Code: Select all

execute "AGS:Run/Game/ReshootProxima3"

The game folder is stored in: Data/WHD/G/R/ReshootProxima3

Point the execute command to the binary you run to start the game. And, I highly recommend doing all this on Saves: so it will survive upgrading the main HDF.

Re: Add Games to MegaAGS?

The easiest way to add games that will survive upgrades is to use the “Favorite” function on an existing game, and edit those files to point at your new install (also put that one on MegaAGS-Saves.hdf to make it survive upgrades. So, roughly, something like this: Install your game using the HD installer, put it somewhere on Saves: From the launcher...

Re: AmigaVision (MegaAGS) 2023.07.17 Released with Improved Launcher Reliability

I wonder if MegaAGS for Pocket could be split up into 3 games hdf, 4GB each, plus the one hdf for saves, to get more games on Pocket. I know there’s the 4GB hdf limit on Pocket but it does allow mounting 4 hdf simultaneously. 3 separate hdf would give 12 GB for games. It might be enough for all the games. Yes, we did experiment with a configuratio...

Re: The “Cycle Accurate” Conundrum and Is There a List of Cores That Are?

I know and I used it, but it breaks a bit the experience to launch an emulator, even an accurate one. My message was in general that some computer cores could improve. Fully agreed! That being said, besides the startup Mac chime, it should launch straight into Mac OS, and you shouldn’t see any Amiga-related bits when you start it up. At least the ...

Re: So What Happened in 2023?

They are roughly comparable, the Amiga core is about the same as a 68030 running at 50 MHz, the LC III/III+ was an ’030 at 25/33 MHz.

(And yes, as many YouTube videos will point out, the fastest Classic Mac ever was… an Amiga. You could run Shapeshifter on a 68060, which was never possible on the Mac itself)

Re: The “Cycle Accurate” Conundrum and Is There a List of Cores That Are?

E.g. while minimig core is close to cycle accurate for the most common of the amiga chipsets, the MiSTer framework doesn’t support all of the io features of the original hardware. For example you can’t use applications that require multi-mouse input (like multiplayer Lemmings and Settlers). Agreed that features like this are more important for the...

Re: The “Cycle Accurate” Conundrum and Is There a List of Cores That Are?

Mostly agree for Mister overall but the A1200 example is well outside the bounds of "good enough." Its much faster than the real thing, like a turbo switch you can't shut off, which causes much software to run very differently. In another thread it is written that the Amiga1200 core is running too fast... somebody know if that is true? I...

Re: Amiga VGA Output Should it Fill The Screen?

The whole PAL vs NTSC thing is a bit of a rabbit hole anyway. It's not always crystal clear what the intended resolution was supposed to be, and then you also have the nostalgia factor clouding the issue.

This is actually how it is in PAL on real hardware. And MiSTer displays 1:1 Amiga image over analogue. Most micros had borders but the image was more or less centered, Amiga is an a exception. Examples: 1 2 3 Indeed — except for #2 in your examples, that’s a game from a US game publisher (Electronic Arts), and should be run in NTSC. It will then f...

Re: Minimig with Amigavision and Aspect Ratio Correction

Third, unfortunately, "Jim Sachs mode" has a complication. As far as I can tell the concept that Amiga NTSC Low-res (320x200) has a 5:6 PAR is derived by stretching 320x200 into a 4:3 frame, now it's 320x240, done... I wish things were that easy...

How do you set up the core for testing?

I use the “Amiga CD32 Setup for MiSTer” that is on archive.org. It boots CD32 Emulator and then you just mount the CHD in the second IDE menu. Has an MGL for putting in Consoles too.
