Epsilon's Amiga X1000 Blog

Hi All,

I have written a new blog post taking a brief look at Amiga MIDI on the MIST FPGA system.

I thought it was just for Atari ST cores, but It works on the Amiga cores too!

Hi All,

This weekend I wrote two new blog posts - one is a sneak peak at the upcoming game Catacomb 3D on Amiga CD32, and the other is a quick look at the recently released CD32 game called Reshoot.

Links are here:

I hope you enjoy them.

@ Epsilon... Awesome meeting as usual! Really cool to see Trevor and Robert there! Can't wait to try out Alice and A1222 products someday! Thanks for all you do for the Amiga community!

Robert B is like a commodore and Amiga ambassador in the USA we are lucky to have him in the community.

I wrote a new blog post this weekend covering the latest Adelaide Retro Computing Group meeting on 14th October, with a BASIC programming theme.

We had plenty of Amiga systems running AMOS Basic programs written for the event, 2 player Amiga serial link up, CD32 running Catacomb 3D and also plenty of other systems too! Lots of photos!

Today I wrote another blog post covering Part 3 of my Amiga 1200 upgrade series, this time focusing on upgrading the CF Card from 4GB to 8Gb card, AmigaOS 3.9 upgrade and AmiKit Real 8.1 upgrade work. Lots of photos of the work involved.

@ epsilon,
On the 4000T backplane, it was supposed to have a L-shaped bracket to hold down the module and video cards in place.

[BozzerBigD]

Yeah, I've got one. It isn't the best fit in the world with a card in the bottom slot of the three (?) it covers. Also, if you have any of the slots spare the little cover pieces are an absolute nightmare to fit without them falling out. Once secure it's fine however. You should be able to machine your own version of the bracket.

Hi All,

Today I have written a new blog post about the recently released game called Project Starfighter for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition on my AmigaOne X1000. Plenty of screenshots and youtube video of the gameplay as well!

Great read as always Epsilon, but yeah, get that barrel battery away from all that lovely hardware

Got a coin-cell battery in mine.

i would like to mention, that there is my older starfighter port for amiga on aminet. its been a bit slow on my a4k-060/50+voodoo3, but almost playable. i think mostly due to fixed 600x800 resolution, which is too much for a framebuffer this size to be fed via zorro/mediator at 7mb/s for full framerate.

http://aminet.net/game/shoot/Starfighter-1.1-m68k.lha

it would be something for vampire owners to check out, if the game runs at full speed on their systems. it may demand agl.library (storm mesa installation) which, inexperienced as i was probably linked against. (i dont remember well) i could try to recompile that though, if there is any interest.

Hi All,

I have written a new blog post looking in detail at the new recently released Vampire 500 V2 Gold Core installation on my Amiga 2000!

Such a great upgrade with lots of photos naturally :-)
