Well, now that I've got my A1200 all juiced up with a new CF HD, (thank you AmigaKit!), and got it running nicely on a M1438s monitor, and nicked the Blizzard 060 from the tower, :)  I need to turn my attention to software to occupy that lovely storage space.  I have just ordered WHDLoad, and amongst all the other goodies that came with the monitor, was a nice boxed copy of Dopus5.5, which I have installed.  What is a good media player?  I have cd's full of MODs I will transfer over, there was a player I really liked back when I had my original Amiga, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. What are some programs that you just can't get by without?


EgalePlayer is also a good choice. Loads of plugins.

I like Ed Player on my Minimig 1.1 but it is really works best on ECS machines.

For must have tools I'd say
Cygnus Editor,
Hamlab+
Personal Paint
AmiTradeCenter
Samba
ShapeShifter

Hamlab+ doesn't seem to support AGA, use Adpro!


very true,

I really wish it did.

I still use it for making my pattern wallpaper for workbench match the workbench palette and reduce the colors, resolution,  dither, etc. I only run WB in 16 colors, so it works well for that.

Oh man...the hours I spent using DPaint IV....I still have that spiral bound manual floating around here. I also like Brilliance! 2.0 a lot, for AGA graphics.


I know its not AGA but Digipaint 3 was also very nice.

Was my favorite back in the day...

you can get an updated version that works with 3.x here
