Testing of my new ZIP Fast Ram Memory - Static Column (16MB) for my A3000D.
Testing of my new A2091 + a wire is desoldered  :-(
Testing my new GVP A2000-HC Series (SCSI card) + project to replace the old SCSI chip by AM33C93A on socket.

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

Disco? You must have a time machine... Can I use it to go back to 1990 and fix Commodore?

Basically the same thing that I've always done with my Amigas - fiddle and fuss with them. I cleared off a spot in my junk room and hooked them back up. And installed WinUAE on my new WinTel Core I7 950 box.

I played a few levels of The Chaos Engine with my 11 year old, showed him Agony and Donkey Kong.  It was really cool to hear him say "Wow, this has really good graphics!"

Chaos Engine rocks, and Agony is pretty much my goto for showing off. I always open it with "this runs on a computer from 1985"
 
The music blows their mind, then the graphics kill them

I worked on several graphics with DPaint, and also worked with cinemorph.

Two "Projects"
 
Tested an external PC EGA to VGA adapter on my 4000T.. actually works great for $30, will post more details shortly.
 
Started playing Monkey Island 2 again on my 2000

Nothing  

[Cammy]

Programming in AmigaE, beta testing and bug reporting, surfing the web, pixelling in Personal Paint, chatting on IRC and MSN, image processing in Image Studio (which I wrote a quick tutorial on batch processing) and played some DOOM on the A1200, played some games on the A600 and noted the unworking WHDLoad games so I can report the bugs, customised my Workbench a little more, tested out the awesome new native video drivers for Aros on my netbook and laptop and played with the newly implemented 2D accelerated screen dragging, customised Zune and Wanderer with some textures I edited in Luna Paint, and watched as my A600 stopped booting anymore... I guess it's time to send her off for repairs to AmigaManiac.

I played two of my all-time favourite games:- the original Lemmings (love the music) and Benefactor (great platformer)

[Jope]

Set up an Envoy server.

Played some Dune2 and some AB3d. Found out that there is a patch on aminet that should make it playable with mouse and keyboard at the same time, but haven’t tested it yet.

Found out that if you make a folder in the winuae mapp, named Overlays and put a png picture of a monitor with the screen removed( so its transparent). You could then choose this in the ”filter tab (first overlay then the pic name) and have winuae appear on the monitor in the png picture. You could make some fun things with this.

I also made something like this in another way, instead took a big amiga picture (see pic below) made it the desktop background, then I let the winuae window cover the monitor. I then went into “Miscellaenous and changed “Windowed style from standard to borderless, also giving the impression that you sit in front of the real deal.(I think nullfilter also have to be chosen in the filter tab for the resizing to work.)

Here are some links if someone feel the urge.

Here is a screen grab of the desktop test. It's a functioning winuae on the monitor.(actually did this test the 5 but continued with it over weekend).

Ow! This weekend I just made some progress with my AMOS text-adventure. Player can't fix the Big C, but time-travels back to the late 80's-early 90's (exact date still to be decided) when dinosaurs ruled the earth and you could spot an Amiga in every corner. 8-)

That's really cool!  I use WinUAE quite heavily and never knew about this feature.  So how do you make sure the WinUAE emulation is scaled properly to fit inside the transparent "hole" in the monitor screen.

I wonder also if there is some way to use this feature so that when running a 4:3 aspect Amiga screen on a 16:9 monitor, you could have an image of your choice fill the black "pillarboxed" sides.

I also used winuae forever but started to yank the controls and suddenly.....

I think the winuae follow the windows size then nullfilter is chosen in the filter tab. This is when resizing a windowed winuae. For the desktop test above I had to go back and fourth a couple of times between standard and borderless to find the right fit. (It cant be resized when borderless is chosen. Nothing to grab onto.)



The other thing with fullscreen, filling the empty sides can probably be done with this Overlays.

Make a folder inside the winuae folder and call it "Overlays".
Put a suitable png pic inside and it will show up when you choose Overlays in the filter tab and then to the right of that choose the pic.
(I had to make a new config from the start for the Overlay to be present.

Then all controls underneath in the filter tab is to make the size and position to fit in the ”Overlayed” pic.

Here is a pic on settings I use for the Overlay with fullscreen on the second pic link above.

Hope this helps. It would be nice if a winuae expert could put together some guides.
