I loved Settlers on the Amiga, nice memories.

Great monitor stand you got there. Have you built it yourself?

Beautiful looking game. Was always a shame we never got Settlers 2, will have to give this a go.

Cheers, what beer are you drinking?

It's a great game... those were the days. And thanks for mentioning this game. I didn't know about it.

Before I comment anything I would like to congratulate you on your perfect spoken English and also for such an informative vid. I have a pi400 and a very old Amiga 500+, which needs recapped. But I hope to emaulate the Amiga via the Pi400 which has been proven to be a good way to do so. I have used the Pi400 for many things and it proves that you do not need a powerful PC for Internet use and other general daily tasks. I have a myriad of PCs, but the pi400 still has its uses. Thanks again.

That video was very helpfull. I really like it! Tank you very much! Cheers!

I do approve Pi 400 with Pimiga and with AGS 2 launcher, not sure about anything else though

Thanks! I've just become subscriber 900 of your channel.

For me Amiga Forever and a decent laptop done... works great and there are cheap laptops everywhere that will do a great job.

Another great video Proteque. I found it interesting. So what happened at the end of the vid ? Don't leave us hanging......have you encountered a new keyboard issue ? Or did it fix itself after a reboot ? Keep up the great work on your Amiga vids !

Interesting case, very clever. Also clever putting a Gotek in the external case 🤝🥇 Ooohhh is that a custom Serotina keyboard?

Should probably remove the beer when shaking the desk :D

Great video. Your PC has me intrigued, what spec PC are you using?

Thanks for this but I could not get it to work on WB 3.2.2.1. When I added the icon.library in Startup-Sequence it would not boot WB and prompt that it was already running. I remove the line from Startup-Sequence but no improvement in Chip RAM. 😩

amiga 500 are impossible to break... why emulate something impossle to brake ;)

cool stuff! Thankfully the latest Amiga OS3.2 is the most stable one I’ve ever used

It's been out for a few years now. I wish they'd release a v2 with a more powerful SBC and an up to date version of VICE, also a way to swap SID to 8580, and all the VICE pallets. I really prefer emulation of games through my PC but playing with Basic and going through those old manuals I really need the keyboard layout and PETSCII labels.

@Proteque-CBN - Thanks for sharing your thoughts and views on this subject, Having played with PiMiga 4 on the CM4 ([email protected]), the RPI 400 ( [email protected]) and the RPi5( [email protected]) there are very notable differences between the models. Firstly as you predicted the RPi5 is pretty much flawless, the RPi400 is quite impressive, as you mentioned there are sometimes little glitches ( not a deal breaker I may add ) - the CM4 however does have more pronounced issues and crashes. I will say, that prior to the RPi5 the Pi400 really impressed me and certainly gives you those **feels** and up to that point was the best ARM based EMU experience. However, all really benefit from booting from USB 3.0 - the uSD card really causes some noticeable stuttering at times during the emulation. the RPi 5 doesn't seem hindered by this, however that has an offloading IO chip ( acting as an old school PC south bridge ) There is this thin line between Emulation and Synthesis - the latter being FPGA based approach, however there is an enigma that I am sure you have heard of and that is the PiStorm. With a modest investment of OCS/ECS hardware and a PiStorm + RPI Z2W or RPI 3A+ ( or higher ) you can get quite the experience - ranging from just a VERY FAST CPU and Memory Emulation - to RTG emulation on the host system. I have this setup on a rescued / repaired A600 and its spanks even my fastest 060@100Mhz + 128MB RAM A4000 with CybergraphX Admittedly the A4k could AGA its way where the A600 in its configuration cannot. And while there exists a PiStorm adaptor board for the Amiga A1200 (PiStorm 32) there is still the slow-chip-memory transfers that hamper some AGA games / productivity, causing artefacts and corrupted screen graphics. Should you get to revisit this subject, an interesting line of thought would be to see what a low-cost PiStorm for an OCS / ECS based machine offers for the prices point versus a cheap x86 pc implementation. both in terms of setting up / working with and finally playing / using. Really enjoyed your video, i look forward to more. Z.

this video just earned you a follow. 👍

jag vill att du ska gnugga mina svenska köttbullar över ditt ansikte. kan vi vara speciella vänner?

That was really interesting. Yep I’m an ST guy but I genuinely enjoyed this. Good to see the evolution! 👍🏻

thanks for sharing, what keyboard is that you are using at 2mins? Very nice!

Great video. Love the fact that you came back to an issue that you experienced on a previous video, and then provided the fix. Fantastic work

Cool tutorial could you make one for a more modern Amiga OS like 4.1

Amiga and it's OS is probably the closest thing I will ever come to a religion. What is seldom talked about is the fact that exec.library was in fact more or less a decent microkernel with a lot of Unix concepts. We had preemptive multitasking, a fully featured GUI, pipes, device handlers etc... all in a little 256KB ROM while the others barely could do cooperative multitasking. The Amiga operating system was truly unique and impressive for it's time. It's downfall was in my opinion the lack of memory protection e.g. the requirement for a MMU. Yes, AmigaOS could run fine with a MMU, but it did not make use of it internally which was a nail in the coffin when programs got larger and memory requirements grew. I am ashamed of myself for having used Windows from about 2000 until 2013, but in 2006 I started using Debian out of necessity and these days (November 2013 - May 2024 and beyond) I am all on Debian GNU/Linux which actually do have a lot of the Amiga spirit in it. Switching to Debian full time is the best thing I ever did as it made computing fun and useful again , just like it was (and should be) on the Amiga. Come to the penguin side :)

I need to get my plipbox working, gonna watch your first video to see where I went wrong.

My friend just got some Ivory bone color PLA so I am going to probably get that Amiga wedge case computer going. Still deciding on a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB or a Beelink Mini PC. Keep up your vids my dude!

Dope fix dude. Sweet video as always.

WiFI on PiStorm is clooooose, so you can scrap your plipbox real soon.

Very nice fix. This could be added in in a new revision as a simple jumper header on the PCB.

Very useful, thank you

What about MorphOS, Aros, ArosX86 or the OS3x custom Distros as Amikit, Pimiga, CoffinOS, etc?

I would like to bring here my memories about the operating system, but I believe that correctly version 3.1.4 and 3.2 are the natural evolution of the 3.1 operating system because they are linked to an update of the kickstart. Versions 3.5, 3.9 were "updates" of the Workbench carried out by Haage and Partner for the 68k followed then by 4.0 and 4.1 by Hyperion for the PPC. But these were mixtures of the Workbench with the addition of third-party programs that were included but still ran on Kickstart 3.1. Instead, with the new Kickstart 3.1.4, the respective updates of the original Workbench 3.1 to 3.1.2 and 3.2 followed. In my opinion, those versions (3.5, 3.9, and 4) should never have been released because they created a lot of doubts within the Amiga community. Thanks

1:53 if I think this really doesn't matter that much. And I'll say why. NextStep uses X11 so every keystroke can be recorded by any application, so how much does it really change if you had to type a password or not. So if someone can go up to your computer, install an app and run it, they can steal the su/root password. You were unlikely to be connected to the internet(well tbf NextStep had a web browser). In a `not so bad` scenario people would have just used it in a LAN setting, where it would be perfectly reasonable to expect that only you or your trusted work colleagues have access to the 2/X machines. (well here I probably think of the creation of DOOM lol). With a LAN-only connected computer a login as root requires the attacker to be near the machine(disregarding whether nextStep has any remote code execution vulnerabilities rn). At that point the attacker could take out the hard drive out of the computer, modify the /etc/shadow file to change the password. He could just copy files over, maybe he could just boot into anything else that would let it read the contents of the drive. But as a de-facto single-user machine(even if the OS runs in multi-user session mode), does it really matter all that much? It would be too bothersome to infect the machine in a way that writes some relevant data onto a CD/FloppyDrive so that another machine could then be infected and hopefully transmit the data to the C&C.

AMIGAAA1111!!!

That looks like Chris in the background, bringing Amigas back to life.

It’s not as some say, it IS Mac OS ten!

Actually a very big part of retro feeling is the look and feel of the periphicals - mouse, keyboard, monitor, diskdrive, joystick. As I had A2000 and A4000 back in the days, the main unit was on the side or even under the table often. Of course with fading memory about the not so nice things, I do not want the ballmouse or a smal crt anymore. But my A2000 keyboard was the cherry type (A2000 Braunschweig edition), so working quite well. You can even change the stems of the switches to cherry brown or blue (reversible modification) if you like the more clicky feeling. I prefer Cherry keyboards since back in the days. Also the new tank mouse is a great input device. Alternativly I have an original Amiga mouse converted to optical. For monitor I use an 5:4 older LCD. For nearly all periperie you can get adapters, ready2use or diy. Nowerdays you can find a lot of stl for Amiga cases online, so you might print your own case. One interesting hardware for emulation might be the Framework Laptop core unit. They come between 330 up to >1000€ (plus RAM and storage). If you are not a windows gamer, the most cheap core unit should be more than fine. Also if you have a Framework laptop and upgrade the core after a few years, you might reuse the old core for an emulator. However, being a laptop component, it is quite smal. So you could place it in any Amiga case - even the A600. Creating a quite powerful all in one maschine with quite nice Amiga feeling. Powerfull enough to use as a normal PC (as this is the intended use for the core anyways) but also as an emulator. The reason I prefer modern PC as a basis for emulation is quite simple: Any seperate Amiga / Amiga emulation mostly collects dust. Using the Amiga keyboard / Mouse on a dayly basis, even when using windows, is more fun...

Awww, had the hopes the Joystick would be for sale ^^ Thank you for "reviving" your channel! Added videos to my watchlist!

I really love your intense approach to topics!

Great video, i was looking at getting an A1200 to run Octamed 4 for music production but thinking that emulation maybe better, which route do you think would be best to achieve the most authentic experience?

Does your phone have an Amiga (launcher) look too?

Great, man. But the big problem with this method is that each program that you convert into an HDF file takes up around 100 megabytes.

Amazing.

would you have a video on puting your computer booting straight to amiga?

Great stuff dude, I downloaded Amigalive on PC, its great and easy to use as well mate. But I just got my Amiga 500 fixed after 20 yrs in the loft, and I'm loving it all over again😍 😊 Liked and subbed👍

Had a copy of NeXTstep/Openstep for PC back in the day. Still think it’s the best GUI for Unix so far - even with its idiosyncrasies. The weird mouse acceleration took a heck of a lot of getting used to (especially when flipping between systems). I quite liked the floating menus - although being able to 'tear off' the submenus and place them independently around the screen was something I didn’t use much. Perhaps today with our widescreen monitors, a NeXT-style menu and the dock to the side would make more sense than wasting precious vertical screen space on menu bars and horizontal docks. There are certainly 'oddities' that still lurk (at least on my aging Intel Mac)… like the ubiquitous 'services' menu to allow you to feed highlighted data from one app into another. I’m fairly sure I’ve seen interviews with Dave Haynie hinting that Commodore engineers liked the NeXT GUI look&feel enough for it to rather influence some of the look of later versions of Amiga OS, so perhaps it’s fitting that NeXT had a version of the bouncing ball too.

Awesome concept for and truly custom. Nice job!

I sure love Mac OS SEX.
