I just installed WB 3.2 on a CF in my A1200 and now I want to set up WHDLoad for it, is there any way to get WHDLoad functionality (extracting LHAs etc.) onto my amiga?

Like the files that need to be installed for it in an adf file or something?

Or do I have to extract the CF card and connect it to my PC and use WinUAE?

Thanks!

Hi. I'm trying to play Monkey Island on Retroarch on my PS Classic, but it would be great to use the D-pad and X button as instead of the on-screen mouse controls and left mouse button. Does anyone know how to do this? I believe it should be in the Retroarch options somewhere when playing the game but I messed things up before when trying to change the controls so didn't want to risk it. Thanks!

A friend of mine is in London for the week and it got me thinking; since Amigas tend to be a bit pricey up here in the states, I could maybe get something good in the UK for a considerably lesser price. Problem is most of the Amigas appear to be outside of London. If anyone has a broken Amiga (preferably broken to keep the price down) let me know.

I recently got an Oki 182 microline from a small house clearance - i can get it to print a test page okay, and if i do dir > par: on the amiga it will print without using a driver, but what print driver would be best suited for this? and where would i obtain it?

So I see that there's the Vintage Computer Fest coming on Tax weekend (April 15th) in NJ, USA.

I've never been to one of these. Would it be a good place to purchase Amiga stuff? Specifically - I want to update my Amiga ROMs to 3.2.2 from 3.2.1 and see if there's any other specific parts available.

Being in the USA, I don't know anywhere that has Amiga ROMs for sale w/o needing some shipping costs. So I figured this fest might be the best opportunity to buy stuff like this.

I was in my local Barnes and Noble bookstore (North America) this past weekend and I was happy to see Amiga Addict and Pixel Addict in the magazine racks. I know both have been stocked in UK bookstores but seeing it in a Barnes and Noble in North America put a smile on my face.

I have been ordering copies from the UK so it's great to now have the ability to just drop by my local bookstore to pick up copies.

I had a Blizzard 1230 IV in the 00s which gave a nice boost to the desktop and some of the productivity software I used. However, anything beyond that would likely have had rapidly diminishing returns for my uses at the time. I sold it later and have been happy with just a fast RAM expansion in the trap door since.

Now that you can get hundreds of millions of instructions per second for relatively little money, I kind of feel like indulging, though, but I prefer having a concrete excuse. What could I be doing with that raw CPU power on an A1200? What are you doing? What classic software benefits from this and what modern software is built for it?

I am the proud owner of three Amiga's 2x 1200 and a 500. The latter is a bit of a concern as everybody on YouTube almost begs to remove and or replace the battery. I opened the trap door and took the expansion out; see picture. It says "Sealed Ni Cd battery". There is no sign of leakage as far as I can see.

Is it possible that this battery is leak-free? Thanks for your help!

Just seen this clip from 1985 Thames TV (UK) introducing the new AmigaOS and Workbench by MetaComCo - an interesting bit of history.
