What did you buy today.

[Nosferax]

• PC Engine console, to complement my Turbografx 16
• 2x controller extender, one for TG 16 and one for PC Engine
• Vigilante for TG 16
• Way of the Stones for Amiga

[Nosferax]

I almost forgot...

30x Box of 3.5" floppy to convert back ADF to floppy.
Bizarrely, I prefer those floppy to my Gotek... I'm weird like that.

But I must admit, having to rename all those long filename ADF so they can be recognized by ADFBlitz can be a pain. I've converted the "0-9" and "A" titles yesterday (minus the sport titles, foreign language (beside english and french) and flight sims which I don't play).

It's a labor of love!

Technically I didn't buy this today, but it just arrived in the mail

I got extremely lucky and managed to pick up this beauty for the incredible price of a couple of beers:


(My first AGA machine <3)

I've not been able to do much with it (waiting for the 3.5" PATA to CF adapter to arrive in the mail tomorrow-ish), but I'm in love.
Appears to have a standard C= 040 card, 2MB chip and 16MB fast (although I think more RAM is plugged in, as all slots are filled and 2 modules are marked "8MB").
There's an old X-surf card in there (no idea which model, it's from 1999 though), and some videocard that seems to not really do much more than provide S-video and composite (alongside standard amiga RGB).

Also included with it were a crate full of floppies (must be hundreds of 'em), a ton of old Amiga magazines, CD-ROMs, bunch of assorted cables, an "Emulator 2000" PC emulator card (8088) and this interesting contraption:



I'm pretty sure this is supposed to work as an external HD-FDD for the A4000 (that's what the cable is for anyway), but so far all it does is show up as DF2:????, even if no disk is inserted, so who knows if it works or not.

I hope to be able to upgrade it in various ways over time. Especially a 060 would be nice, but considering the prices they usually go for, I doubt I'll ever own one in my lifetime.

EDIT: here's a shot of the bin with floppies as well:

I got a copy of Deluxe Paint IV and Shufflepuck Café!

Could also be a DB25 pin to 50 pin Centronics SCSI adapter?

Maaaaaybe one day. If I can transport it by car. I don't think I'd want to drag this around in a suitcase or bag ^^;

Cloanto's nearly complete (what happened to workbench 3.0 and extras, and 2.0's extras?) set of adf images of Amiga OS. Just needed to try 2.1 out properly.

Here's my haul of the week. I'll be doing some box repairs this weekend

[ransom1122]

Great purchase!!!

EOB 1 & 2 are great games, but in my opinion Dungeon Master is the Epic Of all RPGs and only on 1 floppy disc

[BarryB]

They're budget versions of EOB, get the proper versions

I agree 100%. The floppy experience is part of what I loved about the Amiga. Some games that have a lot of disks (4+) might get put on the hard disk, but floppies will remain a daily part of Amiga use for me.

Technically bought on monday, should have arrived on tuesday, just arrived today:



3.5" PATA -> CF adapter for my A4000. Finally I can do some stuff with that machine <3

[alexh]

@Knoeki

I find these good for an A4000

Gives you access to the CF card without opening the case.

Don't forget to set your MaxTransfer to 0x1FE00

I actually have a proper version of EOB2 that I'm trying to sell.. I don't mind owning a budget release if it means I can buy two games for the price of mine.

I like the adapters from PC Engines, they're cheap as can be and work well in the A1200:
