{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 Pollé. The author of Candy Factory} |

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. |

I’ve 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. |

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. |

Kickstart 1.3, 1.4alpha and 3.1 in one 1MB EPROM. Amiga ROM images prior to 2.0 are 256k (262144 Bytes) in size. The later versions are fitted into 512k ROMs. I was going to upgrade my (new) Amiga 500 to Kickstart 3.1 but wanted to retain the ability to switch to 1.3. |

In my recent post about Amiga’s 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. It’s as if the operating system never improved. Well, they are not going to stop me, because there’s more than meets the eye. |

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 – doesn’t 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 I²C 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! |

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: |

It should be evident to anyone viewing this website that I have a bit of a vintage computer obsession. And regular readers who’ve been paying attention over the past year and a half or so likely know that my other obsession is the space exploration game No Man’s 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 who’d care to see. |

8MB FastRAM expansion for Amiga 1200 (with RTC). Complete 5V design using Microchip ATF1508 CPLD. Source code based on "Amiga 600 8 megabytes fastRAM board": http://lvd.nedopc.com/Projects/a600_8mb/index.html and some other sources I forgot :) An aim of this design is to learn Verilog and 68k CPU. So the pcb has a TEST connector for debug and future expansion. |

This site will cover all my AmigaOS projects (mostly AmigaOS4.x only but also some for AmigaOS3.x and older) as well as some ports that I have made. My main development system is a µA1-C with 750FX CPU and 512MB memory, which is running AmigaOS4.1. I also use cygwin for crosscompiling some programs that do not compile easily on AmigaOS (like f.e. those that use autoconfig) or for crosscompiling for AOS3.x and AROS. Fredrik Wikström |

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. |

In this article series we’ll 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”? It’s quite simple—the emulated graphics should look as close as possible to the output of CRT displays used with these computers back in the 80s and 90s. |

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 wouldn’t even need a separate speaker. |

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%. |

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. |

… come in threes, they say, or “Aller guten Dinge sind drei” in my native tongue German. And so I set out to make a third and final attempt at reliably delivering great 68040-to-68060 adapters. Remember, earlier in my adventure I built one of these adapters with a PCB made by OSHpark. I was so excited, that I sold it on eBay and started to make another one. And failed. And another one. And… Well, you get the story here. |

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 I’d planned to do a 3 part blog series about the FPGA projects that users have or are making, I thought I’d go ahead and make this post about one amazing project I just learned about today: 68040->68060 socket adapters. I’ve 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. |

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. |

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 ST—released the same year—Apple'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 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. |

The Amiga 1080 monitor was the original monitor Commodore supplied with the Amiga 1000 in 1985. It’s 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. I’ll tell you how, and I also tracked down the elusive pinout for this monitor. |

I’ve been slowly but surely branching out into Amigas from Commodore’s 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. |

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. |

PArts 2-4 are also available too.} Due to a series of strange events, I have ended up with not one, but two Amiga 4000s in the last few weeks. They are both in need of very different restorations. I hope that I can get at least one complete machine out of them, and then sell the other one. I don’t have room for two in my collection, and it will help recoup the costs. |

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. |

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. |

I’m having some fun messing around with a few of my old retro computers at the moment and, inspired by EEV Blog’s 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 |

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. |

The power supply of my Amiga 500 is a bit unreliable. I’ve 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 there’s 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 1990’s 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. |

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. |

I am a happy owner of quite a few A500s in pretty crappy shape. I’ve finally managed to start some serious work with modding ’em. I won’t post single-machine mods but rather a several mods in a few Amigas that I’ve pimped. As usual, I’ve started with simple things |

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, I’ve 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, I’ve 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. |

I’ve been slowly but surely branching out into Amigas from Commodore’s 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. |

I’ve been slowly but surely branching out into Amigas from Commodore’s 8-bit range of computers, and as such I recently got my hands on my first Commodore Amiga 600. The A600 is a 16-bit computer from the 1990s, and is effectively just a condensed version of the A500 with an onboard IDE and PCMCIA interface. |

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 it’s the perfect retro Amiga for today. But it couldn’t 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 wasn’t much more than a repackaged Amiga 1000 from 1985, trying to compete with VGA graphics and 386 CPUs. |

The GOTEK floppy emulator is hands down the best modification to can make to any Amiga and it’s 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. It’s 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 |

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). |

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 Kilpeläinen. 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 someone’s 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 it’s 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? Let’s 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. Let’s look at both native IDEs in detail. We will also describe cross compiling. |

The great thing about Amigas was they had a flat 32-bit memory architecture from day one. Unlike 16-bit DOS PCs, memory was memory–to an extent. Amigas did have three types of memory. So let’s 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 CPU’s address space, could run programs faster than either slow RAM or chip RA |

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. |

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 don’t 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 I’ll 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. |

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." |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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? |

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. |

I’ll cover development environments, modern workflows like CI builds on containerised infrastructure, distribution of packages and even a look back in time before C existed, thanks to AmigaDOS’s odd heritage. |

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. |

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. |

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} |

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. |

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. It’ll 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 n°1 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. |

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! |

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. |

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. |

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 : it’s now a reality and I love it :). As usual, I’m 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. |

The general meeting is held on the third Wednesday of each month at Mount Royal College. Meetings generally follow this format: (location is subject to change, watch the web site for notices) |

{archive: 26 Jan 2019} Based around the original custom chips of the Classic Amiga(tm) computer from Commodore(tm) I’m 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 I’ve 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 I’m 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. |

Purists prefer CRT monitors for a more authentic experience, but if you don’t mind an LCD, here’s a good LCD monitor for retro computing. Look for a Dell 2001fp manufactured in June 2005 or before. For bonus points, try to find one with a soundbar. |

On the re-release of a 3D/4K/HDR version of James Cameron’s Titanic, I thought I might showcase something I saw a few years ago: a stunning find by Retro Recipes’ Christian ‘Perifractic’ Simpson relating to the film’s miniature ship and subs motion control shoot by Digital Domain. Simpson happened upon a Commodore Amiga 4000/040 that contained hard drives with Digital Domain video tap footage on them that happened to showcase the miniature mo-co shoots. They literally have VFX plates, passes and element shoots. Amazing! |

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 Ekström], who’s made a Pi-based network adapter for the Commodore Amiga 1200. Better still it doesn’t hog the main expansion port or the PCMCIA slot, instead it sits on the 1200’s 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. |

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 haven’t 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. |

The machine, which we call the Armiga, is a beautiful piece of modern technology. It’s built around a modern Dual Core ARM CPU, that plays together with our custom made floppy controller. This is the key of the machine: We’ve 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. |

When it comes to Atari ST vs Amiga, there are more similarities than differences from today’s perspective. But the two machines had significant differences that led them to be incompatible even though the hardware differences look minor today. Here’s 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. |

{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. |

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 |

So, you know I’m a sucker for vintage computing. I’ve been a proud owner of an original C64, an Amiga 1200, an Atari 130 XE, and a ZX-81, and a bunch of old peripherals and hacks that connect to them all in working condition. But today I got in the mail one very special rarity. It’s an original, unopened, white, brand new, from the warehouse, Amiga 1200 Magic edition sold to me directly by no less than the legendary ex president of Amiga Technologies Petro Tyschtschenko. |

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. |

So I’m in the process of trying to reverse engineer some custom PALs from a Commodore Amiga Dataflyer 500. It would be ideal to read those PALs directly, however I don’t have a compatible PAL reading solutions. I’ve found some online but they are easily $800-$1200. So someone on a previous blog post commented about a potential solution that works with the TL866A eeprom reader. |

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. |

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 I’m a principal engineer at Roku and have contributed to a variety of Roku products over the last decade. So, here’s the unabashed pitch: if you like streaming video, check out Roku. They’re 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… I’ve got some theories on why that happens and some ideas on how to make things simpler, smarter, and just as effective. |

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. |

Under the prevailing information policies of the Central Intelligence Agency, even some well-known public facts, such as the price of a popular personal computer, may be withheld from public disclosure. “We bought our first Commodore Amiga in 1987 for less than [price redacted] including software,” according to a paper entitled “NPIC, Amiga, and Videotape” from the CIA journal Studies in Intelligence. It was among hundreds of papers posted online this month in response to a FOIA lawsuit brought by Jeffrey Scudder |

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 |

This book provides an introduction into the programming of the classic AmigaOS using C as well as assembly language. It is aimed at programmers who have not programmed for the Amiga before as well as programmers who did this years ago and would like a refresher before diving back in. A general knowledge of computer programming is therefore assumed. By ing Edwin Th van den Oosterkamp |

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. |

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 don’t know about trade marks legality for such devices but as long as there are companies and startup’s producing these items means that there is a huge demand for them. |

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 wouldn’t 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 couldn’t make a 64 successor on their own, so they intended for the Amiga to replace it. It didn’t fully succeed, and maybe that’s why the comparison is still interesting. Looking back, the machines may seem similar today. But in 1985 they sure didn’t. |

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". |

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. |

Since I’ve been reverse engineering a DataFlyer Plus HDD SCSI expansion card for the Commodore Amiga, I’ve needed to get a much better understanding of how the AutoConfig process works. I’m 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. |

{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. |

Commodore’s 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. It’s noteworthy that I had a hard time finding some of this information. I don’t think Irving Gould, Commodore’s 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 don’t 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 don’t 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. That’s why Robert X. Cringely sums up Commodore as Irving Gould‘s stock scam, then goes back to writing about Apple. The real story is more complicated than that. More interesting, too. |

I’ve written this blog post together with Harri Salokorpi. We’ll walk you through an example that creates graphics on the display with a simple animation. We both hope this blog post provides a quick start to those who want to try out programming on this legendary device. However, we’re mostly going to use an emulator as a development environment, so the real device is not mandatory. |

In my x-bench setup video I mentioned that there is a limit within Workbench 3.1 for using hard drive partitions above 4gb which is incorrect. There is no such limit and in this weeks video I show you how to create large partitions. Its actually very simple. Massive thanks to Daedalus and Jope from EAB for explaining just how simple is actually is! |

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. |

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. |

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. I’ve experimented with this myself with good results. Disappointingly, I’ve also found the Retrobrighted items can re-yellow over time even though stored in almost complete darkness! |

{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. |

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, it’s all a little analogue. What’s 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 Amiga’s 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. |

It has a sweet spot for Amiga file formats: it can read and write all Amiga Icon formats and read/write Amiga IFF Images. You can even read/write files directly from ADF disk files and preview your work instantly in the "real" Deluxe Paint! (on an embedded emulated Amiga) |

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. |

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. |

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 … it’s 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. |

{amiga-news.de summary is better than what I could have come up with} In mid-April Amiga-News.de had published Rene Engel's updated installation guide of AmigaOS 4.1 under QEMU 8.1. Since then numerous attempts have been made to improve the emulation and simplify the installation. Rene Engel has kindly summarised the efforts for us and published a correspondingly updated and simplified installation guide in the forum (German): |

From STR Wiki. This is how I setup Envoy on all my Amigas. Only two configuration programs need to be set up. The first one, Network Configuration sets the network device and its related settings. The second one is the Filesystem Exports. This one establishes the devices (or directories) to be shared to other computers on the Envoy network. |

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. |

{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! |

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 doesn’t fit in the Amiga anymore! The solution is quite simple: from two 64-pin DIP sockets and some ribbon cable it’s 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 show’s 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. |

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 that’s 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) |

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. |

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 wasn’t included and hasn’t been for a great many years. I couldn’t leave it there though, I really wanted Say on my Amiga and wasn’t 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 wasn’t too difficult.. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

I've written and released a tool that works with LCP on the Amiga, which you can download at the end of this post. If you want to see how I got there, then read on… |

I can tell you what we had been working on prior to Commodore changing management, and extrapolate that, had they not hired the managers who bankrupted Commodore, and had they spent money more wisely, investing in technology instead of manager’s salaries, where things were likely to go. |

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). |

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. |

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. |

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). |

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.' |

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. |

For cable providers, the Amiga’s 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 industry’s computer of choice in the pre-HDTV era, especially after the release of NewTek’s 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. |

After getting it online this has to be the next best thing your can do with your Amiga. Being able to access a network share on the Amiga is really a liberating experience. It affords you not just the freedom to quickly access files you may have downloaded on your PC but also near unlimited extra storage for your Amiga. It’s quite a straightforward process and I’ll go through the whole thing from start to finish in this post. |

Amiga monitors aren’t 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 weren’t 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 I’m sure you’re a lot more interested in Shadow of the Beast than you are in Amiga Word Perfect 4.1. |

IDE4 Z2 is a Gayle compatible 4 unit IDE controller, designed for Amiga 2000. It supports 4 IDE devices on two ports (primary and secondary). 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. |

I have now 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. |

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. |

The very first issue of Amiga Transactor - spun off from the original Transactor - featured an article by Andy Finkel, then the Software Manager at Commodore-Amiga. Fortunately, the article survived, although Amiga Transactor didn't. It's interesting to contrast the state of AmigaDOS then and now, especially in comparison to the CAOS specs. 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. So set the WayBack machine for 1988, and read on... |

’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 I’d been waiting for. Shipments to the UK were back on! I quickly ordered myself one and waited patiently for it to arrive. Happily I didn’t 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! |

Irving Gould was a Canadian financier and chairman of Commodore International. Although it’s an oversimplification, journalist Robert X. Cringely dismissed the once high-flying computer company, which had 60% of the market in 1984, as Irving Gould’s 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 didn’t 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 Gould’s personal wealth at that time at $100-$250 million. |

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! |

Leu is a simple spreadsheet application, which started as a excel and openoffice viewer. Now it also has some basic editing functions and a fully working function parser. It supports loading of Excel (xlsx), Libre/OpenOffice (ods), ASCII (csv) and TurboCalc (tcd) files. You can export the tables to Excel, Libre/OpenOffice, ASCII, HTML or wiki tables. Because it’s written with FreePascal for Amiga systems with MUIClass GUI Toolkit, it is available for all Amiga Systems: |

INTRO: This library was designed as an all-in-one system to be able to make games and to be able to allow easy ports for our AmigaOS4 system. EGL can be implemented on multiple operating systems and now on native AmigaOS4. Implementations may also choose to allow rendering into specific types of EGL surfaces via other supported native rendering APIs (here OpenglES 2.0 for AmigaOS4.x). |

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? |

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. |

We know how to make Linux look like Windows 95, MacOS 9, and BeOS… but what about Amiga OS? I mean, if we’re 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 I’ve found to achieve exactly that goal. We’ll be starting with XFCE as our default desktop — XFCE is sort of the gold standard for making your desktop look like older systems. If you’re following along at home, I highly recommend installing XFCE before we get started. You can use pretty much any Linux distribution you like. |

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. |

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

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. |

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 I’m after and giving the mount command. So, let’s fire up fdisk: |

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, I’m 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 photo’s on the site. I’ve 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 – it’s very compatible with all the software available. Here’s 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. |

Databases and tables can be created, deleted and changed via a reaction-based interface. The table structure can also be changed. An SQL QUERY query can also be used to select/display and edit specific data records. An SQL console can also be started in which all SQL commands can be issued directly. The prefs window can also be used to connect to a mySQL server on another computer or on the Internet! Sorry for english speaking people. Only the download instructions on the bottom of the side are translated. The program itself has english catalog. |

myWorkspace! creates an alternative user experience environment. Do you remember the good old days of 16Bit computers? myWorkspace! is a tryout to implement an alternative user interface for an Operating System. It feels like back in time, but as modern as possible. It's written from scratch in modern C++ and runs with highest performance and GPU acceleration. It's implementation is platform independent. |

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 won’t 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. |

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 :) |

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. |

EXTRA! EXTRA! On March 27, 1997 Gateway 2000 (one of the largest U.S. based Intel clone manufacturers) officially purchased all rights to the technology and intellectual properties of the Amiga computer! Initial electronic press releases are short but promising: Rick Snyder, president and CEO of Gateway 2000 states that the "aquisition is good news for Gateway and customers of AMIGA," and that it will "strengthen [Gateway's] intellectual property position and invigorate a company that has been a pioneer in multimedia solutions and operating systems technology." Petro Tyschtschenko, who will remain president of the renamed Amiga International said that "Gateway 2000 will give us new life and energy for the future." |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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!). It’s only shortcoming is it’s not compatible with all TV’s in every mode, but it’s still an excellent choice and what I recommend to all retro-gaming videophiles! |

When people talk about Amiga computers from a historical perspective, two models always stand out. Originally called simply the “Amiga,” and ultimately the Amiga 1000 (A1000), the first model to hit store shelves is always at the top of the list. {...} But her slightly younger cost-reduced sister, the all-in-one blonde bombshell the Amiga 500 (A500) sold more units than any other Amiga in history, and for good reason. |

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 EGA‘s 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. |

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 designer’s 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. |

Solène 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 aren’t an addiction, they’re 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, I’ve 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. I’ve decided to create a fresh series of posts where I’ll 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 ? |

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 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 doesn’t sell the PiStorm, but instead publishes the source code and design files for anyone to submit to a PCB fabricator. If you don’t 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). |

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. |

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 |

The Prevue software (internally named ESQ) was used to power the Prevue Channel from its inception in 1988. In the US, it was phased out in 2000, and replaced by the Windows-based Hollywood platform. In other markets, it was maintained until 2002. Like EPG Sr., Prevue ran on the Amiga platform. |

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. |

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 my first attempt to write a driver for an Amiga-like operative system. I needed to use a special touchscreen, so i decided to write this driver. 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. |

Amiga Zorro III to PCI bridge, introduced in 2001, opensourced in 2012. Prometheus is my most complicated (so far) hardware design. It has been done for Matay in 2000. It is a bridge joining traditional asynchronous Zorro III Amiga expansion bus with standard PCI. It allows for using PCI expansion cards in Amiga 3000 and 4000. Unfortunately only 250 boards have been produced. Thanks to agreement of all parties involved, the design can be opened to the public.. |

I really wanted a PS/2 to Amiga adapter, so I ended up making this PCB in Eagle CAD based on information freely available on the Internet. I ended up making one that can use both USB and PS/2 connector, and the option to change between Amiga and Atari ST mode with jumpers. It also works on Commodore 64 in certain applications. |

{Still has link to PureBasic 4.00 fullversion (OpenSource) for AmigaOS} Purebasic is a modern BASIC programming language. The key features of PureBasic are portability (Windows, Linux, OS X and Raspberry supported with the same source code), the production of very fast and optimized native 32-bit or 64-bit executables and, of course, the very simple BASIC language syntax. PureBasic has been created for the beginner and expert alike. We have put a lot of effort into its conception to produce a fast, reliable system and friendly BASIC compiler.

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. |

QDock is closest dream dock I've imagined! 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 |

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. |

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. |

A good find... It’s 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! |

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. |

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! |

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 - see Lag Measurement) |

Roguecraft is a modern turn-based roguelike focused on simplicity and fun. It is a dungeon crawler where each play-through is a unique experience. As you progress in the game you will combat meaner monsters and tougher challenges. You only have one life, so you have to be careful, but if you reach the end there are wonderful rewards to be gathered! Roguecraft is currently under development for the Commodore Amiga, with other platforms to follow. |

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. |

Retro Computers and Repairs. We started RudeDog Retros to bring back to life those great computers from the 80’s and 90’s – Commodore 16 / Plus 4’s, 64’s, 128’s, Vic 20’s and of course the Amiga! – The Atari 8 bit machines – the 65 / 130 / 800XE and XL’s – the ST and STe – The Sinclair ZX-81, Spectrum and QL – and everything in between those! How can we help? We can repair just about anything. We have 20+ years of board level repair and diagnostics experience. Everything we do is fuelled by our passion for these old 8 and 16 bit machines. |

In the modern world, we take certain tools for granted. High-level programming languages such as C or Python haven’t 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Below are some of the main ones. It should go without saying that you should only download games/software you own or legally allowed to be shared.

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. |

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,...) |

Well here we are with another BSzili announcement, as he has told us that he has made available the Amiga port of the Star Wars first person shooter game of Dark Forces.

Using some addons, called Stargus, Amiga users could play Starcraft 1. It’s been around for a while but there is something called Wargus for Stratagus that makes Warcraft 2 available for Stratagus. |

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 didn’t 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 Amiga’s chips were overkill. Brian Bagnall’s 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 you’d be literally giving them away. But for whatever reason prices started to grow and grow until you’d be paying far more than the original price. And that’s 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. |

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. |

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. |

This document describes the .ADF file format. An Amiga Disk File is a sector per sector dump of an Amiga formatted disk. The intent is to explain in detail how the Amiga stores files and directories on floppy and hard disks. A set of C routines (ADFlib) will be supplied to manage the ADF format. |

Todd Rundgren, Babylon 5, The X-Files, SeaQuest DSV, and even those demo videos – NewTek’s Video Toaster has plenty of 90s nostalgia behind it. But it also demonstrates workflow features in switching, titling, and animation that could easily inspire streamers today. Hang on, I was about to start with an intro, but – frankly, I can’t do any better than this Yorkshire Television-produced CITV show Bad Influence!, the answer to the question “what if Computer Chronicles were not made by complete dorks who were apparently trapped in a low-budget PBS studio?” Please read the rest of this article imagining the voices of these two presenters. “But first have a look at this!” “The AMIIIIGA??!” |

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} |

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 I’ve 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. I’ve put together a bit of a usage demo to highlight some of the system’s features that stand out to me. It’s 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. |

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. |

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! |

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? |

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. |

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 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... |

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. |

{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 isn’t much that I know today that I didn’t 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. |

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. |

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. |

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 haven’t 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 it’s sat on my shelf until a week ago. It means you’re 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 you’ve set up a Pi or another Amiga by writing an image to a card you’ll probably be fine but do be aware some assistance may be needed if you haven’t done it before. |

Welcome to "Think Commodore"? Think Commodore is a website about emulating old Commodore computers such as the C64 and the Amiga on your Macintosh. The website also covers subjects such as C64 or Amiga games, demos, music, how to copy files from your Mac back to your trusty old Commodore etc. There's a real nice and active forum too! 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. |

Every now and then, I like to focus on game covers here on this site. 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 aren’t 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. |

Double-height recreation of Amiga’s iconic Topaz typeface. This is an Amiga-native recreation of one of the most beautiful and readable 8×8 pixel typefaces ever created: Topaz — now rendered in pixel-perfect 8×16px for modern resolutions. Out of the box, Amiga used a tall (~2:1) resolution — 640×200 (NTSC) or 640×256 (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. |

{French} The Amiga Addicts Association website. The Triple A association (Association of Amiga Addicts) was created on April 1, 1997 (view its registration) . Its aim is to support alternative computing. By alternative computing we mean any computer other than “PC compatible” running Windows. One of the computers supported by the association is the Amiga, an avant-garde microcomputer at its time, as well as the current computers which followed the Amiga (AmigaOne, Pegasos, etc.). We are also open to platforms such as Atari, Linux and Macintosh. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

The Warhol Digital Recovery Project was a multi-institutional effort which discovered and recovered more than a dozen of Andy Warhol’s 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 team’s efforts are documented in the Hillman Photography Initiative’s new short film, “Trapped: Andy Warhol’s Amiga Experiments.” The Trapped documentary is available online at nowseethis.org. |

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. |

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 hadn’t the faintest idea why someone would ever subject themselves to it. Now many years later I’m 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 |

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. |

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. |

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) |

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 Vim’s startup message, which says that Vim is developed by “Bram Moolenaar et al.” But that doesn’t tell you much. Who is Bram Moolenaar and who are his shadowy confederates? |

Commodore International went out of business in 1994, after nearly a decade of declining revenue. But the company left a significant legacy, which leads to some logical questions. What became of Commodore? Who bought Commodore? |

When your Amiga computer system is powered on or reset, the BIOS or firmware's job is to initialize the hardware and to start the booting process of the operating system. It also enables you to define some settings that you may want to use either for the next boot or for every time you use your computer. |

These shaders can utilize the SmartRes functionality with WinUAE versions 4.2.0 or above. Otherwise they work with Lores and single-line mode. 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. |

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. |

The xdftool is a tool from the amitools tool set that allows to read disk images intended for Amiga emulators like ADF or HDF files and display or extract their contents. Furthermore, you can: create new ADF or HDF images, copy files from the image, copy your own files to it, master own images, repack existing images, work on partitions inside RDISK/RDB hdf images or on real disks |

Traditionally, most Amigas were intended to boot from a floppy disk. . An Amiga can readily make its own boot floppy, but only once it’s already booted up. If you don’t have a floppy ready to go, you’re out of luck, as PCs can’t readily make them for Amigas. [Roc] whipped up the amigaXfer bootstrapping method to solve this very problem. |

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 you’re 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. It’s not a direct replica of any one Amiga machine. Instead, it’s best described as “a compact A500+ compatible motherboard with two Zorro2 slots and a few additional features.” |

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. |

Zero Defects was founded in 1988 by Repeater (me... initially I was named Elektro), Terminator and Xenio. Intention was to found the first REAL Italian demo group as, infact the Italian scene was ruled by the always lame IBB (Italian Bad Boys)... It took not much from the founding to release our first demo called PARALLAX, this genuine piece of code was realized by Terminator (the glorious coder), as it came out it totally blasted the lame Italian scene... the first real demo from an Italian group was there and it kicked... |

In today’s post, I’ll 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. |

I am your host, Bo Zimmerman, and this is my web page.. These pages cater only to folks of both taste and distinction. The first test of whether you fit this category is your reaction to the following picture. If your heart begins to race at the sight of this awesome computer, then you may want to check out my Commodore Web Page or take a look at the GEOS Web Page for some great stuff. If you like old BBS programs, my BBS Programs Web Page is another fun stop. If you REALLY like Commodore though, you might want to just to check out my collection in the Commodore Gallery and oogle to your heart's content |

Tutorials will be uploaded periodically. To set the ball rolling, the first one's taken from the WaveGuide© Manual. I'll do my best to incorporate the tutorials I upload into the manual itself. At the moment, WaveGuide contains sixteen Tutorials covering the basic to more complex functions of LightWave3D. If you have an interesting problem, or you've figured a cool way of doing something, let me know and if it's of general interest, I'll put it on the site. {The Maximum Smoothing Angle, How to Create a Perfect Boing Ball, How to do Decals, Creating a Basking Shark Object, How to Create the 'Ocean' Scene & Displacement Mapping a Texture} |
