I've not updated this month, so today I did it - without checking what new features were going to be added.  Wow.  Once again you guys have surpassed my expectations - thank you!

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: A500 Memory Expansion issues
« Last post by Munchkin on August 30, 2025, 07:19:08 PM »
Just wondering what you want help with.

Do you have any kind of problem? Suggestions what to do with it?

I'd ask, what would you like to do/be able to do as a way to suggest what kind of additional hardware you might want to look at. If you just want the original experience and just play old games or if you want a modernised system with the ability to do more modern and demanding stuff.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / A500 Memory Expansion issues
« Last post by Eyerisk73 on August 30, 2025, 11:06:59 AM »
Hi,

Complete Novice and soooo excited to have an Amiga back in my life at the age of 52.

I purchased it 2nd hand all working ok and then started buying up all of the games I played back when I was a teenager. I have now purchased two memory expansion modules for the A500 both from Amiga Kit the first one I think I ordered A500+ instead of A500 however the result is the same the Amiga will not recognise the additional memory.

Any suggestions, its sat correctly I have powered off and on all the usual stuff - I am yet to open up the actual PC but have no problems doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Ian

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: I can't get a single WHDLoad game to work on my A600GS!

By the way, when a WHDLoad game is started for the first time, I keep getting a notice that the Setpatch is not found. Why is that, and what might it affect?

Setpatch will only be there if it's needed.

From my own experience with WHDLoad games:

1. You need a full complement of ROMs (1.3 and up). It sounds like your Amiga Forever ROMs are still encrypted, if you have a Windows install I believe the ROMs are decrypted after first run of the Amiga Forever emulator.
2. Not every WHDLoad game will work - partly because the A600GS uses JST instead of whdload. Use ADF/ISO/HDF instead, or you can run them from an Amiga OS install (you'll need to install whdload).
3. Enable "Faster Chipset" and/or JIT as a last resort. They're just as likely (if not more so) to cause problems as fix them.

Hi, I just found this site after hauling my old Amiga 2000 down from the attic. I used this computer for many years at the end the nineties. I was just feeling nostalgic about it. Plus I'd like to get some of my old writing back.

Unfortunately the hard disk seems dead and beyond repair, and I no longer have a monitor for the 2000, so I can't really do anything useful. It powers up, and I believe from the sounds it's looking for a boot floppy to be inserted. It has two floppy drives. One seems to be a regular one, the other, reading the label, is an Amtrade brand A357/Sony drive.


I do have a bunch of old floppies which may have been used to back the data on the hard drive up. I hope I can back up the data from them as a start. So my first question i have, is there a way I can get the data off of the floppies to preserve what's left, using one of my PC's? I don't suppose I could connect one to the Amtrade drive....

Well, in any case, thanks to you all for being here on this forum, I'm glad to see so much interest for these old Amigas presently. I think it was probably my favorite computer of all time.

And of course, any help would be appreciated.

ps. I use Puppy Linux, these days as my main OS driver. I can dual boot to Win 7 or 11 if required, but 99% of the time I use Lin..

Thank you. I’ve seen several of these out there but still wading through the understanding process.

A Mediator does give you the oprion of adding a compatible TV tuner card which you could hook the neglected CD32 up to.  I did a similar thing back in the day when a friend loaned me their PS2.

Or as a poor man’s Scandoubler/Flicker fixer to show Amiga WHDLoad Games via a RGB to composite cable.
