An Amiga 500 that worked well initially has started to get a weaker and weaker sync signal, now at the point where my OSSC cannot sync to it at all (DB23 to SCART cable.) Checking voltages:

The RGB port's 5V pin is a solid 5V, but the 12V pin is consistently 13V.

The PSU itself when not under load has: -11V on the -12V rail, 12.4V on the 12V rail, and 5.3V on the 5V rail.

Inspecting the PSU, it seems like the big 150uf/200V cap has leaked. But dunno if these voltages are at all related to sync problems. Any suggestions how to proceed with troubleshooting?

I have winuae setup with workbench and some whload games. When I enter workbench the screen is correctly displayed full screen but maintaining aspect ratio. When I load any game with whload it has a black bar along the top of the screen and cuts off the bottom of all games by this amount (about 1 inch) it's very annoying and is preventing me from playing anything. I have tried messing around with the winUAE settings but it hasn't helped, also the fact that workbench displays correctly makes me think it's a setting within workbench/whload I need to change. I'm quite new to this if anyone can help. Thanks

Hi, I also posted this to /r/tipofmyjoystick - but I'm not expecting much luck in there, as this is pretty niche.

I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played on our A600 in the early to mid 90s.

My memory is hazy and I think we only had the demo version.

So on each level you had to commit a specific crime, and I *think* the aim of the game was actually to get arrested. Probably a point and click interface. Each level was confined to one location or room. No free roam or 'map'.

2D side-view, possibly in the style of the old LucasArts point and click.

The part I remember most was using TNT to blow through a brick wall into the back of a bank vault. At the end of the level the cops rolled up and busted you.

Sorry for lack of details, thanks in advance.

Is there a way to change back the about the copyright or about text to commodore. I changed the Rom an now there’s cloanto listed.

Looks wrong..

Can anyone summarise what the Buffee and TerribleFire accelerators are that I’m reading about online, and if they are something useful for my A1200? I have an ACA1233n in my machine and a 68060r6 stored away awaiting a suitable card - so are these something I should be looking at, and how do they differ from the solutions we already have?
