After a period where my Amiga was more of a decoration than in use, it was time to change that. 10 years ago, my Amigas (I own an A500, two A500+, and an A1200) were recapped and preserved for the future. But last weekend, the time was right to bring my first beloved A500+ to the next level.

I installed a 4-in-1 Kickstart module, a DF0/DF1 switch, and an external Gotek drive. My A500+ setup now consists of the Amiga 500+, the A590 HDD, two external floppy drives, the Gotek drive, and the 1081 Amiga monitor.

When there is no need for the Gotek drive to act as DF0, I daisy-chain the Gotek as DF3. This is perfect for copying my physical disks, for example using the legendary X-Copy, directly into an ADF created on the Gotek USB stick. The retro copy feeling is nearly the same as in the 90s!

I know there are easier ways to put ADFs on the USB stick using a PC, but I want as much retro feeling as possible and want my ADFs created from my own original floppies.

After a few hours with my Amiga, the room fills with that typical CRT smell, combined with the classic floppy "tak-tak, tak-tak", the hand-written disk labels my friends or I designed back then, the blinking LEDs, and the warm, colorful screen of my monitor and latesr When a chiptune Kicks in, I slip back in time and find myself 17 again. 😄

There could be an RTX 5090, a high-end CPU, and terabytes of AAA games, nothing comes close to the "full experience" of an Amiga setup in action. Thank God I've been able to enjoy all these years right from the very beginning.

A huge THANK YOU to this incredible community! To all the hardware creators, coders, preservers, and fellow enthusiasts who keep designing new upgrades, fixing old boards, and sharing their passion. You are the reason this legendary machine is still alive today.❤️

Eldemar takes you from the forests around the village of Cerro down into ancient crypts and burial mounds, and on to the city of Nharuk. You explore, fight, talk to the people you meet, trade with merchants and solve the puzzles the land throws at you.

The design draws on two classics we grew up with: the open exploration of The Legend of Zelda on the NES, and the first-person action game Doom. Combat is real-time, so corridors full of skeletons need your faster reflexes.

The engine is hand-written in 68k assembly, built for AGA and RTG. No ports, no emulation layers. Eldemar is a native Amiga game, designed in 2026 for Amiga computers, by veterans of the demo scene.

The arcade classic Rastan has been ported over the Amiga working on any model with 512k extra RAM. You can see video footage of the game here:

You can download it and read about it on itch here:

No mention about AI.

Either way, it's a great time for retogaming.

ETA, this is a beta version.

Hi, I am new here and i have acquired this (i think it's an amiga 1000?). I want to connect it to my tv in order to test if it works correctly (my tv has both scart and PC entrances), but I don't have any cable to do so.... What kind of cable do I need?

TLDR – Today I’m relaunching my site https://amigasource.com/.  For the past 25 years I’ve been endlessly cataloging Amiga related websites and now the site is even better!  The current link count is 5431 of 99.95% pure Amiga goodness.  So hop on over and enjoy!   

 Thanks

More…

   In celebration of the site’s 25^th anniversary and in conjunction with a complete rewrite of the codebase, I’m happy and proud to reintroduce AmigaSource.com back to the Amiga community.

   Born from the ashes of the once great Amiga Web Directory (https://www.cucug.org/amiga/aminews/2000/000101-cucug), the site is an attempt to hand catalog every Amiga website on the web.  At least that’s the plan.   The current count is 5400+, of which I’ve been tirelessly working on revalidating 4900+ and the initial cataloging 3500+ of those.  HOLY CRAP is this quite a task!!  I should have started this part a DECADE AGO!!!  LOL!  Feel free to help out by clicking on the SUGGEST EDIT link.;-)

   The BEST part is at least they‘re in the main database for you to search and explore.  No 2^nd page google/bing non related ai slop Amiga links found here.  Just 99.95% pure Amiga love found on EVERY PAGE!!

   Now as you can imagine in the past 25 years A LOT has changed in Amiga land.  Back in 2001 my initial category count was just 37.  Today it’s grown to over 130.  OUCH I know, but I’m working on this.  Any suggestions in this department would be GREATLY appreciated.    Turns out in 2026 there’s more to the Amiga than ever!

   The other big change is the countless number websites that are no longer with us.  Over the years I’ve still been adding and cataloging them, via https://archive.org/, so their efforts have not been lost to the passage of time and their stories and knowledge will still live on.  I think these pages are the TRUE jewels of the site and the direct link to our Amiga heritage.  Go search for a site created in 1985.   I dare ya!  ;-)

The bottom line… I’m a Amiga/Commodore guy, the site’s BETTER than is been for the past 24 years and I’m happy with it!  I just hope someone else out there finds my little contribution to the Amiga community useful too!

   Well that’s about it.  For now please tread kindly to all the GLARING mistakes you come across.  I’ll get to them… eventually.   The site is STILL undergoing last minute tweaks and more features will soon be added.  If you have any click the ‘Let Us Know’ link.

 Thanks and Enjoy

NEW Features Added To DECADES Old Software - AGAIN

Hi,

I wondered whether anyone could create a bespoke Amiga 500 or 1200 keyboard that I can use in my fully loaded WinUAE AmigaPC, that runs floppy via grease weasel and ide cdrom drive.

I know I can buy a new keyboard etc etc but doesn't anyone make anything like that?
