There is a nice #A500#Amiga main board replacement project running which is #OpenSource have a look at it, esp if you are still running you Amiga software on the metal
TLF and I did several cosplay photo shoots during our trip to AmiCamp in Athens. This is one of the results. Except for the gun prop, I put this costume together more than 15 months ago already, so I’m very happy to finally have presentable pictures of it.
Genderbend Lester costume from Another World made and worn by me, photography by TLF, editing by us both.
@nivrig@retrotechtive It was a bug due to the game's memory clear routine being skipped, leading to the initial state being garbled. I didn't specifically look at what in the state makes the game slow down - my guess is some frame timing variable.
Why do people continue to talk about the “future of Amiga”? Like <insert random product here> is the future of Amiga. Would they also say something like the “C64OS is the future of C64”? Or ZX Spectrum Next is the future of ZX Spectrum?
So I had this PiStorm that I bought last year at 68k Inside in Finland 🇫🇮, if my memory serves, but I never built it up, because I did not feel like permanently putting a PiStorm in any of my OCS machines.
But watching @root42 videos is a bad, bad influence, when it comes to a spending spree, so now I bought a Lazarustorm. Still waiting for the Pi 3 A+ and a few other bits...
New video: PSU Battle: Commodore vs Electroware
The original power supplies of our Commodore home computers are now at least 30 years old. Many need maintenance, some got lost or are defective. There are modern replacements. Are they better or worse than the old supplies? In this video we will compare my original Amiga 500 supply to a modern Mean Well based PSU by Electroware. We will mostly compare the ripple that both PSUs produce. https://youtu.be/GgHCCX-VIIs #commodore#amiga#retrocomputing
@root42
The high 5v rail is interesting. Mains voltage shouldn't affect the output of a regulated switching power supply and that's out of spec for the datasheet.
I wonder if they adjusted it up expecting a bigger voltage drop across the long cable under load?
@abortretryfail probably. The Electroware PSU has the advantage that it has a small pot on the underside with which you can tweak the 5V rail. The Commodore has nothing of that sort.
