Yesterday MikeJ released a new Amiga core for the FPGA Arcade which apart from scrollwheel support, OSD options for Mouse/Joysticks and some 2nd joystick button also added 3 headers on the AUX_IO spot for Power, Floppy and Hard Drive LEDS.

The creativity of some of the Amiga users astounds me. Let’s take a look at this one. Remember the old A520 composite adapter that you would fit to the RGB 23 pin port and get a composite video output? Here’s a picture:

If you like your side-scrolling platformers to be challenging then Sqrxz 3 will certainly test your skills to the very limits. It's unforgiving in a very oldskool kind of way. Here's the press release from one of the Sqrxz developers, phx;

Yes, it's been yet another long break between blog posts. Unfortunately life gets in the way, meaning that recently I've had very little time to devote to playing games on my trusty Amigas. I've been keeping up-to-date on all things Amiga 30 related, but I'm now in the process of catching-up on what I've missed in the Amiga games world.

First-up, and announced towards the back-end of July, was the news that Tales of Gorluth II is not only under development, but is also available for pre-order.

I had many ideas in the past of what case to use for my FPGA Arcade.

A while ago I found a hack how to add 64MB or RAM into the Amiga 4000 motherboard:

ONE SIDENOTE: this hack will NOT work on Rev D Amiga 4000 (those with the 030 soldered onboard) or the A4000T

Hi guys, it's certainly been a long time no see :(

Sadly except my heavy work and family obligations that kept me long time from my retr0sport and custom modding we (Greece as a country) had some crappy financial situation with capital control, banks closed etc (which most will know already) so we still can't buy many products overseas using PayPal or Credit cards. Not gonna spend more lines on that matter though...

I needed some more horsepower for my FPGA compiles, and because it’s been so long since my last PC build, I decided to take advantage of some free time I had, and build a new machine.

This machine is a quad-core i7 build with 32GB of DDR3 and (2) 240GB SSDs.

I have been looking at ways to convert float to int fast, lately.
I have been thinking about this video.

C64 Demo coders trying to make C64 do more than they should able to do.
So there has been lots of talk about JIT compiler in Amiga community, EUAE jit compiler by Álmos Rajnai.

Happy 30^th birthday, Amiga!

Lost family member on 10/06/015 and gone realy cold not coding anything just paused my works until i get my mood back.

I want to put together a softcore 68K computer system, just something simple.

I’ve purchased, but not yet received, the Terasic Cyclone V GX Starter Kit, an Altera FPGA eval board.

So, some really cool things have been popping up lately over in Amiga-land:

WinUAE version 3.2.0 will be adding some VERY cool new options:
