HackadayDirk Hoffmann, known for the vAmiga emulator for macOS, has also written a program called RetroVisor for that operating system, which is designed to make a selected screen area appear as if it was displayed by a cathode ray tube - e.g. for the visually "too perfect" display of emulated Amiga games.

Cordoomceps - 用《毀滅戰士》核心替換 Amiga 的大腦
➤ 當 ARM 核心遇上 68000 時代:在 Amiga 硬體上無 68000 指令運行 Doom 的奇蹟
✤ https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/73001.html
本文介紹了一種創新的方法,利用 Raspberry Pi 的 ARM 架構執行《毀滅戰士》(Doom) 遊戲,並透過模擬 Motorola 68000 處理器與 Amiga 的硬體進行互動,進而實現了無需在 Amiga 硬體上執行任何 68000 指令即可運行《毀滅戰士》的目標。作者詳細闡述瞭如何克服 Amiga 的韌體啟動、圖形顯示架構以及處理器之間的通訊瓶頸,並透過 Copper 協處理器管理圖形更新,最終成功地在 CDTV 上展示了這款經典遊戲。
+ 這真是太神奇了!竟然能在這麼古老的硬體上運行 Doom,而且還是用這種方式!
+ 作者對 Amiga 硬體的理解非常深入,解決方案也很巧妙,值得學習。

Following the beta version, Dirk Hoffmann has now released the final version 4.3 of his Amiga emulator "vAmiga" for macOS. The file system navigator now includes a boot command for managing boot blocks.
Ey, #heiseQuiz #Amiga. :)
Hab ärgerlicher Weise nicht alle Fragen richtig, bin aber nicht unzufrieden (dafür, dass ich den Computer nie hatte und hauptsächlich aus der Happy Computer kannte - dank Emulatoren bin ich mittlerweile aber ziemlich gut damit vertraut).
Manche Fragen waren aber auch super abstrus - wie, bei welchem öffentlichen Anlass der Amiga prominent in Szene gesetzt wurde. Hä?!
Und bei dem Hickhack zwischen dem Atari-Team, was ihn entwickelt hat und wie er dann bei Commodore gelandet ist, hab ich noch nie so richtig durchgesehen - Frage dazu prompt falsch beantwortet. Wären mehr technische Fragen oder mehr als eine (gute) -ähem- applikationsspezifische Frage gekommen, wäre ich noch besser gewesen ;)
Jedenfalls: Beat this!

Great to get a shoutout for Turbo Tomato in Retro Gamer as part of the #Amiga40 special feature :) In stores now...
Next holiday quest: I have an #Amiga 1000, but no keyboard.
It expects firmware from a floppy - I used a serial connection to the Amiga 500 to write the floppy, now the A1000 boots, into Workbench, or into games.
But there is no keyboard..
The connector turns out to be RJ10. Got one, and osci shows the expected signals. Wanted to have a Raspi pico communicate at the keyboard side, but the Pico just handles 3.3V, yet the Amiga does 5V. Seems like I need a level shifter to convert 3.3V/5V.
The Assembly demo party has been held in Helsinki since 1992, and this year's edition took place last weekend. Two Amiga productions also placed in the "Oldskool Demo" category:
Fantavision was my first piece of software when I bought my Amiga back then. Before I even got any games.
Then it was red sector mega demo.... and I think Quest for the Time Bird was my first game.

Naturally. That's quite amazing
