Homemade Pinball machine based on Slamtilt for the Amiga
I think Raspberry Pi is the way to go... better performance and no lock-in. Loving your videos (but not this product 😂)
Since this is obviously also an emulation based system, how hard would it be to install a real AmigaOS?
This is a borderline scam at this point. They are using an Orange Pi zero 3 (that's €25 from aliexpress), a custom pcb (which is cheap, but nothing wrong with that) and an opensourced version of AmigaOS (AROS) to avoid the heaps of issues that come with all the "other" amiga-emulators. Two programs crashes upon startup. I'm guessing their testers didn't do much of a job there.. ... As you said. At the moment, this ain't it. Let's hope for better things to come along.
@@dozern I would love for AROS to get some momentum. And I hope some bugfixing irons out the things in the 600gs. So they using AROS was something I was happy about. Was hoping for something else than standard 3.x emulation. But something with less bugs and slowdowns. Hope and think things improve through updates I am still hopefull,and regarding the hardware I don't mind they used something available.
Did you ever make a how to video for your PcEM setup?
I was planning to. A guide for the whole setup. With silent linuxboot and everything. But never got around to it. Maybe I should. Descember is usually a dos month.
@@proteque Please do my dude. I have setup PCEm before but the fact that it was seamless was mind-blowing to me. Doing this kind of video for multiple setups including a regular x86 and SBC variants would be cool. Love your stuff like usual though man, killer.
@@samuelbanya i will make sure to do.
I don't think that ARM emulation is strong enough for a nice Amiga desktop yet.
@@RainerK. i have not tested the pi5 so cant speak for that. But besides that all my tries support what you say!
The Pi400 actually runs OS3.9 with RTG quite decently.
Lots of updates is coming. It is using AROS because of legal reasons. Be patient. It will be better.
Are customers aware that they are buying a product that is in the alpha state?
@@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV i will for sure update it and keep testing in. I hope my believe in the future dor the products managed to shined through it all. But had to be honest as well!
For amiga enthusiasts Amiberry and PiMiga are so far ahead. For curious gamers, the A500mini is there. Right now, I just don’t see a market fit.
@@keyboard_g I would love if this project could put a new fire in the AROS developement. So for that I really hope they iron out the problems and managed to gain some momentum.
You should do a tour of your computer lab setup my dude. Cool video as usual.
@@samuelbanya thank you kind sir. Actually I was considering making one of those for the "wow I passed 1k" celebration video. Was unsure if that would be of interest to anyone though.
@@proteque I am always looking for ideas personally since I really just have two desks in the basement corner for stuff :)
"Oh, a professional thumbnail" - of course its a video from you <3
@@SirChristian100 haha the moment when I have no idea if you are sarcastic or not. So I choose to think you are sincere :) thank you :)
@@proteque 100 % sincere!
A600GS… the GS must stand for “Goes Slow”. Disappointing product.
@@danielktdoranie like it is now it is hard to disagree. Works okay for gaming though. Fast enough for such use. But that was not what I wanted to use it for.
Looks like it shipped through the Ukraine 😂
I remember buying games and reading the manual on the bus home! At school we had an Amiga with Deluxe Paint 3. I remember being amazed by the animation feature, and 4096 colours!
Fun times. My school had some lokal computers. And later PC. No fun in that.
@@proteque yeah this was the media studies Amiga. We also had SuperVHS cameras and an editing suite. I think one of the teachers had connections. Definitely very lucky.
you should mention project Vampire for Amiga, it is the best out there ruclips.net/video/YRr74v2tPzM/видео.html
I hope to one day be able to have a go at the Amiga clones as well! But I don't have good machine for morphos nor a vampire. A bit to expencive for me. Only emulators for classic in this video though. But thanx for the suggestion. Would if I could!
@@proteque vampire is also standalone, which is not-so-much original amiga feeling, but it is cool. BUT it is expensive last i saw. like...hundreds of euros.
I remember I tried it a couple of times on Windows. I loved Dpaint, and I really liked Brilliance on my Amiga... I guess I could have liked this also, but never got "used" to it really... Going to try it now in my Pi Zero 2w :-) ---edit Hmm... This should work creating C64 pixel art also I guess then!
@@alexanderwingeskog758 well kind of. But it doesn't stop you from breaking the rules of the graphic mode. Example: multicolor bitmap mode has a pixel Aspect Ratio of 2:1. And for each 8 x 8 pixel character location can only contain 4 different colors: 1 color is defined for the background, 2 colors are defined using the screen matrix (same as a hi-res bitmap). For c64 graphics I would give a vote for multipaint. Very good pixeler for c64 graphics.
@@proteque Ah forgot about "rules" (was so long so I thought x-double pixel and a matching c64 palette would do the trick haha, something for GFX2 devs to create a mode for I guess (with the c64 restrictions):-) I will forget I think, so i'll try Multipaint! Thanks! And for the Amiga they could do the same with Half-brite I guess.. (well no restrictions per say only 32 color palette (from a 4 bit RGB) and make the rest 32 "half-brite" OCS style)... ---edit Oh wait, Half-brite you could do actually with out any problems I guess..
@@alexanderwingeskog758 yes. For Amiga, Atari modes and that generation of computers you are indeed covered! Hope Multipaint ticks your boxes. If not there as several options. (Have forgotten their names though).
What a great review! Thank you, sir.
Thank you! cheers! :)
You did a good job with the picture, but setting your beer on top of the computer made me nervous. 😄
Hehe sorry about that. Years of practice though. So far no broken computers! cheers!
nice Demonstration.
Thank you for your kind words :) cheers.
You've reminded me Amiga Fantavision. I was making some animations in it as a kid. Loved it. I still can't draw ...
I never tried Fantavision. Should give it a visit. Did you try a revisit yourself?
Oh, I did. Got myself copy on my emulator (I have Amiga Forever nowdays). Funny how it came to me how to use it straight after launching it, even tho it was about 30 years ago. My A600 was with me in the army with me (back in the conscript times). The fact You had Icons editor/creator was such a mind blowing thing to me as a kid. Making my own startup-sequence files... And Mod files of course. Still have collection of them.
@@hegemon8 Seems we hade the same youth :) It is strange how much time I used on making icons and background images (and later birdie themes and other hacks to make my workbench look scifi). Thanx for sharing your memories. It got me thinking I should start making Amiga icons again!
Awesome ps I was Subscriber Number 1000 :)
@@fangoriauk oh wow! Indeed you were! Thanx a lot! Quite a milestone. Thats a lot of people for a small hobbychannel like mine! Cheers.
Thanks so much for the workflow demonstration. Is your demoscene name the same as your RUclips channel? Is your stuff on Pouet?
Yes. My handle in the demoscene is Proteque. If you want to se demos, the group I am most active in is DHS (Dead Hackes Society) on Atari.
Nice pic ! It only goes to show that you dont need super expensive PC and the most advanced ver of photoshop or whatever to draw a master piece if you have talent. Cant believe you were able to draw it using soft from 1987 :) Well done !
Thank you :) It was fun. And the tool is indeed usually not a show stopper. It is usually our selves that is the limiting factor.
Impressive drawing!
Thank you. It was fun.
Ahhh Grafx2 - Quality programme ! I use it on my Linux box (mainly to make custom levels for - Worms TDC) I'd be very interested in the following - 1. Your thoughts / reviews for the old Amiga art apps, E.G. Deluxe Paint Brilliance TV Paint Personal Paint 2. Your workflow for creating digital / pixel art. E.G. Have you thought about creating a few videos showing how you create art for your art projects (and your demo scene stuff) ? I think we'd find it fascinating Anyway, another top video Proteque Keep up the fantastic work !
Thanx for some great ideas. Always happy to get those. Actually I have something like that ready for next Friday release :) it at least show from zero to something-image and showcase some more software. I should do it with ppaint, TVpaint and DPaint as well (have used all of them a lot). For some reason it feels more difficult to do with those giants. But I absolutely need to do it. Especially TVPaint which doesn't get much coverage. As always. Thank you for you continued support and nice comments. means a lot to me!
The UI is incomprehensible though. I wanted to like Grafx2, but had to shell out some bucks and get ProMotion NG for my DeluxePaint-like needs.
@@UltimatePerfection i used promotion a bit around 2008. It was very good. But my choise of operating system made it a bit of a pain as it didn't work well in wine for a period and using wine does not integrate very well in the ui. But such a great pixeler. I should give it a revisit. Maybe my license still works on current versions.
@@proteque If you got 6.5 or earlier license, your best best would be to e-mail Jan for a steam key of the NG with proof of purchase. He's a reasonable guy and even if it doesn't work out, PMNG is very cheap on Steam. AFAIK it runs great on Wine and if you are worried about the look not fitting... well, I wouldn't use half of Linux software if I was worried about UI fitting with each other. GTK somewhat (still not fully) fits with Qt stuff, but then you get stuff like Xlib or Motif and other "weird" UI libs.
Started using this recently on Linux and loving it. All the things I like about DPaint etc. but I can actually use my Wacom tablet with it :)
@@itsbledley_tv i should give that a try. I do have a wacom intuos (3 I think). Thanx for reminding me :)
@@proteque yes feels like a treat to be able to do the line drawing in a program like this with a Wacom. Have had no luck getting tablet to work in FS-UAE so far.
Truly great video and easy guide how to use Grafx2! I have it myself on my X5000/20. Using it together with the PPC native version of PPaint.
Great to hear!
@@proteque It sure is, and it might interest you to know that Kas1e is now porting the latest version of Grafx2 to Amiga.

Great. Found it in my repository on GhostBSD.
Thanks for this! I had no idea this app existed and also found it runs fine on MacOS.

@Proteque-CBN But did you know that a Protracker clone is available directly from the repositories? 🤣🤣🤣
I did not. but the point was not protracker. This can be done with any Amigaprogram. Protracker was just picked randomly to show how to do it. But I would love to know the name of the recreation of protracker though :)
Was that screaming picture your original one to begin with or were you just modifying an existing one?
@@samuelbanya mine original. But takes too much time to pixel something like that on cam. Was ment for a graphic compo. But not finished in time.
@@proteque Interesting, do you start with drawing next to a photo or do you pixel ontop of an existing one? I ask because I always liked that Amiga art style look but there's barely any workflow videos other than the few ProwlerGFX videos.
Awesome intro to Grafx2. Neat info about the spread option for the gradients.

This is weird. C64 clone to hdmi to composite. I was expecting the HDMI converter to cost more, but still, a real breadbin is way cheaper.
Avsolutely. And nothing beats it. But getting harder and harder to get fully working c64s. I need to be using fpga for it currently myself as I don't have a working sidchip atm. This video was ment only as a how to get the most nostalgia feeling if you have one oh "The C64". Not an endorcement! Cheers. Thanx for your comment.
Yes Joystick definitely horrible it's rubbish. But the computer not bad ❤
I loved Settlers on the Amiga, nice memories.
Great monitor stand you got there. Have you built it yourself?
Thanx. Yes I have actually. I did not make the stone plate though. That is bought! I just made the feet and made some connectors for them.
Beautiful looking game. Was always a shame we never got Settlers 2, will have to give this a go.
Yes, you should. Have played it a lot after making the video. I enjoy it a lot .
Cheers, what beer are you drinking?
Cheers. This evening I was drinking a plane lager (random lager from norwegian shop).
It's a great game... those were the days. And thanks for mentioning this game. I didn't know about it.
It sure is. Took a few more rounds before I got into it. Now I like it a lot!
Before I comment anything I would like to congratulate you on your perfect spoken English and also for such an informative vid. I have a pi400 and a very old Amiga 500+, which needs recapped. But I hope to emaulate the Amiga via the Pi400 which has been proven to be a good way to do so. I have used the Pi400 for many things and it proves that you do not need a powerful PC for Internet use and other general daily tasks. I have a myriad of PCs, but the pi400 still has its uses. Thanks again.
So nice of you to say. Not my native language so there is a bit of accent there, but do my best at it. The 400 is indeed a good one. It is a bit better than the 4 because of the good passive cooling. And the form factor is very much a nudge to good old days as well with everything "in the keyboard case".
That video was very helpfull. I really like it! Tank you very much! Cheers!
Glad you liked it :)
I do approve Pi 400 with Pimiga and with AGS 2 launcher, not sure about anything else though
Thanks! I've just become subscriber 900 of your channel.
Oh wow. Thats a milestone. If I ever reach 1000 I need to do something special to celebrate.. Thanx for telling and following.
For me Amiga Forever and a decent laptop done... works great and there are cheap laptops everywhere that will do a great job.
Another great video Proteque. I found it interesting. So what happened at the end of the vid ? Don't leave us hanging......have you encountered a new keyboard issue ? Or did it fix itself after a reboot ? Keep up the great work on your Amiga vids !
A big part of the keyboard stopped working. Hehe. If you remember the donor machine for this it was crushed and the keyboard was bent. My guess is membrane problems. But will need to investigate. The fault is indeed permanent.
Interesting case, very clever. Also clever putting a Gotek in the external case 🤝🥇 Ooohhh is that a custom Serotina keyboard?
I would love that Serotina keyboard. Have considered trying to build one, but is a few small surface mounted stuff I am not sire I would be able to solder. This is just a normal a500 keyboard with extended cables. Thanx for ths comment! Did a build video about the case and the keyboard id interested.
Should probably remove the beer when shaking the desk :D
Haha yes. Noticed it while editing. Some high waves going on there.
Great video. Your PC has me intrigued, what spec PC are you using?
Thank you :) That PC is a bit overkill for its use. It is my old workstation in there. A i7 based motherboard with 32 GB of ram. As I don't need a proper graphics card in that computer I save some heat and use the intel graphic chipset in the cpu.
Thanks for this but I could not get it to work on WB 3.2.2.1. When I added the icon.library in Startup-Sequence it would not boot WB and prompt that it was already running. I remove the line from Startup-Sequence but no improvement in Chip RAM. 😩
Oh. Sadly I don't have 3.2.2.1 i stalled to test myself, so I havent tried it on that version. Hope someone shows up with a comment with some tip for you.
@@proteque I got it working w/ WB 3.2.2.1.... IconLib_46.4.lha includes a FBlit configuration file in \ThirdParty\FBlit\FBlit.cfg_WB_3.1.4+, without it FBlit is useless. Replace the one in Sys:Prefs/Env-Archive, rename it then reboot. EAB: "FBlit and Ftext installation Help" 🙂
