In the old good times installation of GCC compiler on Amiga was not an easy task. Now GCC Pack makes it easy with Installer script. It installs native (both hosted on and targetted to m68k-amigaos architecture) GCC 2.95.3. Then it integrates it with AmigaOS 3.2 NDK. |

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

**** WARNING **** AGA Registers are temporary. They will change. Do not rely on this documentation. No programs written with this information can be officially endorsed or supported by Commodore. If this bothers you then stop reading now. Future Amigas will *NOT* support *ANY* of the new AGA registers. If you want your product to work on the next generation of Amigas then either: |

There seems to be a common misconception regarding the sprite hardware used in the Commodore Amiga line of computers. I do hear it every once and a while being repeated when people are comparing systems, so I decided to write this post to try and set the record straight. |

Commodore’s bankruptcy left behind a host of orphans who continue to this day to keep alive the memory of those marvellous machines that made us rejoice, and among them a prominent place is certainly that of the Amiga, because it presented features that revolutionised the “personal” computer sector. |

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

Painting a reproduction from life is a challenge. At least, it is for me. It gets even harder when you’re trying to paint from life and combine in additional elements to the piece. It makes it even harder when you need to do this at least 30 times a second. It gets even harder when you’re a silicon chip and you can’t even hold a paintbrush! One of the great things about the custom chipset in the original Amigas (the Original Chip Set, or OCS, and the Enhanced Chip Set, or ECS) are the tools they have to do 2D graphics very, very well. Agnus, the controller of Chip RAM, comes equipped with a tool called a blitter, whose purpose is to copy big blocks of memory around in Chip RAM very quickly. |

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

The AmigaOne X5000 is a high-end Amiga computer developed and released by A-EON Technology in 2016, with a focus on delivering modern performance while maintaining some sort of compatibility with classic Amiga software and hardware. The X5000 is power by a dual-core Freescale PowerPC CPU and provides fast and efficient performance, making the AmigaOne X5000 a powerful machine for modern Amiga computing. |

In the early 2000’s Haage & Partner commissioned 2 software engineers Bernd Meyer and Harold Frank. The goal was to secure the survival of the Amiga from uncertain death on the X86 platform. What is Amithlon and how did it ended up being the biggest legal debacles of the Amiga scene? It’s a Linux and latter QNX kernel based emulator. The beauty of Amithlon comes from the fact that the software had direct hardware access and custom chip emulation disabled the Amithlon outperformed the almighty A4000. |

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

Dominik Diamond recently deemed the Amiga as 'painfully uncool'. It is my mission, nay, my DUTY, to set the record straight. |

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

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

{Translated from French} Who has never been enraged by wild crashes while using their machine? Windows is well known for its records in this genre but the Amiga remains a machine where crashes are still present. They are called "Guru Meditation" or "software failure" and we will try to find out more about them. |

The Amiga, The Decline, The Fall. This is part four of a series on Commodore. If you haven’t already, you may be interested in reading part 1, which covers the creation of the 6502, the founding of MOS and Commodore, and the circumstances that led to the creation of the first Commodore computers. Part 2 covers the Commodore VIC-20, and Part 3 cover the Commodore 64. |
