Well as time and money are a bit too tight for me to progress my bigger amiga projects/desires, I decided to follow up on an old thread and see about making a joystick tester.
Simple for most of you I know, but I am just a noob to most of this stuff.
After some helpful advice via PM I am almost...
Well, real life seems to be keeping me busy at the moment with little time for retro. Am just marking time really until Tanks Furry comes out next month - that looks cool.....
Having purchased a second A1200 to fulfil my plan of having one in the summerhouse for games etc, I sent the new motherboard off to TheCorfiot in Wales for some work, namely:
recap the board (of course), reinforce the power lines to the floppy drive power connector, remove the RF modulator, and...
Well, I managed to get my hands on an a1200, whose motherboard (rev 1A) is now winging its way to The Corfiot in Wales for a recapping and some mods. Whilst I wait I have used my previous motherboard to create the a1200 that will go in the man cave - so just a basic a1200 with CF hard drive, and...
Well after all the hassle and not getting the few games I did all this for to work on the gotek I took that out, still had some issues with some games on the floppy versions, and then the floppy drive itself started playing up.
I have decided to park the a500 back in its box, and put a basic...
Well, I got my a500 for the man cave, and so proceeded to try and write a few adfs to disk to play out there. Hmm, it all went a bit wrong, as whether it was in infected or corrupts adf one of them trashed my CF HD on my a1200.
I ended up having to go back to an earlier backup (hence why I like...
Well as I seem to be getting nowhere fast with my A1200, and have little occassion to use it in the spare room, my attention has turned to the summerhouse. As my daughters are getting older and I approach 40, I think I need a man cave of retro goodness.
So, My desk out in the summerhouse...
Apologies that this is not computing but I know a few here are guitarists. I've had a Westone Thunder-1A guitar since the eighties. The volume and tone knobs are a bit tired now and I've always wanted to make some as per the original and I know the Westone owners are sometimes looking out for...
Well its been a few months now and the madness is starting to return. Once again I am eyeing up one of those aztecmonster cards, so as to run my CF card on SCSI and put the DVD drive back in (just so I can).....
Hi all
First off, please don't think I'm trying to show off, or anything like that because I'm not that kind of person. I just like to talk games sometimes, and I hope there's a couple of games in here that maybe you've not heard of or dismissed or didn't realise were even on the Wii. That's...
Thought I'd have a go at writing a blog for the first time ever.
I have some lengths of 100x100x10mm steel angle section and with these I hope to build a box/pan folder to make sheet metal parts requiring folded sections. Might come in handy for fabricating computer panels and brackets etc...
Right, had to post this up because I'm actually really pleased with this stage. I know they're only mini stages all of like 30 seconds, but I've never played shoot em ups really so it's quite a learning curve. I'm also a creature of habbit, so it's going to have to complete memorisation of when...
Hi all
Over the last month or so I've picked up a few shoot em ups for the 360, the PS2 and the GameCube. The first shoot em up I started with was Project X and St Dragon back in the day, both on the 500+, both of which I loved but was never any good at.
So, first of all I picked up Gradius V...
Well, I have had great fun with the kids over Christmas on the miggy, and have got them into Dynablaster etc.
The previous onset of Amiga Fever meant that the inside of my a1200 was getting rather crowded, especially in the corner with the IDE-Fix express, double CF adapter, cabling for the...
Though handheld consoles tend to, quite rightly, be geared towards single-player games, the onset of wireless technology meant that such machines have been able to break free of the awkward link cables of times gone by, allowing for much more convenient multi-player experiences where it's...

I hadn't planned on writing another one of these posts until the new official Lemmings merchandise launches in early 2015, but I now have enough new Lemmings items (plus one that I forgot to write about last time!) in my collection to warrant one more entry in this series this year.
