Mastersystem pads are perfectly safe and are wired just like standard 2-button Amiga controllers.

What do the initials WHD mean in WHDLoad?

The official master system pads are kind of not great, but there are some after market ones that do better.
The problem with most D-pads is that amiga games assume you can do diagonals easy. Platformers often get patched to use the second button to jump (and many later ones had it in a menu anyways, if you see a "gamepad" option thats usually what it does) but games like Alien Breed or even Speedball get awkward to play when you cant reliably use diagonals. |

Well, I'm not a fan of Mastersystem pads (or Megadrive pads for that matter), so I haven't used one in anger for a long, long time. I can tell you though that while both buttons will work on the Amiga, only button 1 will work on the C64.

It was the A3400 originally and looked quite different. https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/b...uct.aspx?id=28 |

A Zorro 3 card with sata would only do a max of around 14MB/s(in theory) and would use alot of cpu overhead to do it(depending how it was engineered). SCSI on the accelerator is the absolute best you can do on an A4000 because its local bus, DMA capable, and synchronous. It uses very little CPU time to move data. A CSPPC with SCSI to IDE bridge will net around 24-27MB/s with a quality CF card. A real SCSI HD will net around 38MB/s depending on the HD. There is nothing wrong with SCSI to IDE bridges or SCSI to SATA except maybe cost these days. |

I have the original Elbox mediator in the power tower,and since it used the ATX power supply i just ran 3.3v(orange) wire to the PCI slots of my board to give 3.3v compatibility. Its easier than hacking cards and 3v/5v cards work. |

When deleting a directory or file in DOpus you get the message - "Do you really wish to delete the selected entries?" and the options "Delete All Cancel". My question is what's the difference between Delete and All because they seem to do the same action?

If you selected more than 1 entry, "Delete" will step you through the selected entries one by one, "All" will not query but proceed to delete all entries.

Hi everyone, with a PiStorm is it possible to see the Amiga “insert disk” screen without a floppy inserted, or will it always attempt to boot from the HD?
