    Good information and instructions, thanks! I got back into Amiga heavily this year. I’ve had an A600 since it was released and upgraded it too, but finally this summer I got my dream machine, the A1200. Bought it for a very reasonable price from a friend and it came with the Blizzard 1230 as well. Got it recapped and maintenanced, with an IDE/SD adapter. How nice to finally be gaming with the A1200! I also got a new case and keyboard for it. Nothing wrong with emulation or FPGA, but for me it’s a joy to use real hardware, with a CRT of course.

    • @MikeyGRetro
      @MikeyGRetro 3 дня назад

      Great to hear you got your dream machine. A1200 is an awesome machine and with an accelerator it gives you alot of options. Glad you got it recapped and a new case is a great idea, I might need to check those out for mine.

    I have been dealing with alot of personal issues this year. It meant I wasn't in the right mind frame to make videos. I know that this video will not be up to my normal standard but it's a start and I wanted to get something out before the end of the year. I'm sorry to my dedicated supporters who have been donating and not getting anything in return. I really appreciate you. I look forward to saying goodbye to 2024 and for things to hopefully get better and get back to making videos which I did enjoy.

    I actually had a similar reason for wanting an Alphasmart of some model, something a little more spartan that doesn't have an addiction to the internet. For now, I have an old laptop whose WiFi adapter remains off and PyRoom on Linux for that purpose, but the additional battery life would be a diving save for any bouts of writer's block I might encounter.

    The top two things to do for game compatibility is to pop in an 8372A Agnus chip if you don't already have one in there and add in the extra 512K in the trap door. That's what most devs were looking for back in the day. As long as you take good care of your diskettes, you can keep on using them. ADF2Disk is a pretty slick little utility so re-writing to them is a snap. Oh, and a second diskette drive, assuming you aren't going the Gotek route. The rest is just icing on the cake.

Is there any way to make it record at a fixed frame rate?

    I bought one of these when they first came out, back when I had a better job and disposable income. Haven't really used it since. My take is, it's great if you grew up with an Amiga and want to relive some of that nostalgia. If you're like me, and didn't have one, it's just "meh". Definitely not worth the price if you're not a huge Amiga fan already. If you want to know if you'll like Amiga games enough to get one, try an emulator first.

  • @samshort365

    Back in 91 I was in the market for a computer. A friend suggested that I buy and Amiga with an PC card. However, anyone that I knew who owned and Amiga used it exclusively to play games, so I was somewhat reluctant. I ended up buying a PC laptop. Nevertheless, I was awestruck when I saw the A3000 and A4000 on display In a large department store and what they were capable of. The price, though, was more than I could afford at the time. Years later, I ended up emulating the A4000 on a dedicated PC and I still have the disc images just begging for another go and I even bought a boxed set of Wordsworth 7, manual and all.
