Hi everyone! I've just updated the Amiga Christmas Tree website for this year - https://amigachristmastree.ultimateamiga.com/ If you spot any Christmas-themed Amiga games, mods, demos or wallpapers I've missed, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Happy Christmas Gaming!

Hi there,

I know this is an old thread, but I couldn't resist my urge to throw in my thoughts on this one.

What you have to keep in mind about the Emu68 is... it's not just a piece of software that runs on the CPU - it IS the "CPU"; thus, without it, the computer won't run at all (unless it's installed alongside a stock CPU with, say, a Lazarustorm, of course).

The PiStorm doesn't use the SD card as emulated Amiga FS hard drives only, it has a FAT32 partition from which it loads the Emu68 kernel initially. Without this, there's no CPU and hence, no booting - not even from floppy. I've yet to read the OP's first thread; however, I know the above to be true.

Hi everyone. I was a real Amiga fanatic back in the day. Started off with a A500+, then an A1200, which had a GVP 030 accelerator, and my last Amiga, an A4000/030, which I still own. It’s been sat in my loft for over 25 years and recently I got it down to have a look, due to nostalgia. I had packed it away carefully but unfortunately, didn’t know about the potential for leaking batteries and capacitors when I did. The actual case, mouse, and keyboard are in very good condition but, on opening it up there was obvious corrosion around the battery and around the capacitors in the audio area. I have started to restore it and after some trace repairs, capacitors replacement and a couple of IC replacements, it now boots AND recognises fast RAM. I was thinking of selling it but have decided to keep it instead. I’m in the process of doing a couple of upgrades/modernisations (gotek, CF drive, OSSC). The audio is a little flaky so will replace the audio ports and see whether that improves things. If not, I’ll look at possible IC replacements. If you’re interested I’ll post some pictures of the progress.

Thank you
