Working on my Amiga 4000T for this latest build has been refreshing and fun - setting up AmigaOS 3.2.2, getting the ZZ9000 and ZZ9000AX and applications working well was very satisfying. You can read the first part of this build here if you want to get up to speed. 

AmiWest 2023 is less than 10 weeks away! We have a DevCon update, RetronicDesign discount, Exhibitor update, hotel and banquet updates. Click more for details!

Now a short description how to upgrade an Apollo 4040 (3040) to 4060 (3060)

As usual the mandatory “Before” picture:

Hi Everyone, 

another Big Boss created for the Boss Machine - Amiga "DeathStormer", as always lots more info on my Patreon of other enemies and details :)

I got notified this week that as part of compliance with EEA and UK guidelines, my blog is required to comply with new requirements to be able to continue to place Google AdSense ads on this website.

Ask yourself a question. If you could have the ultimate Amiga, what would it look like?

I saw a post from the blog website Vintage is the New Old this week announcing they are closing down the site. I was naturally sad to see this. I thank them for their work, and wish the creators well for the future. 

I am not at all surprised by the reasons why they are closing it down. It touched a nerve with me, so I wanted to make a small comment about it.

It's HOT in California and AmiWest planning is on fire! The Banquet ticket reservation form is now avaiable, A-Eon is a Gold show sponsor once more, raffle items are coming in, and our list of Amiga personalities is growing. Click to read more!

Pleased to say that my Republic Of Gamers (ROG) Ally handheld PC has arrived as my early birthday present to myself! Let's take a closer look at the setup and also upgrades I did straight away! 

Our featured banquet speaker will be Garry Hare, former CEO of Amiga Inc., after a near two decades Garry will return to AmiWest to share his unique role in the History of the Amiga. Also, Trevor Dickinson has confirmed his attendance and the show rate at the hotel is open for bookings. Click for more details!

"Denise" is a new Amiga (and C64) emulator for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. And it's surprisingly good!

Development of "Denise" seems to date back to around 2017, when it started as a Commodore 64 emulator. In March 2023 author PiCiJi released version 2.0, which adds Amiga 500 and 1000 emulation. Running Fedora Linux, I gave it a quick try.

As regular readers would know, I spent a bit of time recently upgrading my Amiga 500 to use with my ACA500 Plus solution. I covered this build over a series of blog posts - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3.

 I found out recently about the Perth Amiga User Group (you can find them on Facebook here), and decided to go to one of their meetings in late May 2023 and make a weekend getaway out of it!

However, I couldn't go there empty-handed, so I decided to work some more on my Amiga 600 build, as it is the smallest Amiga and therefore the easiest to bring in my luggage on the 3 hour flight to Perth.

Previously unreleased games, ported games, spin-off games, in-game games, original games!

Red41 The Silent Death

"Red 41 The Silent Death" by Digital Warp is an unfinished game that only got a preview back in 1993. Roughly thirty years later, then-developer-team-member Daniele Pomposelli has dug out the latest available version from his private archives.
