What did you do on your amiga this weekend?

[runequester]

Weekend being Friday night, Saturday and today for these purposes.


I messed around a bit with deluxe paint, installed a few games (Trapped and Heimdall 2), played a few games (Alien Breed 3D with headphones on and sound cranked up, continuing an older game of UFO)

Also listened to a bunch of cool mods. Look in the mod section of aminet under "neurodancer" if you like techno stuff. Pretty rad.

Have to work today, but tonight, I am likely going to give it another go at Dpaint.

Compiling, debugging and profiling. Same as last weekend

I haven't switched an Amiga on this weekend, but I have been planning to convert one of my spare rooms into a retro gaming/music room with my arcade cabinet, a desk for my A1200, and my laptop and keyboards :afro:

I did some short (2 second - 30 frame) animations in Disney's Animation studio and in DPaint in order to better understand the programs.  Then I ran them through filters in ImageFX.  My goal was to see if I can take animations done in 320x240, scale them to 640x480 with antialiasing turned on, and then run a few filters to remove jaggies.

That way I could do animations in lo-res Amiga resolutions and convert them for better display on a television or Youtube, or burning to DVD.

It actually sort of works with animations because they are line drawings.  Some of the filters thicken up the lines and make it look like it was drawn with felt-tip marker.

Well, yesterday I picked up an Amiga game featuring my favourite car of all of time at a charity shop for 50p



So I went to www.whdload.de and got the hard drive installer for it to install the game into an A4000 and get a lovely icon




I decided to search YouTube for some footage of this awesome 217mph car in action and was pleasantly surprised to find this:-

I'm currenty checking over an A1200 Tower and will be installing the game into that as well

I went to a disco wearing a indigo T-shirt with a big rainbow amiga ticker on it - does that count?

[nicholas]

I bought it.

Played Lotus 2 on friday and saturday on A1200.

Rest of the time using AmIRC, AMPlifier, IBrowse, Magellan, AmTelnet and other Amiga software under MorphOS. As well as watching couple of movies with mplayer on the same system.

I bought it.

You got that 1200 you were after?

[tone007]

I bought it.

Best answer!

[divined]

I`d been playing several whdload games with my daughter on my A1200. Some old retro games like Rainbow Islands, Rick Dangerous, Rodland and others!! Been also catching up on my c64 coding using an emulator!!

[giZmo350]

Played 18 holes of PGA Tour Golf and 10 frames on King Pin Bowling on the A1200. The background sounds on KPB are great. Suprising how many games run on an accelerated A1200. Still trying to find a working copy Batman The Movie too.

Setup some door games for the BBS under-construction on my newly accelerated Amiga 600.  Ordered some CF adapters and a few NICs for my 1200s so I can get them on the LAN and retire their old hard drives.  

Some of the 3D videos running around here have somewhat inspired me to test out 3D stuff on my 4000T/060 (never bothered before) and maybe see what 3D stuff I can push out of the A600.

I did indeed but it's a tower, so I'm probably going to flog it off in parts and buy a wedge with the profit.

Instant free miggy!

[Karlos]

If it's working OK, why bother? Admittedly, a wedge is nice to have, but as long as it's not a complete Frankenstein's monster, can't you just use it as is? After all, if you did have a wedge, there'd come a time when you manage to score some more kit for it and you'd be towering it again. Don't deny it, you know it's true
