This is very cool. What are your plans for it?

[Predseda]

I though I will try to connect it to Mega Drive Mini, it would fit perfectly. I have ordered HDMI to RCA AV converter and I am curious if it will work or not.

Bought :

Manix / Millenium
Billiards Simulator / Ere international
Grand slam Tennis / Data Byte
Compil Precious Metal / Ocean
Compil 10 megahits vol.3 / Ubisoft

All passed in IPF

[OldAmigan]

A500 os3.2 rom

[Nobby_UK]

Greaseweazle V4 only £21 p+p inc...

Works fine for ADOS disks
But NonDos can end up huge:

Lemmings1.hfe = 2.00 MB (2,097,152 bytes)(CRC = BB267FE5)
Lemmings2.hfe = 1.96 MB (2,056,192 bytes)(CRC = E0D3A14A)
Lemmings1.scp = 38.9 MB (40,792,064 bytes)(CRC = EFA0BA0C)
Lemmings2.scp = 36.9 MB (38,719,488 bytes)(CRC = C4C368F0)

Anything that can convert these (especially the .SCP) to something smaller ?

Tried HxC --- it makes ADFs but they don't work.

I got a Golden Gate 486SLC card. Now if only I had a working big-box Amiga to test it in...

I have spoken prematurely obviously . Bought a 10'' Thomson TV set, which failed on me as soon as I turned it on. Now stored in the basement, until I decide what to do with it. Also, bought a 10'' Kaïsui TV set (the KR 3910) as of late, which looks very similar to my kaputt AudioSonic, albeit with a shinier plastic shell. Phew, that's my fourth attempt, this set seems to work just fine, knock on wood, came with an unusable remote (rusty battery connectors) :

Bought a couple of different alphanumeric LCD modules to write some Amiga software for.

[NorthWay]

4-port powered USB-C hub with PSU. (For not frying the Amiga controller.)
Ordered the same one. but cheaper from another retailer, to power some cheapass pc stereo speakers.

And I got the remains from my late mothers house moved here during the summer, which includes stand-up arcade cabinet with heavy burn-in monitor, 14" CRT tv with SCART, 2x B2000 with bits and bobs missing, 2x old PCs (hence said speakers), 17" 4x3 LCD, 24" 16x9 LCD, and a whole lot more comics and magazines than I thought it would be (why didn't I bring all along when I moved out?).

That's normal. Lemmings use a copylock, that can't be contained in a simple HxC (Hfe) file. You need to use the HFE v3 experimental format for that to make it work.

Oh, and one more thing I forgot to dump on you: A pop-up screen on a stand for an old 1960's 8mm film projector, but this one has proper "silver" coating for reflecting back the light. I don't know if you get that kind nowadays, or just plain white ones.

A 1.44mb USB floppy drive to hopefully fit that adaptor to write Amiga ADFs.

My time came up on Robert Smith's waiting list to buy his Arduino based "DrawBridge" connector to allow a USB Floppy to R/W Amiga ADF's.
The floppy drive must have a ribbon cable for the connection. His suggestion was to buy a USB floppy that you could return to check for the ribbon cable; my solution was to buy the same type he uses in his video [https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/seehow] and that was the Tendak USB Floppy Disk Drive from Amazon (US) [https://www.amazon.com/Tendak-USB-Fl...dp/B01NCV01GY] -- Received the USB floppy, and it has the required ribbon cable inside; now just waiting for the DrawBridge board from Rob Smith.

Boxed copy of SWOS.

[Havie]

Had a bit of a car boot sale haul (first for ages).

PS1 (original), PS2 Slim (sadly not working), DS (original blue), and various games, graphic novels, games etc. (some for little Hav).

Also found a rare(ish) Doctor Who LCD game. So a good morning all round.

Picked up a matching pair of NEC MultiSync EA241WM 24" Full HD Monitors.
Tested them both with my a1200 and they work well.
