How is the OSSC ? And where di you buy it @Akiko ?

cjwhiting1982 · 03 April 2019, 22:53

2 x EK radiators for my PC, 240 and 360. I'm without my A600 and A1200 since sent them away to get recapped.

Very nice Predseda, I would love to see your boxed games collection. Do you have it on display? Any pics?

Predseda · 09 April 2019, 14:20

Yes, I have them in shelves. I will take some photo.

I've always loved the hardware bundles.
I think it was because those, more than anything else, captured my imagination and made me want to own an Amiga!

So, I've bought little bits and pieces, whenever I see them.

I bought the BBC emulator. (Never had a BBC, but, I'm just curious as to what an official emulator looks like.)

THE Emulator, disk and book.

m.2 disk for my PC. Somehow all the SSD connectors are in use, but the m.2 one was free so I got myself one. I need to de-clutter my files and free some disks...

Mikerochip · 17 April 2019, 21:20

Some Amiga floppies.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/16By...ew?usp=sharing

Not sure what the software Toolkit is!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Qf...ew?usp=sharing

F117A is missing disk 1

And Lure of the Temptress is missing disk 2!

There's a Codemasters compilation that's not on HOL, too.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rEZ...ew?usp=sharing

Lombard Rally is missing disk 1
And Curse of Enchantra is missing disk 5!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RD-...ew?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z5t...ew?usp=sharing

And some Atari ST Floppies: (Most of) The Tandy Discovery Pack
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CtT...ew?usp=sharing

It's missing 'Crack'ed/Xenon' and Microprose Soccer.

And I now need to dump most of this.

And, Ghostbusters and Magicland Dizzy for the PC, in 3.5" and 5.25" disk boxes!

Kenshigros · 21 April 2019, 11:09

@Retrofan
C64 SID chips
I got a lot of them and some are fakes unfortunately that is why...

I got today Racing Destruction Set floppy version for C64 also

Next time I will get them made locally as shipping costs were more than the items.

How much?

I've bought a wireless controller from 8BitDo for my Mega Drive from Aliexpress for 17€.

I first saw them in this review about the Analogue Mega SG by Modern Vintage Gamer

I've been splashing out recently...
TF330 for the CD³²
ACA1233n (26MHz) for the ACA500+ (for the A500)
XSurf-500 for the ACA500+ (for the A500)

Desk space remains problematic.

The zip-RAM sidecar add-on for the A590 is working very nicely though, with autoconfig and everything. Finally 8MB fast and an A590 together.

NovaCoder · 27 April 2019, 02:05

Roland SC-55 mrk2 (I was missing the real flavour!)

Baboon · 11 May 2019, 18:43

Love a bit of r-type...

haynor666 · 11 May 2019, 19:19

Recently I got Brian the Lion AGA Caesar english version (because I had german till now).

Daedalus · 11 May 2019, 21:17

Just received Lotharek's most recent SIO2SD creation for my Atari 800XL. Called "Biggus Dickus" (if you haven't seen The Life of Brian, go watch it), it's a drive emulator for Atari 8-bits that takes an SD card and emulates floppy drives, and it's excellent. My only complaint is that the white screen and PCB make my yellowed case look even worse...

Hi Daedalus, have you any interest in building an SDrive-MAX for the Atari? (Or do you have one already?!)

Once I started using the touchscreen, it was hard to go back to pressing buttons.

I bought an AVG cart for my 65XE.

Superb little device. I have an Ultimate 1 Meg memory expansion from Lotharek fitted too, and the AVG emulates a SIDE cart, as well as loading most (if not all known) bankswitch formats, and some atr files.

With SIDE emulation, it can function (as a real SIDE cart does) like a HDD with the U1M board. I haven't made any atari partitions on my SD card yet, but I will!
(And I prefer using SD cards, as opposed to the CF cards the SIDE carts use)

Otherwise, it has a nice (and pretty unique) menu for loading games off the SD card.

Daedalus · 11 May 2019, 23:45

Yeah, I saw them and considered it for a while, but in the end I liked the look of Lotharek's device and went with it. I never really considered the cartridge-based hard drive approach, but I like the idea of having lots of separate "disks" for saving stuff to - it keeps things simple for transfers. Currently looking at some (awful) code I wrote around 30 years ago, which I recovered from cassette, transferred to ATR using an emulator, and then put back on its original hardware on an SD card. Fun times
