The cover for Bootblock Rebels will be created by J.O.E. the legendary Amiga scene artist known from Scoopex, TRSI, WOW and many more classic intros, cracktros, and demo releases.

In recent years J.O.E has returned to the scene, creating new graphics for C64 demo productions - so it’s a truly active scener bringing real scene DNA into the book.

Outside the scene, J.O.E works professionally as a visual effects artist, credited on major productions including Avatar, King Kong, Titanic, Apollo 13, X-Men, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, among many others.

The Kickstarter ends March 15, the biggest help is still simple: share the campaign link in a relevant group or DM it to an Amiga friend.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: Intermittend boot problems Amiga 600

Measure what _KB_RESET is doing when the problem happens.  Under normal conditions, this line should be near 0V immediately at power on (holding the system in reset state), then go high to around 5V after about 100ms.  If it's staying low (or U14 pin 3 measures around 0.6V instead of close to 0V as it should normally be), the system will be forever stuck in a frozen state.  A common problem is C611 getting corroded by capacitor electrolyte and going resistive, making the power on reset circuit stay active.  Replace C611 - 100nF, 1206 package ceramic capacitor, if there's been any corrosion in that area, which it sounds as though there is.

If there are still problems, or the problem isn't related to _KB_RESET, i.e. it's around 5V but the system still isn't running; then use the serial output from DiagROM to at least see what's happening when the system tries to boot.

Check, but with only a CF2IDE adapter (which has only 1 connector), there is only 1 device the Amiga sees? So I assume no master/slave jumper required on the adapter then?

If the CF2IDE has a jumper. There still might be a conflict with another device on the line on the secondary. But it’s always #Amigalife

You tried WHDload Wrapper? in my experience, anything that had issues or never worked. Instantly were sorted by using this.
I am unfamiliar with WHDload Wrapper. I shall go take a look. Still, I'd rather not rely entirely on WHDload for running items of the sort I'm talking about.

Amiga OS / Surfing the internet with an Amiga in 2026

Hello everyone,

My name is David and this is my first message on the forum, so I hope you’ll excuse the slightly unusual nature of my post.

I recently started an internship at Simple CRM (https://simple-crm.ai), a company that develops customer relationship management software. When I began the internship, I expected to work mainly on topics like AI and sales processes. However, on my very first day something unexpected caught my attention.

On the CEO’s desk I noticed a strange device. Curious, I asked what it was. Brice, the CEO, explained that it was a Nokia Communicator. That moment turned into a small discovery for me: I realized that even before I was born, there were pocket-sized microcomputers with impressive capabilities. From there, he started showing me other machines such as Psion devices, Pocket PCs, Sharp organizers, Commodore 64, and more.

As he talked about them, I could see how nostalgic he became. He told me he would love to use these machines again in everyday life. The problem, of course, is that modern life revolves around the internet. That’s when he had an idea: create a service that would allow people to browse the web again using these legendary devices.

A few days later he showed me a project he had put online:
https://telex.wasmer.app/vintage.php


It’s a proxy designed for older machines. He also made it free and open source, available here:
https://github.com/bricecornet/TERMINAL-PROXY/

That gave me a slightly crazy idea: what if I used my internship to help improve this project and make it easier for enthusiasts of these classic machines to access the web again?

So here I am, reaching out to this community.

Would some of you be willing to test the proxy, or even install it yourselves since it’s open source?

If you try it, I would love to know:

  • which machine you used
  • which browser
  • whether it works or not
  • and if it doesn’t work, what bug or issue you encountered

The goal is simply to improve the solution for the community.

At the moment I haven’t yet been able to test it on an Amiga. For reference, I’ve already tested it on Nokia Communicator and Psion devices, with the results shown below.

If anyone is interested in contributing further, GitHub contributions are of course very welcome.

Thank you very much for your help and for taking the time to read this.

David

The Amiga still follows standard IDE protocols. I.e 1st Master, 2nd Slave.

Update on My SNES Patches

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give you all an update regarding the removal of my old SNES patches. After a pretty intense year, 2025 turned out to be a huge learning experience for me. I’ve picked up a lot of new skills in coding, optimization, and overall best practices for creating solid, reliable patches.

Because of that, I decided to take down all my previous patches. They just weren’t coded the way I’d want them to be today, and with everything I’ve learned, it felt right to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. I’m now focusing on new projects and new games, using a much more refined and mature approach.

As for the old patches, I’m not sure yet if I’ll revisit them. Maybe someday I’ll rework them and bring them up to the quality standard I’m aiming for, but I can’t promise anything at the moment.

Thanks to everyone who supported my work so far. This reset is a necessary step for me to grow and deliver better content to the community.

Thanks for de insights guys!

Just to be sure regarding 2 devices on one data bus: if I only connect the IDE2CF adapter (which only has one connector instead of yours), then I don't have to worry about a master/slave jumper I suppose as there is only one device on the bus then? Or is the onboard IDE connector sharing the bus with something else in itself you mean?

And does anyone know if there's a difference between Kickstart 3.0 and 3.1 in terms of maximum card size (or partition size)?

Cheers!

@mvickers03 a few questions to get started:
Which version of C&C, Tiberian Dawn, or Red Alert (there are links to both in the thread)
What version of Amiga OS and kickstart
Can you run SnoopDos to see if it shows any missing files when you try and run the game?

Thanks.
