Recently Cherry Darling released a new free game for AmigaOS4 (and MorphOS) called VoxelNoid, an arkanoid style game with a 3d voxel twist to the gameplay.

Now it is time to fix power, storage and finalize the build.

First, as the BPPC requires more power then the Amiga motherboard can handle. I have to add one extra +5V line.  I was thinking on how to fix this.  First I was planned to use the “Sheild” cable in the powercable as it was unused, but after some thinking I decided this to be a bad move and IF I should connect that to an non-modified Amiga, bad things would happen.  So I decided to have a extra powercable for the separate +5V.

As long as you just want to emulate a basic a500 without a JIT, building uae is quite straight forward.

But for 32-bit, JIT and most other nice features you need to adapt the uae memory model to the host abilities. Enabling JIT still causes green boot screens, but at least ZIII support is coming closer:

My focus has been on AmiWest for the past few weeks, so I haven't done much in Classic Amiga land - my apologies in the delay in posting.

Over the past few months I've been reading much about Gotek drives, and that if flashed with a specific firmware, they can be used on classic Amiga systems.

My main Amiga's an A1200 tower, and while that's packed with games that can be run via WHDLOAD I have two issues - the first being that not all games will run on my current set-up, and the second ia that my A1200 tower is a desktop machine, meaning that if I fancy some gaming I've got to do it sat at my desk.

I can't believe we are only a couple of weeks away from another Amiwest show. It seems like only yesterday I was packing my red suitcase for my now annual pilgrimage to Sacramento. A lot has happened in the past year both in the Amiga world and my personal life.

Hi peepz. I thought about sharing an update to my main gaming rig.

Some weeks ago I sold my Asus GTX760 DC2OC to a friend so I was without a GPU for this time. Thankfully the NVidia Maxwell series arrived, so I knew that it was time to update my mini rig :)
Sadly the GTX980 is out of my budget so the GTX970 was picked (it's best value for money anywayz).

Now to the tricky part... WHAT GTX970 is appropriate for my SG06?
I decided not to buy the entry level from any hardware vendor, so now I had 5 things to consider:

I can type now, not all keys working, but enough to continue:
