Re: Any knowledgeable Amiga folk out there?

Yes and no. If you care about native (not "seamlessly emulated") backwards compatibility with 68k software, it's a 100% pointless, and even PPC accelerators for legacy models are of rather limited value. Nevertheless AmigaOne is a beautiful system on it's own right, very capable and stable, and …

Great video games you never played

While going through some thread about the original Unreal game, it just hit me again; I never actually played it, not once. Notice I'm not saying I didn't beat it, I'm talking I never ran the exe and played it. I have no idea how this happened, but I know from the looks of it I owe myself that play. …

Yes, the plastic was sufficiently sturdy for the amount of time it was designed to last, but these Amiga's are now well past their prime, no question about it. I wonder, though, if the cases could be successfully sampled and reproduced with a 3D printer. That would make an interesting project. The …

Beware ye of this wicked crowd, this crowd driven by a vitriolic envy for the success and prosperity of others. This vile crowd of black-hearted, hatemongering parasites who believe they're entitled to other people's money. The crowd who'd happily have you taxed and looted into poverty, even if they …

We will never experience a true free market as long as the government retains enough power to regulate it for or against a particular person/group. America came pretty close at some point in history where government still feared the people, but that hasn't been the case in a long, long time.

That kind of touches on antitrust legislation, which's a completely different branch of socialist depravity. Government has no business getting involved in business. Certainly they should ban certain things and make sure all involved parties honor the contracts they sign, but if your company's a …

Only CRT's are prone to "distortion" I also tested Pinball in DOSBox on TN LCD with 60 Hz and have gotten same distortion Software malfunctioning/crashing while synchronizing to an unsupported refresh rate, that's perfectly possible, but it shouldn't cause distortion, whatever it is that you've …

Software does not necessarily have to output a framerate to match the refresh rate of the display mode it's running at, neither is it required to be a multiple thereof. E.g. Build engine games ticked at 60fps but had native mode 13h support. Only CRT's are prone to "distortion" because both picture …

Microsoft can go to hell now with its monopoly and that new directX exclusive crap. Out of all the reasons I can think of for Microsoft going to hell, monopoly isn't one of them. Monopoly is the inevitable result of any of the following: . Inferior companies with inferior products selling out to …

I know about this floppy emulator, but it isn't quite convenient as HDD and WHD images. I have something similar on the Atari 800XL though. Well, most everything you'll ever run on a stock A500 (better stick to stock models, specially for A500 demo watching, as more often than not, they're very …

If a real Amiga's what you're after, it goes without saying you should also get an Amiga monitor, not any of this flat panel garbage. Here's a list of problems to consider: . Both colors and contrast will be off on a LCD, a natural limitation of this type of display technology and as such can't be …

At this point, WinUAE's A500 emulation is 99.99% perfect down to the last cycle. It really is an amazing piece of software considering the complexity of the hardware and quite frankly, having both the emu and a real A500 next to each other outputting to the same type of monitor under the same …

Yes there are. If you care about getting "original, unmodified bootroms and Workbench disks" you can very much forget about it. Cloanto will give you everything already working out of the box, but even the settings are not optimal and the version of WinUAE will likely be outdated by the time the …

Yep, got it off of, the local classifieds for $20. 20$? one man's trash, another man's treasure! Before 16-bit home computers became the norm, you had to choose between "toy" computers and "real" computers, and it often happened that the toy computers would have the better graphics (color, hardware …
