    Hey, good to see some A500Mini love, mine's been sat up on top of the wardrobe doing nil. Now a reason to unbox it again. Thanks to all involved in this project, excellent work and VERY appreciated. And yet again a big smile at the music, nice one Tim. And of course the irony of the A500 playing ST games :)

    • @TeamPandory
      @TeamPandory  8 місяців тому

      Yeah. We're definitely team Amiga, but there's no reason to hate the st. That system can do other things, like work as a paper weight, door stop... I kid I kid 😂 - Seriously, mentioned many times that Supercars 1 plays better on the ST

      @@TeamPandory No hate from me, I go where the good games are. I've never been one to be a fan boy, my console collection shows this. I just remember back in the day the often bitter rivalry between the ST and Amiga camps, just as it was with the Atari and C64 camps. I owned both, played both with a big smile :)

    Thank for this! Couple notes after fiddling around, i miss the "load content" option, can't say why its removed but its a pain. I never scan stuff since it's buggy, just want to load sth and tell it which core to use. This got me scratching my head as to how I could load anything... Got around that by using the launchers, which is nice but still. Otherwise, played some speccy, scummvm, mame, all works fine. Off to put that vice emulator and try some C64!

    • @TeamPandory
      @TeamPandory  8 місяців тому +1

      We usually use the "manual add", but we can add the load content if you prefer using it.

    • @rhcplivetrade
      @rhcplivetrade 8 місяців тому

      In Retroarch, go to Stettings > User Interface > Menu Visibility (or something in the line) and toggle on load core and load content. You can also toggle stuff that you don't want to see, like I toogled off Netplay.

    I had no idea the A500 mini was so powerful. I mean sure I ran Atari ST emulation on my phone back in 2002 or something, but damn!
    So you can also play like Darklight Conflict (DOS) NFS, Wing Commander 5 etc on it, DOS versions I mean. I have yet to unbox my A500 Mini though...
    Regardless thanks for the video.
    Wait, did you make it? (the software)

      You can get MSDOS running on the A500 mini, but the accelerated versions (Doom, Quake etc) are ports, so we get to essentially run it natively rather than need to emulate the system completely.
      But yes, we managed to hack the A500 Mini over a year ago, that's why its name of this is "Pandory500" :-)
