Sounds like silence

The silence on the blog should not be taken as sign of abandonment. Work has been simmering slowly the last few months, however my actual paid work, and other stuff have taken most of my time.

Amiga: Shadow Of The Beast IV Fan-Art Intro

I do not understand how i could have not heard about this when it came out back in 2013, but yes this is actually the first time i got to see the whole intro, and by the look of things it seems i am not the only one. Artist VaanDark put this amazing video up in 2013, in both english and polish languages, the music and graphics hold high standard too and quite believable to the SOTB universe. I...

"I Created Disco" by Calvin Harris - made on Amiga!

Did you know multiple-gold-and-platinum-record-selling artist Calvin Harris not only created Disco, but he created it on an Amiga computer using OctaMED?

The album, released in 2007, was a major success, spawning two top-10 singles in the UK, and was certified gold in the UK in 2008. It has an undeniable Paula-feel to it, but the production quality is flawless, modern, and... groovy!

Show your appreciation and buy the album!

How About A Video Of “Every” Amiga Game Released?

Imagine spending all this time at recording and playing every single game out there? , imagine all the bad games? , all the good ones? , it is an humongous task to say the least. The video here is an incredible 7 hours and 25 minutes long and supposedly got every Amiga game released in it, i...

Help! Microbotics / Paravision M1230XA accelerator board repair

I have an old Microbotics / Paravision M1230XA accelerator board, and it's not working properly. Can you help me debugging it?

For starters, a few screenshots would help: SetXA utility window / running, Early Startup Menu boards listing, "showconfig" output, SysInfo screen with speed test results (each of course with a working M1230XA installed).

I mostly test my board with Kickstart 3.0 - are you aware of any issues regarding KS3.0 and the M1230XA?
(apart from the fact that RAM has to be added "manually" / software-wise)

The Return Of WonderBoy/Girl – The Dragon Trap Remake

I’ve been joking a lot about the PS4 being the master of remakes lately and guess what, i actually meant it too albeit not in such a negative way as many would like to think it is. There’s been loads of good remakes and ports for the last couple of years and i welcome those like butter on bread, it is the bad ones and quick money grabs that i hate – oh and of course if...
