Fascinating interview with Dylan Cuthbert, how playing Carrier Command on Amiga led to his interest in 3D graphics, how the failed Konix Multisystem console led to the SuperFX chip powering Star Fox on the Super Nintendo: overcast.fm/+ABOHjCf35FY

How the 2025 port of OutRun for the Amiga fixes bugs in the arcade original (see also the port of Rod•Land arcade!): www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_QP...

I made 27 gifs (from scratch!) of video game characters dying like Mario does to discuss the origin of this peculiar bit of pixel animation. Enjoy!

So according to FPGAzumSpass (MiSTer N64 core author), this console will indeed output 4K@60. So that makes it probably the cheapest 4K scaler on the market in addition to being an open platform (again, theoretically, we’ll see what happens). Very interesting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G6V...

The Phillips CDi Core on MiSTer FPGA is absolutely insane. @2unlimited.bsky.social is the only interactive CD you need.

Proper Amiga demo scene vibes (of course because Lizardking came from the Amiga scene) — excited to have the ability to run classic DOS demo scene productions on the ao486 MiSTer core! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-x9...

If you’re a fan of DOS gaming (and demo scene!), help test the experimental Gravis Ultrasound support in the ao486 core! misterfpga.org/viewtopic.ph...

A very good love letter to one of the greatest games ever — Sid Meier’s “Pirates!” — of course we recommend the AmigaVision version (standard or Gold editions), but the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis version is solid as well. And, the Xbox version is intriguing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWXc...

3DO coming to MiSTer! (many Amiga people involved in that console) 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Kj...

Absolutely get this! And then play it on your MiSTer on a real CRT 😄

MiSTer + Zaparoo + voice control with recommendations across your specific games library? Hell yeah 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHLd...

Experimenting with another new platform for AmigaVision 😄

If you played Flashback on the Amiga and loved it — you should check out the port of Flashback to the Sega Saturn! High-resolution graphics taken from the Mac port, CD soundtrack, digitized voices, save-anywhere — check it out on MiSTer FPGA or emulator: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/10/06/v...

The best SD cards to use with your MiSTer FPGA, Raspberry Pi or handheld emulation setups are… (spoiler, optimize for reliability, speed is irrelevant): misterfpga.org/viewtopic.ph...

Oh, and if you never noticed that the Ferrari logo flips when you turn in the other direction, I’m sorry / you’re welcome. You’ll never be able to not notice it from here on 😄

A great, nerdy overview of parts of what it took to make a modern OutRun port on the Amiga — next version of AmigaVision will make sure to enable the new Akiko (chunky-to-planar) support to improve performance further! www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-QA...

Quick little tutorial on how to get the AmigaVision CD32 Setup installed!

Behold the glory of what it takes to create 1280 custom configuration files, 11 custom HDF files and 69 (nice) 5×PAL overscale presets, so you can play Amiga CD32 on your MiSTer 😄 github.com/amigavision/...

The @amiga.vision team made #Amiga that much better on #MiSTerFPGA with the CD32 setup pack! No more mouse and keyboard, just pick a game and start playing youtu.be/iHM-qMGV2VE #gaming #gamingnews #gaming_news

As is tradition, the day after a release, we found an even better way to launch the remaining games that needed mouse emulation. This is no longer necessary, you can now launch all games directly from the MiSTer menu. Those responsible have been sacked. All documentation and files have been updated.

The highlight here is that most games can be launched without mouse/keyboard. For some of the games that just need the mouse for the initial launch step, we implemented a mouse emulator that you can operate from a gamepad or joystick.

AmigaVision CD³² Setup for MiSTer 2025.10.03 Released: amiga.vision/cd32-2025.10...

Making an Amiga demo without the CPU? Heck yeah: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXT5...

Is anyone out there running AmigaVision 2025.05.05 on real Amiga hardware at the moment? Trying to help a streamer/YouTube creator to get it set up, and he’s having issues. AmigaVision should always work on real hardware (and has in the past!), so I’m trying to figure out if there’s a regression.

One of the best to do it, @gst.melosylexia.com profiles (and arranges, as probably the first to do so!) musician Yoko Wada, a criminally underrated and unknown Master System / Game Gear composer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C1J...

So who else had crazy from-the-future setups in 1989? I was a total bad-ass at the time & rocked the Amiga 500 1.8MB memory expansion that required connecting a wire to the correct chip, and used RAD: drive capability to boot at SSD speeds in 1998. Everything was in a RAM drive, I didn’t need an HD.

People forget that the Amiga was $/£299-$/£399 when PCs were $/£1000+, for a while it was the death of the affordable personal computer scene when Commodore went bankrupt.

Gotta love how Raspberry Pi keeps referencing Amiga naming schemes and make a wedge shaped computer — the founder of Raspberry Pi said he started the whole project because he missed his Amiga: www.raspberrypi.com/products/ras...

OK, we have a first version ready. If you are using a network drive with your MiSTer and have the CD32 CHD collection, drop me a DM with Discord username (the @thing, not the old Thing#1234) or email to help test. I don’t use network drives, so need someone to validate that the approach works.

Working on improved CD32 launching on MiSTer — and need your help if you are using your MiSTer with a network drive instead of SD/USB. What is the path to the network drive on the MiSTer side for you? E.g. SD uses fat/games/, USB uses usb0/games — what is the NAS equivalent?

Another sister project added to the sites! Check out oneload64.github.io for the simplest, fastest Commodore 64 setup available! No more computer-specific knowledge required to run this as a MiSTer core or in an emulator — or with a flash cart on real C64 hardware!

How Commodore and Amiga made Peter Molyneux: www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1jw...

Absolute legend. One of the best composers of our time. Rest in peace.

This chart always blows my mind. Everyone remembers Monkey Island, SimCity, Prince of Persia. But when was the last time a retro game video talked seriously about Populous?

One of the best to ever do it — GST treats us to arranged soundtracks from the SEGA Master System & Game Gear era with the appropriate gear: Korg M1, Roland JV-1080 & Sound Canvas SC-88. Extremely excited for the next episodes, where they are doing PC Engine soundtracks — so many good tunes!

Today in bee shooter news — one of the best games on the Amiga gets a respectful remake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHiF...

Can the iconic soundtrack for Commando on the Commodore 64 be ported to the arcade board? Great new channel from Luxocrates, excited to see this project progress: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewyz...

The original (sideways) Tower of Power (TI-99/4A), SEGA ain’t got nothing on the computer scene

We are #7 on Hacker News today: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4499...

Altered Beast for Genesis was Amiga’s Shadow of the Beast equivalent — it was a system seller, impressive as a tech demo, even though it wasn’t a great game. Both misunderstood!

Today I learned that Bomb the Bass’ soundtrack for Xenon 2 on the Amiga (a mediocre game with a fantastic soundtrack) used samples from John Carpenter, the horror movie and composer legend: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXg4...

Still sad that we lost one of the absolute best chiptune (in the proper sense of the word) musicians a few years back. Do yourself a favor and put this on and be inspired: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RBk...

Does anyone in Portugal want to buy us a Coke? 😄

Did you ever play Worms? Angry Birds? Artillery Duel? GORILLAS.BAS? Scorched Earth? You are playing POTSHOT, from 1969. Great little documentary by @atariarchive.org: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaLG...

This guy at Vintage Computer Festival is selling these extremely dramatic 3D printed Lemmings statues, they're tiny reproductions of the first annual "Ammi" award he presented at an Amiga celebration last night. "Limited edition of 40!" he told me. I love him so so much.

Was tempted to pick up a Retroid Pocket based on @retrogamecorps.com’s excellent reviews… until I saw latency numbers. 24 frames of lag vs. MiSTer’s 2-4 frames of lag (display+input) is *rough*. Hopefully @takiudon.bsky.social’s upcoming (OLED?) MiSTer handheld can save us! youtu.be/JVGpiVpRD58?...
