Asked ChatGPT to turn a screenshot with my pixel graphics for the 1992 Hoi Amiga game into a modern 3D game.

I like the result, although ChatGPT didn't get the gravity right on the bouncing spheres. 😉

Multipaint is a paint program that runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and specialises in retro pixel art. The tool, which is now available in version 3.2.2025, supports the creation of graphics under the colour restrictions of classic 8- and 16-bit platforms - not only the Amiga, but also other retro systems such as C64, ZX Spectrum, MSX, CPC and Atari ST.

I love it when people ask. XD

I am:

Deeply nostalgic about the 16-bit era of computing and its graphic limitations
Deeply concerned that I use as little of my instance admin's (admittedly ample) data storage as possible

So, I almost never post videos, and when I post pictures, I either post as very compressed #WebP (not my favorite image format, but it's the best format for low-fidelity/high-compression images that #GoToSocial supports), or "lossy"-compressed PNGs.

I have a utility on my phone (Image Toolbox) that can reduce PNG files by reducing the number of colors, but it's not great at picking the colors.

When I have the time and presence of mind to do so, I will take the PNG into GIMP and either use its conversion function to reduce the number of colors (to something like 32 or maybe 64, possibly as low as 4 or 8), or (like in the above case) I'll actually hand-select the important colors in the image and tell GIMP to reduce the image to just those colors.

In this case, the original screenshot PNG was 83KiB, which I managed to bring down to 16KiB through the manual color reduction process (down to just 6 colors).

If you peruse the #LossyPNG hashtag, there are plenty of examples. Some are obviously reduced (and are reminiscent of graphics on 16 bit machines like the #Amiga or #AtariST), but some look quite good for how severely reduced they were.

Could the Amiga have become a true multiuser OS, akin to Unix, or was it too tied to specific hardware and lack of memory protection for that to be possible?

Could it have taken a path similar to MacOS classic and OSX? I never had an Amiga, so forgive any obvious ignorance on my part.

Some days ago I discovered OpenLara, an opensource-implementation of the first Tomb Raider engine and its port to AmigaOS.

It is just a demo with only two levels and (at least in my case) no sound. But it is fully playable at stable 30 fps. I never thought this (unfairly tuned) Amiga is able to push so many polygons 😀

In an article, Keith Monahan describes how he converted a standard 50 Watt power supply unit, which costs around 50 euros, so that he can use it as a replacement power supply unit for his Amiga 500. The model used was the GP50A13D-R1B from Meanwell.

The relatively new "Quite OK Audio Format" (QOA) is a lossy audio compression format.

According to Grzegorz Kraszewski, this could also be a good alternative for the Amiga in terms of computing effort, quality and file size. He has implemented a decoder in M68k assembler and written a tool that converts QOA files into uncompressed AIFF:
