just get a SCART cable and a SCART to HDMI upscaler that supports 15kHz I have this setup for my Apple IIgs and it works great, I’m expecting it to work great for my Atari ST and my coming Amiga as well

I wonder how much they cost these days. I still regret getting rid of it all. this allowed you to get crash replays in Indy 500

I think Amiga people might be too crazy for me, so mayhaps I will stick with the raspberry pi. u know how people say everything's cost is inflated if its for a wedding, like a flower arrangement would be like $50 but if u say its for a wedding its suddenly $300 amiga is the wedding. "oh, you need an old ide hard drive adapter? 5 bucks. oh, for amiga? 45 dollars."

my painted-black Amiga 500 and external drive and PSU arrived today it included a non-Amiga mouse that said it was a serial mouse on the back, so I’ll have to use this wacky chrome mouse I found for a couple bucks instead  I should be getting a SCART cable any day now too since LOL at paying eBay prices for a 1084 or whatever

depends how crazy you want to go you'll at least want a trapdoor memory expansion to give you 1 meg of chip ram (https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/A512.html) if you want a quick jump into the Amiga Experience and don't mind forking over some cash you can get an ACA500 accelerator (https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/ACA500plus.html) which provides a 14MHz CPU upgrade, 8 megs of Fast RAM, some onboard flash memory, and two compactflash slots plus a licensed kickstart installer for EUR129 you could also go eBay hunting for expansion cards but that's the easiest way to get onboard

what kickstart is on it, 1.2? you can softkick to any version you need at the cost of some chip ram for running games, 1.3 is the best; for productivity, 3.1 is the best.

it’s actually had Kickstart 2.04 installed, I think I should downgrade to 1.3 though for games

my ACA500plus and A512 both arrived and work, yay of course I seem to have gotten myself into a mode where the Amiga freezes until I push the button on the ACA500plus, like I click an icon in Workbench and the system is frozen until I push the button I suspect it thinks I want to drop into a debugger or something, but resetting things to factory defaults doesn’t fix it and it’s really harshing my mellow I guess my next step is to restore the firmware in hopes that doing so flips whatever bit got set

the paint job is growing on me though also RBG→SCART→HDMI works great for output, everything looks beautiful and having audio go through the TV too is nice throwback, it’ll be fun to play some games on the big screen once I have everything fully working

I used to be a huge amiga fanboy and had a bunch of them including a rickety 1200 mounted into a lovely tower with a powerpc card and a permedia 2 graphics card dangling haphazardly from it. I spent years writing dumb assembly code on it I was going to amiga user groups and poo poo, where a bunch of broken nerds would gush over the same 3 lovely old applications and games, the latest comically terrible hardware hack allowing to use some real world computer peripheral, and the latest actual new app (which was always some application launcher, it was application launchers all the way down) One day i was like "wait this all a bunch of garbage poo poo for idiots wtf am I doing" and I bought a normal computer Op just install UAE (it can emulate any Amiga configuration perfectly down to weirdly specific details such as an accurate simulation of the floppy drive noises) & dl a bunch of old poo poo to play with and laugh about for a day or so, it should be enough to prevent a relapse
