AmigaBlogs

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.

AWeb APL Lite with (then) latest AmiSSL

Also in February, version 3.5.091 of web browser "AWeb" was recompiled with the (then) latest (compare below) version of AmiSSL for improved https support.

Temptations

I love listening to music, especially techno, hip hop, ambient and dance music from the 90's to today. I have some YouTube playlists I created here and here if you want to hear some of my techno and dance favourites! 

Shenandoah: Daughter Of The Stars was set for release in late 1993/early 1994. It has been lost in development hell for decades but, now it is finally here, better than ever!

PIXEL Moon Tutorial

If you want to learn how to draw Pixel art, one way is to copy another design. In this tutorial after an Amigan requested some help on an Amiga Facebook site, I decided to quickly create this tutorial to help on how to approach creating some Pixel Art.

A quick summary: 

 Hey my friends...

Took me quite a few years to return to what I loved most, but the past weird years, the community dragged me back and since October of 2022 I'm back on track!

I have many things I wanna share from the last 6+ months but I hope in the next days/weeks to start writing and tinkering again with my blog.

So thanks all for sticking all this time, and stay tuned for more...

Today, I continue onto Part 3 of the Amiga 500 build. You can click on Part 1 and Part 2 blog entries to get up to speed on the considerable work already done!

I am focused now on the setup of a AmigaOS 1.3/3.1/3.2.2 switchable configuration, and getting the Amiga 500 online with the ACA500 Ethernet module (X-Surf 500). 

 Following on from my previous blog entry about my new Amiga 500 build, I have done a lot more with the Amiga 500 build since then, and wanted to cover it, along with looking at the new Tank mouse which arrived this week!

A few years ago, as we all sadly know, the entire Planet and our very...

Although it is well known that I am a big Amiga fan, I also have a lot of love for the Commodore 64, which I still have and actively use in 2023. 

There is a lot of new release games, demos and even a new operating system for the Commodore 64 in 2023 to enjoy. So today I wanted to shine a light on the amazing world of Commodore 64 in 2023!
