4000/040 25mhz
larger, could accomodate impossible expansions, i remember how with a single card more it could emulate a 66 mhz pc.
060 chipsets were faster but prone to too many incompatibilities and crashes.

I remember some company looking into Motorola's Coldfie as potential cpu for accelerator card, but it was too incompatible with the 68k cpus to make it work.

Someone finally uploaded footage of Hired Guns' CD32 version to yootoob in july.



Edit: Here's discussion about the CD32 version:

Seems like saving isn't possible on the Beta CD32 version.

Do you guys know any more stuff like this? There's a ton of conversions to "8bit music" (it mostly means NES), I only found a couple examples like this one for Amiga/ProTracker.

It looks like the lazy types will be able to Amiga easier now.

Not that emulation is that difficult, but since it will run WHD load games, it will simplify setting up an Amiga HD image for those that want fast loading and no disk swapping.

FS-UAE just works, I'm convinced most people who think it's difficult tried WIN-UAE.

I will have to try it. I have used winUAE for a long time now, though it has eaten two copies of my original A1200 drive now. If a better option exists, I will give it a go.

You might as well ask how many drops are in the ocean.



This is not the one I remember from back then, as it uses fewer digitzed samples. There's also a version of "Personal Jesus" which uses longer samples, and suffers a bit as a result.

Another excellent Ahoy video

And now for some true heresy: An Amstrad CPC... playing SiD-tunes!



It's 100% accurate on some of the tracks, but you can hear it struggling in places, especially on Cybernoid 2.

Dunno if it was mentioned before, but:

Somebody recompiled vAmiga with emscripten into webassembly, it's kinda nice.

We thought you might like to see some of the first plastics coming out of the machines, and some ‘keyboard’ plastics being laser etched at the factory! Preorder now at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09BW8N7JZ or search THEA500 on your regional Amazon store. Also available at many other retailers.

No commentary playthrough of the just released demo for the Amiga FPS "Dread". Played on hard skill, showing all secrets.

Just because it's Sunday and that dope track came up in my random playlist. These dudes had the attitude!

(this is how it runs on a stock A1200 too, btw)

That was a very interesting and informative video, thanks for posting! Makes me want to replay the game in WinUAE yet again!

Here is the article the video above refers to at the end - very interesting technical information about Another World:

And here another Making of video:

I didn't know that the North American version "Out of this world" was slightly censored (mentioned right at the end of the video after the credits).

I still have nightmares about that "cut scene" near the beginning of AW with the single-fanged black wormy thing dripping venom biting you and killing you faster than a black mamba. In fact, had a nightmare last night about it, or something very similar but with a small land-crawling single-tentacle jelly-fish like creature attaching itself to my arm with fangs, though the dream was probably the result of a news item on Microsoft Edge's home page I saw the day before entitled "Is Daddy Longlegs Venom The Deadliest of any spider species?" Fuck click-bait.
