Thanks a lot Manny for watching, and very glad you enjoyed the restoration! It was a fun project and such a kick to re-live some of these old memories...
@@JeremyParkerMusic yeah I enjoyed so much that one day I want to revive mine Amiga! Don't know if it will turn on without problems or is better to replace electrolithic caps before the first power feed after so many years...
@@manny-77 that's fantastic! I did power up mine first without replacing the electrolytic caps, and I didn't see any that appeared to be leaking, so it's possible it might be OK on your machine for now if you can visually check first. (My biggest worry initially was the Varta battery, which was leaking and starting to damage the memory expansion board.) Also, you might power on the Amiga power supply first by itself and check the voltages before connecting?
@@JeremyParkerMusic yes I can test voltages, good idea! And for the battery I remember to have 1MB total memory even if was not A500+. I don't remember to have an RTC. I hope to have an Amiga without battery!
@@manny-77 you probably have the memory expansion board like me, which has the RTC on it. So if the battery is leaking, hopefully it would only be on the memory board. Best to remove the memory board when you power on for the first time I think.
I watched this one like all your other creations with focused energy knowing and appreciating what it takes to do what you do, not just because as your Dad I've watched you grow from the time you were born, but also because what you are doing is so creative and exceptional technically, technologically and humanly. I am so proud of you Jeremy, and just to prove my point that you don't have to be a nerd or geek to watch the whole video, Mary with commentary from me watched and enjoyed the whole video. We especially loved seeing you and Craig enjoying the super-advanced Amiga 500 you restored and improved beyond anything I ever imagined.
Thanks Dad for the compliments and thoughtful feedback! I'm glad you and Mary both liked it, and I had a feeling you might enjoy that part with Craig at the end! This was a fun project and a nice walk down memory lane. :)
Terrific! A great intro, a great use of Amiga original font, the colors, wow! What an amazing video! The future awaits more and more great contents from this channel! Go for it! Cheers, M
Thanks again Mark, very much appreciate it. These videos take a huge effort, so it helps to hear positive comments like this! I hope to continue producing future videos to the best of my abilities...
@@JeremyParkerMusic any kind word deserved and not given so easily. Really, a video so deeply well made, it stares upon many, from experienced youtubers in the Amiga scene. Really, that's my thinking of it. Please go on! Ciao
@@mark12358 thanks for your encouragement, and it's nice to hear that since I had been inspired by the other well-known RUclipsrs in the Amiga/retro scene.
As a european I instantly recognized you run your Amigas in 60Hz.. music and action in Giana Sisters is a bit faster than what I am used to :) Nice video.
I'm not sure, it was kind of news to me when I started the project. So far, I agree, it could be just permanently left off. So my mod wasn't really needed, but is still kinda neat I think; makes it easy to show the effect anyway...
The first item in my startup sequence was a program called no filter! I guess most people used tv speakers of low quality, but I was rigged to a massive hifi!
@@martingibbons2488 I sadly never had such software back in the day, but I like you had it hooked up to a hi-fi system. I already did this back in early 90s as a young kid and never looked back. Same thing when we got our first pc in mid 90s.
I have an Amiga 500 too. I love it and I appreciate very much your restoration and improvement on your beloved old computer. It deserves it!

I have 3 amiga500s...nice to see another of these wonderful machines rescued.
Wow, 3 of them! Thanks, it was great to bring this machine back, very nostalgic for me.
@@JeremyParkerMusic 3 at the moment..no doubt i will get some more..big nostalgia trip lol...got a commodore 64c as well lol
@@doctorsocrates4413 that's great!

Ah yes, that makes sense. I think a lot of the games I played as a kid were only made for the European market. Thank you!!
Another beautifully produced video. Glad you like your Amiga goodies! Will this be the last in the series?
Thank you so much Retro32, appreciate it! Oh yes, and I'll probably need some more soon :) Originally it was supposed to be, but maybe not!
Honestly does anyone ever prefer the audio filter on? I know it was on by default most of the times, but I think everything sounds better with it off.
