Think all my disks are bad It fails to write on the odd track here and there
Appreciate the simplified explanation, thanks!
Just got mine today. Cant wait to relive my childhood memories having the A1200 as a child.
Thank you again! I couldn't have done it without you!
Thank you so much for this!
Amos tutorial, making a simple game?
hi, thanks for the tutorial. im trying to install this on an a500+ with an aca500plus expansion, with no luck. i have followed all the steps with the exception of using texteditor 68k not using opus but when i try to launch igame i get nothing at all. i tried to run it from shell and it tells me it cant open render.library v30 or greater even tho its in mui/libs folder. any help would be really appreciated.
excellent video, any idea how i get the covers working?
Amazing thanks.
I was confused as to why I wasn't able to switch disks only to find out that I wasn't using the launcher, thanks! Do you know if it's possible to use trackers in this?
This is such a fundamental omission from the base OS. It is epic fail to this day it is not included out of the gate - both LHA and these utilities
love this, i would be interested in a how to video on setting this up in Batocera V41 (through Retroarch) for the Pi5. Thanks again
Nobody does it this way ;-)
so i moved them with a jump drive. and put them like you said @ 7 mins in to the root E: etropie\BIOS on a jump drive hooked that back up let it copy. and did not work. seems i am being told i need to put it in to the retropis/BIOS/amiga. Do that and then re-install Amiberry. Does the +Start Amiberry link work and starts the emulator. so am trying that now.
Thanks, beautiful. The app has the option to import Amiga Forever Bios on the Mac. Think they support Mac now!
perfect tutorial, many thanks
perfect tutorial, many thanks
Been looking for a easy to understand Greaseweazle guide, thank you.
you can save all the typing and just drop the program on the right window and it will auto fill in where the program is.
Hi, I ve a problem with the final fight enhanced LHA homebrew of 2024, i have a black screen, i have a A500 mini with amiberry 5, please help me😢
when i try to register in fs-uae, i never receive an email. what can be the issue?
Open retro doesn't appear to be working. Any alternatives?
AmigaLIve is the king. It has a 24h Twitch channel community that anyone can play games on stream and that includes Multiplayer games. Amiga even has a C64 emu on the client people can play those games 2p too.
Thanks Amiga friend !
Looking forward to a new WinUae guide in 2025. I used your old guide and actually got Monkey Island 2 running :). I enjoyed your guide so much I bought a real Amiga 500 this year and I'm really enjoying using this.
Glad my guides helped. Monkey Island 2 is better in emulation. No disk swapping. Enjoy the Amiga 500 :-)
for the regular Amiga 500 using the Workbench 1.2, use the CLI and run df1:transrom >df1:kick.rom to dump the rom. I wasn't able to get into the Opus shell for some reason - at least not when using actual physical floppy disks.
Do you mean Directory Opus? If so, might be the version your using. Might not be compatible with Workbench 1.2
I’m really excited you’re back. I hope life is treating you better. Can’t wait to enjoy your content. Amiga Forever!!!😊
lha unknown command
you'll need to install lha then. I cover it in the first 3 parts of my WinUAE guide
i try to boot from usb but go ever in the Bios, any tip?
it doesn't work. UI did this some 20 years ago, and it worked, but I cannot figure out why this time it says 99.8% recognized, but in the emulator it doesn't do anything...
I'm not bale to find this version 2.5. I download the latest version available which is 2.6 and doesn't work.....gives me an error. Help needed please
The error appears on amiga a500 mini to be precise.....How can i get the version you show on the video?
Why can’t you use Amiga Forever on its own
Guess my comments with links and similar got deleted. The FTP info is wrong. You do NOT need to register your own account for downloading. Its only for uploading. Use the anonymous user "ftp" with any password.
The A500 was my first computer. Got it back in 1989 when I was stationed at Kunsan AFB, Korea. Good times. They should have put the Cinemaware games on it. Also Phantasie 3.
Well it did not work for me unfortunately, it says Amiberry is not installed during HstWB installer for Raspbery Pi, but it is installed :/
Looks like there is an issue with the latest version of Amiberry and SDL2. I had the same issue and tried to manually compile Amiberry from this installation and it fails on something to do with libsdl2-ttf-dev. If you run the installation again then when it gets to the Amiberry installation, don't select latest version. Choose a version and install 5.6.1 which is the version mentioned in this video, it then works. Newer versions may work OK but this one definitely does.
Since about 2020 I have been desperately trying to get into Amiga. I love my 64 and 128, but ended up skipping on Amiga as my dad went the PC route with a 386sx-16 as the machine after the 64C. My struggle is that I have no idea what to DO with the machine. I've done the emulation and have my MiSTer setup with Amiga "emulation", but I haven't found "purpose" yet. I think my problem is specifically that I wasn't in that arena when they were popular so I don't have any knowledge base about them. I don't have any ties to them, but, I want to try and understand what WOULD bring me into that ecosystem. I know a couple people who would sell their machines, but, I'm not interested in the price tag until I'm quite confident that I'm going to use it for the prices that they're asking (Which are absolutely fair prices, since I know them personally and it's not an ebay scam)
You raise some good questions for when nostalgia isn't the driving force. I think you should have a go just exploring Workbench operating system. But thinking about what passions and hobbies do you enjoy. Are you a creative person, if so Deluxe Paint, Personal Paint and maybe eventually 3D rendering programs would be something to look at. If your a musician you might be interested in tracker music like OctaMED. The thing with modern day computing. The journey is shorter and quicker to get to your result than it will be with an Amiga. But if you keep at it and spend time on it you can find that different way Amiga does things than modern PC's. Hope you enjoy the journey. :-)
Loved my a500 mini got me back into the Amiga.. I recently upgraded my setup to a mister pi running Amigavision it’s fantastic
Not played with Amigavision yet will have to check it out.
Hi Mikey - trying to set up Fsuae on a HP Probook - got as far as putting the install int disk 0 (About 11 mins into the vid) , you then say Ctrl Amiga Amiga to load it - which keys are you pressing on the keyboard as i cannot get it to load ? (ex windows laptop running ubuntu)
Hi. So it uses a regular Xbox controller? I guess any Xbox controller?
Yes, as long as your modern PC can use it then the emulator will use it too.
My older brother owned one, so I played the games but never owned one. So I’m somewhere between a cool spot and a superfrog. :-)
Great video, it helped me setup workbench plus extras, but I have a problem. I set up for a 4BG file on fs-uae as I bought a brand new 4GB card, but I cannot install the image as it says I need 4.3GB of space, but I'm confused as to why. My created HFD file actually reads as 4.29GB on my Mac, not 4GB as I setup for. I really don't want to do it all over again, so do you know of any solutions for this ?
Same here!
I still write in Superbase. Contact me if you are in the same code :)
Haven't recap my A1200 yet, so I have been rocking the A500mini since launch and am very much looking forward to the Amiga maxi releasing next year 🤘🏻
That's cool you have the advanced Amiga. I have the standard one
@RichPT I started with c64 then A500 then I upgraded to The A1200 when that came out 🤘🏻
You presented perfect instruction. Thx
I'm using an A500 Mini with AGS and it's fantastic
Cooll!!😊
Nice to see you are coming back All the best, stay strong and keep it up!
Great to see you back with a new video. I hope the personal issues are resolved. All the best for the holidays and new year.
Can’t to see new Amiga content from you.
Hey! Good to see you again! Love your videos, I felt like you had a bit of a break in doing them? In any case - great to see new video from you mate!
