This week on 10MARC I am unboxing and reviewing the new "Rogue Declan" game for the Amiga CD32! Join me as we check out the neat goodies in the box, and play with the new game modes! @nivrig did a great job.

My new PC. Beelink SER5, Ryzen 5560.

16gb Crucial memory and an Intel wifi/bt module underneath the m2(which is unbranded). There is also a 2.5 SSD mount in the case.

Fan is very quiet in normal use, but whines a little when gaming. The speeds are controlled in BIOS.
The systems using around 10-15w desktop and 25-35w gaming.

It shipped with a reasonably clean Win11 install, but I have wiped the drive and installed Debian12.5 in Efi mode. All hardware correctly detected.

@glc I have a similar mini PC but with a Ryzen 9 7940HS and Radeon 780M Graphics. I love telling my son's and their friends that it is as fast or faster than their $2500 giant towers with stupid LED lights, and only cost about $700.

I’ve got my Amiga 1000 setup today with something special. This is the Frame Grabber from Progressive Peripherals and Software (PP&S) and it’s a video frame digitizer that connects to the Amiga over the parallel port. It can create images up to 640x480 in 4096 colors, which was a big deal in 1990.

Picture of the frame grabber, a small black box with three knobs for intensity, hue, and saturation and an RCA input labeled NTSC. A green cable is plugged into it.

@paulrickards are you the guy who has some kind of instructions on making the power adapter for the Frame buffer 256 online? I remember seeing something about it last year. Mine came without a power supply and I have it on my huge "to do" list to get one working

Got the Rogue Declan CD extra content finalised, and then got a message that the remastered audio is being uploaded. Gonna burn a test master tomorrow :)

Is there anything to be said for more ham?

10MARC,
@10MARC@mastodon.social avatar

@nivrig well... Even though HAM8 on the AGA Amiga's is much more colorful, the HAM6 on the OCS/ECS Amiga's has a certain charm...
Oh...wait... You mean the other HAM...

Progress on my new CD32! By cranking up the laser power a smidge, she went from only reading a few Audio discs to reading all of them, and booting CDTV titles! Next up - test burned discs!

Huh. I guess I just bought a CD32... I sent the guy an offer and next I looked it was marked as "Sold" - never got a response back. Went about my business and then noticed money withdrawn from my account! Apparently he agreed to the price and I was not notified! 🤣🤣
It's a PAL unit, it boots but he tried an audio CD and got no response. He had no CD32 disks to test. Hopefully it is a simple fix. Time to upgrade the daylights out of this girl!

Taking my Pet 8032 in for service today. Oil change, Keyboard Cleaning, wash and wax... Gotta keep up on maintenance if I want this to go another 400,000 miles or 40 years!

Only 5 keys work reliably on my new 800. Q,X,Z,P and O.
The only word I can reliably spell is "POOP".
I take my wins where I can get them.

    @TheByteAttic I have had a feeling this project would fall flat on its face for years now. I swear the only people talking about it were his (8 bit guys) fans. Nobody else in the community seemed to care about it at all.

    Who knew my 600 could run the latest Davinci Resolve on dual screens? Thank goodness I have the second 800K floppy to store all those MP4 files!

    I have a flipping Ryzen 9 sifting two feet away from me with Starfield on it... But yet tonight I played an hour or so of "Star Raiders" on my 1979 400 instead. Is there something wrong with me??

    Brian Carpignano at AmiWest has a Pre Alpha version of Amiga OS 3.3 being demoed. Being the sneaky lad I am I wanted to see the list of new features. Here is what I found. 🤣🤣🤣

    Revenge has been taken on me by my friend Chris at AmiWest this year. I walked back to my booth and found this... Last year I had created the "Atari Storage Unit" sign on a trash can next to his Atari Falcon.
    Revenge will be mine next year!

    Anyone able to test Rogue Declan ADF version specifically on an A630 accelerator? I have one (1) report of it crashing on the menu on an A630.

    Get the ADF free here: https://nivrig.itch.io/rogue-declan-zero

    10MARC,
    @10MARC@mastodon.social avatar

    @nivrig the guy reporting the crashing must be a total nutroll... Oh wait! That's me!
    PAL machine with a GoTek, A630 and an RGB2HDMI. Tried with a real floppy, too. Other games (including Turbo Tomato) boot and work 100%. Strangely the WHDLOAD version of 1.01 (the original) works. Only booting from floppy fails
