease of life so I thought Id write an update covering all the stuff I would have wanted to know while I was waiting for the package to arrive. What follows is a review/retrospective on my first month or so of usage of this card Ill cover the ordering experience, hardware, installation, updates and software and wrap up with my thoughts and reflections on the project. |

ApolloExplorer is a file sharing utitlity for getting files to and from your Amiga from the comfort of you PC. It is very simple but very fast. Probably the fastest network transfer software you can find for your amiga. A server software runs in the background on your Amiga and allows a client running on a PC running Windows, Linux or MacOS to connect to the Amiga and browse the local disks. |

Easy to see who got the better of that deal. Innovators reminisce about that relationship and others during the PC years. An Apple II PC being sold by Commodore International in 1982? It came very close to happening, but luckily for Apple, Commodore rejected the idea, instead going with its revolutionary Commodore 64. |

An experiment in alternate history: what AmigaBASIC could have looked like, had it been developed further tailored to the Amiga OS. What AQB is not: AQB does not try to be a clone of any particular BASIC dialect - neither QuickBASIC, FreeBASIC or VisualBASIC nor any particular Amiga specific BASIC implementation like AmigaBASIC, ACE, HiSoft, GFA, Blitz or AMOS. While it strives to be as compatible as possible with the Microsoft BASIC family of languages (and certainly has many QuickBASIC traits) the primary focus is on the creation of a modern, clean, Amiga OS-compliant, future-proof BASIC that is tailored towards modern Amiga application development. To be more specific, FreeBASIC is the source of many core AQB language constructs (in many respects AQB can be considered a subset of FreeBASIC) with inspiration for Amiga specific commands mainly from AmigaBASIC, ACE and HiSoft. Main target is Amiga OS compliant application development. |

Why: To preserve data from these disks for the future. Also, a normal PC can't read Amiga disks due to the way they are written. |

ARIX is a set of libraries inspired by the AmigaOS application interface, placed on top of a linux kernel. The libraries provide basic memory management (allocation, reallocation, filling memory etc), thread and process creation, inter process communication and many more. The ARIX libraries themselves does not depend on any other high-level linux libraries apart from some very low level things, such as /lib/ld-linux.so or the dynamic/static library dependencies introduced by the gcc. |

The machine, which we call the Armiga, is a beautiful piece of modern technology. Its built around a modern Dual Core ARM CPU, that plays together with our custom made floppy controller. This is the key of the machine: Weve developed our own controller, able of reading Amiga disks, decode them and make them available for executing. Sounds simple, right?. The Armiga aims to emulate both the Amiga 500 with 1MB of RAM and Amiga 1200 with 2MB of RAM as close as possible to the original ones. And for you not to get your hands dirty, fully legal copies of Kickstart 1.3 and 3.1 are provided with every Armiga! |

Have you ever wished that you could draw your pixel art in Aseprite and then export your creation to an IFF/ILBM file so that you can use it directly in your Amiga game development creations? Well now you can! This Aseprite script will allow you to convert your colour indexed sprite to an Amiga IFF/ILBM formatted file. You can then copy this file to your Amiga computer or Amiga emulation folder to load directly into Deluxe Paint V for further editing or directly into your AMOS Professional, Blitz Basic 2 or RedPill game engine project for immediate use. Or for any other projects where you need an IFF image file. |

ASMotor is a portable and generic assembler engine and development system written in ANSI C99 and licensed under the GNU Public License v3. The package consists of the assembler, the librarian and the linker. It can be used as either a cross or native development system. The assembler can output ASMotor's own object format, Amiga hunk format (link and executable) and ELF. The assembler should slot right in to another toolchain without any trouble, if that is preferred. |

Assets for an old mod made in around 1997/1998 for Alien Breed 3D 2, a game released for the Commodore Amiga 1200 and 4000 in 1996. The original version of the game required 4MB of Fast RAM. This mod likely requires more, but not more than 16MB. |

When it comes to Atari ST vs Amiga, there are more similarities than differences from todays perspective. But the two machines had significant differences that led them to be incompatible even though the hardware differences look minor today. Heres a look at the two machines and why they were such fierce rivals in the late 1980s. |

Audio mixer 3.1 is a completely reworked version of the audio mixer featured in the Amiga Tech Audio Mixing example. This version has a completely reworked API, much more detailed documentation, extra examples, integration with C programs and several new features. Features: Up to four samples can be mixed onto a single hardware channel. High performance: mixing four samples onto a single channel at 11KHz takes only 3.7% CPU time on a 7MHz 68000 without Fast RAM. Can be run while a music playback routine is running, as long as the music routine does not access the hardware channel(s) used by the Audio Mixer. Up to four hardware channels can be assigned to the Audio Mixer, allowing up to 16 samples being played back at the same time. {& more!} |

Presented here is a tested design for a single supply Audio mixer. It accepts two line level audio inputs, each with independent volume controls. One input, can be adapted to the harsh left/right mix of the audio output of the Commodore Amiga computer. It crossfades the audio between the left/right channels, to improve the audio mix, when listening on headphones. In addition it supports a Better Paula filter circuit, claimed to improve the frequency response of the original computer. All options are configurable. |

Australian Amiga Gazette (AAG) was created by me in 1996 as a grassroots, hard copy publication for the purpose of keeping the Amiga computer alive here in Australian. First produced in December 1996 and ending in October 98 which spanned 23 issues. AAG was created wholly on an Amiga 4000 using Amigas Page Stream publishing software and printed on a secondhand printing press that cost $2500. A black and white monthly magazine containing 40 pages of articles, product reviews and advertising available from computer shops that sold the Amiga here in Australia. This site archives for posterity the 23 issues of AAG in PDF format for download. It also seeks to acknowledge all those who contributed to its pages and the two AAG promotional events during its time. |

{How can you NOT think of the Amiga??} The Banana computer was first introduced in 1984, and was labeled as "Jr." to emphasize its affordability. This obscure computer system had a number of innovative hardware and software features. Many of these features were too far ahead of its time, and it had many shortcomings which ultimately doomed it to failure. |

The second book in my "Amiga Programming" series has just been published. Where my previous book concentrated mainly on using the functionality provided by AmigaOS, this book is about programming the hardware of the Amiga directly. Programming the hardware directly is known as "bare-metal programming", which is a technique employed by a large number of game and demo programmers in order to squeeze the last drop op performance from the system. |

This book is about programming the Commodore Amiga hardware directly, bypassing AmigaOS. It covers all three chipset versions released by Commodore: OCS, ECS and AGA. Each of the sub systems has its own chapter that explains the workings and provides a number of examples. Amongst the subjects covered are the audio hardware, the Copper, the Blitter, sprites and playfields. This book also covers using the disk controller as well as interfacing with joysticks, paddles, mice and the keyboard. By ing Edwin Th van den Oosterkamp |

What is Basilisk II? Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it allows you to run 68k MacOS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II. Basilisk II is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). |

description As a bit of an audiophile, the one thing that has always bothered me a little is the Amiga's perfect channel separation, also sometimes known as "drums on one speaker and the bassline on the other". This can cause the sound to feel unbalanced. {...} So here is my solution, called "BassMX". It takes the audio from one channel, filters it so that only the low frequencies are kept and mixes that with the audio from the other channel. In short, it mixes the bass. And it does that for both channels of course. |

If Forgotten Forever can be described as a Command & Conquer clone, this little beauty can surely be described as a Warcraft-II clone. The Dutch programmer 'Peter De Boer' has been working on this one for quite some time now, and his main goal is to make it the best amiga (ECS/AGA) strategic action game that is available. As you can see from the image to the left Peter de Boer is working on a total and complete conversion of the PC Warcraft-II game. He is converting all the original graphics in an Amiga 32-color version so that ECS-AMiga's wont be left out. And looking at the screenshot of the level-Editor he hasn't done a bad job! |

BBoot is a simple, minimal boot loader to load AmigaOS on QEMU emulated amigaone and pegasos2 machines. It is replacing the second level boot loader (amigaboot.of on pegasos2 and slb_v2 on amigaone) and makes booting AmigaOS on QEMU simpler and without needing a firmware ROM. The original amigaboot.of only works with the non-free pegasos2 SmartFirmware and slb_v2 is tied to U-Boot, whereas BBoot also works with QEMU's built in minimal Virtual Open Firmware (VOF) on pegasos2 or without U-Boot on amigaone. |

BeeBase is a relational, programmable database system with graphical user interface for Windows, Mac, Linux and Amiga. BeeBase is well suited for managing structured data with clear semantics that can be organized into tables and fields. It can be regarded as an application development environment where an application designer creates the database structure and user interface, and users of the application enter and process data on a regular basis. BeeBase is the successor of MUIbase whose development originally started on an Amiga in the year 1994. |

Amiga has released OS 3.5 and added official support for hard-drives larger than 4 Gigabyte. The previously released New Style Device (NSD), as discussed below, is now the official supported standard. It is important to realize that the added NSD support does NOT mean that software that uses a custom file system, such as Movie Shop, will now work with larger hard-drives. If this software didn't work without NSD, it still won't work with it. Also, hard drive applications such as DiskSalv, Ami-Back Tools, etc. will still not work properly, unless they are updated to support NSD. |

{...} Roosendaal wrote the first source files titled Blender on the 2nd of January, 1994, still considered Blenders official birthday. Originally, Blender was planned as an in-house application for NeoGeo; it grew from a series of pre-existing tools, including a ray-tracer built for the Amiga. This early version of Blender was intended to address a perennial frustration among creatives: when a difficult client requires multiple changes to a project, how do you implement those changes painlessly? |

Today Blender is one of the industry leaders, but it started quite small, three decades ago. If you ever wondered when and where some of the most iconic Blender conventions like "right-click select" or 3D cursor originated, its then, in the Amiga era, even before Blender was born. |

If you need a SCSI hard drive for your old computer, there are a lot of great options becoming available for a solid-state substitute. A great one of those options is the BlueSCSI, and Im not just saying that because I won a free one. Its because I won a free kit, so I got to put it together myself. |

One way of booting harddrives on the Replay is by using hard disk files (HDFs). The Amiga 500 (kickstart 1.3) had no native support for harddrives though, so we need to patch it in. We want to add IDE support to the kickstart, and this patch will, dont let the SCSI part of the name confuse you. I will not go into the details on why its called SCSI patch, but this is the one to use. Its a backward compatibility thing. |

Purchasing a video game these days frequently means clicking a button on a website, or buying a box off a shelf with only a code on a piece of paper inside it. But there was a time when buying a game used to mean you got a package of sweet sweet goodies. You could expect a well written manual at the very least, but often you would get maps, posters and fancy code wheels when you handed over your cash. And on the front cover works of art. |

A Short Word on AmigaDOS Scripts. Without getting caught up in semantics, AmigaDOS in this text refers to the command line portion of the Amiga computers' operating system. AmigaDOS is based on TRIPOS, but was expanded and added to by both the original Amiga team and then Commodore. One thing that remains basically the same is the parser for shell scripts, or sequence files as they're called in TRIPOS. The script parser is reasonably competent for a 1980:s home computer OS and can be used for solving real world made up programming problems. |

It would be ideal to read those PALs directly, however I dont have a compatible PAL reading solutions. Ive found some online but they are easily $800-$1200.

I bought an Amiga 600 on eBay that was in very nice external physical condition, but it wouldnt boot. Replacing the reset circuit capacitor didnt fix it either. Inspecting the board, I could see a lot of corrosion around many of the surface-mount capacitors. The board was beyond repair, at least with my skills. I searched online for replacement motherboards, and I found out about the Amiga 600 Junior. |

A lot of people use Meanwell power supplies as the replacements for the poor quality ones that came with the Amiga. Typically, the 50W variants such as the RPT-60B are used because it fits nicely inside an original Amiga power supply. I wanted to see if I could use a 75W PSU for heavily upgraded Amigas. Here is the journey. |

Over the past few years there have been many occasions where I've wanted to connect an old Hercules, CGA or EGA card to my VGA multisync monitor, but these require a converter - something I've never managed to acquire. Back in mid-2022 I started looking for an alternative, and quickly found one that appeared to fit the bill - the GBS8200 video converter. Sadly, I fell victim to the same false advertising as many when I purchased this board from a popular Chinese retail online store. The GBS8200 was attractively-priced at around 20 EUR, not including tax and shipping. In this article, we'll explore what this converter board can and cannot do, and my updates to successfully get it working on a retro PC. |

A few years back, the Andy Warhol Museum ran into an unusual problem. They wanted to display digital pieces the pop artist created on his Amiga 1000 back in the 1980s, but putting the vintage computers on the floor and letting the public poke around on them wasnt really an option. So the team at [Iontank] were tasked with creating an interactive display that looked like a real Amiga, but used all modern technology under the hood. |

The Amiga was a series of Commodore computers. They were based on the new (1985) 16/32-bit processors with added custom graphics and audio hardware. Amigas featured advanced video sprites and blitter technology that produced impressive graphics for games. Commodore also produced a line of professional (business) Amigas. |

I am finally authoring a blog post on an Amiga, albeit a emulator it seems to be working well. Using Final Writer 97 on CaffienOS. I am always amazed how many releases of Amiga OS there are and how many modern products continue to be developed. I believe the Amiga just refuses to die and lives perpetually at this point. Only time will tell whether a younger audience will come in to play and infuse more interest and this additional life. Many of us are getting older and that is the risk of the interest dwindling verses continuing to live forever. |

Welcome... This is my personal homepage, recently rejuvenated to talk about new and old ideas, not just in computing but also in science, engineering, architecture, and philosophy in general. These days Im a principal engineer at Roku and have contributed to a variety of Roku products over the last decade. So, heres the unabashed pitch: if you like streaming video, check out Roku. Theyre great! Back in 1985 I was lucky enough to introduce multitasking to the world of personal computers with the Commodore Amiga Operating System Kernel. Those were some fun days back when home computers were a new and exciting concept, a dream for many of us. I still enjoy designing operating systems and languages, although these days I tend to think most systems have become overly complex. But Ive got some theories on why that happens and some ideas on how to make things simpler, smarter, and just as effective. |

This site is dedicated to users of 8 bit Commodore Computer hardware. I had been doing consumer electronics repair work since 1964. I retired from my "day" job as a repair tech at the University of Washington in Seattle back in 2009 and likewise don't do consumer electronics repairs at home any longer... except for Commodore and related 8 bit computer hardware such as the C64 and C128 series and their peripherals. I don't repair the Amiga line or the PETs but I do make a replacement power supply for the Amiga A500, A600 and A1200 in addition to ones for the CBM C64, C128, VIC20E (early) and VIC20CR (late) and Plus/4 computers. {Ray Carlsen is a LEGEND!} |

This book is an introduction to the programming of the classic Amiga OS using C as well as MC68000 assembly language. For the novice it will be an introduction into the basics of the Amiga and its OS, for the programmer who used to do this 30 years ago it will be a nice refresher. Since this book is meant as an introduction it will not cover every single function call of every single library of the OS, nor will it cover every single flag or option for the functions that are covered. It will, however, provide a solid base from where you can start writing your own software for the Commodore Amiga. |

I wrote a set of programs for use with the Catweasel. My programs run on Linux, Windows 95, or MS-DOS and work with the Catweasel MK1, MK3, and MK4. They don't run on the Amiga -- sorry. Note: My Catweasel programs also do not run on Windows NT, 2000, XP, or 2003. I'm not sure if they run on Windows 98 or ME. The problem is that they talk directly to the hardware; they do not go through a device driver loaded into the operating system. |

I had the chance to re-cap my first CD32 this weekend and it was a version 3. The amount of capacitors reminded of the Amiga 4000T and some of them was put in very narrow spaces. Did a cap-map that can be used as reference by others (inclusive myself). |

The CD32 Gamepad is one of the worst controll devices I ever saw. When playing CD32 game I usually gets into troubles cause the left handed joystick replacement thing turns around and stops to work. There is a good CD32 Gamepad replacement available from CompetitionPro but it has the same disadvantage like any other Gamepads: They are all designed for left-handers ! Cause I am a right-handed person, I would prefer to controll the movement of a game character or spaceship with my right hand. |

I found this CD32 for a fair price, and bought it. The optical condition of the case is quite okay. It has some visible scratchmarks. The previous owner tried to fix them, but made it even worse. At that time, I wasn't aware yet that this would be the main theme of the whole restauration. Together with the console, I got a PSU and an edutainment CD for learning math. The PSU wasn't the original one, but a simple power brick with a CD32 connector soldered on. The gamepad was missing, unfortunately, but I found a Honey Bee joypad as replacement a bit later. Let's have a look inside the machine. |

In the first part I successfully repaired an Amiga CD32 that got broken due to leaking capacitors and a botched restauration attempt. In this part I replace the laser pickup and calibrate the CD drive. The old laser pickup of the CD32 might be worn out due to age and use. A common symptom is that the CD32 is unable to play CD-R media, or it is only capable of playing music CDs. There is no way to make the CD32 accept CD-RW media though, since they use a dye instead of pits that reflect too little light. |

I made a simple Workbench CD for the Amiga CD32, which can be used on an unexpanded machine. It needs no keyboard, can be used with only the joypad via an on screen keyboard. There are many game collection CDs available (some can even be used for listening .mods or watch .anims), but I missed the AmigaOS look'n'feel, so I made a system for myself. What can it do? You can listen to .mods, .sids, you can watch Amiga and scene related pictures, anims, try some games and demos, read documents (the complete AmigaDOS manual, the CD32 developer kit and many CD32 related articles from Aminet), you can browse other CDs, listen to audio CDs, and most of all, you can expand it to fit your needs, put your favourite games, demos, on it before you burn the iso, if you want. |

Connecting an old PC machine with a CGA video output to a modern VGA monitor requires changing the horizontal display frequency from 15kHz to 30kHz. Professional video scalers are very expensive devices, but fortunately there are popular Chinese alternatives, which cost only around 20$. The problem with them is that they rarely work out of the box. I will describe here how I forced GBS-8220 video scaler to display my Schneider Euro PC CGA screen on a Sony VGA monitor. |

Im on a roll upgrading the Amiga 1000. This time, I replaced the PSU fan. The Amiga 1000 PSU uses an ETRI Model 126LH metallic fan that is AC-powered 220/110V. These fans are pretty good, silent, reliable, and used in computers and industrial-grade equipment. However, they all suffer from a common problem: after long years of continuous use, the fan bearing starts developing an annoying grinding noise due to a lack of lubrication. |

Classic 520 is not a new project; the initial tests were already completed long time ago, back in 2016. HC508 is a nice card, but the 68000 lacks one important feature: the Vector Base Register.. VBR is used in 90% of WHDLoad stuff to support the quit key. Needless to say, every WHDLoad slave can be modified to support the quit key, even on a stock 68000 CPU, but back in the days people who wrote the slaves used 68020-030 based cards and there was no need to add those extra 10 lines of assembly code to handle the quit key without a VBR feature. Since I can't modify hundreds of WHDLoad slaves, I've decided to design a turbo board with a 68020 CPU! :) This is how the Classic 520 was born |

That initial sense of amazement at the Amigas unique capabilities is one of the reasons why the platform continues to have rabid fans some 30+ years later and why a small group of skilled enthusiasts have designed and manufactured a brand-new circuit board, dubbed the Amy-ITX, that brings actual Amiga hardware to the current mini-ITX form factor. |

The book assumes that there already is a working Internet connection on the Amiga. For Amigas that are emulated with WinUAE there is a short appendix that shows how to enable the built-in network stack of WinUAE. Paperback now available on Amazon |

Welcome to a very special Workbench - one that comes in Alien Green or Earthly Blue! This Workbench includes a design, dockbar (with hand drawn images) and programs put together by Paul the Green Amiga Alien , who sadly is no longer with us. He began a project that never got finished back in 2002, essentially wanting to create a Workbench pack for A600 users like himself. The work was never completed, until now... This release is dedicated to him and his contribution to the Amiga community over the years. Our memories are with you Paul, rest in peace. |

This is my attempt to get Samba 2.2.x ported to the Amiga. My first Amiga port required SAS/C and a number of strange tricks had to be pulled to get it to support the kind of environment Samba needed. But with the introduction of Samba 2.2.x many of those tricks did not work any more, which is why I decided to attack the problem at the root, namely the runtime library. |

This is a fork of official clib2 present in adtools. The point of this library is to make it Amiga OS4 only to maintain it easily and add all missing clib2 features that are hard to add also on classic amigas. Classic amigas has also ixemul that is the most complete, POSIX compliant, library we have. It is useless share code that most probably no one will use. Te goal is to try to make it POSIX compliant and fix also all C++ problems we have with newer compilers. All warnings (except really few one) produced by GCC 10 and above are now gone. All deprecated OS4 functions are replaced by modern one (except for StackSwap i don't find the replacement) |

So Cloanto has secured the rights to the Amiga brand for nearly three years now, since 2019, so far the biggest project I see them involved with (well simply licensing the Roms) to Retro Games LTD to allow them to make The A500 Mini. But what else are they doing, are they simply going to become a simple licensing business. Yes they do fund WinUAE development and keep providing Amiga Forever updates, but I feel they should and could be doing much more. |

This description is meant as addition to our AmigaOS4 feature list. For first impressions about the new functionalities, please have a read in the mentioned document. OS4's AmiDock allows to be configured by the user in a very high degree. Picture 1; shows 4 different examples of docks in icon mode. The top-most has a drag bar, and fully transparent backgrounds. If someone wants to see a border around a dock: no problem - this is shown in the second example. Of course you also can create a fully invisible dock which has neither a drag bar nor a border (third example). Finally we see a dock which draws a background, has a border but no drag bar. Of course it is possible to choose those styles for each different dock. |

From the very beginning, AmigaDOS has always been the orphaned child in the Amiga operating system. In the early days, the addition of the TRIPOS kernel as the basis for the Amiga Disk Operating System (DOS) was not the first choice, but circumstances being what they were, we finished up with TRIPOS, written in a language called BCPL. BCPL was a predecessor to modern C language and whether they realized it at the time or not, C was eventually to become the pseudo standard language for the entire Amiga Operating system and various components, as well as being a favored language for writing a vast number of applications. |

Development Project Management for AmigaOS4. Programming, in any language, can lead to a large number of text files containing source code. The bigger the project, the more files are usually involved, and keeping track of which file contains what can be a nightmare. So what is there that can help...? Designed purely for use on the latest version of AmigaOS, CodeBench is a management system that is modular to allow adaptation to various programming languages. |

Codecraft is the powerful IDE for developing software natively on the Amiga. Codecraft makes it easy for you as a developer to write code, then build, execute and debug your resulting program. And everything is at your fingertips in one unified user interface. Shows your project tree as a hierarchical list of source files, Provides easy modern text editing, Builds the project tree invoking your build system, Runs your resulting program & Does source level debugging with breakpoints and inspection of variables. The software is free. But it works as an extension to TextEdit so AmigaOS 3.2.2 or better is required. |

The Amiga was a spectacle of graphics and sound when it debuted in 1985. While it can trivially display colorful images like in the above example, doing so in the context of a game engine presents a lot of unique challenges. If you haven't seen the gameplay proof-of-concept video for Magicore Anomala, you can check it out here. |

Although there are literally hundreds of games and applications designed for and running natively on AmigaOS 4.x available from such venues as OS4Depot -- and thousands of such software titles designed for AmigaOS 3.x but fully compatible with our next-generation Amigas -- commercial software designed for AmigaOS 4.x isn't always well known. Since there are tens of such titles from software houses like Alinea Computer, APC-TCP, Airsoft Softwair, Hyperion Entertainment, and A-EON Technology, as well as from independent developers, there's plenty of choice but no single list of them. Hopefully this page addresses that. Developers are the life-blood of any platform, all the moreso with the Amiga. Let's support them! |

Intro. Commodore has played a very important role in the technological history. Thanks to Commodore and other companies, Computers were now accessible to all. The Idea of having a personal computer had now become a reality for millions of people, due to reasonable price. In 1994 Commodore has been liquidated but still has many followers and recently other retro suppliers started creating their own products with the Commodore logo. We dont know about trade marks legality for such devices but as long as there are companies and startups producing these items means that there is a huge demand for them. |

The Commodore 1084 monitor was Commodores flagship monitor, a monitor that worked with everything they produced in the late 1980s, including the C-64, the C-128 in 40 and 80 column modes, the Amiga line, and Commodores CGA-equipped PC clones like the Commodore Colt. Its versatility makes it popular with retro computer enthusiasts today. Not only does it work with almost any Commodore computer, it also works with a lot of non-Commodore computers. |

Three years ago, around the time I was first starting to collect vintage computer equipment, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Commodore C128D 8-bit computer and matching 1084S-D2 CRT monitor. According to the previous owner, the monitor seemed to work okay except for a broken power switch, which wouldnt stay engaged a common 1084 problem. However, upon arrival the monitor was completely dead no power LED, no display, no high voltage. Further investigation was therefore required. The first step was to dismantle the monitor, and inspect everything inside so as to try and locate the source(s) of our problems. |

The Commodore 1702 was a popular monitor designed for and marketed with the Commodore 64 in the early 1980s. While this is just my opinion, I think it was the best monitor Commodore ever sold. The Commodore 1702 monitor was a composite monitor that handled both standard composite and what we now call S-Video. Its gray-beige color matched the original breadbin-style Commodore 64 and 1541 disk drive. |

Looking at the Commodore 64 vs Amiga seems a little odd, at least to me. After all, the machines were never intended to be rivals. The Amiga was supposed to succeed the 64. Commodore bought Amiga because they couldnt make a 64 successor on their own, so they intended for the Amiga to replace it. It didnt fully succeed, and maybe thats why the comparison is still interesting. Looking back, the machines may seem similar today. But in 1985 they sure didnt. |

Much like the C64 Reloaded, the Commodore A1200 Reloaded will be a new motherboard using original MOS/CSG chips. It does not directly compare to any existing Commodore Axxx mainboard, but if you want a comparison basis, then an A1200 is probably the closest match. However, there are differences that also make it very much "not A1200". |

When I first got my Amiga 500, it wouldnt boot. Suspecting something was wrong with the A501 512K memory expansion, I pulled the card, at which point it did boot. It didnt take me long to realize that battery corrosion had killed it. |

Amiga 1200(also known as A1200) was a popular home computer in 90s which was a low-end version of high-end Amiga-s with AGA architecture, it had a Motorola MC68EC020 processor inside and a new advanced AGA chipset. It also had a hard drive inside in HD versions, so it was possible to install OS and use it as a very convenient home computer. Model was printed and tested on real keyboard and motherboard. |

In 1986-87, Commodore released the Amiga 2000. The machine was technically similar to the Amiga 500, but had a larger case and was designed to be more expandable. Costing around $1,500 (US), the Amiga 2000 was designed to compete with the much more expensive Apple Macintosh II (~$5,500) and IBM PC (~$3,000). Follow along as we crack open the second generation he Amiga 2000--the Amgia B2000-CR. Updated 1/8/2011: Dave Haynie, lead engineer for the Amiga 2000 (B2000-CR), has posted several comments about the Amiga 2000 and his worked on the project in this gallery's discussion forum. I encourage everyone to read his posts. And, I would like to thank Mr. Haynie for taking the time to share his experiences. |

Some months ago i have decided to upgrade the power supply of my Commodore Amiga 4000 with a good ATX power supply, compact and with a high amperage. I have found the SFX POWER 2 300w from the German Company: Be Quiet. The power supply is perfectly suited to my needs. Below the work was done, anything of complex if not fit the PCB inside the power supply of the Commodore Amiga 4000. |

Even though I have already replaced the capacitors in my A4000's PSU.. I just didn't trust it! Oh and the cooling fan was just too noisy! So I thought to myself, bugger it I've got a spare A4000 PSU, I'll convert an ATX PSU and refit it in the it's case. So the first thing I did was find an ATX supply that not only had enough current to supply the A4000, but was smaller then the original case so I knew the PSU PCB will fit the original Amiga PSU case. |

Commodore Amiga 4000 Rev.B PCB replica. This Eagle board-file has been generated in the early days of amigapcb.org from the polygon database for debugging and verification purposes. The export in its current state is not suitable for PCB manufacturing due to various issues, such as possibly wrong pad sizes or via diameters. A lot of work is probably required to get this board ready for production, but this should be a good starting point. |

The A600 and A1200 are very different from the Amiga 500. The A500 had a keyboard controller board on the back of the keyboard, and a serial interface to the mainboard. The Amiga 500 USB keyboard controller I built for that was a lot simpler in hardware terms, but a bit more effort to implement the serial protocol in the microcontroller. |

Since Ive been reverse engineering a DataFlyer Plus HDD SCSI expansion card for the Commodore Amiga, Ive needed to get a much better understanding of how the AutoConfig process works. Im by far no expert on it, but I have learned a lot and wanted to share a couple logic analyzer traces of this occurring in the wild. The Commodore documentation refers to these expansion cards as PICs or Plug-in Cards. |

How is it possible that a company that is ahead of competitors in 1985 takes 9 years to destroy everything? It was said that the previous Commodore computer (PET) was even better than Apple II, and with the Amiga that was not an exception. The Amiga had features like preemptive multitasking, a colour GUI, and hardware graphics and stereo sound that would not become mainstream on computers until over a decade later. However, the team that created the Amiga wanted more. They wanted to improve the product all the time. Executive Commitee didn't. |

Despite being essentially boring technology (ooo, I can just tell some people arent going to like that one), CD applications are taking off. First theres Kodaks PhotoCD system for storing pictures, and now along comes Commodore with CDTV. CDTV is interesting because its basically a wolf in sheeps clothing, or this case, a computer in CDs clothing. |

Much more unlike a traditional video game system, the Commodore CDTV was an attempt by Commodore to bring up a multimedia platform that could connect to a television. The console was launched in March of 1991, running on AmigaOS 3.1 and also functioning as an average Amiga computer with modifications. The very high price range, limited user support and poor sales made the CDTV a forgotten component of the video game console industry. |

Released 1991: The CDTV (an acronym for Commodore Dynamic Total Vision, a backronym of an acronym for Compact Disc Television, giving it a double meaning) is a multimedia platform developed by Commodore International and launched in March 1991. CDTV was essentially a Commodore Amiga 500 home computer with a CD-ROM drive, remote control, internal RF-modulator and MIDI ports. With the optional keyboard, mouse, and disk drive, it gained the functionality of the Amiga. |

The Commodore CDTV (Commodore Dynamic Total Vision) is a computer in disguise - as an interactive multimedia and entertainment system, designed to complement the typical home entertainment system. It was launched in March 1991 at the winter CES in Las Vegas, and was the first CD-ROM based consumer device on the market, although others followed shortly after. |

Over the years there have been a number of rumours that Commodore developed a follow-up to the CDTV. Many believed it was a CDTV with a DCTV built-in, others said it was an expanded machine with AmigaOS2, more memory, keyboard and disk drive. These rumours were confirmed in March 2000 when two machines appeared on eBay. The first was sold for $199, the second for $1000. A third prototype was owned by National Amiga, who sold it to Oliver Hannaford-Day, the CDTV.org administrator for $250. |

The Commodore 64 is by far the most famous and successful computer Commodore ever made. But there were numerous Commodore computer models over the years. Some were also successful. Some were complete flops. Overall Commodore had a good 18-year run, but it could have been so much longer and better. Lets take a walk through the Commodore computer models from the beginning in 1976 to the bitter end in 1994. |

{HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. A listing of virtually EVERY product Commodore ever made} Commodore Business Machines was founded in 1958 by an Auschwitz survivor named Jack Tramiel. After some time in the typewriter, adding machine, and hand-held calculator markets, Commodore became first company to announce that it was producing a consumer-friendly home computer (the PET 2001). Before they filed bankruptcy in 1994, Commodore had also managed to produce the worlds first multi-media computer (a picture of a c64) (the Amiga) , and what is still today the best selling computer model of all time (the Commodore 64). Although this once dominant company is no more, they still yet live in the hearts of those who loved and appreciated this early pioneer in the realm of personal computers. |

Information on this upgrade to the CDTV is nonexistant. One would speculate that it was indeed designed as a high end upgrade to the CDTV, or perhaps to be sold alongside the CDTV as an advanced model. Either way, the CR in its name denotes that it was at least considered a "Cost Reduced" model (despite the enhanced featureset). From what little we do know, there were about 60 of them made, with some featuring hard drives, and others without the flopppy drive (covered, as in an Amiga 3000). |

If youre a business leader, a manager, or a head of your department You may very well understand the importance of leadership. Ever heard the quote that says, A lousy leader may take a solid team and ruin it, driving the best workers away and demotivating the rest? A good leader may take a company to the heights of success while a bad leader may bring a company to dust. Something similar happened to the computer manufacturing company, Commodore. Before getting on to what led to Commodores failure, lets give you a small background of the company first. |

Commodores rise and fall are legendary, at least to people like me who grew up using their computers. Putting numbers to that rise and fall was more difficult. I dug up the Commodore financial history from 1978-1994 to help quantify that spectacular rise and fall. Its noteworthy that I had a hard time finding some of this information. I dont think Irving Gould, Commodores chairman and largest shareholder, wanted people to know this stuff. |

From time to time, I see the phrase Commodore stock scam or something similar come up in discussion or in books. Commodore, in case you dont know, was a high-flying computer company in the 1980s that was literally making computers as quickly as they could sell them while Apple struggled for its survival, and was in the enviable position of being the main supplier of chips for its competitors. Imagine if Intel sold computers at retail next to HP and Dell, while still selling chips to Dell. That was Commodore in 1984. I dont have 1984 figures, but in 1985, Commodore had 38% of the computer market all to itself. IBM and its clones, combined, had 49%. Apple had 13%. But a decade later, Commodore had squandered all of that away and was out of business. Thats why Robert X. Cringely sums up Commodore as Irving Goulds stock scam, then goes back to writing about Apple. The real story is more complicated than that. More interesting, too. |

Information on the sales of the Amiga throughout the world may be lacking in many respects. However, there are some figures available that indicate how many were sold during the Commodore era. These only show official figures, the number of Amigas world-wide has been estimated to be 4 times as much. |

Since the summer disclosure of an attempted management buyout at Commodore International Ltd (CI No 2,459), little has been heard of the Nassau, Bahamas-based parent company or any of its units around the world. Production ceased world-wide last April when the company decided to liquidate its assets, and since then the liquidators have been trying to balance creditor requirements with the search for buyers for the few remaining profitable arms of the company. |

When Commodore released its VIC-20 computer in 1981, one of the peripherals it also released was a matching joystick. Cast in white plastic like the VIC-20, the Commodore VIC-1311 looked like an albino Atari joystick from the same time period. The resemblance was uncanny, and Atari took notice. On October 11, 1982, Atari sued. |

So, I wont be wasting too many words on this partially because Im not into cheap soap operas, and partially because theres no way to know whats going on with this nonsense without dedicating a years worth of detailed study into the subject. So it seems that the company Hyperion, which develops and owns the rights to Amiga OS 4 and Amiga OS 3.2 has gone into bankruptcy proceedings. |

Hey adventurers, the team thought it would be a nice idea for me to write about my latest episode of Magical Synth Adventure. In the video, I run a guitar through a 1991 Amiga 500+ Computer, though pretty much any Amiga computer can make these sounds, including emulation options. Here, I can add a little more detail to proceedings, plus the hardware & software requirements of this, er, adventure. |

What a difference a few extra MHz, a couple of megs of RAM and hard drive storage make to a standard A500. A whole new world of productivity and ease of use is opened up. So why not take the next step and ditch those boring icons and smooth out the fonts while keeping the OS lean and more usable? Classic Workbench provide packages of very handy prebuilt Workbench installs, however for my requirements, I wanted all the eye candy while keeping the system as fast as possible. So I rolled my own, so to speak... |

I recently purchased an external floppy drive the for the Amiga which was sold as untested. Unfortunately untested in this case meant doesnt work and someone did a bad attempt at repairing it. There were parts of the drive physically broken and it was beyond repair. I lucked out because unlike the Rotec drive I repaired in the past, this one uses a standard floppy connector inside. So, instead I decided to convert a PC floppy drive to work in the case. |

It can read and write raw bit sequences directly from and to the disk via DMA or programmed I/O at 500 (double density) or 250 kbit/s (single density or GCR)... CopyLock - Rob Northen Computing |

There's a lovely device called a pistorm, an adapter board that glues a Raspberry Pi GPIO bus to a Motorola 68000 bus. The intended use case is that you plug it into a 68000 device and then run an emulator that reads instructions from hardware (ROM or RAM) and emulates them. You're still limited by the ~7MHz bus that the hardware is running at, but you can run the instructions as fast as you want. |

January 2, 2000. Within the past few days, ownership of the Amiga rights, trademarks and technology passed from Gateway to Amino Development. People have asked for COSA's opinion on the sale, and for comments how this affects the campaign to open-source the AmigaOS. We believe the sale of Amiga to Amino is a good, positive step forward for the Amiga community, and that the new owners of the Amiga technology rights are the right people to steer the Amiga technology into the new millennium. |

Commodore Amiga 2000/3000/4000 I2C controller as Zorro-II card. This controller is software compatible to M. Boehmer's ICY board. The main difference between the original ICY card and this design is that the PCF8584 I2C controller chip is mapped indirectly to the Amiga bus here. This way, occasional mis-configuration of the PCF8584 bus protocol and timing issues can be worked around. While the main purpose of this board is to provide an I2C controller, there are some optional on-board extras. |

The Amiga platform took the world by storm in the 1980s. Developed by a crack team and brought to market by Commodore, the OCS chipset brought high-quality graphics and sound into the home computer market in a way never seen before. These capabilities cemented the Amigas place in the demoscene, and it maintains an active development community to this day. [Hoffman] is one such member of that community, and has shared some of the hacks that go into pulling off a banging soundtrack in a cutting-edge A500 demo. [Hoffman] does a great job of explaining all the tricks involved in creating a compelling 5 minute soundtrack in just 200 KB of RAM. Theres discussion of compression, sample sizes, and the vagaries of the ProTracker format. Smart hacks such as prioritized sample loading and pre-rendering drum loops also help to get the project over the line. |

My first programming experience was Basic on a ZX81. Then my step-dad bought me a c64 and I was hooked. And I have been a software developer ever since. When I was lucky enough to get an Amiga, I started with Amiga Basic while dabbing in Kuma Seka Assembler, learning the ropes. Eventually Blitz Basic came onto the scene and it was a perfect match since it compiled to real binaries (real machine code, as opposed to bytecodes or P-Code as it was called back then), and allowed users to write inline assembly side-by-side with basic statements. |

As a retro computing enthusiast, we where inspired by Rob Smiths Arduino Floppy Disk Reader project to develop a version specifically tailored for AmigaOS4. This journey was not without its challenges, but thanks to extensive modifications and deep system-level work, I was able to make it a reality. Waffle, now allows AmigaOS4 users to read old Amiga floppy disksa task that was previously impossible due to the incompatibility of modern hardware with floppy drives without external hardware like Waffle. |

This will involve the vbcc toolchain, much as it did when we were setting up a toolchain for the Atari ST. Fortunately, the process has been simplified a bit since the last time I checked in on them. |

Choose a brand below to see a list of all available CRTs in the database. Alternatively, narrow down your perfect CRT by feature using the CRT Discovery Tool. The Database is still being populated and more CRTs will be added every day. The goal is to have a comprehensive list of all worthwhile professional and consumer CRTs ever produced. |

On earlier computers, most arrangers hard-coded all song data in the driver and even adjusted the driver to the songs, making them inseparable and impossible to hear outside games without ripping code as well. {...} Although the Amiga may have popularized interchangeable music file formats with MOD, many Amiga arrangers still hard-coded music, which to this day demands the CUST format. |

Perhaps the most famous Amiga text editor for programmers was developed 25 years ago (1986/1987) by Bruce Dawson, Colin Fox & Steve LaRocque (CygnusSoft Software) and was originally self-published. Even back then, CygnusEd distinguished itself by its high performance and robustness. Development on CygnusEd proceeded at a steady pace in those following years. CygnusEd was one of the first programs to feature an ARexx interface, and was the first Amiga text editor with an Undo/Redo feature. Many Amiga programmers "grew up" with CygnusEd and a considerable part of the Amiga software library was created with CygnusEd. |

Since the advent of liquid crystal (or LCD) monitors and televisions with LED backlighting, and the replacement of the Scart / Scart socket by the HDMI port, it is become difficult to obtain a satisfactory image of his Amiga provided with a Scart socket. Thorsten Schubert worked for a few years on a device that could convert the analog video signal of the Amiga Classic (as well as the audio signal) into a digital signal, thus making it possible to use a monitor with an HDMI port. The result is the D520 , the first version of which dates from 2019. The D520 is therefore an adjustable external box with a generator of scanning lines or "scanlines" managing the specificities of Amiga resolutions. It converts the analog video (and audio) signal from your Amiga computer to a digital version that can be displayed on a monitor, TV or projector with digital video input. |

The purpose of the DataTypes Library is to provide tools for handling data in an object-oriented way. The object-oriented approach means that your application can work with numerous data file standards without having to worry about the complex details of each one. Instead you only need to understand the simple conventions of the library. The DataTypes Library is built on Intuition's BOOPSI facility (BOOPSI is an acronym for Basic Object-Oriented Programming System for Intuition). Although not required, it is very helpful to know a little about how BOOPSI works before trying to use the DataTypes Library. Some familiarity with object-oriented theory and practice is also helpful, though not required. |

The obscure software synth wonders of the Commodore Amiga hold up today as unique sound creation instruments. And as early as 1985 they offered real-time polyphonic synthesis, thanks to the onboard Paula chip. Paulee Bow shares their deep dive into a wide assortment of these in a new documentary and makes the platform tantalizing enough that even generations born long after the Amiga may find themselves booting an emulator or hunting flea markets. |

(Google Cache) There was a request on Amiga.org from user A6000 (a long time ago!) and more recently CD32Freak, for the DCE A5000 photos. I managed to find the original photos and here they are. The DCE A5000 (and A6000) was an unreleased machine, but it was ractually existing in prototype form when it was shown at the Computer 97 show in Germany. I picked up this flyer while I was at the show. I believe there also exists some photos of the actual motherboard. I will take a look for it, but it may be also available on the web. |

Yellowed cases give our ancient computers character, right? Err...that's debatable. I expect most collectors (including me) would rather have them looking like they did out of the box all those years ago. Thankfully since around 2009, variations on a Retrobright remedy have been available, most of which involve using hydrogen peroxide, UV light and laundry activators to reverse the effect. Ive experimented with this myself with good results. Disappointingly, Ive also found the Retrobrighted items can re-yellow over time even though stored in almost complete darkness! |

It's been 12 years now since I switched from my classic Sony CRT television (with Scart RGB input) to a progressive CRT display. I've started using linedoublers back then to enjoy the more vibrant picture a progressive tube can provide. About 8 years ago I've switched to a LCD television and have upgraded quite some times since back then to better models (from a Samsung 32" to a LG 32" to a Sony 52" XBR5 and currently ending up with a 52" Sony HX905). Videoprocessors (enhanced linedoubling devices) has been a central part of my setup since back then. While I own a XBox 360 and a PS3 I still like to play classic videogames. I like my PC Engine, I love my Saturn and the PSOne's got a nice collection of classic videogames as well. In addition I've got a PS2 which provides a nice lineup of titles for everyday's use. For years I've strived to gain the perfect picture on my LCD display. I've test lots of different video devices and by setting up this little page, I want to provide an overview on what's available on the market today. {this page covers dozens+ on devices that will allow an older device to connect to modern display hardware. Definitions, write-ups, pictures, screenshots and more!} |

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a killer app, that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it. I can personally attest to Deluxe Paint as it compelled even my technophobic mother to buy into its potential. |

{TRANSLATED LINK: Czechoslovakian} A long time ago, I did a speed comparison of AmigaOS and MorphOS computers, and many people found it interesting that old Powermacs from 2005 are faster than some NG Amigas, even ten years newer. Sometimes this topic is mentioned over and over again on all amigaphoras. I was also interested in why this is so, so I took a look at how individual CPUs in AmigaNG look and why they differ so much in terms of performance. Well, when I found out what such exotics as the PPC440 core (Sam440ep, Sam460ex) or even the e500v2 core (A1222 Tabor) look like, I thought that it would be worth doing systematically. And this article gradually emerged from that. It will not be history according to dates, but according to the development of processor architecture. I try to explain abbreviations and unfamiliar terms in the text, and at the end there is also an Explanations section, where everything should be found. |

DiagROM is a diagnostic tool for the amiga computers. And it is to be used on defective machines, trying to help no-boot situations etc. You simply replace the Kickstart roms in the Amiga with the DiagROM. and when poweron. your Amiga will start a diagnostic software. It will try to dump info on the serialport (and actual menus etc aswell) while also trying on the screen. |

DICE-NX is a C compiler suite for Commodore Amiga computers and for Motorola 68000-based embedded systems. It is a fork of the DICE product developed by Matt Dillon of Obvious Implementations Corp in the 1990s, now relicensed under the BSD License. DICE-NX aims to restart development of DICE with a focus on the modern retrocomputing scene, including support for the latest AmigaOS 3.2 line. DICE-NX is currently early in development. There is no packaged release yet, and building DICE-NX may be challenging! |

Adapter to fit the older 1MB Agnus to the A500+ . The 8375 Agnus needed for Amiga 500+ is getting expensive and scarce so this adapter is designed to allow you to fit the much more common 8372A and other 1MB Agnuses from the A500 It also has the ability to take 1MB of DRAM on board instead of the harder to source DIP20 DRAMs needed for an Amiga |

There was a time in the late 80s and early 90s where the Amiga was the standard for computer graphics. Remember SeaQuest? That was an Amiga. The intro to Better Call Saul? Thats purposefully crappy, to look like it came out of an Amiga. When it comes to the Amiga and video, the first thing that comes to mind is the Video Toaster, hardware and software that turns an Amiga 2000 into a nonlinear video editing suite. Digital graphics, images, and video on the Amiga was so much more than the Video Toaster, and at this years Vintage Computer Festival East, [Bill] and [Anthony] demonstrated what else the Amiga could do. |

Back in the days of 16-bit home computers, the one to have if your interests extended to graphics was the Commodore Amiga. It had high resolutions for the time in an impressive number of colours, and thanks to its unique video circuitry, it could produce genlocked broadcast-quality video. Here in 2023 though, its all a little analogue. Whats needed is digital video, and in that, [c0pperdragon] has our backs with the latest in a line of Amiga video hacks. This one takes the 12-bit parallel digital colour that would normally go to the Amigas DAC, and brings it out into the world through rarely-used pins on the 23-pin video connector. |

Everyday workhorses just expected to be there and do their thing so that you can get on with your life. On the Amiga, one such program is Directory Opus. The biggest irony of AmigaOS is that even though it shipped with a complete desktop environment called Workbench, its mouse-driven file management always felt a bit clumsy. This is where Directory Opus comes in - but it's much more than just a small tool for shuffling files to and fro. |

A quick and dirty adapter that allows you to use a 27C4096 in place of a 27C400. Note this adapter is wider and taller. Amiga 500, 2000. May fit the A600 or other systems that need a 27C400 pinout. You may need to remove the socket and solder this straight in, and or solder the 27C4096 into the adapter... It's up to you! |

A Windows package to use Floppy Disk Images Files & Non/PC Real Floppy Disks in Windows, directly. I wanted to be able to access floppy disks from my Amiga, and other formats without having to boot an emulator. I wanted to be able to open a disk image file (like ADF, IMG etc) in Windows in the easiest way possible, as well as be able to use a real floppy drive too and see whats on it. So I decided to build this - which allows you to view and edit the contents of real disks and disk images directly from Windows Explorer, and yes, you can even read non-PC floppy disks in real time too (hardware required). |

DiskMaster2 is a file-manager for AmigaOS that I received the sources for in 1997 from Greg Cunningham. Over the course of more than ten years I moved it forward removing all assembly parts, porting it to GCC putting endless hours into it and countless lines of code and then adapting it for OS4 and using GUI classes when I was at first part of the AmigaOS4 Beta-Testing and later the Development Team. Around end of 2008 I gradually moved on and away from AmigaOS without realizing it at first. |

So instead of buying another old more or less battery acid damaged unstable card, why not make brand new PCBs and solder them for yourself? |

For more than 3 years, I devoted a lot of time working on the aiostreams package for the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, making online video and audio streaming easier for the user, especially for websites that are resources hungry like YouTube and Twitch. Those websites need a lot of power and a strong web browser to work, which plenty of times the AmigaNG systems do not have. So I created a few python scripts, which can also be used on other system like Lnux and MacOS. |

Can you run Doom on the Amiga? No, not really, and arguably that was one of the causes for the computers demise in the mid-90s as it failed to catch up on the FPS craze of the PC world. [Krzysztof Kluczek] of the Altair demogroup has managed not exactly to remedy that status with the original article, but to show us how a potential contender couldve been designed for the unexpanded Amiga hardware back in the day. |

vbcc is a highly optimizing portable and retargetable ISO C compiler. It supports ISO C according to ISO/IEC 9899:1989 and most of ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99). It is split into a target-independent and a target-dependent part, and provides complete abstraction of host- and target-arithmetic. Therefore, it fully supports cross-compiling for 8, 16, 32 and 64bit architectures as well as non-8bit-byte-based architectures. |

DrawerGenie is a commodity for Amiga OS that lets you add basic toolbars to Workbench drawer windows. These give you some simple DOpus-like functionality in Workbench, for example, defining a destination window and sending selected files to it, copying and pasting files, switching view modes, sorting files, packing/unpacking archives and more. File operations show a progress bar, are asynchronous and can be cancelled. DrawerGenie is an entry into the 2023 Amiga Tool Jam in the Commodity category. |

Users of many modern computers are used to the concept of dual-booting, where you can select from distinct operating systems when you turn the computer on. Linux, Windows and even Mac can all let the user pick an OS depending on what their particular requirements are but sadly not the Amiga. Or can it? {...} It turns out, with a little basic AmigaDOS know-how its pretty simple. Lets show you how, with a quick tutorial on choosing an OS based on Kickstart version. Here were using an A2000 with a hardware Kickstart switcher, with 1.3 and 3.1 selected with a switch on the back of the machine. |

Documenting the development of a new Amiga AGA and OCS version. Dune II on the Amiga was a really popular game. Most gaming magazines gave it rave reviews and it can consistently be found on "Best Amiga Games Ever"-type lists. Despite all of those accolades, the game on the Amiga wasn't as good as it could have been... My goal is to document the creation of a remake of Dune 2 for the Amiga from scratch the way it was meant to be released and to right all of those wrongs and more; there was no native PAL support, for example. I was on the original Dune 2 Amiga team at Westwood. Even though I did the bulk of the Dune II conversion, leaving Westwood before it was released was something I still regret, and so I want to give the Amiga community the Dune 2 experience they deserve. |

This is a version of UAE, the Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, with an emulation core largely based on WinUAE. It attempts to bring many of the great features of WinUAE to non-Windows platforms. This version now finally has a name, E-UAE, since that's what everybody was calling it anyway. The 'E' can stand for anything you fancy. Experimental, extreme, exciting, egalitarian, eggplant, . . . Currently it will build and run (with a varying degree of supported features) on Linux and other Unices, Mac OS X, BeOS, AmigaOS itself (either for 68k machines or PPC machines with AmigaOS 4.0 and the AmigaOS clones MorphOS and AROS). OS X requires either LibSDL or an X server for graphics output, but native graphics are supported on AmigaOS and BeOS, although, at the moment, SDL is also preferred on BeOS since the native driver is incomplete. |

The startup and venture capital world went through a boom from 1981 to 1987. In hindsight, it was a precursor to the 1990s technology boom and bust (a much larger bubble). Three failed products exemplify the boom well: the Commodore Amiga, the Apple Newton, and the Go PenPoint OS. These promising failures show that the line between extreme success and bankruptcy can be a thin one. Product specs, marketing plans, and market readiness are important but are difficult to gauge. |

Note: This is an ongoing work-in-progress version of the Scorpion Editor for Windows and the included Commodore Amiga game samples. It isn't feature complete, is likely to have more than a handful of breaking bugs, and may not work on every Windows configuration - Windows 10 is the recommended OS. Updates will be released on an "early and often" basis. |

Emotion is a powerful multimedia player specially developed for AmigaOS 4.x. The easy-to-use interface, deliberate limitation to required basic functions, as well as optimization on operating system functions, makes Emotion to a software that integrates perfectly into the current AmigaOS. The use of FFMpeg as subsystem for video and audio decoding (through AmigaOS specific shared libraries) allows emotion to access proven and powerful technologies in the background. Due to the Reaction based interface in combination with optimized operating system functions and FFMpeg as a decoder, Emotion understands itself as its own interpretation of a multimedia player which is not just a port of existing open source projects but tries to connect tried and tested technologies with the ecosystem of AmigaOS. Emotion looks like an AmigaOS software, works like a its an AmigaOS software!s |

PPC64, the architecture of the IBM POWER4 through POWER7, is big-endian. The POWER8 through POWER10 also have a little-endian mode, which is why PPC64LE is significantly more common nowadays, even though these newer processors can still switch to big-endian mode. Read on below for Dockerfiles that you can use to run the two inside Docker on amd64 via multiarch. |

Tragically, developers have stopped creating software that will run on a 68K Macintosh. But thankfully, old Mac aficionados have some options. What follows is a list of software that will run on your emulated Macintosh. I'm a big fan of System 7.5.5 (which is free), so I've only listed software that is compatible with it. These titles have all been tested to work in Basilisk II. And, of course, the software should work on a real 68K Mac. |

Enter the hard drive era... Besides upgrading the memory and processor, I also added on a hard drive expansion on the left hand side of the A500 case. This expansion was the Dataflyer 500. There were several different versions of the Dataflyer depending on the specific Amiga. It can be inserted as a card into the Amiga 2000, sidecar expansion like the 500, or completely separate box for the Amiga 1000. |

extract-adf is a tool that extracts files from (broken) Amiga OFS ADF/ADZ/DMS disk images. It will create all files with the correct directory hierarchy and the correct timestamps on the local filesystem. It is specially optimized for broken filesystems, and can recover as much as possible even on those. One use case is to extract the leftover files on the Kickstart 1.0 disk. |

Flash-based HN62402 ROM and 27C400 EPROM emulator for vintage computers and arcade machines. The Amiga, like many other computers of the late 80s, uses 16-bit wide mask ROMs to store the machine firmware. Unfortunately, the pinout of these ROMs is incompatible with the JEDEC defined EPROM pinout. F2R16 brings all the benefits of modern flash memory technology to any platform designed to use these obsolete devices. |

fbdump is a simple tool that captures the contents of the visible portion of the Linux framebuffer device and writes it to the standard output as a PPM file. In other words, it takes a screenshot of anything running on the framebuffer. It currently has fairly complete support for packed-pixel framebuffer types and also works with the VGA16 framebuffer driver. |

The information on the diskette can be deleted and/or updated. The recording process is similar to audio tape recording where sound waves of varying amplitude and frequency are recorded on magnetic tape--but there the anaology ends. |

{Translated from French} The Boing Ball ("bouncing ball" in French) has been the emblem of the Amiga since its first day and, as we will see, even before! This animated audio-visual demonstration has established itself as the de facto symbol of the technical superiority of the Amiga compared to its competitors from the mid-1980s: PC, Macintosh and other Atari STs. The Boing Ball was the first "graphic" of the Amiga, ahead of the icons designed for the Workbench and the famous Kickstart hand displayed on the first Amigas. It is still widely used today by the Amiga community in all areas. In this article, we will delve into its history, its creation, its various uses... in short, take a complete tour around the most famous animation on the Amiga! |

MNT ZZ9000 is a graphics and ARM coprocessor card for Amiga computers equipped with Zorro slots. It is based on a Xilinx ZYNQ Z-7020 chip that combines 7-series FPGA fabric with dual ARM Cortex-A9 CPUs clocked at 666MHz. The current version has 1GB of DDR3 RAM and no eMMC soldered. This repository contains the sources for the FPGA logic as well as the miniature "operating system" that runs on the ARM core 0 and instruments core 1 for user applications. |

I wouldnt really call this an upgrade as such, more taking advantage of the latest developments in the Amiga scene. In case youve never heard of it, the Gotek drive is basically a 3.5? Floppy Drive emulator. Instead of putting floppy disks in it you plug in a USB flash drive that can contain up to a thousands Amiga Disk Files or ADFs (floppy disk images). |

As I mentioned in the previous post, I wanted to expand the chip RAM to 1 MB to play some WHDLoad games. With the new adapter this is possible without motherboard modifications. However, there is one problem with the modification: when installed, my Vampire 500 V2+ accelerator doesnt fit in the Amiga anymore! The solution is quite simple: from two 64-pin DIP sockets and some ribbon cable its possible to build an adapter that moves the Vampire few centimetres away from the Fat Agnus socket and leaves space for the chip RAM adapter. I first thought about making some PCBs for a more solid adapter, but there is a capacitor right next to the CPU socket, and fitting a PCB there would be difficult. The flexible ribbon cable leaves more space for the capacitor. |

The Amiga computer made several appearances and references in The Simpsons, a popular animated TV show known for its humor, cultural references, and pop culture nods. Throughout its long run, The Simpsons featured a few episodes and moments that involved Amiga-related content or mentions. While The Simpsons did not heavily feature the Amiga computer, the shows occasional references to the iconic computer system demonstrate its cultural impact and popularity during the 1990s. |

A1200s produced by Amiga Technologies (Escom) had been shipped with a PC-type floppy disk drive, resulting in many problems with trackloading games. AT had to modify the mainboard to make the Panasonic JU-257A605P drives work on an A1200 (by redirecting the _CHNG signal and cutting off the _RDY signal). The following steps describe how to revert these modifications. |

The venue is relatively centrally located in Germany, making it accessible to as many vintage computing enthusiasts as possible. In the coming weeks, there will be more information about the program and a schedule. The Flashback Symposium is platform-agnostic, bridging the gap between demo parties, user meetings, and digital holiday camp. The goal is to spend 3 days seeing as many familiar faces as possible, forging new friendships, in a relaxed, entertaining, and familial atmosphere. |

The Amiga FlashROM solution from OnyxSoft is a OpenSource project which is intended as a drop-in solution for Classic Amiga kickstart ROMs. The project is based around the flash chip AM29F800BB from AMD (and other manufacturer). This chip can (if used in the right pin configuration) be a direct drop-in solution for the older EPROM styled chipset like AM27C400 but have the advantage to be by nature easier to work with since it's a flashrom and does not need a special eraser for UW light etc. |

In an office in the city of Santa Clara California, 1984, a team of designers worked feverishly on a custom chipped computer built around the Motorola 68000 processor. Many may know the story of how Jay Miner, Dave Needle, R.J. Mical, Dave Morse, and perhaps even Mitchy the Dog came together to create one of the most legendary single computer models of all time, the Amiga. Often neglected in this story telling is another legendary designer, Bruce Artwick. According to Computer Gaming World, Artwick had been plucked away from SubLogic's Illinois offices and was working just as frantically on the Amiga as any other on that team, though with a slightly different goal in mind. |

This project started in 2015. I had 300 floppy disks that I kept from my Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 period. I planned to buy a second hand Amiga after I sold them for a new PC. That of course didn't happen. The data stored on the floppy disks was mostly my personal files, videos, music modules, painted pictures, 3D objects and renderings etc. And a complete backup of my system and data files. I wanted to reconstruct the files that I used to have. However, the Amiga disk format is not something any PC could read, at least not in Windows in a simple way. The disks were in a poor state with fungus and dust. So I set out to clean them. The 3D printable Floppy cleaning kit was a result of this. |

The FluxEngine is a very cheap USB floppy disk interface capable of reading and writing exotic non-PC floppy disk formats. It allows you to use a conventional PC drive to accept Amiga disks, CLV Macintosh disks, bizarre 128-sector CP/M disks, and other weird and bizarre formats. (Although not all of these are supported yet. I could really use samples.) |

Whilst they worked very well with FAT32 drives attached, I had no end of trouble trying to work out how to partition, format and mount as a native Amiga disk. For everything below, you'll want to use this bootdisk. |

Finally Version 3.2.0 of FreePascal is released. This is the first final release contains the Amiga style systems fully usable. A while before I did some extra work to also create an Amiga-sytle installer, which will be also released with this. Today I will also release the 3.2.0 FreePascal packages for Amiga 68k, Amiga OS4, AROS for ARM, AROS for i386 and MorphOS. So basically all versions except AROS for x86_64 because thats still too unstable to use (mainly the AROS 64 bit is still a moving target and I was not able to fix that, because AROS is simply not working after the last changes and my last questions about it got just ignored) |

As I go further down the Amiga memory lane rabbit hole, I ended buying a few actual real Amigas. The 600 and the 1200 both have an internal hard drive which allow the latest Workbench to be installed and booted from. Of course part of the fun in being able to do this from scratch. Turns out Id forgotten a lot about the process, and on top of that a lot of new things have emerged since the last version of Workbench I used back in the days. For example, here Ill be using Workbench 3.2 here so Im not limited to any disk or partition size. Im also installing the OS on a SD card plugged in to my TF1260 cards IDE port so some steps below are specific to that. |

The story of Amiga is not just one of a forward-thinking computer design, even though that design became the standard for the systems we enjoy even today. It is also a story about the clash of industry titans, of a series of seized, as well as missed, opportunities. And, of course, there was a dramatic, last-minute, rescue. |

Gameloft is readying a total of 15 games that'll arrive within the next 12 months and launch simultaneously on both platforms. {...} The recently-acquired Amiga Games will churn out 50 titles of its own onto Microsoft's desktop and mobile OS before year's end, and could bump the total up to 500 afterwards. |

Gaming magazines can be simultaneously a challenging and an invaluable source for early histories of digital games and gaming. They were often produced and sold at low costs to make them affordable to their often young reader base. {...} These magazines offered the readers a sense of belonging within specialised communities. Understanding the homosocial aspects of the culture that, in our case, German gaming magazines represented therefore means understanding gaming magazines not only in their written contents, but also in their style. |

It appears that the generally accepted best way to play Amiga games these days is via WHDLoad on an Amiga 1200 (either emulated or real hardware) expanded to oblivion with a turbo card and lots of extra RAM. I disagree with this notion for a number of important reasons: Its suboptimal {...} Its inauthentic {... &} Its unnecessary |

Gateway managed to possess the Amiga for twice the time of the previous owner, yet did nothing with it. After buying Amiga Technologies in 1997 from the remains of Escom they set about developing a new system based upon the Amiga philosophy of simplicity and efficiency, coupled with close ties to digital TV technology. |

Amiga pulled from the ashes of bankrupt ESCOM. After what sometimes seemed like an infinite delay, the latest chapter in the Amiga saga has finally come to an end, or perhaps more accurately, a transition. Gateway 2000, a major US PC manufacturer, has made an offer to acquire the assets of Amiga Technologies, and the future, if nothing else, is wide open. For any who may not have seen it, here, once again, unaltered, is the press release from March 27th, 1997. |

Gateway 2000 (GATE) today announced plans to acquire former multimedia leader and currently bankrupt Amiga Technologies. Gateway believes the acquisition of the German company, an early groundbreaker in multimedia technology, combining computer graphics, animation, and film sequences with stereo sound, will bolster its position with intellectual property and improve its stake in emerging technologies, while rescuing the company from liquidation. |

An automatic monitor switch between an external VGA source (eg flicker fixer) and the RTG graphics is integrated. Compared to a PicassoII + board this card 76% faster on a A2630 on the important RectFill () function in P96-Speed. Further performance results can be seen here. |

Later new Amiga compatible systems came and effected my daily computer usage. This also had an effect on Geit.de and the stuff I provided. In the beginning I used Amithlon on a Pentium3 with AmigaOS 3.9, while today I am using the Pegasos2 G4 1Ghz with MorphOS. The Pegasos system was also used as fallback webserver, when Geit.de was offline for some reason. Over the years Geit.de got tweaked and enlarged. I introduced the hardware section where I present my computer systems. Especially the home made hardware stuff was always loved by the Geit.de visitors. At least that is what I got from the access logs and the feedback. |

AmiGemini is a browser for AmigaOS that supports the Gemini protocol. Gemini is sort of another http network which is called Gemini. It is heavier than gopher but lighter than the web we all know today. I have been using AmiGemini since the first release and it is therefore very cool to see active development of it. |

One feature that space does not allow for now is the ability to have software control of pixel switch disable. Now this is done with a mechanical switch. Pixel switch disable allows the user to completely ignore background video, yet have the Amiga computer genlocked. This eliminates the problem of software having to be written with genlock in mind. |

Stop getting tricked by people! Amiga is not a 16-bit computer. It is a 32-bit computer as AmigaOS is 32-bit. Amiga is not an 8-bit sound computer. It is a 14-bit audio-capable computer which means that all Classic Amiga computers are able to play 14-bit audio. To get 14-bit Audio on any Classic Amiga. You dont need AHI and you dont need to hack it. The 14-bit possibility is a feature of the Amiga hardware. So, lets make a deal? Stop saying that Amiga audio is 8-bit because the true fact is that it is 14-bit. It means that Paula can produce almost CD-quality audio. You will also get rid of the Paula noise too. |

Turns out that Commodore, in their infinite wisdom, killed off Say back in 1992 with the release of Workbench 3. As my A1200 is running the very latest Workbench 3.2.1. it simply wasnt included and hasnt been for a great many years. I couldnt leave it there though, I really wanted Say on my Amiga and wasnt going to settle until I made it happen. Thankfully the fix turned out to be pretty simple, provided you can lay your hands on an old Workbench floppy disk that is! Luckily I have loads of old workbench disks going back to version 1.2 so finding the files wasnt too difficult.. |

GL4ES is a OpenGL 2.1/1.5 to GL ES 2.0/1.1 translation library, with support for Pandora, ODroid, OrangePI, CHIP, Raspberry PI, Android, Emscripten and AmigaOS4. This is a library provide OpenGL 2.x functionality for GLES2.0 accelerated Hardware (and of course also support OpenGL 1.5 function, sometimes better than when using GLES 1.1 backend) There is also support for GLES 1.1 Hardware, emulating OpenGL 1.5, and some OpenGL 2.x+ extensions. |

GL4ES is an OpenGL 2.1/1.5 to GL ES 2.0/1.1 translation library, with support for Pandora, ODroid, OrangePI, CHIP, Raspberry PI, Android and AmigaOS4. For AmigaOS4 translation done via ogles2.library (written by Daniel "Daytona" Muessener), and which in turn works on top of warp3dnova.library (written by Hans de Ruiter). Minimum requirements for ogles2.library are 2.8 and for warp3dnova.library it should be 1.65 With GL4ES we have not only OpenGL1.x as with MiniGL, but OpenGL 1.x, OpenGL2.x and even some limited OpenGL3.x support. Also it is faster than MiniGL and bug-less. Written by Sebastian "ptitSeb" Chevalier. AmigaOS4 version handled by kas1e, but all actual AmigaOS4 related code still done by ptitSeb. |

I dont usually go to many Amiga parties. In that sense, this year has been well above average, as I actually made it to three: a local retro meet-up in March, my demogroups annual reunion in August, and the Amiga40 event the previous weekend. Im happy to report that the fun factor kept rising with each one, with Amiga40 being the definite highlight. |

Nowadays, using classic Amiga hardware-hitting software on AmigaOS 4 systems is possible thanks to the remarkable work poured into UAE. However, running Amiga software on an Amiga system through such an indirect mechanism feels kind of awkward. glUAE makes the emulation experience perfectly natural by transparently integrating the emulator into the system, thanks to the AmigaOS flexibility and the UAE configurability. |

If you use Workbench and often run multiple programs, you know how cluttered the screen can get, making it difficult to find the window you're looking for. GoVD extends your Workbench screen to up to eight virtual desktops, making it much easier to manage your workspace. You decide which Workbench windows and programs are displayed on each desktop. Just switch desktops, and everything is neatly organized. With GoVD, you can break free from the limitations imposed by Commodore's traditional desktop layout and take control of your workspace. |

Here is something very special for all of you. It is an absolute treasure. My Friend Thomas Cherryhomes is doing some incredible stuff with the history of Amiga and early graphic programs. Here is an early version of GraphiCraft as well as a beta version of Kickstart (v0.7). You will need to use this beta version of Kickstart in order to run GraphiCraft as well as an NTSC mode A1000 configuration. |

AmigaOS 4 drivers exist for different graphics cards but each platform specific version of AmigaOS only inlcudes a limited number of drivers for cards supported on that platform. Also QEMU can emulate a number of graphics devices but most of these are not supported by AmigaOS. Therefore it is a problem to find a combination that works and provides good results without much effort from users. This page discusses the different options for graphics card emulation and meant to be a place to collect information about this topic and to give inspiration for potential contributors who may want to look into one of these. |

This is for archiving your amiga collection of disks so you can store them on modern computers and use them in Amiga Emulation to replay your old classic Amiga disks. I show both command line tools and GUI interface. |

Read and write Amiga format floppy disks using a PC or Mac! Plug a floppy disk drive into Greaseweazle and then connect it to a USB port. Use the software to read or write an Amiga format floppy disk - it even supports ADF files. This adapter is great for backing up Amiga floppies to image files WinUAE supports Greaseweazle in beta currently: this lets you insert/eject real Amiga floppy disks and they appear on the Workbench. Read and write to them as if you were using them on a real Amiga. |

Guru Meditation started as an error notice displayed by the Amiga computer when it crashes. It is now also used by Varnish,[1] a software component used by many content-heavy websites. This has led to many internet users seeing a "Guru Meditation" message (or the variant "Guru Mediation")[2] when these websites suffer crashes or other issues. It is analogous to the "Blue Screen of Death" in Microsoft Windows operating systems, or a kernel panic in Unix. It has also been used as a message for unrecoverable errors in software packages such as VirtualBox[3] and other operating systems (see Legacy section below). |

If you have been programming the Amiga for a while you have most certainly seen your nice Amiga blow up in front of your eyes. However, the Amiga is a nice computer, and if it crashes it will try to do that as neatly as possible. You are usually (!) allowed to save any important files, and when the Amiga goes down it will give you a last message, trying to tell you what went wrong. Many programmers have not realized how important that last message is. For them, it is just a collection of strange numbers. But those numbers can actually tell you what exactly went wrong, and once you know what went wrong, it is usually no problem to find the bug. |

In yet another Amiga post, lets talk about adding networking to an older machine. The big box Amiga systems, (2000, 3000, 4000) have the ability to add a Zorro network card. The 600 and 1200 allow for adding a PCMCIA network card, but there are some issues with those (well get to that). But if you have anything else, youve been in a much harder task to get some networking. You can use a serial interface and good old PPP/SLiP but instead, were going to talk about something else. The PLiP Box and the GuruNet. |

Blame it all on BBC, the British Broadcasting Company. I like BBCs radio programs, but as my favorite operating system is Mac OS 7.6.1, there has been a problem called Real Player 8 (RP8). Regular OS 7.6.1 lets you use RP5, and the Appearance Manager brings RP6 (a.k.a. G2) in the game, but the BBC Radio Player needs RP8 to work. |

The Hall Of Light (HOL) is an attempt to catalogue all games that were released commercially for the Commodore Amiga. Most games in the database are of the boxed, commercial variety but there are exceptions: Licenceware games are considered commercial enough to be included. Shareware, freeware and general Public Domain games are generally not present but they may be added if they form a fuller picture of a commercial person or entity. A number of unreleased Amiga games are referenced. The status of these games varies; some exist in a near-complete or demo form while others never progressed beyond the announcement stage. Some Open Source conversions (e.g. Doom) and games playable through interpreters (e.g. ScummVM or Exult) are listed. These are considered 'native' Amiga games. There are no downloads of the games in the database as the HOL is solely concerned with providing information. The HOL is a non-commercial project and does not generate any money. |

ham_convert is a freeware (also free for commercial use) graphic converter written by Sebastian Sieczko that can convert a normal jpg/gif/png/tiff/jpeg2000 image to one of the graphic modes of the Commodore Amiga. Its main use is to produce high-quality hold-and-modify (HAM) images using brute-force search. It can produce ILBM IFF files (Amiga graphic modes: EHB, HAM6, HAM8, 2/4/8/16/32/64/128/256-color indexed, PCHG 4/8/16/32/EHB modes). |

Looking back at the launch of the Commodore Amiga and its groundbreaking significance, on its 40th anniversary. On July 23rd, 1985, at a black tie event in the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City, computing changed forever. That sounds pretentiously portentous now, but the step up from 8-bit to 16-bit was a comparative quantum leap when placed alongside the slight improvements in graphics between console generations in the 2010s. |

Amigakit a UK long-established Amiga store have developed their own custom Amiga compatible emulation system, similar to the A500 Mini but designed to be a much more complete and advance system. The system is powered by Orange Pi Zero 3, which is another Arm CPU based system, very similar to Raspberry Pi boards. {...} The board feature a easter egg name "Good Stuff" an Amiga tradition to take a Song name from The B52 music band, something almost all classic Amiga had. The GS part of the name A600GS can however both mean Good Stuff and Gaming System according to AmigaKit. |

As an owner of an expansion card with its own storage connector (e.g. in Vampire V2, Icedrake V4, PiStorm, etc.), you face the problem that displaying the operation of the device via LED activity on the Amiga 1200 is not possible. Unfortunately, manufacturers have neglected to include this feature in their extensions. The solution to this problem is the HDD LED adapter for the Amiga 1200, which provides 2 separate inputs. This allows the activity of, for example, hard drives or the PCMCIA port to be displayed using the original LED module on the Amiga panel. |

Dipping our hands into this rare bucket, we've also pulled out images of a D-44 Amiga development system - only 100 of which were ever made - in addition to a prototype Amiga 2000 called The Ranger, which never made it into production. |

HID2AMI is an HID mouse to quadrature waveform converter and HID Gamepad adapter for the Amiga (and C64, Atari 7600, AtariST also..) series of boards; it allows ANY modern HID mouse (not limited to PS/2-USB) and almost ANY (*) modern digital/analog Gamepad to be connected and enjoyed with our Amiga computers. (*) At the moment it has been tested against dozens of different gamepads, but working for each and every existing Gamepad cannot be guaranteed; nevertheless, if you find a Pad which does not work with HID2AMI, you are encouraged to contact the author and supply him its "HID Report Descriptor" to be investigated. |

A huge number of Amiga games contain hidden messages, sometimes encrypted, and often left deliberately to abuse the crackers of the games. There is a great thread on the English Amiga Board that contains a large number of secret messages, but it quickly became a nightmare to check if a particular game had been listed (as the thread is currently 23 pages in length!) For this reason, I have assembled all the messages into one page, and sorted them alphabetically. Enjoy! |

HippoPlayer is a music player for macOS, Windows and Linux that mostly focuses on music made for systems such as Amiga, C64, and gaming systems. While HippoPlayer supports MP3, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, etc it's not the main target. The original HippoPlayer is something I used a lot when I had my Amiga. Over many years I tried various players and while some of them hold up none of them has been what I been looking for. Before starting this project I looked around quite a bit for alternatives and nothing really fit the bill. |

In the beginning. The Amiga was conceived by Jay Miner. Jay was working at Atari when he came up with the idea for a super games computer. At Atari Jay had done much of the design work on the Atari 800 8-bit computers as well as the earlier Atari VCS. But since Atari was making cash 'hand over fist' from the arcade craze and the home video games, it wasn't interested in his plans for an advanced 16-bit home computer based upon the Motorola 68000 CPU. |

With modern consoles offering gamers graphics so photorealistic that they blur the line between CGI and reality, it's easy forget just how cartoonishly blocky they were in the 8-bit era. In his new book, Creating Q*Bert and Other Classic Arcade Games, legendary game designer and programmer Warren Davis recalls his halcyon days imagining and designing some of the biggest hits to ever grace an arcade. In the excerpt below, Davis explains how the industry made its technological leap from 8- to 12-bit graphics. |

Christian Simpson better known to the retro computing world as Perifractic from the YouTube channel Retro Recipes has just pulled off what might be the most audacious fan move in tech history. He bought Commodore. Not a Commodore computer. Not some Commodore merchandise. The actual, honest-to-goodness Commodore brand itself. |

In a nutshell, Hombre is a collection of utilities aimed at users of low end Amiga models (like the A500) who want to transfer files from their PCs. It is both versatile and easy to use. All the software crammed onto the disk comes from legal sources and can be freely distributed (this compilation is NOT for sale). The major change in Hombre v1.01 is the addition of ProNet that lets you access Amiga's drives via WinUAE running on your PC (sort of like DNet from the previous version but works with later kickstart revisions. I've been using it with the ClassicWB P96 pack which has ProNet pre-installed). |

On July 23th, 1985, the Commodore Amiga 1000 was introduced to the world. A true leap in computing history. A 4096-color palette, 4-channel PCM audio on a 16-bit Motorola 68000. One of the most revolutionary was the ability for true multitasking. Or, more fancy, real-time round robin pre-emptive multitasking. Something no other system could do in 1985, actually having multiple processes running. We love Amiga here and we love our set-up in the museum. We hope you agree :) |

Whenever a LCD monitor comes around, it's worth testing if it's suitable for Amiga use. According to sources, this one partially supports Amiga screenmodes - I gave it a try, or two. Let's quickly run down the features of the monitor. This is the "partial support" information gathered from famous website 15khz.wikidot.com: 'No practical evidence. I kindly ask author to provide more information. Support is considered "Partial" for now. "Full" can be after test.' |

One of the memories of my geek childhood is, without a doubt, the frenetic rivalry between Amiga and Atari, which I saw from the sidelines of my Amstrad CPC. Both systems, launched very closely in time, were called to replace the previous generation, 8-bit microcomputers, in our homes This left a level playing field between the two contenders, the Atari ST and the Commodore Amiga, who were fierce competitors and whose user bases developed the same loyalties and hatreds {...} |

You can do so for example by inserting some ADF (preferably a copy, or an empty one!) to your Amiga emulator. Make sure your emulator settings allow for writing to ADF files. Format the disk (ADF) if required, then extract lha to that disk. |

Back on the Atari ST and Amiga illegal copies were a big problem. It's impossible to stop, but it was often worth trying to at least make it hard for copies to get cracked and distributed. For some reason, we suspected press versions might be a source of leaks. So for Ambermoon, I implemented a fingerprinting mechanism. And lo and behold, it helped us identify a leak! And now that I've released the source code, I can more easily show how I did it. |

One of the most common questions about the Amiga is how many units were sold during its lifetime. According to various sources, the Amiga line sold an estimated 4 to 5 million machines worldwide. However, exact figures are difficult to come by, and there is some disagreement among experts about the actual number of units sold. |

The Amiga platform has exhibited amazing longevity for something so plagued by problems. And for a platform with such problems, it's been an excruciatingly slow march to resolve matters. Amiga is still running a twenty-year old operating system on chips that haven't been updated in over eleven years, and is only able to use anything modern through emulation or as an add-on card. What other platform offers accelerator cards faster than the main CPU by a factor of ten? Enter QNX Software Systems, contracted by Gateway in 1997 to create a desktop operating system based on its embedded QNX Neutrino micro-kernel environment. QNX was a significant player in the embedded industry and had a reputation for efficient, real-time systems that oversaw everything from medicine drips to auto-assembly robots. It looked like such finely-honed technology would be the proper bridge to the second coming of the Amiga. Appearances, however, can be deceiving. |

It was 30 years ago this week that Commodore released its landmark, long-time-coming Amiga 1000 computerthe first 1990s computer in a field full of 1970s retreads. Yes, it was a 1990s computer in 1985. It had color and sound built in, not as expensive, clunky, hard-to-configure add-ons. It could address up to 8 megabytes of memory, though it ran admirably on a mere 512 kilobytes. Most importantly, it had fully pre-emptive multitasking, something that previously only existed in commercial workstations that cost five figures. It was so revolutionary that even NBC is acknowledging the anniversary. Being a decade or so ahead of its time was only the beginning of its problems, unfortunately. |

For cable providers, the Amigas capabilities for displaying content on a television were a bit of a godsend. Previous offerings, such as the Atari 800, were able to put messages onto a television screen, though not without much in the way of pizzazz. As a result, the Amiga quickly became the cable industrys computer of choice in the pre-HDTV era, especially after the release of NewTeks Video Toaster in 1990. Video Toaster, which at first was only compatible with the Amiga, made it possible to do complex video editing at a small fraction of the cost of specialized professional video-editing platforms, and that made it popular with public-access TV stations. |

The advantage of having up2date crosscompiler for amigaos4 probably have no needs to explain, as everything move forward, and even on amigaos4 we had to move even by small steps. While for having cross-compiler at all there is very good reassons: speed and ability to use all range of helpfull tools such as cmakes,autoconf and scripting languages, but for having updated cross-compiler there is even more reasson: ability to use c++XX till c++17, thread support in c++XX, bugfixes (and new bugs, of course:) ) and all the fancy stuff which come with new gcc. |

Rather than buy a solution, I opted to build one using my horrible soldering skills and drafted in one of my many 3D printers.

I found myself needing to update my Amiga 500 to Kickstart 3.1 to support my IDE device, which is a combo IDE / 8MB Fast RAM and uses an SD to 2.5 inch IDE adapter to utilize a 2GB micro SD card. That aside, I know that its possible to patch the 1.3 Kickstart with SCSI device drivers and then be able to boot Workbench 1.3 from the IDE but I didnt want to mess with all of that, didnt have the patience and just really needed to test if the IDE part of my IDE / 8MB Fast RAM combo worked. As with all things that I try to do, I find bits and pieces of information that I tend to compile into a fully working solution. |

Amiga monitors arent always the easiest thing to come by. Of course just about every Amiga sold was also sold with a monitor. But sadly, many of the monitors werent as reliable as the computer. So being able to connect an Amiga to a TV helps. There are several options, and while some are far from ideal, most of them are suitable for playing video games. And these days Im sure youre a lot more interested in Shadow of the Beast than you are in Amiga Word Perfect 4.1. |

Being able to write code on any system for AmigaOS 4, and test it easily, is the main topic for this post. I will try to describe below what are the available tools and how this can be done with the easiest, in my opinion, way. Of course, what I propose here is not the only way to do things, but this is my way. And this post covers only code that is written in C or C++. For other programming languages, a different approach may be necessary, although some parts might be the same. |

Why? Some old computers are limited to 16-bit PCMCIA slots, such as the Amiga A600 and A1200 systems. This restricts them to 802.11b WiFi cards which used the initial WEP (RC4) security standard. {...} This makes Prism2 based cards quite useful since most current access points will still support 802.11b radios provided they match the configured security requirements. There is a catch for Amiga users though - the card firmware cannot be updated using an Amiga. And 20+ year old PC laptops with 16-bit compatible PCMCIA controllers are not so common any more, making this upgrade quite a challenge. |

After several years of hard work, my Amiga floppy drive stopped working leaving me in trouble... do I have to buy a new drive (but several disks are in bad condition too), buy a floppy emulator (nice but expensive for retro fun) ... or try to use my Raspberry PI other than as xbmc player? |

You know you can read and write MS-DOS formatted floppy disks on your Amiga drives? You know IBM Compatible machines CANNOT read/write Amiga disks in their drives? What CrossDOS does is install a device driver on your Amiga and allow you to read and write MS-DOS formatted floppy disks. |

Amiga lowlevel monitor. Have you ever wanted to get an Action Replay on your A1200, A3000 or A4000 ? If the answer is yes, then you should have a look at HRTmon. HRTmon is a monitor for your Amiga, which doesn't use the libraries. You can invoke the monitor at any point. Even if a game or a demo switched off the interrupts. Once in HRTmon you can watch all the memory, disassemble, edit, save, etc... and continue, as if nothing happend. You don't have to care about any picture address. ALL the CHIP-memory can be edited transparently.br> |

Automated installation of Amiga OS 3.9, 3.2, 3.1.4, 3.1, Kickstart roms and packages for Classic Amiga. HstWB Installer is an application, which can automate installation of Amiga OS, Kickstart roms and packages with additional content. Creating new harddrive images for Classic Amiga and installing Amiga OS, Kickstart roms, ClassicWB, WHDLoad games and demos properly can be a cumbersome task unless you spend a lot of time figuring out how this is done step by step. This is where HstWB Installer comes to aid and can help simplifying installations and make it possible for almost anyone to do with very little knowledge about Amiga. |

Source code to the 1980s Amiga product, version dated 1992. A fellow named Matthew Kott reached out and asked me to release the source code to HyperCache if I still had it, so I dug around, and sure enough I did, so I opted to post it here on Github. For various legal and liability reasons, I cannot open-source it at this time, but it's yours to explore and tinker with for nostalgia. If anyone still has Lattice C out there, I'd love to hear if it can still be compiled! If there's sufficient interest, I'll look into the logistics of open-sourcing it. For now, though, it remains (c) 1992 Silicon Prairie Software. Authorship: Primarily Dave Plummer, though it was initially kindled by a sample that I found which showed how to hook the disk driver, and that code likely remains. Also, I ultimately hired someone to work on V2.0 once I got to Microsoft, as I was pretty busy, but now I don't have a name! So some of the code was written by someone else on contract, but I'm still trying to figure out who! Thanks to Matthew for thinking to ask! Dave |

Hyperion Entertainment confirmed that at the end of December the source code to AmigaOS 3.1 was leaked, which is now causing problems for the company continuing to develop this proprietary operating system. Hyperion owns an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to AmigaOS 3.1 granted by Amiga Inc following Hyperion's development of AmigaOS 4, which is derived from the v3.1 code-base. Because of this deal with Amiga Inc, the source leak of AmigaOS 3.1 is causing big problems for the company even though AmigaOS 3.1 is more than two decades old. |

People, this is an interesting thing to follow first-hand. Hyperion, the company behind AmigaOS4, has been talking about its Most Ambitious Project for a while now, but on December 31, they started teasing the Amiga community like crazy. They opened a site called a-eon.com, which is most likely about the MAP. |

Delphi and C++ builder developers will probably not have much interest in this, but as far as general IT news goes, this one is attracting interest far and wide due to the sheer absurdity involved. To be honest I also think that the case itself serves as a warning to companies and developers in general, because this truly is the best example of how bad things can go if you dont manage your patents and rights properly. |

Without any additional driver the primary port is active (Kickstart 2.05+ is required with scsi.device). IDEfix driver is required to enable the second port or to use a CD / DVD device (as the default scsi.device in ROM doesn't support it). CF master / slave mode is selectable via a jumper. Connector for IDE activity LED is also available. The controller is RDB compatible: HDToolBox and HDInstTools can be used for disk partitioning. |

IFF (Interchange File Format) is a general purpose data storage format that can associate and store multiple types of data. IFF is portable and has many well-defined extensions that support still-picture, sound, music, video, and textual data. Because of this extensibility, IFF has fathered a family of special purpose file formats all based on IFF's simple data structure. IFF is most often associated with the Commodore-Amiga computer and originated on that system. IFF is fully supported by the Amiga operating system and is used for storing virtually every type of data found in the Amiga's filesystem. Initialization files, documents, temporary data, and data exported from the clipboard may all be stored using the IFF format. |

Thanks to Andy - and an intrepid Amiga owner who typed in the text and sent it to Andy - ViewPort is able to reprint that article in its entirety.

ve wanted an Indivision AGA Mk3 flicker-fixer for quite some time but have been stymied by a combination of Brexit and Covid-19. Individual Computers actually halted all shipments to the UK in December 2020 as a direct result of this situation. Undeterred, I kept checking the situation periodically to see if it had changed. Sure enough, towards the end of April I saw the news Id been waiting for. Shipments to the UK were back on! I quickly ordered myself one and waited patiently for it to arrive. Happily I didnt need to wait for long as it arrived within a week and with no extra fees to pay too! Needless to say it was taken straight into my man cave to open it up! |

Weve spoken with one of the co-founders of British game developer legends Sensible Software. Sensible Software remains one of the most iconic names in gaming history, celebrated for its innovative designs, sharp humor, and a catalogue of unforgettable titles. From Sensible Soccer to Cannon Fodder and Wizball, the studio helped define an era with games that were as diverse in concept as they were groundbreaking in execution. |

The Amiga is one of my all time favorite computers and a chance encounter via the Museum of Computing, where I volunteer, offered the opportunity to interview Dr Tim King and his wife Jessica about their important contribution to the release of the ground breaking Amiga 1000 computer. Without the TRIPOS operating system the Amiga's launch would have been seriously delayed. I am very grateful to Tim and Jessica for allowing me to take up so much of their time on the day of the interview. This was my first multi-camera, multi-mic interview! I hope you enjoy this fascinating interview. |

Ask chart-topping, multiplatinum producer Calvin Harris for the secret behind all of his recent success and he'll answer you with remarkable honesty. "Luck! Pure and simple," he says with a grin. "I'd been sending out demos and CDs for years. I knew my stuff was good enough, but I was getting nowhere. Then, three people - my future manager and two publishers - happened to send one of my tracks to EMI publishing in the same week. All of a sudden, they were interested! |

This is the SMD2000 BUSHFIRE, a mini-DTX sized edition of the Amiga 2000. It is designed to fit into a Silverstone ML09 case. This project was begun in July 2023 and is now nearing the end of development... The Why? question got asked a lot when I first told our local Brisbane group what I was doing. The short answer is because I want to and I can, and its led to a deeper understanding of how our machines work. |

{...} Then came the Video Toaster 4000. Powered by a Commodore Amiga, it revolutionized the field of cheesy transition FX and crappy word art graphics. To announce the new product, Team Toaster released this infomercial featuring celebrity testimonials from pro skater Tony Hawk, magician Penn Jillette, and sentient mayonnaise smeared on white bread Wil Wheaton. It was impossible to watch this short and not think to yourself That cost how many thousands of dollars?? Still, it looks better than 85% of the movies we cover at RiffTrax. |

A horizontal SHMUP for the line of classic Commodore Amiga computers, Inviyya will feature 6 unique organic levels each with its own enemies and bosses, couple of special weapons, 3 layer parallax scrolling and nice music and sfx. Should work on every existing Amiga with at least 512k Chip and any other form of 512kb extra RAM (chip, slow or fast), PAL or NTSC ( for NTSC I recommend some slight acceleration above standard 7mhz 68K. Game is playable as it is, but it will look smoother in a couple of situations with a bit extra oomph.). |

Irving Gould was a Canadian financier and chairman of Commodore International. Although its an oversimplification, journalist Robert X. Cringely dismissed the once high-flying computer company, which had 60% of the market in 1984, as Irving Goulds stock scam. Gould was a bit of an odd fit to be running a computer company. He knew finance, but admitted in 1988 that he didnt know how to use a computer. Gould never sought the spotlight, but with Commodore, the spotlight found him. Gould had other financial interests, including a shipping company called Interpool. He sold Interpool in 1978 and made $25 million. Michael S. Tomczyk, a former Commodore employee who wrote a book about Commodore in 1984, estimated Goulds personal wealth at that time at $100-$250 million. |

ISOCD-Win is a C#/.NET Windows replacement for the native Amiga ISOCD application written by Carl Sassenrath and other developers at Commodore. It creates bootable ISO image files which are compatible with the Amiga CD32 and CDTV. It was written to avoid the need to run the original ISOCD application either on a real or emulated Amiga, thus greatly simplifying and speeding up the process for the creators of new CDs for Amiga computers and consoles. |

I purchased my first Amiga 1000 in October 1985 from Chaney Computer in Newport News, VA (and I have reason to believe it was the first Amiga sold in the state). |

Ok folks, I'm compiling a list of what has caused flaky operation of the Amiga computers. This is a very unpopular subject with Amiga worshippers, but it should be one to pay particular attention since it can harm any product faster than obsolescence and DOES cause untold user-hours of frustrations. Flakiness affects everyone and everything from product development to end-users and especially service. |

This is an implementation of the Amiga AmiStore application in Java. The reason for implementing a clone is, because the Amiga native app didnt let me login. (So I couldnt buy anything.) Nobody could help me resp. tell why I cannot log in. Thus I helped myself and went into the rapid hole black box analyzing the communication between the server and the application. The result inst a feature complete relica. Furthermore it doesnt bother to make it pretty with images from the offered products, etc. And it probably doesnt behave well if errors are encounter. But nevertheless it fulfill my needs to buy stuff from the store. Maybe others can have use of it, too. |

Karl Jeacle. June 1997. Spring 1995 saw the launch of Sun Microsystems' new portable programming language, Java. It took some time before multi-platform support became available, and it established itself as a technology which could bring interactivity to the WWW. Two years later, Java is still a buzzword in the computing magazines, and people are starting to realise that it has potential to do a lot more than just run "applets" on web pages. |

The 1992 AUI interview with Jay Miner has become an important artifact to understand the pre-Commodore era of the Amiga, and learn about the development of the Lorraine prototype. However, it was not the first time the magazine had interviewed the man behind the machine- Jay had also gave the magazine an exclusive interview four years previous. At this point in time he was still bitter about the decisions made by Commodore and the direction that they took the Amiga. The interview is scanned from the June 1988 issue of Amiga User International and saved in JPEG format. Hopefully the former publishers will not mind it being distributed to a wider audience. |

Unfortunately, both magazines went bankrupt and at some point the publisher did too. About 2 years later a new PC Joker was released with a new cast (new publisher)! Unfortunately, this joker was only alive for a little less than a year. This website is dedicated to these 3 magazines, the editorial teams and everything around them! You will also find many complete editions of the Amiga & PC Joker as well as the special issues. Have fun reading and reminiscing! |

That means that you just need to plug it in, configure your emulator to use the HID-device and start playing! |

The main aim is towards 68030-68060 processors, using CPU-only conversion, although you can find the occasional oddity in some darker corners of the archive. The main aim of this archive is to provide a fairly broad range of fast and easy-to-use c2p routines, so all other programmers need not re-invent the wheel. |

Things happened. 2021 Covid lockdown Amiga nostalgia bought 2 of them one without keyboard. Needed keyboard. Checked auctions 160EUR for a beater; 200+ for a good one. With shipping and import tax would not make sense. Found offers for mechanical keyboards in several places presales accepted, zero on stock. Checked how the Amiga keyboard is made and started grinding. |

A magazine dedicated to retro gaming culture. Although our articles are usually focused around releases published on the Commodore home computers (Plus/4, VIC20, C16, C64, C128 and M68k, AOS 4.x, Aros, MOS) our primary goal is to refresh the amazing atmosphere of the 80/90s when the world was ruled by pixels and chip-music. |

Kooky Tech is a blog for those who enjoy the more quirky side of technology, which includes alternative operating systems, obsolete systems and new developments for classic computers and consoles with a healthy dose of nostalgia. I grew up in the home computing boom of the late 80s/90s, started on Commodore 8-bit machines, fell in love with the Amiga and continue to enjoy these systems today. Dan Wood |

It is time for me to share my latest creation with you guys. This is a project I am working for quite some time now, and I believe that will help people set up and use AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS anywhere, as long as Qemu v10+ is available. My new project is called Kyvos, and pronounced as kee-vos. It comes from the Greek word ????? and it is translated as cube. Now, how is it connected with Qemu? Kyvos is a Qemu frontend designed to help users create AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS emulated environments on Linux, macOS or Windows systems. With Kyvos I prepared a manual of more than 70 pages, describing step by step all that it needs to install AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS and how to set them up, in the most easy way. |

Developing for the Amiga used to involve reading dense programming manuals and trial and error. In contrast, developing these days can be as simple as barking orders at ChatGPT to spit you out some Python code. However, that technique doesnt work so well for Amiga languages, as ChatGPT hasnt read much about the now-ancient platform. However, as covered by AmigaNews, there is now a ChatGPT model trained specifically on Amiga development. Enter Amiga Guru. |

We spoke with pixel artist and programmer Jim Sachs about everything from Defender of the Crown to virtual aquariums. American Jim Sachs is one of the true greats in the area of classic pixel art. He is particularly known for his work on the Amiga, where he was responsible for the graphics in one of the platforms most important system sellers, Defender of the Crown, as well as Ports of Call, which was a favourite here in Norway. However, his career didnt end there, and if you were impressed by virtual aquariums around the turn of the millennium, it was probably his fish you were looking at. |

Hi 8-bit friends, today well talk about another mighty computer of the 80s: the Amiga by Commodore, one that I really love (I still have my original 500 model bought when it came out). In my case, for example, I want to keep the real Amiga machines as safe as possible: an emulated one comes really handy for this purpose, and also its really easy to take it on the road, since the two ingredients are a Raspberry PI (here I use the RPI 3 model B, but other RPI models are supported as well) and a Linux distro called Amibian. |

The basic permission bits (protection bits in AmigaOS) have been broken in Linux' AFFS - it would only set bits, but never delete them. Also, contrary to the documentation, the Archived bit was not handled. Let's fix this for good, and set the bits such that Linux and classic AmigaOS can coexist in the most peaceful manner. |

Amiga computers were renowned for their multimedia capabilities. As early as 1985, an Amiga 1000 could display static images composed of 4096 colors or animate 32-color screens. This was way above the graphical abilities of the other personal computers on the market at that time. With dozen of applications such as Deluxe Paint or Lightwave taking advantage of these abilities, the reputation of the Amiga as a graphical workstation was well deserved. Can we load a modern image on the Amiga and manipulate it with, for instance, Deluxe Paint? |

A long-lost Andy Warhol portrait of Blondie singer Debbie Harry from 1985 that has been hanging in rural Delaware, is going up for sale, we hear, for potential millions. The Harry portrait and a signed disk of 10 Warhol images was created on an early home computer when Warhol was an ambassador for a now-defunct tech outfit. Nearly 40 years ago, the famous artist signed on as a brand ambassador to early tech company Commodore and created a portrait of the Heart of Glass singer on an Amiga 1000 home computer as part of a promo at Lincoln Center. |

Loonies is an Amiga demogroup founded in June 95 by Psycho, Tiny and Tarmslyng. In all Loonies productions the overall design is quite important, and we prefer not to make too traditional boring standard productions. Normally we have some theme or other overall idea going through the demo, and we try not to violate this by some routine or picture not fitting the overall design. A production by Loonies can be marked as a Livitas Production. Livitas means crazy, weird, absurd, insane, and a Livitas Production is therefore somewhat absurd and weird etc, and should not be taken too serious.. |

It was in the late summer of 1985 when I first heard of the Amiga. I learned about the forthcoming system in an issue of Personal Computing magazine that featured the Amiga on its cover and contained an in-depth dive into the what was the most amazing computer by an incredible margin I had ever seen. The specifications I read and the photos I saw within made such an impact on me that I wrote a post to this blog about the magazine itself, A Look at the Sauciest Magazine I Ever Owned, about ten years ago. |

What happens when a major figure in the art world has created works on a system that is decades-old and whose images are stored on potentially unreadable media? That was exactly the problem that faced a team of student researchers, curators, and perhaps most significantly, artist Cory Arcangel, in relation to the files created by the legendary Pop Artist Andy Warhol on the Amiga. |

This board gives a pixel-perfect HDMI output from your Amiga 500 using a Raspberry Pi Zero (not included). It is a brand new version of the CPLD RGBtoHDMI for Amiga 500/500+. The Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero 2W (not included) goes through the board to make it extra low profile, it easily fits under an accelerator that is on a relocator, such as a TF536. If you have a revision 3 Amiga 500 motherboard, you will need the CSYNC clip option. All other motherboard revisions will not need this. |

You may remember this small program from the 90's and maybe you are still using it nowadays. We are talking about Lupe - the magnifying glass program. Lupe was originally released in 1995 and was developed until 1997 by Frank Toepper. In 2000 the source code was released and lay around untouched for centuries. Then in 2022, after encountering some problems with the old version I took the source code, ported it to AmigaE, fixed a couple of bugs and added some features. The result is: Lupe V2.0. |

In the mid 1990s, MacroSystem Germany released the Maestro Professional sound card for the Amiga. It was a special sound card because it was fully digital, having only optical and coaxial digital connectors. It was suited for lossless recording from CD and DAT, as well as generating lossless audio output for DAT recordings. With tools like Samplitude, the Amiga became a studio quality digital audio workstation. There was also a tool for doing backups on DAT. At that time, these tapes were the cheapest way to backup entire harddisks (a 90 minutes DAT tape could backup almost 1 GB of data, which was a lot in the 1990s). |

We know how to make Linux look like Windows 95, MacOS 9, and BeOS but what about Amiga OS? I mean, if were going to go through the trouble of making a Linux desktop look like a classic computer systems it would be heresy to not include the Amiga! What follows are the best options that Ive found to achieve exactly that goal. Well be starting with XFCE as our default desktop XFCE is sort of the gold standard for making your desktop look like older systems. If youre following along at home, I highly recommend installing XFCE before we get started. You can use pretty much any Linux distribution you like. |

And for a while, it seemed like Max Toy might be the one to turn the company around. In this blog post, well explore what was different, and what wasnt so different about him. |

Unfortunately, Amiga-style Cherry MX keycaps are unavailable, so I used DSA profile blank keycaps. As 9 unit space is rare, I used a 7 unit instead. |

Mediathek is a software for downloading Movies from different public (german speaking) TV-stations (ARD, ZDF, 3Sat, WDR...). It is based on the program MediathekView, which is available for Windows/Linux/Macos, und uses the same database. But in contrast to them, Mediathek on Amiga uses its own SQL-server, what gives some speedups and more filteroptions. |

This is a collection of scanned and transcribed newsletters and disk magazines from the Memphis Amiga Group, as well as newsletters from its predecessor, the Memphis Commodore Users Club. The Memphis Commodore Users Club (or Users Group, MCUG) started in the early 80s and lasted until the early to mid 90s. It spawned the Memphis Amiga Group (MAG) as a SIG in the late 80s. MAG operated from the late 80s to the late 90s. Commodore's demise in 1994 took the wind out of the group, and after a few more years it faded out of existence. |

The Amiga Transputer was proposed by Tim King (who had previously ported TripOS to the 68k) and several others at Metacomco. The company had developed the custom OS, Helios to interact with the host operating system. The project was demonstrated at several Commodore Amiga shows, but the company never bought the technology. It was later sold as the Atari Transputer. |

Originally released in 1987 for the MSX2, Metal Gear became an instant classic. Designed by the legendary Hideo Kojima, it spawned a huge franchise in stealth gameplay and is considered one of the top games from the platform. While there are ports for the NES, Spectrum and C64 they were missing a lot of the key details from the original game. An Amiga version was once advertised in a magazine but sadly was consigned to myth and legend. That is until now. |

MHI is a new standard for MPEG audio on the Amiga. It was created by Thomas Wenzel and Paul Qureshi, with help from Dirk Conrad, because current systems (mpega.library and the mpeg.device) do not offer the features modern applications such as AmigaAMP require. This archive contains everything you need to develop programs using MHI and MHI drivers for new hardware or software decoders. Please support MHI, we really think it's the best possible solution for playing MPEG audio on AmigaOS! |

On June 15th, Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer on all desktop systems, including its launch platform, the Commodore Amiga. Microsoft tweeted the news yesterday from its official @MicrosoftEdge account. In the poignant tweet, the Redmond software giant bade farewell to its venerable web browser, stating with some sadness, Now, its time to surf the big web in the sky, while marking the woeful moment with an animated image of IEs orbited-e logo, centered on a glowing blue screen which fades out to darkness on an Amiga 1000 computer. |

Minimig (short for Mini Amiga) is an open source re-implementation of an Amiga 500 using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Minimig started around January 2005 as a proof of concept by Dutch electrical engineer Dennis van Weeren. He intended Minimig as the answer to the ongoing discussions within the Amiga community on implementing the Amiga custom chipset using an FPGA. The projects source code and schematics were released under version 3 of the GNU General Public Licence on 25 July 2007. |

The MiniMig is a re-implementation of the original Amiga chipset, used in the A1000 and A500 using modern technology. The motherboard is designed using FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) - a method of programming hardware to operate in different ways, even mimicing the operation of other hardware. MiniMig is the brainchild of Dennis van Weeren, a Dutch electrical engineer, who developed it as a cost effective method of running Amiga software, without the need to source original Commodore hardware. |

This is a module emulating the playback functionality of the Toccata sound card for the Commodore Amiga. Toccata sound card. The module is written in SystemVerilog, and is intended to be used in the Minimig core. It was not possible for me to get an actual Toccata sound card, or find the documentation for the sound card. This module is implemented by reverse engineering the Toccata sound card emulation of UAE, and looking at the OpenBSD driver. The Toccata sound card uses the AD1848 audio chip, the AD1848 data sheet was used to implement the indirectly exposed registers to the zorro II bus. |

Amiga in an FPGA : Minimig stands for (very originally ) mini Amiga. Aim is to built a complete OCS A500. But with some extra grunt and features like 4Mbyte ram and fast 68000 processor) on a circuit board about the size of a floppy drive. I must be honest. When I met Dennis for the first time at this years Codex, my first feeling was a mix between general puzzlement and happiness. I could but wonder I was not in front of an old and weird hippie. A hardware geek with long hair and even longer beard, wearing some silly t-shirt and thick glasses. |

The MiSTer is an open-source project that emulates consoles, computers and arcade boards via FPGA This is different from software emulation, as theres potential for performance exactly like the original. While software emulation has the potential to be really accurate as well, youre much more likely to get zero lag via FPGA emulation, making this an amazing option for people using both HDMI displays and CRTs! Setup and use has gotten really simple and I created a quick video to get you started, with links and more instructions below: |

In short: "PCI is for PC what Zorro is for Amiga". {...} It is therefore not unsurprising that several vendors started to offer through which an Amiga system can be equipped with a PCI bus, and through which components designed for PC systems can be plugged into an Amiga. {..} The version in this archive is a complete re-implementation of openpci and based on a different design philosophy: Instead of depending on proprietary drivers, it interfaces directly to third party hardware, entirely replacing vendor specific drivers. At the same time, it provides a super-set of services the original openpci.library offered, addressing some of its shortcomings. {Written by Thomas 'Thor' Richter} |

This is a MOD/S3M/XM module player implemented in Javascript using the Web Audio API and runs fully within the browser. It has been tested and confirmed to work on Chrome 14+, Firefox 24+, Safari 6+ and Edge 20+. The Javascript performance of the browsers varies significantly, so some modules may stutter on one browser while the same module can play flawlessly on other ones. YMMV. Although internally each file format is handled by a format specific player class, a front-end wrapper class is used to provide a common programming interface for the player. |

Im writing this on the 23rd of July 2025. 40 years ago, The Amiga Personal Computer was revealed to the world at the Lincoln Centre in New York. Andy Warhol was invited to paint the famous Debbie Harry, live on stage with the Amiga 1000. You can watch the event on YouTube. Things have moved on quite a since then. The Amiga was quite probably, the first multimedia computer. It was pretty big here in Europe, especially in the UK and Germany in the 80s and 90s. Today, it lives on through enthusiasts who still make games, software and hardware for this legendary machine. |

As the Name already implies, ModExplorer was made to explore the world of music modules. Therefore, the philosophy behind ModExplorer is not to be just another audioplayer, to listen to your musicarchives. There are really enough tools for this purpuse, and they do their job very well! ModExplorer goes a step beyond and provides you with mods, you've never heard before. To do so, ModExplorer downloads modules from the web randomly and plays them for you. Also these mods won't be saved permanently. ModExplorer will create a playlist instead, which contains internetlinks to those musikfiles. So You can replay them lateron. |

When it comes to modern operating systems for PowerPC-based systems like pre-Intel Macs, or other PowerPC-based systems like older or newer AmigaOS-compatible systems, there is an increasing lack of options. For 32-bit PPC, official Linux support has been dropped already, leaving only unofficial builds and of course AmigaOS as well as AmigaOS-like operating systems. So what do you do if you have a PPC-based Mac system lying around which you do not simply want to run the same old, unsupported copy of MacOS on? In a recent video, [Michael MJD] decided to give MorphOS 3.17 a shot on a Mac G4 Cube. |

The 68060 was the pinnacle of the 6800 CISC CPU development, sharing many features with the Pentium Processor. It was used as the heart of some famous computers, such as the Amiga 3000T and 4000T and the Atari CT60 / CT63. Finding these CPUs is getting pretty hard as they havent been made by Freescale/Motorola in over 10 years. There is also the issue of many fakes and counterfeits on the market, also not a pleasant experience to end up with. The 68060 was made in 3 versions: 68060 Full Version with FPU and MMU This is the best for running in your Amiga/Atari etc. 68LC060 No FPU Low Cost version. 68EC060 Embedded Version no MMU or FPU |

In theory, not a problem: Linux includes in-built support for Amiga FastFileSystem (AFFS) devices, so it should just be a case of identifying which of the three partitions Im after and giving the mount command. So, lets fire up fdisk: |

This is a ECS and AGA-combo scandoubler and flicker fixer for big box Amigas. A scandoubler doubles the horizontal frequency of the Amiga output from ~15.6kHz to ~31.5kHz to let a VGA monitor think it has the double number of lines. But in real every scanline is just doubbled ;). In interlace two suceeding lines are transmitted via half frames @25Hz. A flicker fixer stores one frame in a field mem and uses it to complete the second frame @ 50 Hz. It removes the nasty interlace flicker. |

The animations range from small intro's to my friends projects or to my own music videos and movies including just some basic frame grabbing from well known films such as; Total Recall and Scanners. Also, some random animations were created for no particular projects, just messing around in Deluxe Paint 3 mostly. Creating these animations on Amiga 500 with so little memory was a real challenge and the lack of hard disk space proved to be even more challenging in the days where floppy disks costs like a fortune each! The animation were basically saved on several disks and cut to fit during storage and before I could get the money to buy real expensive harddrives for the Amiga. This page consists of Amiga ANIM files converted to Animated GIF at about 17mb, so please be patient while loading. |

So, Im a lucky retro computing loving boy! I happen to own a sweet ass Amiga 1200 (in the cool CD32 limited edition case from A1200.Net) as you will see from the photos on the site. Ive had an accelerator in this machine for many years (way before the cool CD32 case) and what I had was a Blizzard MkIV 68030 running at 50Mhz and 32Mb RAM. This would have been eye wateringly expensive in 1995 when it was released at 299DM and probably out of reach for the average Amiga fan (especially when to get proper use from it you would have had to have owned a hard drive too). My lovely Blizzard served a purpose for years and is probably still the best Old school accelerator for the Amiga 1200 (bang for buck). Excellent for running Workbench from my Compact Flash HD and subsequently WHDLoad games worked a treat. Of course being a straight up 68030 accelerator its very compatible with all the software available. Heres a wee picture of what it looked like. |

Thanks to a dear friend I became the proud owner of a Vampire V4SA. A couple of points to note from my experience: It is an amazing little machine (a super amiga in a box) very and lots of fun! When you have a working core and configuration you are happy with keep it. Special Mention ApolloBoot is even more amazing! It brings it to life! *Please note, much of this is a summation as it happened over several weeks and my memory is not as good as it once was! I should have thought ahead and taken notes too! Out of the box, for me it worked thanks to the lucky fact that I happened to have a keyboard and mouse that worked with it, this was not so much by good planning as just luck! As it is very fussy about hardware compatibility. |

As you could have read in one of my previous posts is my AmigaOne X5000 equipped with an AMD RX570 graphics card. The use of the RX line of cards allows us to use the VA library. The Video Acceleration Library has been created to support hardware video decoding on Radeon Polaris (RX) cards. For us AmigaOS4.x users this is a very welcome addition to the use of our beloved OS and X5000. The downside to switching to an RX based graphics card is not having support in the Linux kernel for this. This results in losing the ability to use LInux on the X5000. The only option I could think of was adding a second graphics card to bring Linux back to the machine. As there are some posts on the hyperion forum referring to the setup of two graphics cards in the X5000 I thought it would be nice to write about my own setup. |

Amos Kittens tries to be 100% compatible AMOS interpreter, so you can download Amos programs from Aminet or cover disks or run AMOS code from ADF disk images. This is the goal of this project. The Amos Kittens commands tries to stay 99% compatible, a few commands wont work as this project use a bit more modern chunky image format instead of the planar graphic format used on Amiga 500 to 4000. AmigaOS4.x is the platform this thing primary developed on, however code is sometimes tested on other operating systems. |

BBoot is a simple, minimal boot loader to load AmigaOS on QEMU emulated amigaone and pegasos2 machines. It is replacing the second level boot loader (amigaboot.of on pegasos2 and slb_v2 on amigaone) and makes booting AmigaOS on QEMU simpler and without needing a firmware ROM. The original amigaboot.of only works with the non-free pegasos2 SmartFirmware and slb_v2 is tied to U-Boot, whereas BBoot also works with QEMU's built in minimal Virtual Open Firmware (VOF) on pegasos2 or without U-Boot on amigaone. |

What does it do? Processes (line doubles) retro games with NO input lag Unlike other scalers, such as the XRGB Mini, the OSSC works on individual scanlines rather than a frame at a time, that means theres no input lag whatsoever (well, a few nanoseconds if you really want to be precise). Eliminates ugly deinterlacing artefacts and bad scaling. Converts SCART and Component to DVI/HDMI. Convert VGA to DVI/HDMI Connect a retro PC directly to the unit and enjoy HDMI processing of all your games. Convert analogue audio to digital DVI/HDMI. Fast deinterlacer. |

This is my Amiga A600. Quite the controversial machine still (as far as retro stuff goes) and also especially back in the day. I dug it out because someone has offered to send me his Amiga 68000 programming book to review. And this is what I saw instead when I tried to boot it up |

As a retro computer enthusiast, I have amassed an impressive collection of Commodore computers and various older consoles. My chief hobby platforms are the Commodore 64/128 and the Commodore Amiga line, both of which I used extensively back when these machines were still new. Looking at my Amiga collection, I can safely say that my current 'pride-and-joy'* is a souped up Amiga 600. The 'Mighty A600' features the following: {...} |

Lately Ive noticed a lot of questions on how to partition and prepare Compact Flash card (or HDD) for use with Amiga, so Ive decided to write this tutorial on how to do it and format them as PFS3 partitions. At least this is how I do it :). Using PC with WinUAE to prepare everything and just pop finished card in Amiga, ready to go. |

NanoMig is a port of the Minimig Commodore Amiga FPGA implementation to the Tang Nano 20K, Tang Primer 25K and Tang Mega 138K Pro FPGA development boards. This is based on the MiSTeryNano project and also relies on a FPGA companion to be connected to the FPGA board for USB support and on-screen-display control. This is still a work in progress. The current version is based on the MiSTer Minimig AGA code and runs many Amiga games and demos. |

So I have been trying to find some documentation on how to use the NDK and its tools but I have been having some trouble finding it. The only thing I found was in the NDK itself under Autodocs. Which was basically a list of .doc files that I had to open with a text editor to see the documentation. In AmigaOS 4 there is an application where you can search for things in the documentation but it is not available for AmigaOS 3. So I basically had 2 choices: 1. Use the Autodocs and open them with a text editor every single time. orrrr 2. Make a whole new website and use javascript make it check every 110 files and return the thing that I am searching for. So I decided to go with the second option :) |

vbcc is a highly optimizing portable and retargetable ISO C compiler by Volker Barthelmann. It supports ISO C89 and a subset of C99. It's also still being developed and offers a variety of target distributions and cross-compiling options. Best of all: It's free. The AmigaOS distribution of vbcc is maintained by Frank Wille and can be downloaded here. Frank added support for the NDK3.2 in vbcc 0.9h, so you'll have to get this version or a later one. |

NetBSD/amiga is the port of NetBSD to the Amiga line of personal computers by Commodore and Amiga International and to the DraCo by MacroSystem GmbH. Development activity on NetBSD/amiga continues at a speed dependent on people's spare time. Currently, NetBSD/amiga runs on any Amiga [1] that has a Motorola 68020 or better CPU with some form of MMU, and on 68060 DraCos. For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required. 68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment. |

This disk is made for getting any classic Amiga easily on network with good file transferring compatibilities. It could be helpful in emergency situations or when building up a completely new system. It's based on stripped down version of AmiTCP/IP 3.0b2 stack and couple of other freeware programs. Almost everything on the disk is packed and cutted down to minimum. You should install some full TCP/IP stack and latest full drivers for permanent use. Use this disk only by booting from it as it is! You've been warned. |

Thanks to the inclusion of Screamernet with Lightwave 4.0 and higher, you may use a single copy of Lightwave to render your work on multiple computer systems. This greatly speeds up your rendering time, and if you have several computers around, Screamernet is flexible enough to allow you to use Modeler on one system while the others are busy rendering.{...} But before you can 'start Screaming', you have to have a network up and running. Screamernet will use your existing network, it will not do the networking for you. |

Amiga A1100 by Miguel Fides is out. It was found on the Spanish retrowiki.es Forum site. Here the new Amiga A1100 was presented. In the news on Amiganews.de they reveal about the YouTube video too! On the Wikiretro blog, the official presentation of the original Commodore Amiga 1000 housing motherboard was announced on the 9th of February 2021. The idea of the post that was made is to test the interest of making the new Amiga 1000 clone. It is an replacement for a motherboard that is damaged or that only have the casing, because the plate has died etc. |

Amiga is indeed still alive and kicking, and have recently posted concept drawings for the next generation Amigas on their Website. The company is planning to release its next generation multimedia computer in late Q4 1999. According to Amiiga, the new computer will have a new Amiga operating system (OS 5 - a realtime, scaleable operating system for digital convergence and multimedia), advanced 3D graphics performance and multimedia features, and will be extremely easy to use. |

It's no secret that I love making music on the Amiga. I've recently made videos on the native Amiga soundchip, realtime Amiga guitar effects and even exotic Amiga soundcards, not to mention an EP of Amiga-based music, so today's news of a new Amiga sound card interested me greatly. AmiGUS, a Zorro II-based card (for so-called big box Amigas) features an updateable FPGA core, 24-bit Audio, 32 channels of PCM sound, hardware ADSR envelopes and crucially - an open hardware approach. My complete speculation, is that open-sourcing things means that versions for the popular wedge-shaped Amigas might be a possibility. |

After days of wild speculation and ridiculously fast-growing threads on AmigaWorld.net, we finally know most of what we need to know about the new Amiga. This is not just a random PowerPC evaluation board that you can stuff in a generic case no, this is an all-new system with a custom motherboard, and some very, very interesting innovations like a fully customisable co-processor. Twenty-five years after the introduction of the first Amiga, this is one heck of a machine. |

No Man's Sky is a beautiful game of interstellar exploration: something about its epic psychedelic wonder stays with you even after you've internalized its procedural patterns. Blake Patterson wanted to see how well a classic Amiga 1000 would render some of its scenery. Granted, an Amiga isn't going to counting frames by the second, but it was the first machine to offer thousands of colors on-screen at once and its peculiar pallete trickery gives NMS an even weirder look. |

But you can easily translate it with DeepL, Bing, Google, etc.), dissecting (especially from a technical point of view) all the problems that beset it and, therefore, the reasons why it was rarely used, relegating it mostly to displaying static images or movies/animations. |

Modules are relatively small files which contains various sound samples and information on how they should be played. This way of making music goes a long way back, and even at the time of the Commodore 64 the concept was used. But it was on the Amiga computer it really started off. The original type of modules were made with a program called SoundTracker, but since then a lot of different module types have shown up, all of them offering different features - such as more sound channels, more samples, realtime echo and so on. NostalgicPlayer is a program that can play these modules. NostalgicPlayer is a Windows version of the APlayer, which was started on the Amiga computer back in 1993, later continued on BeOS, and was a reaction to the lack of good module players for the Amiga. |

The Open Source Scan Converter is a low-latency video digitizer and scan converter designed primarily for connecting retro video game consoles and home computers to modern displays. It converts analog RGB or component video signals into a digital format, and doubles (or triples) the scanlines of a single frame if necessary to generate a valid mode for digital TVs or monitors. The board and firmware originated as a homebrew project in 2015. The primary goal of the OSSC project was to create a scan converter with minimal latency and reasonable cost, which could also be assembled by hand. Output image quality and features have also been important targets as long as they didn't contradict with the project's primary goals. Due to interest in the retro gaming community, both DIY kits and pre-assembled boards were first released to the public during early 2016. The firmware of the system is open source (hence the name) and new features can be added as time goes on. If you're new to the OSSC and scalers/processors in general, you may wish to start with the quick start guide here. There's now also an excellent getting started video tutorial, kindly created by RetroRGB, that you can view here. |

Popular Tracker gets first update for 25 years {...} After 25 years, OctaMED is coming out with version 8 and looks set to be a commercial entity once more. Why though? The Amiga, technically a "dead" platform, a "hobbyist" machine, has seen a growing profile since COVID. During the long hard months, people sought to "return to childhood" and vintage computers sales soared. |

Do you remember those levitating lamps that were all the rage some years ago? Floating light bulbs, globes, you name it. After the initial craze of expensive desk toys, a wave of cheap kits became available from the usual suspects. [RobSmithDev] wanted to make a commemorative lamp for the Amigas 40th anniversary, but it was missing something. Sure, the levitating red-and-white boing ball looked good, but in the famous demo, the ball is spinning at a jaunty angle. You cant do that with mag-lev not without a hack, anyway. |

Oktalyzer is a commercial tracker developed by Armin Sander and distributed by Mayer Verlag on the Amiga in 1989. Version 1.57, the final version, was released in 1991. Oktalyzer music is stored in OKT format. Oktalyzer is so named because it supports eight channels. This was impressive since the Amiga audio hardware only had four channels. To perform this feat, Oktalyzer loaded eight channels in memory, mixed them in real time down to four channels, and sent the result to the Amiga sound chip. This was a processor-intensive task which degraded sound quality, but was more than made up for with doubled channels. Oktalyzer could also be run in 4-channel mode to suit more processor-heavy programs. Though it offered more channels and featured a more impressive interface than most trackers at the time of its release, Oktalyzer was never expanded to work with updated hardware like newer sound cards and memory expansions on the Amiga. Note: While the format is often denoted with an *.okt or *.okta extension on Windows machines, the files did not have an extension on Amiga machines |

Ever since the Transformer program was released for the Amiga 1000, the Amiga has been able to effectively run MS-DOS software, although with varying degrees of integration between Amiga and PC software. Now, as the MS-DOS world eagerly awaits the first successor to the 486, Commodore has finally unleashed the A2386, a 386SX Bridgeboard. |

Probably all Amiga owners have seen the guru at one time or another. It is analogous to the Blue Screen Of Death in Microsoft Windows, and later used as an error message elsewhere, such as Varnish, a reverse proxy and HTTP accelerator, and VirtualBox, a Hypervisor environment.

The Commodore Amiga computer had a famous bouncing ball demonstration program, a checkered bouncing ball. It was a bit different than this, but this is certainly reminiscent of it. We love the Amiga demo so much that we created a special checkered ball primitive, AMIGABALL, and a second oid primitive, AMIGABALLOID, which is used to create the compressed ball. Rather than turning the turtle into a ball (one method), this method cleans the turtle track after rendering each frame of the animation (which we wait for using the NEXTFRAME primitive). |

The Open Source Scan Converter is a zero lag upscaler. At the moment, it is by far the sharpest way to play your analog consoles via HDMI, offering tons of options, 2x 480p (960p) and up to 5x 240p (1080p!). Its only shortcoming is its not compatible with all TVs in every mode, but its still an excellent choice and what I recommend to all retro-gaming videophiles! |

For brevity, this release will be further referred to as OS/2 PPC. Following years of hype and high expectation, the release was very low key and in fact marked the end of development of OS/2 for PowerPC. |

This document specifies the P96 interface between the rtg.library and the card and chip drivers. Graphics boards for the Amiga consist typically of two components: the Amiga expansion card with the glue logic and the optional video switch and a standard PC-VGA chip. The former interface is provided by the card driver, the latter by the chip driver. The rationale for this functional division is to ease support of similar graphics cards that share the same VGA chip, even though the glue logic on the board is different. The corresponding chip driver can be shared between boards. |

In October 1985 I purchased the first Amiga sold in the state of Virginia. It was a transformative experience to have that level of technology on the desk in front of me as a young geek. The Amiga 1000 was miles beyond any other consumer computer available on the market at the time in several respects. It boasted preemptive multitasking, a palette of 4096 colors (at a time when EGAs 64-color palette was considered impressive), four channel stereo digital audio, and a custom chipset with a graphics co-processor that allowed for incredible on-screen animation. |

PatchWork is a debugging tool similar to MuForce and Mungwall. It asserts that calls to AmigaOS libraries are AutoDocs conformous. Illegal parameters (e.g. NULL where a pointer is expected) are reported. PatchWork helps you to make your code more robust and future proof. The source code was closed, like almost all of my Amiga projects. I have reviewed and reformatted the files, translated the comments from German to English, and made the project compilable on Linux (and probably other targets) using vbcc. The source is now open to everyone for contributing, studying, archiving, or just enjoying the good old Amiga times. |

The Paula chip includes logic for audio playback, floppy disk drive control, serial port input/output and mouse/joystick buttons. The logic remained functionally identical across all Amiga models from Commodore. It was designed by Glenn Keller. Paula is a contrived contraction of Ports, Audio, UART and Logic, and coincidentally the chip designers girlfriend. What made Paula revolutionary was that it was capable of playing back sampled sound from memory without needing the Central Processing Unit to do the bulk of the work. |

The oldest video connector most people have seen on a PC is VGA: Although it has largely been phased out now and replaced with HDMI/Displayport and/or DVI, some devices, such as projectors and TVs, can afford to include it where space is not at a premium. Another connector you may have seen on laptops or some PCs is composite video, using an RCA connector. This provides a low-quality connection, which is rubbish for something like word processing, but may be acceptable for watching DVDs. |

People are writing detailed articles how to modify stock 3.5" PC HD floppy drives to make them Amiga compatible. My solution is completely different: create a special cable and no modification is required to the FDD itself. The only thing You need to do is to hide the HD detection hole on the floppy disk with a sticky tape and all HD disks will work in DD mode. Of course DD disks will also work without any problem. See the pictures below for the details. The testing involved 30+ different drives. Amiga supports DD drives only: don't ask for a HD mod; it requires oscillator change etc. |

COMMODORE'S new Amiga A1000 computer was unveiled at Lincoln Center last week amid flashing lasers, rip-snorting jazz, rented tuxedos and rented celebrities, including Andy Warhol, who was there to bestow the first 15 minutes of fame on the machine. Yet even surrounded by all the glitter, the Amiga stood out clearly as the evening's star performer. |

Solne created a week-long personal computing challenge around old computers. I chose to use an Amiga for the week. In this issue I write about my experience, and what modern computing lost when Commodore died. I also want to show some of the things you can do with an Amiga or even an emulator if you'd like to try. As I keep telling my partner, Amigas arent an addiction, theyre just a very expensive hobby. |

If you are a long-time reader of my blog, you probably know that I bought some pallets of retro hardware a few years ago. Only twenty Amiga 500s survived unrefurbished since then. (there is one more not visible in a pic). For the past few years, Ive restored hundreds of retro machines to their original state (sometimes with minor mods) and I am kinda bored with it. Time to try something different. Ive decided to create a fresh series of posts where Ill try to describe upgrades and visual mods of the above A500s. Every A500 from the above stack will be unique and will be described in a separate blog post. Once such Amiga is finished and tested, I will create an eBay auction with it. This is post number 1 out of 20. Today, I will focus on the special unit fourth from the top in the left column on the above pic. It is special because this is the one that brought the whole blog post series idea to life. Oh! This is going to be a long post ? |

This is a non-functional prototype of the PIOS One personal computer, main board and single-processor CPU module. So back in 1995, I was brought in to Amiga Technologies to consult with their management on the future of Amiga. We agreed that it was possible to design a PowerPC-based Amiga of some sort, and to port the operating system to a HAL-based, CPU-independent code base. This was actually happening. And then ESCOM got into trouble by overextending themselves, and it ended. |

PiSCSI is a virtual SCSI device emulator that runs on a Raspberry Pi. It runs in userspace, and can emulate several SCSI devices at one time. There is a control interface to attach / detach drives during runtime, as well as insert and eject removable media. This project is aimed at users of vintage Macintosh and Atari computers and more (see compatibility list) from the 1980's and 1990's. |

The PiStorm its a Raspberry Pi based device which emulates the Motorola 68000 CPU found inside the Amiga, Atari ST, Mac Classic, etc. It consist on a board which internally replaces the Amiga 68000 CPU. On top of this board a Raspberry Pi 3A+ is connected through GPIO header. When paired with the Amiga, the PiStorm provides CPU accelleration, virtual hard disk (through disk images resident on the SD), WiFi, RTG graphics, 128Mb fast ram, RTC and other enhancements. The device is plug and play if you use the preconfigured SD image we provide. You will need some Linux command line experience to setup the WiFi. |

The Amiga, well known as the best and greatest computer ever designed, is nonetheless a platform of yesteryear. Its 68K, and later PowerPC, architectures have both been abandoned by the mainstream, and its attractive grey industrial design no longer graces store shelves. That doesnt mean the platform is dead however, with diehard shredders like [Claude Schwarz] working hard to keep it alive with projects like PiStorm. PiStorm is a Motorola 68K CPU emulator, running on a Raspberry PI 3A. The Pi uses its GPIOs to interact with a CPLD chip, which acts as the logic glue to allow the modern single board computer to emulate the Amigas original processor. However, its more than just an easy way to replace or upgrade a CPU. It also offers additional features, like retargetable graphics acceleration, SCSI disk emulation, and the ability to run whatever Kickstart ROM you so desire. |

IMPORTANT NOTE: This guide is made for the BUSTER version of the Rapsberry Pi OS. The necessary options for the BULSSEYE version will be included shortly. I will not cover here how to physically assemble the PiStorm and the Raspberry Pi A+, although it should be pretty straightforward: in a A500, take out the CPU, put the PiSorm in its place (pins for the RPi on the left side, close to the left end of the computer) and connect the RPi on it (no possibility -well, smol- of connecting it wrong). Instead, I will try to compile all the info scattered over several places in one single document on how to install the software. The info has been took from respective GitHub places, FAQ at Discord, PiStorm disk, etc., so thanks to the respective authors, i.e., Claude, Bnu, LinuxJedi, ChaosPif, Mcgurk and many others. |

The PiStorm, designed by Amiga fan Claude Schwarz, is just one of them, but one that stands out from the crowd for a variety of reasons. The first is its open hardware; Schwarz doesnt sell the PiStorm, but instead publishes the source code and design files for anyone to submit to a PCB fabricator. If you dont fancy fighting with minimum order quantities, the community around the PiStorm organises semi-regular group buys, in which an assembled board, requiring only the headers to be soldered in place, can cost as little as $13 US (around 9 ex VAT). |

Introduction. The PiStorm32-Lite is an accelerator for the Commodore Amiga 1200 computer. It has been created by Claude Schwarz. This speeds up the Amiga 1200 by leveraging the Raspberry Pi's computational power. The Raspberry Pi plugs into the PiStorm and emulates the native 680x0 CPU at much higher performance than the original CPU. The Raspberry Pi is running software emulation of the 680x0 CPU using Emu68 developed by Michal Schulz. As a community project it is assembled and distributed by well known suppliers such as Amiga Kit. |

How about playing some Flashback on AmigaOS 4? Flashback was released back in 1992 by Delphine Software International, but back then there was no AmigaOS 4 to be released to. A good developer, going by the name Gregory Montoir, recreated Flashback's engine to be able to run it on any modern system. Today, I released the port of REminiscence 0.5.1 for AmigaOS 4. There was a release for AmigaOS 4 of this engine, but it was already 14 years old. So, I grabbed the latest available source code and I gave it a try. |

Port Commodore was the name of a Commodore 64 BBS running Image BBS software, the sysop of Port Commodore (the BBS) was Fred Dart (also known by his handle, the Chief or Image Fred), Fred was one of the founders of Image BBS, which was the software my BBS was running on. Fred's Board, Port Commodore, was part of the many Commodore BBS networks ending with one of the more amazing projects the Comm-Net project connecting together many different Commodore BBS networks (of various BBS software). Fred passed away a few years back, I'm sure happy to see his contribution in communication entertained so many people. It was such a good name to let pass I decided to pick it up for my entry onto the internet and it has stuck well with me so far. ion |

Portable 68k Amigas. At one time or another the majority of Amiga owners have wished that a portable Amiga had been released. Its omission from the Commodore line-up has been puzzling, most of its competitors have developed a portable machine at one stage or another. Even Atari had some success in the laptop market! Unfortunately, the Amigas custom chipset has proven to be a hindrance to those who want a cost-effective 'Classic' Amiga laptop. For the moment, the only viable alternative is to use a Mac or PC laptop and a copy of UAE. |

PROFESSIONAL POWER SAVER PROTECTION FOR: AMIGA 500, AMIGA 500+, AMIGA 600, AMIGA 1200. WORLWIDE EXPERIENCE: To date a couple of people have contacted me thanking me after their crazy Meanwell PSU failed the voltage went up :-O ... but with the OVP the AMIGA was saved ... the only thing burned were the two fuses of protection! OH YEAH! ;-)) This "Power Saver HQ" is different from ordinary protectors: it is professional . And it was created to protect all the Commodore AMIGA power supplies according to the list. The protection is complete for: +5 VDC, +12VDC, -12VDC. It is completely made of semiconductors with very fast intervention times 20us (microseconds!), no relay on board that would require long intervention times 200ms (milliseconds!). What does it means this time value? It means 10.000 time fasters then relay-based protections . This is the only way we can safely safeguard our Commodore vintage computer This electronic circuit allows to keep under control the voltages supplied by the AMIGA power supply by detecting anomalies on the correct value. |

Back in the early 1990's IBM, Motorola, and Apple released the PowerPC CPU. It originally replaced the 68000 in the Apple Macintosh computers, but was also used in systems such as Nintendo GameCube, Wii, Wii-U, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. Here's am FPGA project I'm calling the UnderpoweredPC. This is a minimal implementation of PowerPC in Verilog for an FPGA. It started as a copy of the RISC-V FPGA project, mostly just changing the core to PowerPC. The lcd.asm test program from RISC-V was converted to PowerPC. This program blinks and LED and when a button is pushed generates a Mandelbrot on the small LCD display. |

The remake card gerbers have been made available via github. This includes all the files needed to send to a PCB manufacturer to have the blank boards made. I had mine made using JLCPCB.

Hello everyone! I'm excited to finally release the X1Boot Manager into the X1000 Linux world! :-D The X1Boot Manager is the culmination of a two year research and development project and then some I call the X1Boot Project. The aim of the X1Boot Project was to prove if: 1. Linux could be booted directly off an X1000 HDD (or SSD.) 2. Linux could be loaded from a standard AmigaBoot menu. 3. Linux could be managed from a Linux boot editor. Well I'm pleased to say I was successful in all three aims! |

Prismatic Realms, Inc. is an independent video game developer based near Halifax, Canada. Our primary focus is the creation of video games that are inspired by, or are remakes, sequels, and spiritual successors of the classics while still retaining their original charm and essence. By classic games we are, of course, referring to the 2D gaming era of arcades, computer systems and video game consoles of the 70's, 80's and 90's. Systems such as the Commodore 64, Amiga, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super NES, Sega Genesis and the original PlayStation. While these systems were the birthplace of many of the game concepts that we find in today's games, they are not our only source of inspiration. "Our mission is to channel this tempest of nostalgic energy into creating the kinds of games that reminds us of the ones we grew up playing, albeit with a bit of modern design and flair thrown into the mix.". Commodore 64 & Amiga game music remade as Hollywood style epic film scores. |

ProAction. It's a bit of a bad pun on the name of the GUI toolkit this system supports. Reaction. ProAction. Is basically an ARexx host, there are many about, this one is designed to provide GUI's for scripts (or even full programs!). The difference with ProAction is that whilst the script is sending commands to the ProAction server, the server is sending a separate stream of commands to the scripts own ARexx port. It can be used by any scripting language that can both send ARexx commands and implment it's own ARexx port. So that might mean Python using the arexx module thatcomes with the official AmigaOS version, perl using the arexx module from perl_Reaction (Hmmmm....) or even ARexx! (using rexxsupport.library). |

It was hard for me not to go completely over the top for the Commodore Amiga when I became aware of it in 1985. Here was a machine incredible graphics, stunning sound, amazing games, and a general sense that the thing could do most anything. I wasn't the only one; Amigas are still in use to this day for professional graphics work and video editing. But at the time, it just changed everything. Here's some files discussing the minutae of being a programmer on the Amiga. {lots of good info 'older' found here} |

{...} In the fall of 1986, Eric Graham discovered that the Amiga 1000 personal computer, running at a meager 7.16 MHz, was powerful enough to ray trace simple 3D scenes. His test animation consisted of an abstract, humanoid robot juggling 3 mirrored balls. It stunned the Amiga community including the executives at Commodore, who later acquired the rights to the animation for promotional purposes. |

Gemini is a new internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents. That's not a new idea, but it's not old fashioned either. It's timeless, and deserves tools which treat it as a first class concept, not a vestigial corner case. Gemini isn't about innovation or disruption, it's about providing some respite for those who feel the internet has been disrupted enough already. We're not out to change the world or destroy other technologies. We are out to build a lightweight online space where documents are just documents, in the interests of every reader's privacy, attention and bandwidth. |

This is a very preliminary version for AmigaOS4. It lacks many features, but it's quite usable. Note that the Poseidon USB Stack (used by AROS and MORPHOS) already supports eGalax touchscreens. |

A testing-ground for wannabe projects and/or wasted possibilities... The following AMIGA Games were made for test purposes and written in AMOS language. The programs contain elements that have either not been completed, have not yet been used, or there are elements in it that cannot be used in a complete game. Each of them has its own charm, so it is possible that one or the other will become something more in the future. |

Unfortunately only 250 boards have been produced. Thanks to agreement of all parties involved, the design can be opened to the public.. |

PTDS (Pixel Tetrads Dots / Speed) is a video system for AGA Amigas that provides pseudo-native chunky screens, i.e. screens where each byte in CHIP RAM corresponds to a dot on the display - in other words, it offers chunky screens without chunky-to-planar conversion. PTDS is the faster brother of PTDQ, another system based on the same core principle. |

20 YEARS IN THE MAKING AND 100% FREE PUTTY SQUAD OUT NOW FOR AMIGA. I am delighted to announce that having worked closely with some of Amigas incredibly passionate community, Putty Squad, one of the most memorable platform games of the 90s is finally being released for the Amiga; and its available to download now, completely free of charge. Without the help of Phil B-B from the Amiga community, and of course John Twiddy & Phil Thornton, this never would have happened. I would like to thank them all for their hard work. |

A usable pixel art program written in Python. Mark Riale. PyDPainter, pronounced "Pied Painter" (like Pied Piper), is an attempt to create a usable pixel art program in Python using PyGame. The original inspiration came from the Commodore Amiga version of Deluxe Paint released by Electronic Arts in 1985. Recently, with a resurgence of all things "retro," low-resolution pixel art and limited color palettes have become popular once again. Many tools to deal with this medium are either too complicated or too crude. This project is an attempt to bring back an old but reliable tool and enhance it with some features to help it better coexist in the modern world |

Project Qmiga (???) is meant to be a place for Amiga related QEMU development and is to help collaboration and host work in progress that is not yet ready for inclusion in QEMU. Consequently, code hosted here is not yet ready for general use (may not even work) and is mostly interesting only for developers who may want to contribute to help finishing it. End users willing to run it for other than testing and development should better use what is already in QEMU where finished results will be upstreamed. |

Our OS is better than Linux, so stick with us, company demands. Even as Amiga was posting its announcement this morning that it will be using Linux as its core operating system, its erstwhile OS partner QNX Software Systems announced the first beta release of its QNX OS -- and a new GUI to go with it. In an open letter entitled 'Delivering on our promise to the Amiga community', QNX's CTO, Dan Dodge, said the QNX beta would ship in the autumn, initially on the x86 platform, "the hardware solution most widely available at low cost in the time frame that we wish to release the beta". |

QDock has optional stylish half transparent background and it actually loads Workbench Wallpaper to make fake transparent effect, animated icons and all this adds to memory & CPU usage but creates nice look! QDock never sleeps due to animated gfx would not work, it does lower the fps/CPU need when not in use and only to a level where it still feels responsive, if solid background is used it lowers memory & CPU usage. Drag HDD/apps/directory/text etc. icon to QDock, it senses placement, if there is no icon(.info) it will not be added to dock. Max 4x 25 icons |

All operating systems have the ability to create a disk or drive in RAM such that the resulting disk can be accessed either as a hard-drive or a floppy and be manipulated by the operating system just like a physical drive. All Amiga versions create a RAM drive on the Workbench that is precisely that: a drive that can be read and written to just like any other volume. A RAM drive is inherently volatile such that after a reboot, the RAM drive is cleaned and all contents deleted - except when creating a drive out of non-volatile RAM such as the one backed by a battery. |

RADRunner is an application to assist in cross development of Amiga software. Its two main functions are the transfer and execution of executable files, without the need to have any file system mounted. The most basic use case is that the Amiga acts as the server, running RADRunner in "server mode" and the computer being used to cross compile the Amiga software under development acts as the client, running RADRunner in "client mode". The Amiga then has RADRunner "listening" for incoming connections. After cross compilation of a program on the development computer, RADRunner then sends that program to the Amiga and instructs the Amiga to execute it. After this, the programmer repeats the edit/compile/execute on the development computer. |

A drop in replacement for the rapid fire circuit in a Speedlink Competition Pro USB after reworking to classical C64/Amiga mode. Introduction. While there was a classic version of the Speedlink Competition Pro sold for a while, the only version available right now is the now is the USB version which works fine on a PC but not on a classical computer like C64 or Amiga. While it can be quite easily reworked to classic mode by connecting the switches directly to a DB9 cable (still sold as Sega MegaDrive extension cable), the rapid fire functionality is removed since it's on the same circuit board as the USB interface. So I designed this little PCB to replace the circuit board. |

Note that this is for reading Amiga disks from the MEGA65 core, and has no impact on any future Amiga core that would allow you to run Amiga software on the MEGA65. That is quite a separate activity, that we look forward to seeing, but isn't what I'm working on today. |

This board is designed to allow me to re-engineer Agnus (cycle exact) and enable us to build Amiga's into the future. It was built out of necessity to get me a 8372AB for my ReA3000. But i should be able to reassign the pins for other Agnus revisions (provided the power pins are always the same). Design is an ICE40HX4K FPGA + Level Shifters. It solders into a PLCC TH socket like Megachip. I'm sure someone will ask why I didn't put ram on here.. Simple. I'm a purist. I want this chip to replace Agnus and nothing else. |

It is well-known that the Kickstart disk that came with the original Amiga 1000 in 1985 contained some fragments of source code: The floppy disk that was used as a master for duplication had been used by the developers before, and had not been erased completely. Nobody seemed to have looked too closely at what is on this disk so I did, for this episode of Computer Archeology. The revealed data tells us about how the Amiga operating system was brought up, how it related to Tripos, and where it was developed. |

Weve spoken with ex-Westwood developer Bob Koon, who is working on a new Amiga version of Dune II. Bob Koon was part of the original Westwood team that created the groundbreaking real-time strategy game Dune II, which is considered the first modern game in the genre. His main task was converting the game to the Amiga. While the Amiga version was met with a very positive reception and is still fondly remembered today, Koon never felt completely satisfied with how it turned out. So now hes set out to recreate it from scratch, and make the definitive version of Dune II in the process. We got in touch to ask him about the project. |

In the past weve talked about one of the major downsides of working with vintage computer hardware, which of course is the fact youre working with vintage computer hardware. The reality is that these machines were never designed to be up and running 20, 30, or even 40-odd years after they were manufactured. Components degrade and fail, and eventually youre going to need to either find some way to keep your favorite classic computer up and running or relegate it to becoming a display piece on the shelf. If youre like [John Hertell], you take the former option. Knowing that many an Amiga 1200 has gone to that great retrocomputing museum in the sky due to corroded PCBs, he decided to recreate the design from scans of an unpopulated board. While he was at it, he tacked on a few modern fixes and enhancements, earning his new project the moniker: Re-Amiga 1200 |

This is a recreation from original data of the small snap off PCB of the PicassoIV (PIV) Amiga RTG graphics card. I created this because often cards seem to be sold without this PCB and then the FlickerFixer/ScanDoubler of the card cannot be used. The design hasn't been proven yet but as said is created from the original schematics and PCB layout. This is a four layer PCB. |

Of course, Redit can also be used on an amiga that was upgraded to the teeth as a slim and fast editor. |

A few weeks ago (July 24th to be exact) was the 25th anniversary of the Amiga. Although it wasn't my first computer, the Amiga 500 was probably the first computer I owned that felt special in some way. It was a hacker's computer, an audio/video entertainment box, a unique and colorful thing full of possibilities. The Amiga users I knew were different, too. |

RomSplit rips ROM images apart into it`s component parts (plus 'AmigaOS ROMUpdate' files and Piru`s Exec44). Remus then takes any of these parts and builds them back into a ROM image. It can also use Blizkick modules and patches too for fixing known bugs etc. Actually, it can take any file in the standard amiga hunk format, as long as there`s at least 1 valid resident structure and no BSS hunks. |

This is the second and final part in a very short series where I improve and repair my Commodore 1901 monitor. In part 1 I added a SCART connector with analog RGB and audio support, but also discovered that the colours were a bit off especially when using an RGBi input, such as CGA and discovered a crack on the PCB. In this part, I will repair the PCB and hopefully fix the colours. |

With this piece of software, you can play a lot of oldschool music format from the old times, such as the Amiga (which was the original purpose of this player), Atari, C64, Nintendo, Sega... As a maniac collector, it started to get very annoyed to keep up to date with newer songs from an artist, check for songs duplicates, and also some missing playback functionalities. So I started to write my own player, first to play default modules from the amiga using ImGui (for the interface), OpenMPT (to play amiga modules) and libcurl (to handle the downloads from the websites). |

A good find... Its a chore to find yourself lugging junk down to the tip. But every now and then you happen across a diamond in the rough! Today was my day to score as I spotted a Commodore CDTV unit lurking in a dark corner of the electrical disposal area. She was looking poorly and in desperate need of rescue. Needless to say I took on the challenge, plucking her from the ruin (yoink!) and saving her from certain destruction. I am now the proud owner of a CDTV unit! |

While they were cool-looking, convenient and even somewhat inexpensive after a while, Floppy Disks are out as a medium to store data on home computers. The USB stick, wireless access, the use of the internet, and a whole other range of options have rendered this medium obsolete. That said, a situation now exists where there are millions of these things out in the world, some of them containing rare or unusual pieces of history, and so there's a lot of benefit to getting all that old data off that medium. This page is meant to be a clearinghouse for various options that a person or group of reasonable technical ability could use to rescue data from floppy disks. If any of these options seem daunting, a number of people have offered to accept floppy disks and pull the data using these tools. None of these options should be considered endorsements, and Archive Team does not earn commission from the sale of these items. |

This was Commodores ambitious attempt at a home theater set-top box, blending multimedia with computing in a way that was ahead of its time. But, as with many vintage machines, keeping it in top shape requires some hands-on work. |

Recently, I was lucky enough to receive a big haul of retro computer gear from a friend who was emptying out his garage. Even better, the haul was almost entirely old Amiga gear my favorite computing platform of all time. Upon returning home, I gleefully sorted through the boxes, powering things up one by one. Amazingly, everything worked except for one lonely Amiga 500+. I was greeted by a dull grey screen. This wouldnt do, so naturally, I got to work. |

I've always wanted to have a computer case which resembles the keyboard or wedge-shape cases of the 80ies era. I owned a TI-994A and a Atari ST back then and I wanted to have something similar where I can put a MiSTer board or a RetroPi into it. I used Blender to design the model. It's split into several pieces, it should fit a 230x230mm print bed. The side pods and side panels then have to be placed diagonally. I've used a XTRFY K4 TKL RGB keyboard in retro colour scheme. This release is "as is". There is no back panels for the outputs etc. yet, as I didn't know where to put everything inside. |

In a recent video, [Chris Edwards] delves into the past, showing how he turned a Commodore Amiga 3000T into a wireless-capable machine. But forget modern Wi-Fi donglesthis hack involves an old-school D-Link DWL-G810 wireless Ethernet bridge. You can see the Amiga in action in the video below. [Chris] has a quirky approach to retrofitting. He connects an Ethernet adapter to his Amiga, bridges it to the D-Link, and sets up an open Wi-Fi networkcomplete with a retro 11 Mbps speed. Then again, the old wired connection was usually 10 Mbps in the old days. |

Retro-link.com started as a small community of like-minded individuals with a keen interest in retro computing. We created a message forum that encompassed not only retro computers, but also retro cars, retro television, retro everything. Recognizing that we each had some great stories to tell, we decided that a blog would better suit our needs. This blogspot blog, retro-link.blogspot.com, represents the blog offshoot of the original project. If successful, it will replace the original retro-link message forum, and the domain name will point here. Meanwhile, stay tuned for some great stories! |

Our main goal is to document all the different releases of each game for each platform. Although there are many good websites for retro enthusiasts, most of these tend to focus on game titles and not releases. A collector will find it interesting to know exactly which releases there were of one game, and in many cases there can be quite a lot for one game alone - different media, packaging and regions. Furthermore we want this site to become a main information hub for identifying whether your release is complete or not. Our requirement is that a game does not exist until there is an actual picture of the box and its contents and we also want a cropped cover scan/photo for each title. |

[retrohax] has provided vintage computer guidance for years, and part of that guidance is this: sometimes using paint as part of restoration is simply unavoidable. But the days of tediously color-matching to vintage hardware are gone, thanks to [retrohax] offering custom-mixed spray paints in Amiga 500 Beige, C-64 Beige, and ATARI ST/SE Grey. (At the moment only delivery within Poland is available due to shipping restrictions, but [retrohax] is working on a better solution.) |

RetroEZ is a community orientated online store, focused on helping people of all levels enjoy the retro gaming computer experience. We are also working towards opening a true bricks-and-mortar shop in the near future; with the goal of eventually bringing the Amiga back to the High Street. {...} We are a group of 40 something year old Amiga 600 focused users who originally got back in touch via the Amiga community during the first lockdown. It reignited a passionate hobby for us all and after helping various other friends and forum members, has turned into a small business that we are proud to be a part of. At Retro EZ we have invested heavily into supporting new product lines as well as manufacturing our own products, which right from prototype production stages through to bulk manufacturing, have been designed with the Amiga user in mind. We hope you will join us on this exciting journey and support us in sharing our products and services with like minded community users. Thank you. The Retro EZ Team. |

In 1986, a group of NASA engineers faced a difficult choice in solving their data processing woes: continue tolerating the poor performance of PC architecture, or pony up the cash for exotic workstations. It turns out that the Commodore Amiga was an intriguing third choice, except for the fact that, paradoxically, it didnt cost enough. Oh, and Apple wanted nothing to do with any of it. |

We are proud to offer the RetroTINK-5X Pro, our first FPGA-powered device that introduces a few landmark accomplishments for bridging retro consoles to modern TVs: The first automatic optimal phase algorithm to produce the sharpest image with zero adjustments needed beyond selecting the base mode. The first custom developed FPGA-based Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing algorithm specifically for games to make 480i titles shine without adding lag or flicker. The first high resolution (1080p and above) video scaler that is capable of covering virtually all analog inputs: composite, S-video, component and RGB out of the box. {and more} |

When you're discussing video game history, it's often the case that memories will be dominated by consoles like the NES, SNES, Mega Drive / Genesis, N64, GameCube and so on but those old enough to have lived through the '80s will remember that for a period of time, home computers like the C64, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum and Commodore Amiga were a perfectly legitimate way of playing games outside of the arcade. |

The RGBtoHDMI interface converts the "digital" RGB video signal from vintage computers like the BBC Micro or PC MDA/CGA/EGA to HDMI or DVI compatible with most modern TVs/Monitors. The interface comprises a Raspberry Pi Zero and a specially designed Hat containing a small CPLD. Custom firmware on the Raspberry Pi, in conjunction with the CPLD, is able to correctly sample each of the supported video modes to give a pixel-perfect rendition. The HDMI output is locked to the input so there are no frame drops, repeats or tears and it also has low lag of around 4 milliseconds (less than a quarter of a frame). |

On my last post the first perfect computer I mentioned that I wasnt done with the A1000. I finally upgraded it with an internal RGB2HDMI adapter. For those unfamiliar with RGB2HDMI, its a brilliant and affordable open-source project that converts digital RGB video signals from vintage computers into crystal clear HDMI video with very low latency. |

The RGB4ALL is a universal video converter based on AD724 chip. It takes RGB signal on an input, encodes and outputs it to more convenient Composite video or S-Video sockets which are more often seen in modern TVs. It was tested with Amiga 500/600/1200, Amstrad 464/6128, Neo Geo MVS and other hardware that outputs RGB signal. |

Roadshow is an Amiga TCP/IP stack allows you to connect to the Internet, access your e-mail, web pages, chat, etc. It can also help you access and exchange files within your local home network. Roadshow is one of the fastest, if not the fastest Amiga TCP/IP stack. In sustained data transmission tests, Roadshow was able to receive 997 KBytes/s (tested on an Amiga 3000T, using 40 MHz 68040 WarpEngine CPU card and an Ariadne Ethernet card). Roadshow is compatible with the vast majority of Amiga networking programs which use the AmiTCP program interface, such as OWB, IBrowse, AWeb-II, YAM, SabreMSN, ATC and others. |

If you have an Amiga you are sure to like this latest news story that's just been sent to us by Saberman, as if you were hoping to play the C64 version of 'Rogue64' by Badger Punch Games but didn't get the chance, then make sure to check out the AmiJam demo for the upcoming release of 'RogueCraft'. A game which could be described as a much enhanced Amiga version of Rogue64 set with a Lovecraft-inspired theme! To coincide with this news, not only has Ricki Sickenger (Zendar) teased another screenshot, but there's a new video available from Saberman showing the WIP demo in action. |

If you want to connect your Classic Amiga to most of the monitors that are available today. Then you need an RTG card for your Amiga. Also, AmigaOS becomes so much better to use. But many reasons for not getting RTG for Classic Amiga have always been the price. This is because producing a card for the Zorro slot isnt easy and the market for it is not the same as for more modern computers. So, when I got the info about GBAPII in my mailbox. I couldnt believe my eyes! This is an RTG card for Classic Amiga for less than 200 Euros! Getting an RTG card for your Classic Amiga doesnt need to cost a lot. It all depends on what you are looking for. |

In the modern world, we take certain tools for granted. High-level programming languages such as C or Python havent been around that long in the grand scheme of things, and Java has only existed since the 90s. Getting these tools working on machines that predate them is more of a challenge than anything, and [Michael Kohn] was more than willing to tackle this one. He recently got Java running on a Commodore Amiga. |

Disclaimer - These are some notes on how to run Amiga like OSes (like AROS, AmigaOS and MorphOS) on QEMU that I've written to have some up to date info on the status and help new users. All this emulation in QEMU comes without any support and it's not expected to be complete or do everything one may desire or dream about. It's not a commercial product with a roadmap or any goal and still a work in progress which may never get finished. I'm doing it for personal interest and in my (limited) free time, no donations are solicited or accepted. So don't expect it to be anything more than a curiosity at the moment and its future depends on what the open source community makes of it. Keep this in mind when trying this. |

Coding in ARexx on the Amiga can be great fun. It's a quirky little language by modern standards, nevertheless I find it to be a highly enjoyable experience. Still, ARexx was born in 1987, and it lacks many of the comforts we take for granted when working with younger scripting languages. I've always felt that it's suffered greatly from the inability to include other scripts, allowing the programmer to build a small library of functions that can complement the built-ins. I also frequently miss a Read, Eval, Print Loop. |

RxMUI is the definitive solution to create GUIs in ARexx macros. RxMUI uses MUI, which is one of the best thing happened to Amiga so far, despite last strange decisions made by someone. It means you will benefit of the MUI philosophy programming in your ARexx macros. RxMUI will also introduce you in the wonderful world of the Object Oriented Programming in the most easy way, which is from a simple interpreted language like ARexx. Read the RxMUI documentation for more info. Here you may find a list of all the MUI classes and all the libraries needed to properly run RxMUI examples. |

{Translated Czech} Even though the Sam460ex has been with us for almost fifteen years, it is a bit of an inconspicuous computer in the AmigaNG world. You won't find almost any blog or review about it. Maybe just a few videos on YouTube. And yet this computer is exceptional in several ways. So since I have had its latest version, the Sam460LE, since last year, I will introduce it a little. |

The video is about PowerPC-based motherboard Sam460cr. Sam460cr is a PowerPC modular motherboard engineered and produced by ACube Systems and it is totally made in Italy. The core of the board is the PowerPC 460EX, a System On Chip (SoC) from Applied Micro which allowed to build a PowerPC motherboard running at 1.10 GHz, and very low power consumption! A Movie contains 7 parts: PART 1: Unpacking the package and close look at the motherboard. PART 2: The first run. Tests on the Table. PART 3: Installing into the case. Vertical GFX setup. PART 4: Installing of AmigaOS4 FE. an USB Stick way. PART 5: The basic configuration: Network, Audio, and Extras. PART 6: UP 2 DATE. Installing Update1 and Update2. PART 7: Full settings.

Today, at the beginning of 2024, we are experiencing an unusual situation in the AmigaNG world. We have two entry-level computers to choose from: in 2023, ACube launched a new version of Sama460 - Sam460LE, and this year, after a long journey full of vicissitudes, AAA technology also introduced A1222 Plus. Concurrence of two computers of the same category is something completely unusual in the AmigaNG world, therefore it is often discussed which of them is which and who is better. |

Today, at the beginning of 2024, we are experiencing an unusual situation in the AmigaNG world. We have two entry-level computers to choose from: in 2023, ACube introduced a new version of Sam460 - Sam460LE, and this year, after a long journey full of obstacles, AAA technology introduced the A1222 Plus. |

Almost any modern PC is capable of recording sound. I mean, even the sound interfaces that are part of the mother board nowadays have microphone connectors as well as line-in connectors. This was different in the days of the Amiga when a PC by default could only beep. At least each Amiga came with stereo line-out connectors that allows it to playback audio, but unfortunately none came with audio inputs. To be able to record sound on your Amiga additional hardware needed to be purchased. This article describes one example of such hardware, the "sampling cartridge" for the Amiga. |

The user group was focused on the Classic Commodore Amiga but also newer developments such as the NG (Next Generation) Amigas which eventually came to be known as the AmigaOne. A lot has changed since then. The Classic Amiga is now well and truly a retro machine. The NG Amigas came and went, and are now mainly a niche product. The user group is now focused on 1980-1990 era retro computers in general, such as Commodore, Apple and Atari machines. This also includes the Amiga of course! |

Like many people who do multimedia for a living, I've had to migrate to another platform for much of my work. One long-time Amiga program that has been successfully ported to Windows is Scala. If you have a windoze box, you can download the working demo from http://www.scala.com/. It actually makes your windoze box seem like an Amiga. It performs this magic by completely shutting Windows down. But the fact is, no matter how much RAM you have and no matter how fast a Pentium you have, performance with a PC lags behind an Amiga, at least as far as live presentations are concerned. There are bells and whistles that go along with some of the newer PC animation codecs that are fun to have. But the Amiga's TV-compatible output and more manageable file formats really shine with a live presentation. |

ScanPlus AGA is a internal Scandoubler for the Amiga 1200 and Amiga 4000D (not Amiga 4000T or Amiga CD32). The advantage of the internal ScanPlus AGA is that it will allow you to connect to a standard VGA monitor whether that be a traditional (best) CRT experience or a flat screen monitor or TV with VGA connector. |

Two Amiga sales brochures (circa 1985) that came with a near-mint quality Amiga 1000 system I purchased on eBay. I purchased the first Amiga 1000 sold in Virginia back in October 1985. I recall seeing the first, smaller brochure around that time. I have no memory of the second. I've scanned them for the enjoyment of both Amiga fans as well as those that missed that great ride. Enjoy. |

Computer science may not be about computers the way astronomy isn't really about telescopes, but the demo scene is about computers the same way painting is about brushes and tempera. They're a means to achieve an end, but also tools that affect the creative process and become part of the work itself. There are certain aesthetics you simply cannot achieve on certain platforms, and certain other aesthetics that are encouraged or determined by specific platform hardware. If there is one such platform close to my heart, it's the Amiga 500. Around 1993, a distinct demo aesthetic emerged on this platform, serving as inspiration for this page. In the end, however, it's the hand of the artist that ultimately decides the quality of the outcome. Artists are key to the scene, dutifully enabled by all those who may not partake in the creative process but certainly help facilitate it. Here is a tribute to a few of the main players, presented for your enjoyment. |

Around these parts, we most often associate [Drygol] with his incredible ability to bring damaged or even destroyed vintage computers back to life with a seemingly endless bag of repair and restoration techniques. But this time around, at the request of fellow retro aficionado [MrTrinsic], he was given a special assignment to not only build a new Amiga 2000 from scratch, but to pack it with so many mods that just physically fitting them into the case would be a challenge in itself. |

Depending on what your computer hardware can do, there are a number of different ways to approach displaying a scrolling game. We used to have to evaluate each machine that we were writing for, and then design our games around the advantages. That all comes unstuck, of course, when you're asked to convert a game from one platform to another. |

The SDL library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux, *BSD, MacOS, Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces, (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to your application. SDL is a fairly low level API, but using it, completely portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility. |

This is a port of SDL, the Simple Directmedia Layer, for AmigaOS 4.0. SDL is a popular open-source API for games and other software that need low-level access to video and audio hardware and input devices. SDL was created and is maintained by Sam Lantinga, but has had a legion of contributors of the years (see SDL credits). The AmigaOS 4.0 port was created originally by Thomas and Hans Joerg Frieden, but for the last two years has largely been the work of me, Richard Drummond. Other contributors include Juergen Schober (who developed the audio layer). You can find may OS4.0 applications built with SDL at os4depot.net and some that I have built on my Amiga Stuff page. |

This is one of the ports of SDL to the AmigaOS3/68k platform. I cannot comment much on the origins of the code contributions to this port. I've kept the files I got into my hands, along with the various existing Makefiles. The main purpose of this branch (based on SDL 1.2.14, AFAIK) was to provide some bugfixes and performance improvements. Towards the latter point, most of the blitting functions have been rewritten in 68k ASM. Also, some of the routines can switch to AMMX usage (where applicable). This SDL version should work on all Amigas with RTG (Picasso96 or CyberGraphX). |

No Man's Sky director Sean Murray loves how the game looks on an Amiga 1000's colour palette. For our all advances in computing, we can still be incredibly nostalgic for classics like the Amiga. One great example occurred earlier this year, when the vintage computing blog BYTECellar rendered images from No Man's Sky on an Amiga 1000. Now these images have reached the attention of No Man's Sky director Sean Murray. In short, he's quite impressed! To be clear, the game isn't playable on an Amiga. This is simply an effort to render detailed images from the game using the Amiga's 4,096 colour palette. The blog post details how this was accomplished, and the resulting images are still wonders to behold. |

Although I no longer use any of my A500s regularly, I had a few spare hours during a recent rainy day and I decided to try out an idea I had. The intention was to power an A500 SCSI controller and hard drive off the same power supply that powers the A500, eliminating the 2nd power supply and it's attendant complexity and snarls of cables. I tried this idea on both a GVP A500 HD+ and a Commodore A590. |

Using serial to transfer files. When i was setting up my amiga, i needed a way to get files onto floppy disk. My first instinct was to look up how people used to do it or how people do it now. The first suggestion everywhere was to use Amiga Explorer and a null-modem cable or parallel laplink cable. I had the cable already but being me, i didnt want to pay for an out of the box solution. I settled on the opportunity cost of DIYing it with free resources was my way forward. |

About a year ago, I bought an Amiga 600. It did not have a hard drive, but all Amiga 600 have an IDE port, and you can use a Compact Flash card with a CF-IDE adapter as a hard drive. That worked fine, and I could install Workbench on the CF card, and use it. But eventually I though I should try to use WHDLoad, so that I could run more games directly from the hard drive. |

I remember when the original Settlers was released on Amiga in 1993. I was living in Alice Springs at the time, and buying most new release Amiga titles was impossible there. So I never got to play it. {...} Thanks to the efforts of some amazing coders, and using some of the more recent tools like AGABlaster for CDXL conversion of the videos included in the original, we have a version for Amiga that works on classic Amiga 030/040/060 as well as AmigaOS4 based PowerPC systems. |

The Amiga was born a game machine, but it entered a world where the video game industry was well-established and changing rapidly. Long gone were the days where a lone coder would stay up all night in his basement for six weeks and bang out a hit for the Atari 2600. Even the younger and smaller computer game industry had moved far beyond Roberta Williams putting floppy disks into ziplock bags and answering phone calls from players in her kitchen. The success of the Commodore 64 (and on the other side of the pond, the Sinclair Spectrum) meant that more money was available for computer game development, and it was a good thing too, as the more powerful 16-bit machines were starting to seriously test the limits of a one-man development team. |

But long before Lenovo came into the picture, there was Amiga, which competed with IBM and Apple during the mid-80s. The name is a Spanish word meaning a female friend. It was chosen to bring home the message that the computer is user-friendly. |

Siamese PCI. Developer: Index Information. Year of Announcement: 1997. The Siamese PCI was a new Amiga designed to fulfill different gaps in the market. While the BoXeR was aimed purely at Amiga users, the Siamese PCI is designed for Amiga users who also have a PC and cannot justify a whole new computer. It played a similar function as the Amiga bridgeboard but in reverse- the Amiga hardware was located on a PCI and could be used from within the host environment. If released, the card would have utilized a Motorola 68040 33MHz or 68060 66MHz CPU. The use of modern hardware would remove existing bottlenecks- all calculations would have been handled by the host machine, theoretically making it the equivalent of an 68k 100MHz system. Current Amiga technology such as the AGA chipset, 2Mb Chip Ram, CIA's, floppy & IDE connectors would also have been included. |

I was lucky and got hand on a Commodore A1060 "Sidecar". This first part is about the teardown of the Sidecar, and the damage assessment. But what is a Sidecar? When Commodore released the Amiga 1000, its graphics and sound capabilities were unmatched in that price range. However, because the machine was based on the Motorola 68000 processor, users were unable to run existing MS-DOS software on the machine. |

{youtube} Shadow of the Beast was a groundbreaking achievement in video games. In 1989 the concept of multi-layer parallax scrolling, and 120+ colors on screen running on a stock Amiga at 7mhz was unheard of. And yet Psygnosis and Reflections made it possible. As a game - Shadow of the Beast was a disappointment, but as a tech demo? It's one of the greatest ever made. In this episode we take a deep dive into the graphics of Shadow of the Beast. |

Skidmarks for the Amiga was a revolutionary game, both in terms of its isometric view point and the fact it was written in Blitz BASIC. It offered unique graphics with seemingly 3D vehicles on a carefully textured track (which just happened to retain the skidmarks you made on it, even after exiting the course). |

Many people want a home computer for fun, and the Amiga is unsurpassed as a games machine. Many now also want a machine that will allow them to bring work home. IBM and its compatibles dominate the business world -- the Amiga doesn't even use the same microprocessor as the IBM. But there is already a program for current versions of the Amiga called The Transformer, which brings to the computer's screen the familiar A prompt, the hallmark of the IBM PC and its clones. With this software, the Amiga becomes largely compatible with the IBM, although it runs a bit slower and cannot do graphics. |

SmallyMouse2 is a universal USB to quadrature mouse adapter for many 8-bit and 16-bit retro computers and allows the use of modern USB mice on machines such as the Acorn BBC Micro, Acorn Master, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and many more. Unlike most existing mouse adapters, SmallyMouse2 implements a fully USB compatible interface (most current adaptors are PS/2 based) this allows the use of any modern mouse including those that use wireless communications. |

Welcome to the Smart Filesystem website! SFS is a new Amiga filesystem. Take a look at What's New on these pages. SFS will be a new filesystem for your Amiga. SFS was designed from scratch and during its development we've looked at a lot of other filesystems around to try and combine the best features of all of these filesystems into SFS. Currently SFS is already very functional and it is already being tested by a few people. |

The Software Preservation Society (SPS), formerly the Classic Amiga Preservation Society (CAPS), dedicates itself to the preservation of software for the future, namely classic games. As it is, these items are no longer available from their original suppliers, and are mainly in the possession of an ever diminishing community of well willed collectors. However, just by the passage of time these games are affected by the gradual deterioration of the media that stores them. These classics risk being lost forever in the near future, a tragedy that must be prevented. Our main objective is to guarantee the preservation of such an important part of computer gaming history. Preservation dictates that nothing less than authentic representations of the software exist, which are both free of bit rot, and unaltered since the time of production. After a significant amount of research and development, we now have the technology that enables us to do this. |

Hi all, Trying to fill in some gaps in my knowledge. Can anyone please help? 1) Was Amix going to be the default OS of Amiga had it survived or would it have been for the high end computing only? 2) Related to the above would Workbench have been attempted to be rebuilt on it or did they have another UI in mind? 3) Is this a line in the sand for older Amiga apps or would they have included an emulator. I had thought I had heard Dave Haynie say this would the case but can't find a reference to it. Lastly had anyone tried to revive it in the past? I think probably no as I can't find anything. Thanks |

As you may have seen in this other post here I have an interest in this Amiga hard drive controller designed for the Commodore Amiga 500. I used this for years to interface an HDD. At the time I took some photos of the PCB and shared some my notes, I also dumped the Boot ROM from the board, which had already been done previously and compared it. I did it both as an exercise to play with this stuff, but also to see if mine differed from existing sources, which it did not. |

Amiga got Paula sound chip which is a fantastic 14-bit soundcard. But what if you want to upgrade the Amiga sound to be fully 16-bit or that you want to make multiple channel mods? Then you need a 16-bit card. Also, many soundcards for Amiga also got a DSP that can be used for playing MP3s on Classic Amiga machines with 68030 or 68040. The sb128.audio Mediator AHI driver for all MediatorPCI models for Classic Amiga supports Sound Blaster 128 sound cards. |

SoundFX (short "SFX") is an editor for digitized audiodata (samples). SFX is designed in a modular fashion and has a comfortable graphical user interface. With SFX you can apply digital effects to samples (which are absolutely unique on Amiga), play back and record samples, and finaly can cut, trim and edit your samples. SoundFX is shareware. More than 50 effects, with many parameters and complexs ways to modulate them. Nearly every parameter could be modulated. More than 100 presets are included. Reads and writes many sample formats including various compression types (IFF-8SVX,IFF-16SV,IFF-AIFF,IFF-AIFC,MP3,RAW,RIFF-WAV,VOC,SND-AU,...) |

Remember Part 31 of this series of articles on Soundtracker? Those were the days! I fondly remember writing the following, near the end of that article: The next parts will focus on each of the two parallel paths that I highlighted above: The Fairlight CMI path: finding out how they came up with the idea for their Page R sequencer. The Commodore path, going down the JMS rabbit hole, and their Multitrack Composer. Will there be more parts? Who knows? I sure dont! |

So, where were we? In part 1 of this series, we learnt more about Karsten Obarski, who became the Father of the Soundtracker at age 22. Through existing interviews, we got to understand where he came from, how he came to create his Ultimate Soundtracker tool on Amiga in 1987, why he called it quits a few months afterwards and where he probably took his inspiration for The Ultimate Soundtracker. |

It may look a bit dated now but back in '92 it was real eye-popping stuff! Tobias Richter produced many fine rendered animations on the Commodore Amiga back in the day - many of which were released on disk by 17 Bit Software (a UK based PD library). {...} I hope you enjoy this video and it brings back some memories of the good old days of the Commodore Amiga. |

During my restorations, Ive often found it impossible to bring back a computer case to its former glory without using a spray paint. Ive mastered my retr0brighting skills to the max but sometimes the plastic is so unevenly yellowed that it cannot be retr0brighted evenly. Sometimes, some plastics become over retr0brighted. Very often there is a need to fill cracks or holes with a putty and spray painting it afterward is simply a must. |

Disregarding the specific intent of the designers, though, I also think its interesting to repeat the exercise moving from the Atari 800 to the Amiga 500; many of the Amiga Original Chip Sets design decisions around sprites feel like reactions to pain points when developing for the 800, while a few others feel like theyre preserving some old design decisions in the Ataris. |

This article is a compilation of notes, which I wrote when I was exploring the C development options on the Amiga. The reason I wrote it was to organize my thoughts and keep all information in one place. Also, when you start with development for Amiga and you are looking around, you probably find some information confusing and requiring clarification maybe a text from a person, who went through it will help others who decided to take the same journey The article contains source codes and links to all tools I have used, so you can try everything yourself if you have a few spare hours. |

Steve Jobs was aware of the Amiga. He didnt think much of it. Even still, Steve Jobs and the Amiga did have some connections. Jobs opinion of the Commodore PET made bigger headlines after he died, but Jobs had an opinion about the Amiga, too. Both pre- and post-Commodore Amiga. Overall, Jobs thought the Amigas chips were overkill. Brian Bagnalls book On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore states on page 419 that Jobs said there was too much hardware in the machine. |

The purpose was to preserve Amiga music in one of todays most common music format, namely the MP3. The original Amiga music files are today played by millions of people around the world on software players for PC, Mac and Linux. The playback quality/timing of this can vary compared to the authentic playback of a real Commodore Amiga, and from my point of view, why have something emulated when you can have the real deal instead? I want to listen to the authentic Commodore Amiga music as it sounds on the real machine. Commodore Amiga are a legend in computer history and in many ways influenced in todays culture. A special thanks to the wonderful "father" of Amiga: Jay Miner - You shall forever be remembered. Rest In Peace :-( To put in it words we all can understand: WE LOVE AMIGA - WE LOVE MUSIC! The SOAMC= project was an automated recording technique invented by me (Stone Oakvalley) in order to mass record music from the legendary Commodore Amiga and its sound chip (Paula 8364). I have chosen A1200 for the purpose, because I had access to a CF IDE adapter and a CF card so easily without spending too much time finding a suitable HD and turbo/memory card solution for A500. |

If you want a rollercoaster ride, take a look at the graph of Amiga Accelerator prices over time. What was once in stock in every magazine advert at RRP, then became so cheap youd be literally giving them away. But for whatever reason prices started to grow and grow until youd be paying far more than the original price. And thats where we find ourselves now, with even a simple upgrade often costing more than the Amiga it sits in; as an example a Blizzard 1230 board which had an RRP of 279 in 1993 will now set you back over 400 and the price is climbing. For an A500 owner, a GVP A530 sidecar for an A500 is well over the 1990s RRP of 299 and likely still features a vintage SCSI drive, probably close to failure. |

About a year ago, I cancelled by Netflix subscription. One of the few shows listed on the "plus" side when I made my decision was Stranger Things: an entertaining series with an excellent first and good second season. In short, I'm a fan of the show - though my appreciation of it doesn't come near my fanatical passion for the Amiga home computer. |

During my recent jaunt to the A4000 launch in Los Angeles, I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Jay as he cast his fatherly eye over the next generation of the architecture he created all those years ago. We talked and ate as he reiterated the fascinating history of the secret project that resulted in the birth of a remarkable machine, which has survived mainly because of his foresight and supreme effort. |

The article describes writing C++ programs for AmigaOS without the standard library and its startup code. Compiler used is GCC 2.95.3, the last version, which can be run and used on moderately expanded classic Amiga.

Many AGA Amiga users have experienced irritating flashing display "trashes" appearing in higher resolution AGA display modes like DblPAL or Multiscan. In general opinion these artifacts are caused by AGA chips overheating, being loaded with larger amount of video data to process. This opinion is so common, that even Jens Schnfeld in user manual for his Indivision AGA scandoubler, recommends attaching a radiator to the Alice chip if trashes appear on the screen. Unfortunately it does not work, as I've learned myself. |

So everyone let's help him out!} Hello everyone! I have assembled an ADF image on my little game/tech-demo I have been working on for the past few months. This is my first C/ASM Amiga game, so it took a fairly long time and was very challenging and fun to work on. I would be extremely grateful to have your input, comments, suggestions about it. Should it be useful to others, I could put the whole project and source code on GitHub, but otherwise I would be happy to answer any questions too. As I mentioned, this being my first serious game project on an Amiga, it is certain that a lot of things could be done better, safer, more compatible, more efficient, etc. |

There are plenty of accelerators for big-box Amigas, some fits fine to all Amiga models such as Cyberstorm MK2 and 3, some are especially designed for A3000 (G-Force 040), another ones only for A4000 (Cyberstorm MK1) and some only for A4000T (QuikPak 4060). Amiga 4000T is big and spacious so ideal for any kind of cpu accelerator. I thought QuikPak is the only one accelerator designated for A4000T only. Until now! |

The Amiga is the cat of computing. The bird Phoenix. The zombie that refuses to stay in the grave. It seems to have lived multiple lives and died multiple deaths. And each time, it has been taking a lot of unique design ideas and technologies with it into the grave. On this page I shall attempt to describe some of the things I miss, hoping that some day, someone will pick it up and carry on where the Amiga left. I may also describe things that did survive, but are now so rare that I think they need to be exposed further. |

In September 1979 the world of computing changed forever, with the release of the Motorola 68000 CPU. The 16/32-bit CISC microprocessor was the first in a family of chips that continued until 1994. The 68k's swan song came with the monolithic 68060; Motorola's last roll of the dice before embarking upon their RISC PowerPC adventure. |

The Amiga was a great computer when it made its debut in 1985, better by far than anything else on the market. At its heart was the wonderchip of the era, the Motorola 68000, the same CPU found in the Apple Macintosh and the Atari ST. But what made the Amiga special was the stuff found around the 68000: three custom chips with the unforgettable names of Paula, Denise, and Agnus. Together they gave the Amiga the best graphics and sound in the industry by a veritable order of magnitude. {5 parts} |

In letting the March 31, 1984, deadline slip away without signing a licensing agreement with Atari, David Morse was taking a crazy risk. If he couldnt find some way of scraping together $500,000 plus interest to repay Ataris loan, Atari could walk away with the Amiga chipset for nothing, and Amiga would almost certainly go bust. |

The Commodore/Amiga honeymoon could hardly have been more idyllic. Honoring the wishes of everyone at Amiga to not get shipped off to Commodores headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania, Commodore instead moved them just ten miles from their cramped offices in Santa Clara, California, to a spacious new facility in Los Gatos, surrounded by greenery and well-tended walking paths that gave it something of the atmosphere of a university campus. |

In the years following Jack Tramiels departure, Commodore suffered from a severe leadership deficit. The succession of men who came and went from the companys executive suites with dizzying regularity often meant well, were often likable enough in their way. Yet they were also weak-willed men who offered only timid, conventional ideas whilst living in perpetual terror of the real boss of the show, Commodores dilettantish chairman of the board and interfering largest stockholder Irving Gould. |

People love their games machines. Genesis vs Super Nintendo. PlayStation 3 vs Xbox 360. Epoch Cassette Vision vs, er, the Arcadia 2001. If you've owned a gaming box you probably had a view on how it stacks against the competition. But how often do we factor in the controller? As the bit you actually need to get your feels on, it's important. Like, really important. With this in mind, let's take a gander at seven games controllers that didn't so much let the side down, as scuttle the bloody ship altogether. And there isn't an N64 controller in sight. |

The Amiga computer was a legend in its time. Back when the Macintosh had only a monochrome 9-inch screen, and the PC managed just four colors and monotone beeps, the Amiga boasted a 32-bit graphical operating system in full color with stereo-sampled sound and preemptive multitasking. It was like a machine from the future. But the Amigas parent company, Commodore, suffered from terminal mismanagement and folded in 1994, just as PCs and Macintoshes were catching up technologically. The platform, like many others before it, seemed to be at an end. So when a brand new Amiga computer arrived at my doorstep in 2017, you can imagine it was quite a surprise. Accordingly, the Amiga X5000 is a curious beast. In some respects, it's more closely related to its predecessors than either modern PCs or Macintoshes. Yet this is a fully current machine capable of taking on modern workloads. How such a device came to be is a fascinating story, but that's not our goal todaylets dive into what the experience of using the X5000 is like. |

This is the Amiga developement tools project that host a number of tools that can be used to develop applications for AmigaOS and Amigaoid systems. At the moment only the version for the latest AmigaOS version (4.x) is in a relatively good shape while this is probably not the case for the other systems. The main repo is still hosted on a SVN repository under https://sf.net/projects/adtools. It uses the concept of vendor branches but this is making quick progress nearly impossible, so a new approach is tested here. In contrast to the original approch, build products that are based on other projects (e.g. gcc) are not imported directly into this repository. Instead only the patches that need to be applied to a given base version (e.g. stock gcc 6) are directly stored and maintained. |

My love for the Amiga began before I got my first, back in October of 1985. Of the various models released during its lifetime, my favorite is the original, the Amiga 1000. Over the past few weeks Ive spent a lot of time on my 1000 and, as is always the case, the capabilities of this nearly 32-year-old machine amaze me. Ive put together a bit of a usage demo to highlight some of the systems features that stand out to me. Its quite casual and without any particular direction, just me using various programs and prattling on about them. I hope those familiar will enjoy a bit of nostalgia and those not will be intrigued to some degree by this amazing computer. |

You have a machine that shook the tech world to its core, that was embraced by pop culture heavy-weights like Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry, and brought professional-level creative computing into peoples homes. Its like Doc Brown brought the 1000 back with him in his Delorean and left it on our doorsteps. |

In the world of retrocomputing its the earliest models that garner the most interest, usually either due to their rarity, or sometimes just because of their flaws. The Commodore Amiga 1000 is a case in point, it was the machine everybody wanted but its A500 home computer sibling made the Amiga a success story. Peripherals for the 500 are plentiful then, while those for the 1000 remain a rarity. Thus its a treat to see an A1000 peripheral appear in the present day, in the form of a memory, clock, and SD card expansion called the Parciero. It packs 8Mb of SRAM to give the Amiga some truly quick fast memory, something that would have used an eye-wateringly expensive brace of chips back in the day but now has just a single package. |

Back in the late 1980s, Commodore pulled the masterstroke of selling several models and generations of Amiga that were all powered by essentially the same speed 68000 and associated chipset. Sure, there were differences in the RAM and other options you could fit and later models had a few extra graphics modes. Still, the entry-level A500 did substantially the same as the high-end A2000. No matter, we the fans all wanted a 2000 anyway, though we typically found ourselves unable to afford one. Its 2021 now though, so if you never achieved the dream of owning your own A2000, now you can build one of your own! Its the task [Drygol] has taken on, with an A2000 made entirely from new components, save for a few salvaged Commodore-specific chips and connectors. |

The Amiga 300 is officially a model that doesn't exist. You won't find it on any old adverts, in a museum, or on the shelf of your collection. Or will you? There is a chance you have one, but you just don't realize. As one has just come into the Pure Amiga workshop for a bit of refurbishment, we thought it an ideal time to find out a bit more about it. |

Amiga lore is full of exciting tales. Many of them are retold to demonstrate how the incompetence of Commodore's management destroyed a platform that, by rights, was destined for success. Coulda, shoulda, and the Amiga woulda risen as rightful ruler of all other computer platforms, forever and ever. Amen. One of those stories is about how Sun Microsystems allegedly showed interest in the Amiga 3000 during the early 1990s. It's a classic Amiga anecdote, usually recounted without much reflection, and one I've certainly helped perpetuate. Alas, the more I think about it, the less it adds up. Fact or factoid? Let's speculate! |

A friend came over with his beloved Amiga 500 and wanted me to help him get Kickstart v 3.1 installed. It turned out to be a rev.5 motherboard. The kickstart is basically a part of the Amigas OS, and the software is stored on ROM chips. The Amiga 500 has only one ROM, but other models might have two. |

The original Amiga computer was launched to the public on July 23, 1985, in a legendary demonstration at Lincoln Center in New York featuring the likes of Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry. Prior to that epic event, however, there was another Amiga - a lesser-known member of the family most have never even heard of. Back in 1984/1985 Commodore created a few hundred Development Edition machines called the Amiga Development System. Sometimes, due to a very unique early design, they are also sometimes referred to as Velvet which was a name for a particular motherboard layout some had. |

Almost everyone who has used an Amiga has seen the flashing red box on a black background, with some cryptic text, and known that whatever they were doing is now gone. This was shown when the computer experienced an error that it could not recover from (crashed to use the more common terminology), and the cryptic text gave an idea of what had gone wrong. Most people just pressed the left mouse button, which would then restart the machine, and go back to whatever they were doing, often cursing the guru. |

Nearly all the magazines in this list could be bought on newsstands and most of them were quite large (>100 pages an issue) and published for many years. In the 90s, the Amiga at that time was probably the computer with the largest number of magazines published per computers sold. The list is not complete - I restrict my list to those I got myself or where I receive some review/opinions and cover scans from you - I'd be happy to see your contribution on this page! |

[Dave] takes a look at how Commodore succeeded and then lost their way by the time the 600 rolled out. Keep in mind that low-cost was a relative term. A $500 price tag was higher than it seems today and even at that price, you had no monitor or hard drive. So at a $1,000 for a practical system you might as well go for a PC which was taking off at the same time. |

Of all the home computer stories, Amiga is probably the most interesting, diverse and long. One reason for that is the number of machines Commodore produced for the Amiga line in an attempt to diversify and capture the market throughout the 80s and 90s. For that reason and to ensure you have adequate toilet breaks, this documentary will be broken into two parts, and following in the lines of chronological ordering, we begin, like all things, at the beginning. |

The Commodore Amiga began its life at Atari. Jay Miner, an engineer at the enormous video game company and the creator of the Atari 800 personal computer, wanted to create a console centered around a 16-bit processor and a floppy drive, which would make development for the new console very easy and inexpensive. {...} Amigas Origin. Miner lined up $7 million in investments from a group of dentists, and Hi-Toro was formed. Hi-Toro had two divisions: one to produce games and peripherals for the Atari 2600, the other to develop the new console, which was named Lorraine (after the wife of CEO Dave Morse). |

Released in 1990, the video is aimed at first time users so is very basic in it's approach - it was intended to give an overview of basic funtionality and describes in sections the CLI, Shell, Printers, disk copying etc. The video production looks very dated! |

What is it about ? First and foremost, this is a preservation project. Workbench are a significant part of the Commodore Amiga History such as the Kickstart roms. This is more or less like having the original MS Windows or Mac OS in their original factory state lost forever. This initiative came from the observation that many of the Commodore Workbench adf images floating around the web for years were made without paying attention whether they came from unaltered or unmodified disks or faithful to their original factory state. For example, very few images contained in the TOSEC project are marked as being verified. {...} What you will find on this website is only information about the floppies that contained the Workbench and Kickstart software such as part numbers, Version and revision data, year, country and above all CRC data for dumps and the status for these dumps. |

Everyone knows the big picture. Commodore's Amiga was a desktop PC way ahead of its time, sporting a discrete GPU, sound chip and developer support years before x86 got its gaming boots on. Its demise is equally infamous, the company pissing away a leading position amid mismanagement and incompetence. But did you ever know the small picture? The details? |

Painting a reproduction from life is a challenge. At least, it is for me. It gets even harder when youre trying to paint from life and combine in additional elements to the piece. It makes it even harder when you need to do this at least 30 times a second. It gets even harder when youre a silicon chip and you cant even hold a paintbrush! One of the great things about the custom chipset in the original Amigas (the Original Chip Set, or OCS, and the Enhanced Chip Set, or ECS) are the tools they have to do 2D graphics very, very well. Agnus, the controller of Chip RAM, comes equipped with a tool called a blitter, whose purpose is to copy big blocks of memory around in Chip RAM very quickly. |

The Amiga was a marvel of computing at release, with a custom set of processor chips that took over audio, video, and I/O from the CPU, allowing the computer to do so much more than other machines of the era. These custom chips - Agnus, Denise, and Paula - made the Amiga the Amiga, and when the Amiga first came out, all of the RAM in the machine was made accessible to them, to really show off the machines potential. The RAM these custom chips had access to was called Chip RAM, cause the custom chip Agnus, and not the CPU, managed access to that memory. My first real computer, an Amiga 500, came with 512KB of Chip RAM. Back then, this was a lot, but, as with all things computers, memory needs steadily grew, and the 512KB it was released with in 1987 quickly became insufficient. |

What is Amithlon and how did it ended up being the biggest legal debacles of the Amiga scene? Its a Linux and latter QNX kernel based emulator. The beauty of Amithlon comes from the fact that the software had direct hardware access and custom chip emulation disabled the Amithlon outperformed the almighty A4000. |

Why this was created. This is the AMOS Professional manual that have been reworked for the modern web. It was first digitized by Asymetrix in 2008 and uploaded to Aminet and other places. However the HTML version was made for browsers current at that time and also closely followed how the paper book was laid out. This meant that navigating though the book was much like scanning to a chapter and then flipping pages. Asymetrix did a great job getting the manual in the hands of people no longer able to purchase original which has gone out of print. We owe him a great thanks. |

My office-mate had worked at Commodore a few years earlier (where Jack had been CEO) and said If this is true, Im quitting. Im not working for Jack again; hes a monster.

Long before the Internet escaped from the lab, connected the planet and redefined what it meant to use a computer... there was a brave and pioneering band of computer users who spent their time, money and sanity setting up their home computers and phone lines to welcome anyone who called. By using a modem, anyone else who knew the phone number of these computers could connect to them, leave messages, send and recieve files.... and millions did. They called these places "Bulletin Board Systems", or BBSes. And their collections of messages, rants, thoughts and dreams became the way that an entire generation learned about being online. When the Internet grew in popularity in the early 1990s, the world of the BBS faded, changed, and became a part of the present networked world.. but it wasn't the same. In the Summer of 2001, Jason Scott, a computer historian (and proprietor of the textfiles.com history site) wondered if anyone had made a film about these BBSes. They hadn't, so he decided he would. |

Way back in 1989, when I worked for one of the many CBM divisions, I kept a paper that had a list of custom chips that I ran across in my work. The list got a lot of requests and kept growing. When CBM went under I moved the list over to AmigaGuide. It is a simple idea. It is a AmigaGuide sorted by the chip name and its function. Within that there is information on the full chip name, CBM Part Number and Machines used in. The guide covers machines from A500 to A4000T (and AA3000/A3000+) and CDTV(II) to CD32. OCS to AAA chipsets. Cards such as Gemini & A2631. |

The Buffy Accelerator, so named because of its Vampire killing ability, is a zero-FPGA, zero-CPLD, pure-CPU accelerator for the Amiga Computer. It is designed to fit inline with a 64 DIP socket and should be compatible with the Amiga 500, 1000, 2000 and CDTV. Its based on the amazing Octavo OSD335x System-in-Package which hosts a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor (about 2000 MIPS), 512MB or 1GB of DDR3 memory as well as various peripherals. It runs PJIT from a small eXecute-in-Place (XiP) Flash ROM and is not designed to run and general purpose operating system itself. |

PJIT is part of the Buffee Project. PJIT is a real-time version of JIT that avoids the traditional issues of dynamic memory allocation and non-determinism. It is designed to run as a bare metal process on ARM microprocessors operating in big endian mode to provide transparent access to a traditional 68K bus. It is useable with ARM SoC that integrate only a modest (by today's standards) amount of memory. |

Whenever I see code that asks what the native byte order is, it's almost certain the code is either wrong or misguided. And if the native byte order really does matter to the execution of the program, it's almost certain to be dealing with some external software that is either wrong or misguided. If your code contains #ifdef BIG_ENDIAN or the equivalent, you need to unlearn about byte order. |

Working from floppy. Commodore produced a great many Amiga models, but for several years the gold standard was an Amiga 500 expanded with half a meg of RAM (bringing the total to a full megabyte) and an external floppy drive (bringing the total number to two). For the demo scene, this was the only Amiga configuration that mattered during the late 1980:s and early 1990:s. |

The circled Commodore CDTV Brick was a 1990s CDTV input device that sadly never made it to retail shelves. Instead, it appears that its functionality was integrated into the Commodore CDTV CD1200 (below). The design of this Brick is entirely based on reverse engineering the protocols from the CD1200 Trackball, CD1252/CD1253 mice, Brickette, and the CDTV Remote. |

A very brief and high level look at the history of logos used by the company that brought us the Commodore 64. From their humble beginnings in 1958 as Commodore Portable Typewriter Company Limited, to the creation of the famous "chicken lips" logo in 1965 when they were called Commodore Business Machines (Canada) Limited, to their demise in 1994 as Commodore International Limited. |

There are plenty of cool Amiga setups, past and present. A towerized Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard PPC accelerator? Sweet. A painted black Amiga 600 with a small TFT screen mounted on its case? Yes, please! An Amiga 500 with an old external hard drive and, inside, a Blizzard card with a 14 MHz 68000 CPU and two megs of fastmem? Stop, you're making me salivate! |

MiSTer FPGA is a remarkable platform for retro gaming. {...} However, the high cost of owning one of these devices has always been a prime consideration to potential buyers, and recent parts shortages have pushed the price up even more. It's welcome news, then, to hear that a $99 MiSTer mainboard is on its way, which massively reduces the barrier of entry for anyone interested in taking the plunge.tion |

Im considered to be a server guy. I had access to some really awesome server machines. Still, when computers come up in discussions, we are almost exclusively talk about workstations. Even if servers are an important part of my life, thats just work. I loved the SGI workstations I had access to during my university years. Many of my friends still occasionally boot their 30 years old Amiga boxes. |

Commodore buy QL beater, said Personal Computing Today in November 1984, referring to Sinclairs hugely unsuccessful QL machine. Byte Magazine in April 1984 had a small news story about how Joystick maker Amiga Corp. is developing a 68000-based home computer with a custom graphics coprocessor. Both outlets were excited by the prospect of a microcomputer that would be much more powerful than anything currently on the market, but in both cases, were quite reserved about it. |

The Daring Rescue of Pacuvia the Sheep is a short, bizarre, traditional interactive fiction game for C64, Amiga, MS-Dos, Windows and Tandy Model 100. But it's also something more, it's a - drumroll - sentimental research project! Your character is an operative of a mysterious Agency, on a dangerous mission: rescuing the bioengineered sheep called Pacuvia from the clutches of a guy too idiot to understand what he's got. Strapped of all your digital support for security reasons, you'll have to rely on your good ol' analogic equipment to recover Pacuvia. And don't forget she's not necessarily helpless... |

What you have here is the first set of documents from old Commodore that I managed to assemble. This is definitely a work in progress, and it doesn't progress fast. Much of the Amiga stuff was done on Amigas, but unfortunately at different times. So I didn't necessarily still have the programs necessary to read and convert some of this documentation to ASCII and/or the portable document format (PDF, Adobe's Acrobat format, as close as you're likely to get to a universal format). {Buster, AA- Lisa, A2620, A2330, A3640, A3000+, A2631, Acutiator, Gemini, NYX, AAA, Zorro III and more!!} |

This page contains .ZIP archives of much of my Amiga work done in Draco. This stuff can be run on many systems (e.g. Linux and Windows) using UAE, the Universal Amiga Emulator, available online. My Ubuntu-based Linux distribution includes it, ready for installation. To use it, you will need an Amiga ROM and system disk, which are available for a small fee at: amigaforever.com. I purchased their Android version, and copied the needed images from there to my Linux system. More information on the Draco compiler, etc. can be seen on my CP/M archives page. The Amiga version generates code for the Motorola MC68000 processor instead of the Intel 8080 processor, of course. |

This site tells the story of me and a friend of mine trying to upgrade an Amiga 600 to the max. Why would you want to do so? Well, hard to explain. It's a freak thing. So if you don't like the Amiga or even don't know what it is, if you've never experienced the wish to do something crazy, well then you better stop reading now. This project was completely irrational -- and therefore one hell lot of fun! |

{Not Amiga related but it does discuss another odd-ball Commodore computer so I find it interesting}Of the computers produced and prototyped by Commodore, most people are likely well-acquainted with the PET, VIC-20, C64 and C128, as well as the never released Commodore 65. Of these systems many examples and plentiful of documentation exist, but probably among the most rare is the Commodore 900, as recently covered by [Neil] over at RMC The Cave on YouTube. The Commodore 900, conceived in 1983, was intended to become a microcomputer based on the 16-bit Zilog Z8001 CPU that targeted businesses as a UNIX workstation. |

A rather hastily written and sloppily edited piece showed up on Slashdot yesterday morning that caught my attention, because it was about the Amiga 2000. The Amiga 2000 is a dear machine to me; in 1991, our family upgraded to one from a Commodore 128. I still have both machines, and there isnt much that I know today that I didnt first experience on one of those two machines. |

Long ago, in 1985, personal computers came in two general categories: the friendly, childish game machine used for fun (exemplified by Atari and Commodore products); and the boring, beige adult box used for business (exemplified by products from IBM). The game machines became fascinating technical and artistic platforms that were of limited real-world utility. The IBM products were all utility, with little emphasis on aesthetics and no emphasis on fun. Into this bifurcated computing environment came the Commodore Amiga 1000. |

This project is all about nostalgia. It started with a thread at Amiga.org, created by a member called Kristian95. His idea was to order unpopulated PCB's made from the plans created by Georg Braun. The special about these boards and the design is that it re-creates the classical Commodore Amiga 1000 with some major improvments. You may wonder why not stay with the MiniMig, but there is a significant difference. The MiniMig emulates the OCS Amiga 500 by using an FPGA containing code that are based on reverse-engineering. This Amiga 1000 reincarnation uses the original chipset from actual Amigas, making the result 100% Amiga-compatible (the MiniMig does have it's flaws in the emulation). Still, this design aren't a blue-copy of the original Amiga 1000 machine: several enhancments have been implemented by Georg (features that normally comes as expansion boards). This includes 68030/68882 CPU setup, 32 bit memory, IDE-controller and a flicker-fixer. |

I've always liked the idea of the Greaseweazle. I tried to build one some time ago with a spare Blue Pill board I had. Suffice to say, I never got it working for one reason or another and soon lost interest... ... It has just arrived so I thought I'd document the learning process now so that when I need to use it, I can just refer back to these notes instead of having to try and piece it together. For all I know, it might be simple enough to not need these notes.... we shall find out. |

If you want to code Amiga AGA demos, are able to program, but don't know how to get started on the Amiga, then this document is for you. Also if you are already more experienced on Amiga and want to learn about how we do our demos. This document describes how to set up and use the Haujobb Amiga Framework on Amiga and PC. The framework allows for prototyping, debugging, and timing effects natively on the PC (currently Windows mainly, but Mac and Linux should work as well); and then cross-compiling for the Amiga. We have used these exact codes and workflows for our demo Beam Riders; and prior versions for Last Train to Danzig and Prototype 1. This document guides you through setting up the required components in small steps with immediate incentives leading up to a complete example demo with timing done via the Rocket editor. To get started, first read the guide to the document section to find your way around. Then go and make a demo about it! |

The original first generation of Amigas such as the A500, A600, A1000 and A2000 all used a Motorola designed 68000 CPU inside. Many Amiga users eventually upgraded theirs to have an accelerator, usually based on the 68020 or 68030 CPU. But there is a contender that is a drop-in replacement for the 68000, and for some things it can be quite a bit faster. About the 68010 |

I said that I have been cooperating with the exclusive-paper.com company for a long time. Once I had to write a report on the topic of who influenced my life. And actually, this page is about it. A Nose for the Future - the Legacy of Jack Tramiel- Jack Tramiel, the founder of Commodore, died in April (2012) in California, at the age of 83. He was my mentor and a great influence on my life. My first day with Commodore was April 1, 1980 - I had requested a meeting with Jack to ask him for a job. I was super confident because I already had job offers from Apple where I had been hanging out for a few months (I knew Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Mike Markula), and from Atari. In our first meeting, Jack asked me, "What do you know about Commodore?" and I replied, "I don't know much about Commodore but people who know you seem to think you're some kind of crook - but if you're not in prison, I figure you're not a crook but a shrewd businessman, and I'd like to learn to be shrewd like that." Those were my exact words because I practiced them for 45 minutes in front of a mirror. I wanted to shock Jack into hiring me and I had nothing to lose because I could always go to Apple. |

The hot spot determines where your mouse cursor is pointing, i. e. the exact pixel that is considered the active pixel. This isnt necessarily the top left edge. {...} For a mouse pointer of 1616 pixels, like the classic Amigas had, you could encode the hot spot as two bytes in the range of 0 to 15, with (0,0) being the upper left corner. The actual implementation takes a different route {...} Why is that? Apparently, this is related to a bug in the MoveSprite library call. |

What is Linux/m68k? Linux/m68k is the port of the Linux operating system to run on systems using Motorola's 68020, 68030, 68040 and 68060 microprocessors. Linux/m68k, like other Linux ports, is source compatible with Linux on other platforms. Current releases of the m68k kernel are stable on the Amiga, Atari, many Apple Macintosh models, and several VMEbus single-board computers from BVM, Motorola and Tadpole. In addition, ports are underway (with varying levels of progress) to the HP 9000/300 series, the NeXT workstation (black hardware), the Q40 and Q60, and Sun 3 series workstations. |

The "Lorraine" is the original prototype Amiga from which all other models are drawn from. It consisted of a 68000 probably running at 7.16Mhz, 128K RAM and a 64K ROM to hold what would have become known as Kickstart. The Early chipset consisted of Angus, Portia (which later became Paula), Daphne (which later became Denise) and various other custom logic arrays which eventually became IC's. The actual Lorraine is a mass of development breadboards and wires with a base unit and keyboard. |

These photographs were taken of the actual Lorraine (really this time ^^) at Vintage Computer Festival 6.0, October 2003; an early Amiga developer prototype made near the end of 1984, as exhibited at VCF 4.0, September 2000; and concept sketches of the production Lorraine exhibited with it at VCF 4. These units and sketches are owned by ex-Amiga engineer Dale Luck; alas, none of them are functional currently. |

{COMPUTE! ISSUE 166 / JULY 1994 / PAGE 68} To understand Thornton's success, you must also know something of "Babylon 5," a revolutionary science-fiction television series airing weekly on Warner-affiliate stations. Since the pilot episode early last year, the video effects industry, science-fiction fans, TV Guide, and even Hollywood's high-powered executive class have taken notice of Foundation Imaging, the effects house that provides the brunt of computer graphics for the show. What the series and Foundation Imaging prove in tandem is that you simply don't have to spend millions of dollars for quality work. |

The MouSTer is a device that enables modern USB HID mice to be used on various retro computers. The project has been through its ups and downs over years, but [drygol] is here to say one thing: rumors of the MouSTers demise have been greatly exaggerated. Now, the project is back and better than ever! |

The mouSTer project was initially described in one of my previous posts as an adapter that will support multiple retro computers. This is a device that allows connecting any USB (not ps/2 protocol type only) mouse to as many old computers as possible. |

It took a month of off-hour research and a long long fall down a very deep rabbit hole of computer history, but (mixing metaphors), today I found the needle in the haystack that dropped me into that hole in the first place. Satisfaction is a wonderful feeling. {...} I found the better answer today in an interview with the team at Motorola that built the 68000. |

July 1995 The Beehive Logo. At the first Amiga Technologies GmbH press conference, several pictures of a new design for an Amiga tower case were released. The design had a small `beehive'-like logo which was obviously intended as a new symbol for the Amiga. When these pictures were distributed on the Internet, much dicussion ensued on the Amiga-related Usenet newsgroups. In general, people liked the design of the tower case but were unsure about the small triangular logo. |

The Apollo Teams Vampire FGPA-based accelerators are also among the most sought after upgrades for Amiga performance enthusiasts. There are an array of Vampires out there for various model Amigas, but the Vampire V4 is the newest and most powerful. And one iteration can actually function as a standalone Amiga it doesnt need to be installed in an existing system. The Vampire V4 is an Altera FPGA-based standalone computing device, which recreates a Motorola 680x0 class CPU and all of the custom Amiga chips inside the FPGA, but add some new features and capabilities as well. The Apollo Core that runs on the Vampires FPGA is a code-compatible Motorola 68K processor, that also offers approximately 3x 4x the performance of the fastest actual 68060, which was the highest-performing 68K series processor available during the original Amigas heyday. |

Background. The Amiga custom chips (affectionately named Alice, Lisa and Paula in the AGA version of the chipset) were remarkably powerful for their time, enabling the Amiga computers with their modestly-powered CPUs to perform graphical and musical feats that required heavy computation on most contemporary platforms. This challenge aims to discover just how powerful these chips really are by exploring what they can do completely on their own, without the CPU even telling them what to do. |

TOGA, The Other Group of Amigoids, was formed in 1991 by Lawrence Brown. He had moved to California from another state where he was involved with an Amiga user group called Amigoids. Lawrence is no longer involved with our group. He currently works for Cisco Systems in Menlo Park, CA. While with Cisco and with Cisco's help, he was actively involved in getting computers (specifically Amigas) in to local schools. |

An other choice would be Eric Chahi's 1991 critically acclaimed[1]" title "Another World", better known in North America as "Out Of This World" which also happens to be ubiquitous. |

The Sage IV computer was the ideal development platform used by Commodore engineers for testing and refining early hardware prototypes. It was essentially a development and debugging environment that helped simulate the behavior of the eventual Amiga hardware. As the Lorraine prototype was being developed, it used a combination of early versions of the Motorola 68000 processor and custom chips that would form the backbone of the Amiga architecture. |

As most of you are aware, there are different ways to create Amiga games, either through Amos, Blitz Basic, RedPill or through the rather lackluster Backbone. But one such engine is making its presence known, and thats Earoks Scorpion engine; a constantly updated piece of software that gives developers the tools to create graphically impressive games, running at decent frame rates even on the lowest specd Amigas. |

It was essentially an attempt to recreate the legendary puzzle game Tetris, but specifically inspired by Ataris arcade version of Tetris. As a result, much of the focus was on two players competing against each other simultaneously on a split screen. |

As Commodores Amiga had dragged itself, almost kicking and screaming, from the high-priced, productivity-focused world of workstations and onto desks of regular punters around Europe (the world would be pushing it), it felt like there was nothing this computer couldnt do. |

I recently got the Vampire V2 working on my A500, the following is some of my learnings and musings. First, be aware that as far as Apollo are concerned the V2 is old news. They havent sold it for over two years, and are concentrating on the V4 line - I got one of the two last ones (the other is also in Brisbane) and its sat on my shelf until a week ago. It means youre kind of on your own. There is a discord chat but I found it a waste of time, and there is a forum on the Apollo-computing page but to be honest it was easier to just figure everything out on my own. If youve set up a Pi or another Amiga by writing an image to a card youll probably be fine but do be aware some assistance may be needed if you havent done it before. |

The X500 Plus is a computer case I designed as a tribute to the computers of the 80s and 90s and its overall inspired by the Commodore Amiga 500. Its a wedge styled computer case with inbuilt, full size keyboard. The X500 Plus has a retro feeling but with modern, clean lines and lots of internal space. Its made of aluminium, plastic and steel and its designed for modern computer hardware. The X500 Plus allows you to build your own modern, powerful computer, with your choice of components and Operating System like Windows, Linux, AmigaOS, AROS, MOS etcyou can use it for your mini-itx x86 motherboards, PowerPC boards such as the SAM motherboards by ACube, the Natami and the upcoming FPGAArcade Replay board, basically any board which is mini-itx or flex-atx format with low profile heat sinks (overall internal height is 52mm). |

Websites about Commodore emulation on the Mac are very scarce. The majority of those available are old and obsolete. Many aren't updated regularly and some projects or teams completely ignore the Mac even though some nifty programmer has done a Mac port of that particular project. |

I started with a series of articles in Swedish that I never finished (there will be a second part though), and I recently wondered why the classic C64 and Amiga covers arent part of the evergreen poster culture (also in Swedish). Now the time has come to start writing about how some of my favourite game covers actually were created, and how I found these things out. |

After years of mismanagement and questionable product tie-ins, the 80s computer brand is back, now with a fan at the helm. But is the appetite for retro gaming still big enough for it to succeed? |

Use the screen you want on the computer you love. We're long time fans of the Amiga franchise here at Tom's Hardware and can't ignore our biases when it comes to awesome Raspberry Pi crossover projectslike this HDMI hack for the Amiga 500, created by a maker known as Reinhard Grafl. The project essentially uses a Raspberry Pi to work with an adapter board to convert the Amiga video signal into HDMI output. It's designed to work with Amiga versions that use a socketed DIP Denise chip. |

{...} Rob Smith Dev has shared on their YouTube channel over two videos (1, 2) of them building the game (via Hackaday), called DiskFight. The Amiga-based machine challenges you with popping in floppy disks at high speed to gain points. Smith created their own linear actuators to load underneath the floppy disks, to give springs under the floppy disk the force to either entirely bounce out of their holder, or press up just a little. |

On April 23, 1987, Thomas Rattigan drove to work just as he would any other day. But when he arrived at Commodores office building in suburban Philadelphia that morning, company guards informed him hed been fired. They escorted him from the premises, not even giving him a chance to gather his family photos from his desk. It sounded like a cruel April Fools joke, but it wasnt April Fools Day. That was the day Commodore promoted him, on April Fools Day 1986. Rattigan ended up having the last laugh, although it took a few years. |

TooIzzi is a small game development studio located in Brazil. Its name is a play on words combining "too" with "easy" in English, representing our commitment to creating games that are easy to learn but not so easy to master. Our focus is on developing intelligent games with mechanics that challenge players logical reasoning. We believe games should be both enjoyable and cognitively stimulating. We are a small team that creates small games, but they are fun and enjoyable to play. |

Double-height recreation of Amigas iconic Topaz typeface. This is an Amiga-native recreation of one of the most beautiful and readable 88 pixel typefaces ever created: Topaz now rendered in pixel-perfect 816px for modern resolutions. Out of the box, Amiga used a tall (~2:1) resolution 640200 (NTSC) or 640256 (PAL) -- which means that the standard Topaz typeface/font would be half-height if you were using it with resolutions with a pixel aspect ratio closer to 1:1. For some reason, there has never been an Amiga-native version of a double-height Topaz (at least not that I could find) for use with resolutions with a square (1:1) pixel ratio, so I made one. |

What is it? TouchBench is an application that converts touchscreen events produced by touch.device into mouse events. Why? All the applications developed for the amiga until now, obviously only involve the use of the mouse, since there was no API that managed touch events, like the one provided by touch.device. TouchBench allows all pre-existing applications that do not use touch.device to be used with a touchscreen. I developed this application to be able to use point and click games or touch-friendly applications like MihPhoto with my touchscreen, and as first test application for touch.device. |

These are the sources for TRIPOS, an operating developed between 1976 and 1982, headed by Dr Martin Richards and others between the University of Cambridge and later University Bath (origin of the MC68000 port, used as the foundation of AmigaDOS). You can find more out about the history of this operating system on its Wikipedia entry. |

The core of the Amiga Operating systems consists of the three major components Exec (scheduling, memory management, IPC), Intuition (GUI library) and AmigaDOS (process and file management). AmigaDOS is based on the Tripos operating system which Commodore bought because development of their own DOS subsystem failed to meet deadlines. In this article, I am presenting searchable PDFs of the very rare Tripos manuals (638 pages) as well as the AmigaDOS manual (304 pages). Comparing the two documents will share some insight in the relationship between Tripos and Amiga OS. |

A lot of hardware-related news today, but this one will probably mean the most to us alternative OS fans: it seems AmigaOS 4 has found hardware to actually run on. The board will have an IBM 750GL at 800 MHz with 1MB of L2 cache, and will support processors up to 1Ghz. Also: One of the biggest changes to the Amy05 design from our first released specification is the addition of the AMD Geode CS5536 companion device. For Project Prometheus/Amy05 this becomes Amys Southbridge. The current board is is a development board, and will be made available in a limited quantity for hardware testing/OS4 development. |

Together with Powericons and the remarkable dock addon WBDock 2 for AmigaOS. You can even make AmigaOS 3.2.1 to display crystal clear TrueType fonts, and you dont even need to be a scientist to make it work either. In this article, I want to share with you how is to use TTF fonts in AmigaOS and how to make your desktop shine even more. |

QEMU is an open-source computer emulator and virtualiser. This means you can functionally simulate computers or provide virtual systems that replicate the functionality of a real system. QEMU is able to emulate a complete computer in software without the need to support hardware virtualisation. So it is also possible to emulate Amiga operating systems like AROS, AmigaOS or MorphOS on QEMU. This is provided by the developer Zoltan Balaton who shares many information and tips on his webeite. In the middle of 2021, Amiga-News.de had a closer look at the installation of MorphOS under QEMU 6. |

Edwin van den Oosterkamp has already dedicated two books to programming on the Amiga: "Classic AmigaOS Programming - An introduction" is an introduction to programming the AmigaOS in C and assembler. The target group are programmers without Amiga experience, or former Amiga programmers who want to develop for the Amiga again after a longer break. "Bare Metal Amiga Programming" goes into the programming of the hardware bypassing the operating system. We invited the programmer to show how to get started with C programming by means of a concrete example and say thank you very much for the following instructions. |

There are also thousands of modules on Haxor.fi, Modland, Modules.pl . So, why not have a program that could automatically download one module at-a-time, extract it, and play it using your favorite player? This is the purpose of AmiModRadio! It can download, unarchive, and send modules to your favorite players: AmigaAMP, DeliTracker, EaglePlayer, HippoPlayer, MultiPlayer, or TuneNet. {GREAT WIKI PAGE!!!!} |

UAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who don't know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680x0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. UAE is written for Unixish systems; it is developed on a Linux machine but it should compile and run on any half-recent Unix-like operating system. It has also been ported to a wide variety of machines and operating systems, including DOS, Windows 95/NT, MacOS, RiscOS, BeOS and NextStep |

The aim of UF Project is to create a simple engine for Amiga to display Unicode text using bitmap fonts. Note that I'm not going to introduce Unicode system-wide. Only applications explicitly using the engine will have Unicode capabilities. Rationale. Why bitmap, while we have TrueType? Vector fonts are nice, but: Look bad in low resolutions on palette based screens. TrueType hinting helps, but modern fonts are usually not hinted. Require more CPU power and memory. Bitmap Unicode fonts may be used even on bare Amiga 500. |

The Amiga too has its own standard BASIC. In the early days it was the universally disliked AmigaBASIC. This disappeared from Amiga packs, and was not replaced by Commodore. At the same time, a new type of program appeared. AMOS was BASIC-based, but utilised the Amigas own custom hardware to provide a programming language which was not only easy to learn and understand, but extremely powerful too. AMOS has come to be accepted as the Amigas standard BASIC. Although it can be used to program just about any application under the sun, its main strength (and the reason for its huge popularity) is its abilities as a games creator. The results can be stunning. |

Its not often you hear about new PPC-based accelerators for the Amiga, but today I received an e-mail from an Amiga user in Norway (Mads). He wrote me some words concerning an upcoming PPC-accelerator for the Amiga 3000 and Amiga 4000. Thanks a lot for the information mate. The board is called UltimatePPC and it is a multi-function CPU-card for the Amiga computers mentioned above. It plugs into the CPU slot of the machines. The specifications are very interesting. |

The Amiga 1200, our beloved computer from 1992 is getting old(sadly), with age, the capacitors in the Commodore Amiga 1200 can deteriorate, leading to various issues and potential damage. To preserve and revive the Amiga 1200, it is essential to perform a thorough capacitor replacement. {...} We will provide a detailed list of capacitors present in the Amiga 1200 motherboard. It includes information on the location, capacitance value, voltage rating, and electrolyte type of each capacitor. Enthusiasts will learn how to identify capacitors on the motherboard and understand the significance of each component. |

Why this page? I started it simply as a means of collecting all known Warp card info spread out across the web. My hope is that it's helpful to other Warp accelerator card enthusiasts out there; my interest is that I have an Amiga 3000 and Amiga 4000. :) It's a work in progress, and I trust that when/if CS-Lab has time to document and post more info, this site will perhaps become unnecessary. Check out the unofficial specifications list. **NICE** |

Everyone who has a powerpc computer at home, be it historical or "modern" (X1000) or modern (Power9) is limited by the compatibility of components. This is especially striking in the case of a combination of several operating systems on one computer. While, for example, disk controllers can be selected for all three OSes, the overall problem is in the issue of graphics cards. Since I recently upgraded an Amigaone X1000 with optimization to AmigaOS - i.e. HD7970, I wanted a faster computer for MorphOS. But the wait for MorphOS for Powermac G5 Quad or IMac G5 is still endless, and I didn't want to buy another white elephant - i.e. AmigaOne X5000 - so I decided to refurbish my Pegasos and optimize it for MorphOS. |

This module emulates and is pin compatible with the 27C400 4 Mbit (512Kb x8 or 256Kb x16) EPROM. The 27C400 UV EPROMs have compatible pinout with ROMs used in many computers and electronics from the 1990s. The Commodore Amiga 500/A600/A1200 and Acorn A3020/A4000 all used this ROM pinout. The module can be used as a drop in replacement for the ROMs in compatible systems. |

Abstract: Mosaic and HTTP daemons have greatly improved the utility and aesthetics of the internet by allowing people to express themselves, and to receive and transmit information through a consistent, powerful and attractive interface. There is, however, one important respect in which most current implementations of Mosaic limit user creativity: the program's capabilities are not extensible by the user, except through the relatively awkward addition of external MIME viewers and the use of a simple signal mechanism that allows it to be told to display a new URL. |

It will run typical console binaries that do not rely on user interface (intuition) or graphics stuff. Its main focus is to run old compilers and assemblers to have some sort of cross compilers. This approach will not run any applications or games using direct hardware register access for this a machine emulator like P-UAE is the tool you will need... |

vasm is a portable and retargetable assembler to create linkable objects in various formats or absolute code. Multiple CPU-, syntax and output-modules can be selected. Many common directives/pseudo-opcodes are supported (depending on the syntax module) as well as CPU-specific extensions. The assembler supports optimizations (e.g. choosing the shortest possible branch instruction or addressing mode) and relaxations (e.g. converting a branch to an absolute jump when necessary). Most syntax modules support macros, include directives, repetitions, conditional assembly and local symbols. |

Quite a long time ago, Vim development started on the Amiga. Although it's a really old system now, it might still work. However, this has not been tested recently. You may have to use an older version for which Amiga binaries are available. For Vim 5.x and Vim 6 look in the amiga directory (ftp). Vim 7 files can be found at os4depot.net. This is for AmigaOS 4.

One of the most used LINUX editors started its life on the Amiga. Who would think that? Inspired by a previous port of Stevie for the Commodore Amiga, Bram Moolenaar began working on Vim for the Amiga in 1988. Yes, you read that right Vim was originally developed for the Commodore Amiga! Im always surprised to see that not many programmers know that, including those that use Vim daily. |

The player lives in an alternative timeline in the 80s. The earth is already suffering enormously from the severe climate changes caused by the unchecked overexploitation of the last decades. States and their rulers have become irrelevant. Large corporations, which have control over all important raw materials, are the true rulers. On their orders, entire armies of hackers embark on an electronic war of information gathering and sabotage. The player is one of them, a novice, a noob who has yet to find his place. |

But as our policy concerning Amiga antivirus couldn't fit Safe Hex International's policy, we decided to leave and start on a fresh, with our own Virus Help Team, which started on 1 january 1995. Our objectives are: To fight and prevent the spreading of computervirus, To aid users with virus relate problems, To support all wellknown antivirus programmer with virus, To find virus programmers and bring them to justice & To be a NON-PROFIT group. We do all this anti-virus work in our free time, we all have full time work next to our antivirus hobby. |

{...} So from the 1'st of January 1995 Virus Help Team in Denmark took off, and within 6 month we opened Virus Help Team's in Norway, Holland and Canada. Our common aim and goal has always been to help Amiga users with virus problems and support the antivirus programmers. If you are curious and want know how we all got started with our antivirus work for Amiga community. |

vlink is a portable linker, written in ANSI-C, that can read and write a wide range of object- and executable file formats. It can be used to link a specific target format from several different input file formats, or for converting, stripping and manipulating files. The linker can be controlled by GNU-style linker scripts to generate absolute code, but it also runs very well with default rules to create relocatable executables, as required for AmigaOS or MorphOS. Of course there might be technical restrictions that object files of different architectures cannot be merged because of incompatible relocation types, differing endianess or symbol-names with and without leading underscores. But in theory everything is possible! |

The Warhol Digital Recovery Project was a multi-institutional effort which discovered and recovered more than a dozen of Andy Warhols previously unknown Amiga experiments, which had been trapped on aging floppy disks from 1985. The project was a collaboration between New York based artist Cory Arcangel, members of the Carnegie Mellon University Computer Club, The Andy Warhol Museum, and the Carnegie Museum of Art, with support from the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry. The teams efforts are documented in the Hillman Photography Initiatives new short film, Trapped: Andy Warhols Amiga Experiments. The Trapped documentary is available online at nowseethis.org. |

Within the retro computing community there exists a lot of controversy about so-called retrobrighting, which involves methods that seeks to reverse the yellowing that many plastics suffer over time. While some are all in on this practice that restores yellow plastics to their previous white luster, others actively warn against it after bad experiences, such as [Tech Tangents] in a recent video. |

Fast, powerful 24-bit picture datatypes for AmigaOS & MorphOS 68K (OS 3.x & Amithlon) and PowerPC (WarpOS, OS 4.x & MorphOS) The WarpDT package comprises of a collection of picture datatypes, and an accompanying easy-to-use preferences program. The image formats currently supported are JFIF/JPEG, PNG, TIFF, Windows BMP, PCX, PSD (Adobe Photoshop) and WebP, although support for more formats is planned. One of the key features of the datatypes is their superior decoding speed (hence the name Warp), especially on PowerPC equipped systems, and most importantly not at the expense of power and features. |

WarpWebP.datatype is a datatype which allows you to view and read WebP image files. As far as I know, this is the first WebP datatype for AmigaOS 3.x or MorphOS. A unique feature of this particular WebP datatype is that in addition to supporting the 68k (with optimized versions for 020, 030, 040 and 060), it also supports the PowerPC processor, with native OS4, WarpOS and MorphOS versions. |

The Amiga has stayed alive even though it has had little or no development since Commodore went bust three (now ten, 19 April 2005!) years ago. Why? Here I have collected what various people have said about the Amiga - people who use it or who have bought it. (Note: This collection should NOT be taken as a complete list of the good points of the Amiga; many are not mentioned since they are either found on other platforms or are so well known in the Amiga community that users take them for granted.) First, let's hear what Gateway, who purchased the Amiga, said about it, then the rest is devoted to comments by those who use it. |

Webwood.de has been an official hosting site for the Windows Amiga emulator WinUAE for many years. I got official permission from Toni Wilen to make the WinUAE binaries available. There are now quite a few servers doing this and helping to spread this wonderful 68k Amiga emulator. On this page you will not find any ROMs that are necessary for the operation of the emulator software. Please use the Amiga forums German Amiga Community or the A1K Forum for support requests. Here you will be helped by me or by other Commodore Amiga fans. Legal Kickstart ROMs can either be downloaded from your Amiga or purchased with an Amiga Forever package from Cloanto. This website offer does not receive any money from third parties or non-existent advertising partners. All downloads should be available again by now. |

In the last week, an Amiga 1200 was dropped off at my workshop to be repaired. That isnt unusual, but the faults were unusual enough that I thought I should blog about them. The Problem... Just the motherboard was brought to me, and I was told that it would work for 15 minutes and then crash to a black screen. Sure enough, when I tested it, I could only run it for about 15-20 minutes at most. |

Brainfuck (from now on BF) turns 30 this year. This puts it in the same league as Python (32), Java (28) and Haskell (33). I remember the first time I had heard about BF. It was in my college dorm while talking to my roommate. I was pre-med at the time, and had only the faintest idea about programming. So when I first laid eyes on its syntax I hadnt the faintest idea why someone would ever subject themselves to it. Now many years later Im a programmer in my own right, and I find myself writing about a programming language I once balked at. Funny how life happens that way |

AmiGUS is a modern high quality sound card for the Amiga. {...) By supporting established frameworks such as AHI and MHI, we ensure that the card is compatible to a wide range of already existing applications. In addition, the card's true power lies in its highly sophisticated wavetable engine, which provides a powerful feature upgrade to PAULA, supporting 32 true hardware voices using 32 MB of sample memory. The good news is that, in order to use these features, you don't need a fast CPU. AmiGUS can be used on ALL Amigas with a free Zorro Slot, since all of the computational heavy-lifting is performed by the hardware acclerated functions on the card. |

The AmigaDE is a set of technologies which allows developers to create digital content that runs within an abstract environment - the Amiga Digital Environment (hence AmigaDE). This environment is then 'attached' to multiple hardware and software hosts, allowing that content to run on those hosts without change and at near native speeds. The environment provides a high performance, low resource development service set that allows for the development of Assembler, C/C++ and pJava content, whether it be simple utilities or screaming multimedia games. To see some examples, please visit the Amiga-Anywhere Shop or the website of one of our AmigaDE developers, Zeoneo. The AmigaDE currently supports ARM, MIPS, x86 and SHn hardware hosts and Microsoft (Windows, PocketPC, Smartphone) and Linux (Desktop and Embedded) software hosts. Other hosts are in the works as the AmigaDE spreads its coverage across the digital device landscape, ranging from Smartphones, through PDAs and STBs to desktops and workstations. |

UAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who dont know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 6800 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. |

A long time ago, when computers still used floppy disks, there was a need to duplicate the contents of these floppies. X-Copy was one of the most well known disk copying programs for the Commodore Amiga series of computers, with countless users all across the world. The disk images on this site have been taken from the actual master disks, to preserve the legacy as authentically as possible. I have also collected as many loose versions of X-Copy as possible, you can find them on the Releases page. |

By now most floppy disks have been relegated to the dustbin of history, with a few exceptions for obscure industrial applications using legacy hardware and, of course, much of the worlds nuclear weapons arsenals. In fact, theyre so rare to see in the world anymore that many below a certain age dont recognize the save symbol commonly used in application user interfaces. Without a use case, and with plenty of old floppies still laying around, [Rob] took a pile of them and built this Whack-a-Mole-style game. |

Ranger was to be the next generation Amiga, which the original West Coast Amiga engineers began working on in 1986-87, following the release of the Amiga 1000. Jay Miner improved the graphics chipset for Ranger to address the twin problems of chip (i.e. Graphics, Sound, DMA) RAM memory space and bandwidth in the Amiga 1000. |

Commodore was an American manufacturer of home computers and electronics. The company, which was founded by Jack Tramiel and Manfred Kapp, was a major player during the burgeoning PC market of the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Commodore failed to keep pace with advancements in personal computing, which opened the door for IBM and Apple. This lack of innovation was no doubt caused by the appointment of a CEO who cut research and development funds to almost nothing. |

There are many individuals who have probably never heard of the Commodore home computers and are unaware of their incredible legacy and the tremendous impact which they have had upon the evolution of computers. Some of the younger generation who are too young to remember the 1980's may still not have seen or heard much-- if anything-- about Commodore computers and likely have very little sense of their significance. Likewise, many of the middle aged and older generation who did not develop an interest in computers until recently may be equally uninformed. However, most individuals who were involved in the home computer and electronics fields during the 1980's are probably somewhat familiar or quite familiar with the Commodore products and their history. |

A Guru Meditation Error is a critical error message that originally appeared on Amiga computers, signaling a system crash akin to the "blue screen of death." It was an imaginative way to indicate that the system encountered an irrecoverable issue. Though it was primarily linked to the Amiga, the term has found new life in modern computing, most notably in VirtualBox. |

This is a department at Commodore West Chester which was formerly named Commodore Amiga Technical Support and was later renamed Commodore Application and Technical Support. These are people that work independently of Engineering, but close together with them, and try to help developers outside of Commodore to create nice Amiga applications, software or hardware. To achieve this, CATS has gathered a lot of informations and tools, on floppy, CD, or paper. Much of this material is also available to the general public. But don't mix this up with some sort of Hotline for everyone! |

There are only two choices when looking at the best Amiga Emulator, this is WinUAE and FS-UAE. Both based on the original development of the UAE project, WinUAE & FS-UAE are the most up-to-date and advanced Amiga emulators available. Both are regularly updated and benefit from a huge community of users Both applications will give you the best emulation experience available, but it is often observed that Amiga Emulators can be fiddly to set up and can be intimidating to inexperienced users. |

Retro gaming is all the rage these days, with many gamers returning to classic consoles to relive the glory days of gaming. However, with modern TVs and monitors, the image quality of these classic consoles can be lacking. This is where an HD upscaler comes in a device that takes the low-resolution output of retro consoles and upscales it to high definition. |

As one can read on the company website at the title link, the former president of Amiga Inc. Bill McEwen is now working for Stavatti Aerospace. The plans of its founder are ambitious - he wants to produce military jets e.g. for NATO, although he has no corresponding background. As the press reports, Christopher Besker has acquired his knowledge through self-study, but has already succeeded in acquiring tax payers' money to finance his visions. However, the company, which has existed in various forms since 1994, has not actually produced a single aircraft to date. (snx) |

WHDLoad is an entirely software-based system designed to allow users to quickly and easy launch floppy-based games and demos and have them accurately run on the entire range of Amiga hardware. It was originally released in 1996 to address the issue of games running improperly or not at all on more recent Amiga systems featuring more powerful MC680x0 CPUs, the more advanced ECS and AGA custom chipsets, and newer versions of AmigaDOS. |

"We made machines for the masses," said Jack Tramiel, the founder of Commodore, before motioning to the man beside him, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. "They made machines for the classes." Last night, at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, Tramiel and Wozniak joined several other veterans of the 80s PC wars in celebrating the 25th anniversary of Tramiel's Commodore 64 - the home machine that many call the best-selling personal computer of all-time. |

You could spend several minutes poking around the Vim website without getting a better idea of who created Vim or why. If you launch Vim without giving it a file argument, then you will see Vims startup message, which says that Vim is developed by Bram Moolenaar et al. But that doesnt tell you much. Who is Bram Moolenaar and who are his shadowy confederates? |

I defiantly celebrated the 25th anniversary of Windows 95 by buying myself an Amiga 500. That relic from 1987 did everything Windows 95 did, and it ran an operating system that first appeared on the market 10 years before Windows 95. It was easily 10 years ahead of its time. But it flopped. Heres why Amiga failed. There wasnt any single thing that brought Amiga and its parent company, Commodore, down. If anything, the Amiga is a cautionary tale of how good engineering wont save you if you get everything else wrong. |

I often see on places such as Facebook that an Amiga owner will show a fault they have with their machine, and the immediate response youll see is recap it. Now, Im not saying that recapping isnt needed, for the SMD caps used in Amigas, it always is. But that isnt always the problem either. A bad recap can make things worse.

iWith WinUAE, you can emulate every official Amiga variant as well as a huge range of third-party peripherals such as accelerator cards, RAM expansion & custom ROM images. It is without a doubt, the standard when it comes to Amiga emulation on the PC. Setup on Windows is very straightforward, it comes with pre-loaded configurations, so you can simply select the Amiga you wish to emulate. All you need to do is provide a floppy disk image of a game to get up and running. Also, be sure to check out our guide to the greatest Amiga games, to get inspiration on what to play first on WinUAE! |

Hires shaders can operate with hires resolutions and don't skip horizontal hires pixels. Interlace shaders are intended for interrlaced gfx. and situations, lines aren't discarded. This repository comes with a couple of ReShade shaders. One is for colorspace tweaks and profiles, other is for glow, bloom and mask effects. |

Like most humanity scholars and historians, we work with historical materials that we compile into a corpus. How does this approach apply to researching digital-born media, such as video games designed for the Amiga computing system? When inquiring older digital games, the question of authenticity1 quickly arises. Playing a game is an integral part in my research process. Even if just briefly, I want to be in the feedback loop created by myself, the machine and the game. It helps me get a feeling for the game at hand and what it might encompass. |

A RAM disk exactly what it sounds like: using a portion of a computer's RAM as a disk. The benefit is, above all else, speed. The drawback is, naturally, less RAM available for running software. The Amiga has a RAM disk. So what? RAM disks are commonplace: in most Unix-like systems they're just a mount command away, and on other systems there's probably at least one third party tool available for creating one, if the OS isn't capable out of the box. |

Magicore Anomala is an Amiga game I'm working on. I made Doki Doki Literature Club using Ren'Py, a Python-based visual novel engine that has some staggering capabilities. But thinking about it, there are tons of games with visual novel-like dialogue featuresmaybe even the majority of them at this point. How is dialogue implemented in these games? Do most of them use existing dialogue scripting libraries, or are they more often spinning up their own solution? I have no idea, but given the extremely specific features and limitations of Magicore, I had no choice but to create my entire stack from scratch (like literally everything else in the game engine). |

In the past few years I ended up adding 68000 to naken_asm and my view of the chip actually kind of soured a bit. At my job I did some coding on a partial x86-64 assembler / disassembler and the instruction encoding didn't seem that bad. I've also got used to little endian and have seen some advantages of it as a programmer. Anyway, working on those two projects made me want to implement x86 and 68k in an FPGA and do a comparison of the two architectures. This implementation has only the basic instructions of both chips. All addressing modes are supported, but many instructions that either aren't used much (or at all) or can be done with other instructions have been stripped out. |

scanner to validate AmigaOS file systems in disk or hard disk images. The scanner does an in-depth check of all structures used in the AmigaOS OFS and FFS file system. If something does not fulfill the file system specification then an error or warning is generated. Warnings are usually tolerated when using this image in an emulator but errors might hint to corrupt files on the disk. Each scanned file results in a single line output that gives you a quick overview of the errors and warnings found in the image (if any). You can also enable the verbose mode. Then all errors and warnings are reported. |

xmtolsp is a tool that converts FastTracker 2 XM modules into Amiga LSP (LightSpeed Player) format. Historically, Amiga developers have primarily used ProTracker MOD format for music in games, demos, etc. Although many productions play MOD files directly using libraries like PTPlayer, there are computationally faster options. LightSpeed Player "renders" MOD files into a lower-level format that provides the Amiga audio hardware with pre-baked, frame-by-frame instructions. |

The Commodore 64 has been pulled apart, reverse engineered, replicated, and improved upon to no end over the last four decades or so. The Amiga 500 has had less attention, in part due to its greater level of sophistication. However, you can now order a brand-new Amiga-compatible PCB if youre looking to put together a machine from surplus parts. The design is known as Denise, and is apparently the work of an anonymous Swedish designer according to the Tindie listing. Its not a direct replica of any one Amiga machine. Instead, its best described as a compact A500+ compatible motherboard with two Zorro2 slots and a few additional features. |

Attention hardware manufacturers. If you are developing a hardware expansion product for the Amiga then you will need to obtain a special manufacturer ID number from Amigan Software to identify your product. This manufacturer number is used by the Amiga to link your hardware with its driver software at boot time. Your manufacturer number is part of the special protocol that the Amiga uses to automatically configure all expansion devices on the bus without the user having to cut jumpers or adjust dip switches. This is called auto-config. |

Z3660 is an Amiga 4000 CPU accelerator board based on A3660 and Z-turn FPGA board. Compared to A3660, Z3660 has some key differences: 1. Z3660 accelerator board can only use 060 CPUs. This could be changed in the future, but at this time, only 060 is supported. 2. If Z-turn FPGA board is NOT used, then you get a simple A3660. {...} 3. If you use a Z-turn FPGA board, then you can add 128 MB of CPU RAM (DMA compatible), 256 MB of Z3 RAM (not DMA compatible), RTG 16bit, Ethernet, AHI and MHI. Also there is a SD to SCSI emulation for using raw RDB disk images (USB storage maybe in the future). And of course, you can use a 68060 rev6 at 100 MHz. |

In todays post, Ill be looking at ZGloom, which is a C++ re-implementation of Gloom from classic Amiga. The source code was made freely available by the developers, but it is in 68K Assembler. The code has partly been converted manually to C++ and put in an SDL2 framework. ZGloom was done by Swizpig. BeWorld ported it to MorphOS, and Javier de las Rivas brought it to AmigaOS 4, with some help and tips from Salass00, Kas1e, and Samo79. |

This unit uses the expansion slot on the left-hand side of the Amiga (just like the external IDE adapter) and provides a vertical slot to plug your Zorro II card into. It also has a standard floppy power plug and circuitry to choose this supply if provided, otherwise use power from the Amiga itself. |

The release of Doom was a great day for PC users. For Amiga users, however, it was just another nail in the coffin. FPS games were uncommon on the Amiga, and John Carmack himself said that the Amiga just wouldn't be capable of running Doom. But the Amiga community just wouldn't take no for an answer. A select number of games were released for the system including Gloom, Fears, Alien Breed 3D and Alien Breed 3D 2: The Killing Grounds... So here I am introducing my devlog for a total conversion project of Alien Breed 3D 2: The Killing Grounds (TKG) for GZDoom. |
