Amiga 500 Archive (A500A) UPDATE http://www.amiga500archive.com

- TOSEC titles from the letter “G” tested and added.

Still growing:
1354 games · 123 originals · 95 demos · 25 programs
All tested on the real Amiga 500 (PAL).

Please share & support the effort!

Just as the title suggests, has anyone tried to put these two together and if so what barriers and problems have you faced and what workarounds have you found?
I've just ordered both so, trying to understand what I'm up against 

Thank you in advance!

EmuV0 v1.0 is here!

EmuV0 is an emulator that allows running many of the 32-bit AROS applications under 64-bit AROS in an integrated and transparent way. As we are closing on migration to 64-bit system, EmuV0 fills the remaining software gap until native ports arrive. Focus in version 1.0 was on bringing 32-bit Hollywood applications and Hollywood 11 compiler to 64-bit, but many non-Hollywood application are also usable. Enjoy the software you like using on a brand new, 64-bit AROS system!

EmuV0 will be integrated into upcoming release of AROS One and AROS Portable distributions.

While finding an Agnus I bought an FTDI RS232 USB adapter to read the DiagROM startup log. Looks all ok, but I want to share here just for knowledge.

Seriously, these types of business practices can't be tolerated. Once communication fails, I no longer accept any delaying tricks or tactics before beginning the transaction dispute process with the finance company. I use a credit card or similar now, especially for overseas transactions in different currencies, and just pay within 30 days to avoid finance charges. For large purchases, there is also third-party escrow. The lesson was hard learned, but it has saved me money several times on difficult transactions since then.

I hope you end up getting your money back, but I feel that it may be too late by now. Honestly, I feel sorry for you if you do receive the X5000-5040. My 5040 complete system has been one of the worst, most expensive, and frustrating mistakes that I have made in the last 40 years on anything!

In my opinion, mine and others 5040 motherboards are somehow flawed at a firmware/hardware level and have never/can never work properly. Somehow, this behavior seems to have quietly been acknowledged and accepted as Standard Operating Procedure. I guess some people are happy if they even startup at all - so just deal with these nagging issues that can't be fixed.  This is my guess as to why new 5040 motherboards don't exist and likely won't be made again.

It almost feels like the 5040 motherboard and or firmware wasn't quite finished, and they pushed it out too early anyway. My 5020 on the other hand is a rock-solid pleasure to use. I had serial debug setup on the 5040 and even bought the device to read the MCU debug output. I gave up when the last update trashed the boot drive. Now, it doesn't boot from anything.
