Indie Retro News commenters having an entirely normal one.

@didier I think it's from the 2010s originally.

derSammler,

Can someone explain to me why pretty much every boxed copy of Lotus 2 for the Amiga looks like someone drove over the box with a car? 😩

@derSammler didn't you know? That was mandatory for the copy protection to work 🤣

derSammler,

@dec_hl At least I got one very cheap. No idea if I can glue in enough cardboard to make the box flat and stable again.

stevewetherill,

This always makes me chuckle. Squeezing every possible inch out of the Amiga blitter meant that when blits were in progress, the 68000 got zero cycles. So, no need to blitwait, right? Well, that was not very future-proof, now was it? Extract from WHDLOAD release notes for my Amiga game Projectyle.

@TCD

Wow, I remember playing this one on arcade in the 80s. Great!

Rp12Biker,

Playing around with the different target platforms of pascal IDE. Todays first step was to build a native executable. OK, it's big in size, but it runs ok. Needs an additional installed. And don't forget to copy the created .fpcres file too. If you don't do it, you will be thrown with error messages.
Next try is OSX Tiger on G4 processor.

Reminder: the original Amiga computer, like the one seen here, is from 1985. Let that sink in a little.

RMC - The Cave:

"A new Amiga show in 2023? Madness surely? Today I take a trip to Nottingham to see what Kickstart is all about. We'll meet the usergroups, the traders and the man behind the idea, and we find out, is it any good?"

Spotted myself in this a couple of times :)

shred,

Quite some time ago, I asked you what I should restore next, and you voted for a that was showing no picture. This project was waiting in my to-do box for some months now, and I did a bit here and a bit there. Let's use this to (hopefully) fix this machine.

shred,

I calibrated the laser power at RFO now, using an old music CD. Vpp should be around 900 mV. This calibration is done at the pot of the laser pickup, and needs to be done while playing a CD, which is a bit tricky. Be very very careful with the pot. If you go too far, it will permanently damage the laser.

The original calibration was a bit too powerful, I could actually reduce it.

shred,

@dustinrue It's a Rigol DS1054.

pmullins,

Who else had an Amiga back in the late 80s and early 90s? I started with an Amiga 500. Good times.

@pmullins I have a few today :)

aperezdc,

For the folks who use Linux, I have just packaged the venerable AGReader, so one can preview Amiga Guide files without booting up your favorite hardware or an emulator. The package is in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/agreader
