Amiga Software Issues and Discussion / Can u Identify these Items?
« Last post by V Man on November 23, 2025, 03:52:08 PM »
This brown plug is a dongle, but what program is it for? T.V Paint? It was a security measure so you couldn't copy a program and run it w/o this dongle.

Next question this Seamless Boned Ik program I can't find anywhere, tried to search it, image search, asked plp on AmiBay (other Amiga sites) etc, can't find much on it. Is it rare, hard to find?

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / SD-reader options for A500+
« Last post by IlyaZ on November 23, 2025, 03:32:02 PM »
Hello,

I have lots of floppies and want to free up some physical space, so I am considering my options. Most of my floppy drives are not working anymore anyway. I got one that still works - I think. I also got a CD-reader that seems to work, I guess I could load firmware if need be.

So far I know about

SDBox V2
Gotek floppy emulator (or the like)
ACA500plus
SCSI2SD

Essentially I want to copy over the floppies to HDD (SD-card) or similar and run games from there. Some games are multi floppy. Will they require a physical eg. floppy 2 or can they be run from HDD entirely anyway?

I have a a500+ with A500-HD+ so that would make it possible to use SCSI2SD. However, it would be difficult to combine ACA500plus with the A500-HD+?

I'm not super interested in removing the internal floppy (except perhaps from the unit where it doesn't work - I was told an IC reseat should do the trick though), and heard that some games likely won't start from a secondary drive?

Performance is of interest.

What would be my best option?

Yes, I have! The case got dismissed without a word of explanation  :-\

> How was it stolen from you?

I was renovating and put the Amiga in the basement until the room is finished - I had a break-in to the basement and it was stolen then, along with other items, like a Commodore 64 with SD to drive emulator and other less important items.

That's very kind of you!

How was it stolen from you?

Looking at the sales thread it sold very cheaply with someone with a 0 feedback and a newly opened account in October 25.

Have started a thread over on Amibay and pointed this link as well.

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: Registration Failed
« Last post by Tierblume on November 23, 2025, 10:26:50 AM »
@amigakit

I have the same problem as the second owner; I can't register it anymore either.

Is there a more convenient solution, or is it enough that I've sent you a message with all the information?

Hello dear Amiga fans!

I wanted to inform that my stolen A1200 was recently sold on eBay, if by some unlikely chance there happens to be a person here that actually bought it or knows who bought it - I'd love to buy it back - it contains a lot of memories.

The Amiga contains some surprises that the seller had no idea about that I'd gladly use to prove the ownership.

Here's the auction link of the stolen Amiga: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/306595878494

Amiga OS / Re: Amiga Forever Kickstart ROMS

My AF11 ISO has a rom.key file in the ROMs directory but not sure if that means that the ROM files are encrypted or not.

After a quick check online it states the Value Edition of AF since AF 8 are likely to have ROM's with XOR encryption making the ROM file approx. 1kb larger eg 513kb rather than the standard 512kb. This is coupled with a rom.key in the ROM folder. There are 128kb and 256kb ROMs also that this would apply to.

It also states AF Plus Edition and Premium Edition since AF 8 do not have this encryption system and are unencrypted.

My AF 11 Premium downloadable package has unencrypted ROMs.

Are the v11 ones unencrypted?

There was quite a discussion on EAB about when that happened. AFAIK AF has had unencrypted ROMS for awhile. At least since v9 maybe.
