  As some folks have asked, here's a playlist featuring videos showing the life journey of my A500, which became 'Big Red'. #amiga #retrocomputing https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSNRLH7GmYGfhlUJLguTO6b4CRJafNL8s&si=U9aPgoJOzgggBgZa

  The Final Mod for Big Red (my A500)? 🤔 Giving the machine HDMI out functionality. Easy right? Well, this did not go to plan, and was a challenge, but how did it all pan out? 😅 https://youtu.be/o1kKmHyfIUw #amiga #a500 #retrocomputing #bigred

  I was incredibly humbled to be invited to take part in this by @RobSmithDev Interviewing the amazing AMOS creator Francois Lionet was an incredible experience. https://youtu.be/JhEY5pqe5SQ?si=FaJJpz6V1924-HtR #amos #retrocomputing #amiga #atarist

  A new AMOS video, and I’m *finally* looking at Hardware Sprites! 😅
Starting off with looking at getting the colours right and 32 colours on a 16 colour screen. More AMOS witchcraft. 😱
 Look out for some famous faces (and voices) in this one. 😎

  I am behind on my next AMOS PRO video, but I *hope* to start filming this week with a w/c 20th release. 🤞 (The code has been created... 😱) #amiga #amos

  Back to AMOS for this video, and looking at getting more than 8 colours on screen for Dual Playfields. A bit of a hack, but common sense when you know how. 😅 Does this make game coding easier? 🤔 Check out the video and see for yourself. 😎 https://youtu.be/u1OJCKnjx18 #amiga #amos #retrocomputing

  A new video from me, looking at using the AMOS animation language, AMAL, to create Space Race Version 2, based on the arcade cabinet at The Retro Collective in Stroud. In this video I get things off the ground, so to speak. 😅 https://youtu.be/zQhNU1rfD6U #amiga #amos #retrocomputing #indiedev

  It’s AMOS time again, and also time to look at an editor for AMAL which is buried inside AMOS. How does it work? What is it for? Is it of any use? Writing AMAL can be fun. Check out the video. 😁 https://youtu.be/kQkT0fxZ0z0 #amiga #amos #indiedev #retrocomputing

  Join me as I re-visit the 6502 second processor on my BBC Master, and try to configure it correctly this time. 😅 This one’s about the *CONFIGURE command. Who would have thought? 🤔 https://youtu.be/UqZWCvDo4og #retrocomputing #bbcmaster #bbcmicrocomputer #1980s

  My video overview of the wonderful Workbench 2025 event, held at the end of October, including folks like Stoo Cambridge and Chris White (Amiga Outrun). A look at some new kit too. Join me as I walk around the event and check things out. 😎 https://youtu.be/6Dp0kIK5WMQ #amiga #swag #workbench2025

  @eliza Sorry, bad link on my part. Now reposted with the right link. 😁

  It’s another BBC Master video from me and in this one I’m taking a quick look at Word Processing 1980’s style using VIEW. Also, can we transfer a word processing document from the Master to a modern Mac? 🤔 Worth a try. 😁 https://youtu.be/0TwPnIhplDM #bbcmicrocomputer #acorn #retrocomputing

  A quick video where I look at the abilities of the PowerShark USB-C adaptor for the Amiga. Can it power each of my differing Amigas in turn? 🤔 I test it out on two A1200s and an A500, each with different power needs. #amiga #powershark https://youtu.be/PXPT-d4NpL0

  New AMOS video! 😎

 Ever wondered if there was another way to scroll screens on the Amiga in AMOS? 🤔 In this video I look at using AMAL & the Screen Offset command for smoother (-ish) screen scrolling. 😅 Source code available from my website https://youtu.be/dx-1HJQ23Ew

  I have reduced the amount for tips/support on my ko-fi page. Just saying, and thanks to everyone who has supported me this past year for the Amos videos I produce. 😁👍 https://ko-fi.com/yawningangel #amiga #amos #retrocomputing

  Not a festive video, but some free AMOS code utils if you’re interested. 😅 Convert Hardware and Screen coordinates with these two utility programs. Full details on how to get them in the video, along with showing what they actually do. 😎 https://youtu.be/yfBjQv-NgI0

  Spitfires & Amigas? Well, my A500 ‘Big Red!’ 😁
 In this video I fit an accelerator card to my A500, which will boost it to 14Mhz, and give 8Mb Ram while offering an IDE header. Too good to be true? Check out the video to find out. https://youtu.be/gQ2jtUyMAzg #amiga #retrocomputing

  A new AMOS video from me, this time all about trapping pesky errors in your code. Yep, it's all about error handling. 😁 #amiga #amos #retrocomputing https://youtu.be/N306iywd9kQ

  Looking at an SD card storage solution for my BBC Master (checking out the SD2BBC from @futurewas8bit ), & taking a detour into some graphics software along the way. AMX Art anyone? 🤔 Join me for another outing of the BBC Master. https://youtu.be/bh2qNthmzEU #retrocomputing #bbcmicrocomputer

  A new AMOS video from me, and I’m compiling, after installing the AMOS Pro Compiler that is!😅
 In this video I share my install process and experience of the AMOS Pro Compiler. 😎 https://youtu.be/RbWx0cbd134 #amiga #amos #retrocomputing

  Thanks to everyone who has boosted my late video post. I really do appreciate it. 😁

  Join me, a software guy, for a ‘very much hands on’ hardware video as I refurb an old external Gotek drive for my Amiga A500, ‘Big Red’. Trust me, it’s quite the journey, and has scenes of manual labour. 😱😅
