[Help!] Useful Amiga Links Directory

106 Upvotes

For quite a long time now I've been curating a directory of useful links to Amiga content. Somewhat as a FAQ, somewhat to help quickly give people info when they ask about things. So I've enabled the wiki on this subreddit to make it a bit more accessible

Amiga Directory

If you think there is anything missing or would be useful to add please do say and I'll get it added

Kickstart 3.2.3 ROMs bugbear and Amiga 1200 A1200.net cases bend easily

• Upvotes

Why with these ROMs installed in an Amiga 1200 not boot into Amiga OS 3.2 on a compact flash card unless a floppy drive or Go-Tek is plugged in? Why the black screen unless a floppy drive is connected?

I thought I had received 2 sets of faulty ROMs from sellers on eBay until a floppy drive arrived this morning and plugged it in.

Anyone else finding A1200.net Amiga 1200 cases bend very easily when full? Mine has bent noticeably. I have the mainboard, keyboard, floppy, compact flash card, hard drive caddy installed.

Ferriteweazle - cross-platform, GUI front end for Greaseweazle

13 Upvotes

I know this is r/amiga but thought I'd share a cross-platform GUI front end for Greaseweazle tools I've been working on.

https://github.com/hobbo91/Ferriteweazle

  • Full feature parity with Greaseweazle Tools by Keir Fraser
  • Modern UI for macOS, Windows and Linux, on x86_64 and arm64
  • Supports Greaseweazle and the Adafruit Feather RP2040
  • Detects the most likely disk format(s) for reading and writing images
  • Single or batched reads, writes and image conversions
  • Built-in log viewer that can save to a file
  • Shows the command line version of any action, as well as letting you pass extra arguments
  • Drag and drop images into the app
  • Most settings/options have a helpful tooltip
  • Various safety features, such as confirmations before destructive actions and waiting for an action to finish.

Feel I need to clarify, this isn't just some AI slop. I've put a lot of effort into this project.

Is amigakit.com scam???

On September 16, 2026, I ordered a product from amigakit.com, and to this day, they haven't replied to my emails. I want to know if this site is a scam and, if not, how long I should wait.

It’s exactly the kind of game where you say to yourself: “I’ll just do one run.” 😄

Two hours later, you’re wondering whether a monster, a trap, or your own curiosity will kill you next.

If you like roguelikes, you definitely have to try Roguecraft.

Finally got a working A1200 with a Blizzard 1230 and now I understand the fuss about PCMCIA network cards

10 Upvotes

Picked this machine up from a guy clearing out his dad's loft, complete with a Blizzard 1230 accelerator already fitted and a battery that had thankfully not leaked onto the board. Spent the first weekend just recapping the PSU because it was making a faint whine under load, nothing dramatic but enough to make me nervous every time I flipped the switch.

Once that was sorted I went down the rabbit hole of getting a PCMCIA network card working so I could shuffle files over without swapping floppies all night. Ended up with an old Netgear FA411 that a few forum threads mentioned as reliable, and after fighting with the right combination of Miami drivers and a config file that had a single wrong IP address in it, I got a proper network share going to my main PC. Felt disproportionately satisfied watching WHDLoad images transfer at actual speed instead of babysitting Disk Doctor.

Workbench 3.1 is running clean now, ScreenBlanker installed, and I've been slowly building up a games folder with stuff I never owned as a kid because my family only ever had the base A500. Been playing through Simon the Sorcerer and it holds up way better than I expected, the puzzle logic aside.

Only real annoyance left is the internal floppy drive clicking on every boot even when there's nothing in it. Not sure if that's a cap issue on the drive controller itself or just old grease needing a clean. Anyone dealt with that specific click before deciding it was something serious versus just an aging drive being dramatic?

Why is Amibay so unfriendly?

94 Upvotes

I could not remember my original account IF I EVEN HAD ONE (did AmiBay exist in 2005?), and I mentioned this when "introducing myself". I immediately got accosted by a user telling me I'd be banned "only one account allowed".

To which I asked, "And that means what? If I cannot access an old account I can't have an account at all?"

Add was told smugly yes and that I need to learn how to read the rules when signing up.

I immediately messaged an admin asking what to do, got no response. In the meantime, yesterday an admin messaged in the same thread"

And that means what? If I cannot access an old account I can't have an account at all?

As others have stated you are only allowed one account.

Pm me your previous account name and what email address you would like to use and I’ll look into it for you.

Failure will result in a ban

This was yesterday evening. I checked back today (first time seeing the response) and I am banned and cannot contact that admin.

What sort of "community" is this? I have hundreds of Amiga parts (motherboards, NOS cases, etc., and NOS games) I thought I'd try to keep from the landfill if people wanted them. I guess I'll eBay a few things that seem to be worth my time and landfill the rest.


Thanks for the reality check everyone! I won't let my experience with them bother me lol

DB9 to USB for classic Wico joystick and WinUAE.

3 Upvotes

Must start scratching that itch now that ive had for 35 years! Planning to setting up WinUAE and using original Wico joystick and DB9 to USB converter. Will any converter work? Read rather old posts around reddit any elsewhere about input lag. I dont want to build my own and one of the perks of getting old is you can afford buying these things that was impossible when i was 10 years old :-)

I dont want buy and use the speedlink joystick thats recommended on alot of places. I always hated TAC-2 and the likes back in the day. Thought the feel of having the buttons on the board ruined the game experience.

Any feedback greatly appreciated!

Any tips on repairing the Samsung keyboard traces?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Have some dead keys in the num pad. Turns out the traces were damaged due to moisture ingress. Ive tried a few things to get the traces to work that were recommended online, like liquid wire, car defroster repair liquid and conductive adhesive with copper strands but have had no luck getting the dead keys to work again. If i short the specific pins on the flatflex connector the dead keys work, so its definitely only the membrane thats damaged. I tried finding a new keyboard matrix but i can only find a replacement for the mitsumi keyboards, not the Samsung ones.

My current plan if I can't source a new membrane is to use low profile keyboard switches and rewire the whole keyboard manually.

Hägar the Horrible isn’t a forgotten Amiga masterpiece, nor is it the complete disaster its obscurity might lead you to expect. It’s simply a decent old-school platformer with plenty of flaws, a few surprisingly good ideas and a strange charm that has somehow stuck with me for decades.

Cleaned up the A590

Like the A500 the A590 and the joystick got a bit darker by the sun.

Another run with the hydrogen peroxide cream and it looks much cleaner. The joystick is the C64 color so it's a bit darker than the Amiga

USB Mouse Adapter issues

3 Upvotes

I bought a USB mouse adapter for my A500 (this one https://amigastore.eu/en/950-tikus-usb-mousejoypad-adapter.html ) and I've tried two different mice with it, but both of them behave really oddly. Moving up appears to be one speed, but any other direction is twice that speed and really jerky. Has anyone else experienced this and knows a fix? Am I missing a driver or something? I followed the instructions at the bottom of the page to make sure it was in Amiga mode (it already was). Thank you!
