Me acabo de dar cuenta que la última vez que re-comencé la aventura gráfica #monkeyisland3 #TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland fue en 2009, hace 16 años !!!
Ahora en 2025 estoy ya por fin quitándome esta espina.
Lo curioso es que lo sé porque me he encontrado archivos de entonces en una memory card
Lo jugaba en #amiga AmigaOS 4.1. Compré un server de segunda mano por 20€ que encendía por el día
diaonline.es era el dominio. Por la noche no funcionaba porque sonaba mucho y daba calor.
Boing Attitude sera présent au NASS, un rassemblement Amiga qui se tiendra à Surgères (Charente-Maritime) les 25, 26 et 27 juillet. Rendez-vous là-bas !
[Boing Attitude will be attending NASS, an Amiga gathering taking place in Surgères (Charente-Maritime) on July 25th, 26th, and 27th. See you there!]
I just bought my tickets for the #Amiga40 anniversary in Germany! Yay! Amigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
New video! Attempting to repair an Amiga 500 board that I already tried to resurrect years ago.

With Send2adf and ADF.inder, macOS users are provided with two small programs with which all files in a selected directory can be written to an ADF file or the contents of an ADF file can be displayed.
Meanwhile, the A502/16 is ready for its first "smoke" test: after checking for a complete GND / +5V short, I plugged it into a current-limited bench power-supply, and it seems to sink 160mA (0.8W). Seems sane.
I don't have an Amiga 500 here in Tokyo, but I'll take the board with me on my next trip to Italy and hopefully it will work just fine (aside for the missing realtime clock, if you care about it).
I used hot air at 400°C to desolder the most corroded chip, and noticed while cleaning the goo off the pads that one of them was completely gone.
The damaged pin happens to be the D line (the only data bit of this 512Kx1 DRAM). So I reconnected it to a trace on the bottom by threading hair thin transformer wire through the original vias 
The other card has no obvious vendor name other than a typoed "MAED IN TAIWAN" notice on the silkscreen.
This is the first 512K expansion card I see using SMD 256Kx1 RAM chips. The bottom side is also badly corroded and might require reconstructing a few traces with transformer wire (which I have already bought just in case).
My other friend from Tokyo gave me a couple more of these corroded A501 clones for soldering practice.
He told me that they're not worth rescuing, but I'm still being careful to avoid further damage and possibly reapair them.
The first one is this A502/16, very similar to the Commodore design. The corroded RTC socket in the front easily came off with the hot air gun, but unclogging the holes required high temperature and damaged some of the corroded pads.
I had never seen a real A501 before. several cheap 512KB expansions circulated in the late 80's and early 90's.
Back in January, an Italian friend gave me this obscure clone made in Italy by Tecnodata, with a leaky Varta still attached 
This card isn't even listed in Amiga Hardware Database, and I couldn't find any information on it.
After some scrubbing I got it to work briefly. Then the #Amiga 500 crashed and now it won't detect the RAM at boot 
At last night's Tokyo Hackerspace open night, a friend came with this original #Commodore A501, a 512KB DRAM expansion for the "trapdoor" slot of the #Amiga 500:

Like many A501, this card has been badly corroded by the alcaline solution leaked by the Ni-Cd clock battery.
New Amiga game engine: Sevgi Engine
Sevgi Engine is a new open source video game engine which provides the required tools and generates the boilerplate code to create high performing Amiga games using only the C programming language. It is built around the ScrollingTricks archive by Georg Steger:

We have also interviewed the developer!
Celebrating my 100th video!
Some truly amazing fellow Retro computing YouTubers have contributed to this video, answering my question, “What would you code?”.
You don’t want to miss this. 
Finally got the correct SD card and keyboard for the Vampire V4. Finecky little thing that...
Now it's onto backing everything up before I start playing with it...in case...you know... I end up breaking a thing or two... 
Preview video: New e-mail client "AMail"
A fortnight ago Ryan 'bluewizard' Stapleton had already presented his project in a first video: "AMail" is to be a modern e-mail client for AmigaOS 3.2 that supports IMAP and SMTP. The second video now published shows how the client communicates with its local IMAP server and sends emails via SMTP.
I have posted a video of my latest demo of my #Amiga email program AMail.
Version 0.0.3 can talk to my local IMAP server and send email via SMTP. Still a LOT to go but progress.
I wanted to share and hope you enjoy!
