By the way - just in case you're into that stuff: I just uploaded a few more Amiga games to the Internet Archive! Have fun!

Sometimes, it's actually not that easy to determine the exact age of an Amiga diskette, because they often didn't even bring a file system. For the game "Desert Strike", luckily, I could just find some information in the disk's root track. So, this one was formatted on October 8th, 1992. I was ten years old at that time. Oh, boy...

Just updated my virtual Amiga to the latest Beta 32 (RC2) of WinUAE 6.0.0. It looks really good and runs smoothly with Amiga OS 3.2.3 and WHDLoad 19.1. Fun times! :blobcat_owo:

White on blue or blue on white? - Which one is the better floppy diskette for "Oh No! More Lemmings"? I honestly can't tell. Each of them is working perfectly on a virtual Amiga A500! Anyway, I'll let you decide, because I just kryoflux'ed and scanned them both and uploaded everything to the Internet Archive!

So on this lazy sunday afternoon I felt like checking out a few more exotic Amiga models in the WinUAE emulator. I had picked an A3000 with ROM v1.4. ... configured it... and it worked... up to a point. Because it asks for a so-called "Super-Kickstart Disk". And this is where it started to get annoying!
I am usually not too stupid... and I am not an Internet newbie, either. But today it literally took me "hours" to find this simple file called "superkickstart-204-a3000.adf". I eventually found it, and it works. But, why is this so hard? Amiga and all of its ecosystem is pretty much gone since 1994! Stuff like this should not be hiddden or hard to find! Okay, on second thought: Maybe I really AM just stupid.
Sorry for the rant. - Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😉

The Amiga version of "The Humans" is kind of adorable. ^^

Out of curiosity, I just installed the latest public beta 31 (RC1) of WinUAE 6.0.0. The new version seems to bring lots of changes and improvements under the hood, but from my point of view it still looks and feels very familiar, which is a good thing!
I dropped the new "winuae64.exe" right into my old WinUAE 5.3.1 folder. My installed Amiga OS 3.2.3 is still working fine, including RTG high-res graphics, WHDLoad 19.1 and MT-32 emulation. I just randomly started a few games from WHDLoad and directly from floppies and so far... everything just worked.
I'm really looking forward to the final release! 😃

Using multiple simultaneous WinUAE sessions to watch out for differences between multiple sets of Amiga disk images. It sure looks a bit weird and sounds even weirder, but hey - it works!

Out of all the Amiga tools out there, for me, the most useful of them all, is - without a doubt - DirectoryOpus v4.16. I would not survive without it!

Jurassic Park AGA isn't overly polite, but at least you know without a doubt what you're doing wrong. I like it!

Well, considering this is my very first physical Amiga diskette with a full-on copy protection, everything went way better than expected. Easy peasy!
I managed to extract a perfect KryoFlux stream from the protected disk and its copy protection tracks! Also, the resulting "CT RAW" disk image plays perfectly fine in the latest WinUAE Amiga emulator. Great success! 😜
Have fun:

Playing around with some copy protected Amiga disks tonight. Just tried to convert a few IPFs to unprotected disk image files (ADF). Looks like the virtual A500 ran into some issues. Oh, well... it doesn't always work.
Also, besides #RetroGaming, I am excited to watch the #SpaceX video stream.. and I'm having some fresh pizza. At 1:25am. Gotta go to work in a few hours. Fun times! 😜
Playing the Amiga version of "Leisure Suit Larry" tonight. Some of these questions at the begining are a bit too specific for me, even though I am way above 18 years of age. Well, I guess 1987 was a long time ago... and back then I actually was a kid. 😉

I just added several SimCity Architecture packs to the Internet Archive. Original Amiga and PC versions. Loads of fun from 1990/91!

Okay, THAT was annoying... seriously! This afternoon, I had received a fresh set of SimCity Graphics disks for the Amiga. "Ancient Cities" and "Future Cities". They looked and read okay, but - whatever I tried - I could NOT get them to work in WinUAE. I felt so stupid. Only after several hours I realized these disks were not compatible with SimCity 1.2, at all! These were the SimCity Graphics for SimCity512K! After that revelation... yes, of course, it worked!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrmppppffff ........ 😉

This evening, I just finished setting up the new Windows 11 installation... meaning I could finally install the emulators. 😉

. @Das_blaue_Pony Yes! These AMIGA arcade conversions from jotd666 are awesome! Right now, I am looking at "Elevator Action" and an A1200 AGA port of Atari's "TETRIS"!
Check out his entire catalogue!

#Amiga emulation under #Linux is a very BIG delusion.
FS-UAE is not #WINUAE.
Manage of ADF is a crap after start of a session.
Keyboard mapping not work, many keys are unfunctional.
Many bug of sound.
FS-UAE documentation is a caos.
Same laptop with #Windows10 has no issue with #winuae
Very big delusion.
When you want to play the original Space Quest from 1986, nothing beats the Amiga version and the experience of the Workbench interface. You can even play with a mouse! I'm loving this so much!
