I have a cutting edge gaming pc but I'm still jealous of you lucky suckers who had an Amiga when I had an apple 2c 😆

I like your videos

You need to get back into Amiga machine code and publish a primer on that. There are a couple of videos of people playing with Action Replay playing with machine code, but I want to see someone actually coding with it. Assembly on the Amiga is awesome, but I want to see machine code!

This is a top class Assembler. I've been using it for several years on my Amiga 500, 1200, and 4000D. It's so easy to install and get started with. Plus, it tells you how to convert from other Assemblers, which honestly aren't much different, since the instruction set doesn't change on the 680xx processors, just the grammar/syntax in the assembler.

C is just as low level as Assembly, so probably the reason this seems like the hard way is that you're unfamiliar with using C for low level programming and at the same time refusing to use the OS functions provided? ;)

Good luck on your Workbench adventures! I'm in sort of the same seat. I do recommend ClassicWB or MagicWB as it sets up some convenience methods and file association for you with included applications. If you have applications in sub-Drawers (folders) that you often start, you can put them on the main Workbench (desktop) with RMB > Icons > Leave Out. Then Snapshot the icon or Snapshot > All.

I used Devpac back in the day. I don't remember which version but I liked it a lot

Nano bad have a poor sound, I prefer 6581 .....8580 less distortions but I love distortions... :)

Nice video! I'm a complete noob and capturing video seems straightforward enough (Console > OSSC > HDMI > Monitor > Display Capture in OBS), but how does capturing audio work in OBS? If I hook the 3.5mm to my headphones, will it be picked up in OBS? Or do you have to connect it to the computer? Sorry if this is a silly question!

you got to hammer it to death smash the brick. you got to watch out for the super glue in the new power sups

Why? Because the graphics chip in the Amiga was designed by the same genius that designed the graphics chip for the Atari 8-bit line of computers. It should have been the Atari Amiga but thanks to Jack Tramiel (yeah, thanks a lot Jack) Commodore snatched it away. I ended up with an Atari ST with a monochrome monitor and it got me through 3 1/2 years of college, so I can't feel too bad on missing out on the Amiga.

It still is awesome

Was? WAS???

Looks nice but your claws are scary man when did you even cut those last. Can't watch so cringe.

Got an amiga 1000 in September 1985 ... played games at first, then made everything from images, printing, networking, creating video presentation ... upgrading to newer models along the way, from 85 to 94. These amigas were used in a musuem and tv broadcasting.

Thanks for the Video! Are the complete Manuals and the Disks preserved? Thank you very much indeed. ;-)

The Amiga was basically the next Gen Atari 800. It was created by a bunch of ex-Atari engineers and funded by Atari until... Commodore came along and swiped it up from underneath Atari. The Atari ST was basically the next Gen Commodore 64 after the owner of Commodore sold the company and bought Atari.

Simple, piracy and programming/demo scene. Lack of innovation usher it's demise. If you haven't experienced that era in full you absolutely can feel sad. So saved you 30 minutes.

Thanks so much for the link to the service manual provider. You've increased my chances of repairing the Yamaha VL70m tremendously.

Can I use OSSC on the PS1 and PS2?

"It's eight cycles per instruction buddy" That was so incredibly charged with snarc but in the geekiest way possible, I love it so much I want it on a t-shirt

Rodland sounds right? Really? Sounds completely wrong.

I remember coming into a computer shop demoing an Amiga 500 back in the days. I was so struck by the quality of the music playing out of the system that I looked behind the computer and tracked the audio leads out of it and into the monitor... I even plugged them out for a second as I was so convinced it was a trick and the sound was coming out of a tape player or something... It wasn't! A few months later, I got all my savings out of the bank and came back to buy one!

But how to disable the bubble-effect?

Amigas may have been awesome machines in their day (I wouldn't know, never had one) but Amiga users were insufferable.

The open system was the main reason for the Amiga’s success: there were 3 times as many games released on the Amiga as there were released on the NES. Unlike the NES, where half of its games were made in Japan, half of the Amiga’s games were made in the UK, with the United States second and large parts of the catalog coming from France, Germany, and Japan. There was just more talent from more countries writing games for the Amiga.

The Amiga was incredible for 1985, but the lack of proper updates really screwed it when the 90s rolled around. More sprite capabilities, more sound channels, more blitter features were needed, but it relied too much on fantastic programmers manipulating the out of date hardware to make it seem like it was more powerful than it actually was. Way more work for what other systems were doing by design at that time.

What a fantastic overview. Cheers Dave. A truly, truly stunning computer, light years ahead of it's time. Unfortunately, badly let down by poor management. Then again, the PC was catching up fast and 3rd party audio and GFX cards would make the PC's 'win' inevitable. Of course, the consoles applied a wee bit of pressure too. Still, it's legacy will live forever. I still have my A500 and A1200, but have taken the source code and assets from the software, including several games, that I wrote waay back then, and transferred them into VSCode. Adding the fantastic Amiga Assembly extension (+ UAE emulator), I now have a development system equally light years ahead of what I was using on the real Amiga (ASM-One). The only 'hard bit' is trying to read that old source code and remember exactly what the code is doing. Still, I now have the internet infinite library to help....info overload!

The Amiga truly amazed me as kid, no other computer since gave me that 'voodoo magic' feeling ever again. As time moved on I always kept using and upgrading Amiga's as a hobby to this day and brings me joy and can still be amazed how 'modern' it feels all those decades later. The buttery smooth multitasking OS that's simple but so elegantly designed and easy to manipulate via shell script and Arexx. As we speak my A1200 equipped with a PiStorm32 is playing internet radio while being connected to 5Ghz wifi and Paula in 14 bit mode still sounds good even by today's standards. It's amazing to see such an old computer being able to talk and take control of modern hardware, yes it still gives me that 'voodoo magic' feeling!

Really interesting look at the excellent assembler. For myself, I was well into using Asm-One (another excellent and popular assembler) waay back in the day.

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it. A very exciting time in computing.

A few tips for desoldering... It definitely helps to add flux, and sometimes to add fresh solder as well, so it mixes with the old solder. Also, even with the desoldering station (I have the same Duratool / Zhongdi station), it can help to hold the board vertically, or even tilt the board slightly towards the bench. That assists the desoldering gun, so it's not working against gravity. The original solder container on the Duratool were plastic. Mine eventually melted / imploded, when I left it on too long. lol They replaced those with glass containers, which are much better. One issue I had, is the nozzle/heater got blocked solid... I had to replace the whole nozzle assembly, twice. I learned to always clean the nozzle with the cleaning wire after each use, and leave the wire in the nozzle before turning the station off.

Wish I’d kept my original box of this. Really enjoyed using it. The manual and pocket reference were excellent. Back then you were also able to go onto Motorola’s website and order every single reference book for every one of their CPUs, FPUs and MMUs and they would just send them to you. For free.

It had a feeling. In a dark room my best mate, who owned an A500, put the disk in, and the sound (on a fairly good speaker) went on, then the animation started (f.e. Platoon). Goosebumps, man. Like a cinematic trailer. My next machine that could reach NEARLY the same effect, was an Xbox 360. But still, that wasn't unique. The Amiga was 'the one', like Neo in Matrix.

I was always afraid of using Amiga assembly language 😱... (and used blitz basic)... It's probably why i started assembly on C128 few months back... 😁

The Amiga was the first multimedia machine, before the concept really existed. If the internet had been available/affordable a few years earlier, or indeed if CD-ROM drives had hit the market just a few years earlier, then in both cases the Amiga would likely have been the best-placed machine to take advantage.

Amiga propaganda still lives strong today

did you have to change any OSSC settings to get it to work on your LCD? is your display a consumer tv or a computer monitor?
