No more Emulator for me - Want an Amiga

If you're interested MAINLY in OCS/ECS games I'd recommend to forget A600 and all the shit that comes with it. If I were you I'd buy PS3 and run Amiga emulation on it.. uses E-UAE but only a fraction of OCS/ECS won't run.. hardfiles with WHD works also. Costs you less than $300 and you get the best multimedia/games-center as a bonus.

If you're interested in AMOS-programming then this won't be an option as I think keyboard and mouse aren't supported by PS3 EUAE (yet!).

You would have to hack your PS3 to play amiga games on.

This may cause issues as Sony claim to have solved the hacking issue with the last firmware update.

AFAIK nobody has disputed this yet

The OP wants to program, and he does not want to use an emu. He says so in the first post.

@Bloodline

The Amiga is very PAL/NTSC compatible, why won't it interface with a modern PAL/NTSC tv? Iv'e had no probs so far. I recomended an A1200, but my point holds true- far cheaper. Both the A600 and A1200 feature IDE ports.

He may not need AGA, but he may wish to use it in the future. Certainly more RAM will help with WHDload. And the speed will help with compile times.

So your point is pretty much pointless then. The OP wants to program, and he does not want to use an emu.

It's not pointless. The best and easiest way to have an Amiga plugged into your bigscreen-telly is the way I told. Plus who would want an ugly Amiga in his livingroom anyway, can't imagine many livingrooms the creamy lightbrown color fits. Current EUAE is pretty much on par with real A500/A600 .. if not even better.

Da Man Said "Real!"

There are no issues I am aware of.

Surely the easiest way would be to get an Amiga and plug it into the TV with a RF/Scart/Composite cable

How about the issue of being banned from PSN and being unable to play future PS3 software?

Who in their right mind would let their hacked PS3 to connect to internet?

I have a second PS3 for that purpose. The hacked one is part of my homenetwork and used mainly for watching pictures and movies, listening to music and emulating several retro-machines.

And as told before, where in your livingroom you hide the Amiga?

He wants a real Amiga
He does not want to use an emulator
He wants to use a mouse to draw
He wants to use a keyboard to program
He probably does not want to spend 300 quid, when he can get an A600/A1200 for far less. Even the minimig is cheaper.

Why don't you listen to what the the man wants, rather than trying force your viewpoint that's contrary to what has been requested?

The MiniMig output is scan doubled and flicker fixed... My LCD TVs look horrible when running my A500 and A1200... Both via RGB (Scart) and the RF modulator...

AMOS isn't generally compiled but the 68k on the MiniMig does run quite a bit faster than the A600.

I would never dream of hiding my Amiga

..and encouraging illegal activities that I think is not allowed on Amiga.org
