  1. Today, I received my #RGBtoHDMI for my #Amiga500 and the first thing I did after initial test was installing the audio board.
    I had two options, #soldering it to the RGBtoHDMI, floating in the air, or at the back of the #RaspberryPiZero. I decided to try the first. Luckily there was enough clearance underneath to not touch any components. I did bend the legs of the capacitors a bit first.
    The image is a lot clearer now, I'm satisfied.

  6. RPROM: 7-fold Kickstart switch now available in store

    RPROM, developed by Niklas Ekström and Per Bengtsson, is a ROM emulator for the Amiga 500, 600 and 2000 models based on the RP2350B microcontroller. For those who don’t want to solder it themselves, RPROM is now also available as a ready-made product at the title link.

  8. 🕹️ Tandy 1000 EX vs Amiga 500
    👉 Le Tandy : “Regarde, je fais tourner King’s Quest sans planter 😎”
    👉 L’Amiga : “Ok… mais moi j’ai la musique, les couleurs et la démo party 🎶✨”
    Deux légendes, deux vibes, même nostalgie (ou presque) ❤️

  9. Man, I wish
    I could go back in time and tell my younger self it is possible to play the exact roms as in the arcades on my #Amiga500. Not inferior ports and downsized games due to diskspace, but pixel perfect original #Neogeo games like #DoubleDragon....it would have blown my mind and I would not have believed me. #Retro #emulation #arcade #coinop Next buy: a 9 pin joystick with at least 2 separate action buttons, more also okay.

  10. Another update for my Amiga 500! This time it's an RGBtoHDMI board that uses a Raspberry Pi Zero to grab the video signal off the Denise chip and converts it to HDMI output. The video is SO clean!
