If you like Commodore Amiga games, have a look at this English Amiga Board thread, featuring @Silvermoon's game banners…

Thanks to the lovely request from @vanacksabbadium I present to you my latest work.
Feast your eyes on the Shadow of the Beast 3 banner. 😊
I might actually do the banners for the part 1 and 2 as well, so stay tuned. 🙂

@Silvermoon @vanacksabbadium Nice! Brings back sweet youngster-age memories.

Are these banners used on an Amiga site yet, such as Abime.net?

Silvermoon,
@Silvermoon@graphics.social avatar

@metin Thank you.
The banners are not used on Abime.net (would be nice to be honest). I am posting them on the English Amiga Board forum (https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=114186) and there people can look at them and share them around. Few people used the banners on their websites, one made a pretty collage combining few of them. I make and share them for the viewing pleasure, but if anyone wants to use them I will be more than happy. 😊

Someone's just listed an Amiga 1200 locally for … $2100 🇨🇦 (~ €1400 / £1200 / $1500 🇺🇸)

@WTL it's got an accelerator, but not much more

@scruss 🤔 060? Amiga's did hold value well, but that's pushing it.

CVG 140 - July 1993 (UK) has just been added to the magazine catalogue.

Another issue that I was able to finish thanks to buying a new copy from Mort as my old one was missing the beautiful poster inside.

And yes, this one is 164 pages so it clocks in at just under 500MB. :blobcatscared:

From the archive…

3D intro illustration for our coder's music editor Syntrax (a.k.a. Jaytrax), published in the early 2000s as an unofficial Windows and Pocket PC sequel to our old music editors SIDmon and Digital Mugician.

You can listen to some Syntrax tracks here (my favorite is King Tut)…

[ Side note: I didn't design the Syntrax UI ]

I have a really big wish to create related videos on YouTube, but I am having a hard time figuring out the required free time the extra production will take (I already have one YT channel). And everyone told me not to mix topics on one channel because viewers hate that.

@darth Try it. What’s the worst thing that can happen? “Everyone told me” is just mind shackles.

darth,
@darth@silversword.online avatar

@OnceUponAGoblin did you see my Linux channel? What worries me is that Amiga content isn’t a good fit in there and that it would ruin my Linux channel growth and that I should put Amiga content in new/different channel.

The OCS version of Simon The Sorcerer is quite impressive! I only have the PC CD version here, but luckily ADFs are readily available...

@root42 is it better in colors than the PC version?

root42,
@root42@chaos.social avatar

@xadox no… VGA had 256 colors. Amiga 32 to 64-ish when using half brite mode. But the Amiga was a machine from 1985. so the achievement per se is pretty impressive.

Hello crowd brain.

I'd like to publish a mod file on a adf disc image for fun.
My search engine queries didn't bring much usable up.

I'd like it to be a self-booting adf disc image that automatically starts a minimal mod player (ideally not bigger than 50kb) running my mod.

So I need know-how in

  • (preparing a) bootable disc
  • kinda start script
  • mod player that runs a mod from command line
  • (or something that converts my mod into an executable that I can autostart)

I'm a Linux sys admin by profession, so I hope I'd understand some basic stuff on the Amiga ;) - on the other hand I have no experience with it. Kickstart 3.x and 1.3 roms and corresponding Workbenchs I have (emulated).

Any help / hints / links to tutorials would help a lot. Anything specific to the point would be a bless. Thank you!

And I realized does have a color cycling feature just like in , but Grafx2 does not support separate color cycling ranges.

In fact, it only has one color cycling range compared to, say, DPaint III's six separate ranges.

(Deluxe Paint IV has an impressive eight individual color cycling ranges!)

Leaving this here, just in case someone like @fractalkitty or some other alien, ghost, or geek comes across some notion about doing palette cycling for a bit of change of pace, after having looked at Deluxe Paint: https://pulkomandy.tk/projects/GrafX2/downloads?order=platform&desc=
