I have same version.. but don't test from a long time..

Damn, 32 years in and around the Demoscene and this is the first time I have seen OktaMed in action. Hell yeah! Thanks for the great video. Edit: And if anyone has any doubt how much more there is to this story, he did not even mention any of the trackers I used on PC between 1992 and 1997, hahaha. ModEdit, Whacker Tracker, and MultiTracker, roughly in that order of chronology and enjoyablility :) (MultiTracker really deserves to be remembered for its 32-channel capabilities alone)

I have a ROM Switcher with switch thanks to Pillock now on the rear. So switching ROMS will be easy. Great video and choice of music to accompany the build!

If I'd have known you were doing this, I'd have lent you my control box for my A2000 AR :D

I had no idea they went that far back

Honestly doing the Lord's work for the retro community and for no monetary profit whatsoever. Absolutely stellar stuff! 👏👏👏

I have a Bpxed Action Replay for the Amiga 2000...gonna dig it out. -Mark,

Have you checked the 555-like timer's output? I've seen 555s fail in bizarre ways, it wouldn't surprise me if this failed too.

Thanks Rob excellent video. I had an Action Replay cartridge on my C64 it was great. Cheers

I just checked the control for my Mk2 The wiper of the 10K pot is connected to pin 1 on the main board (that you have labelled POT) One side of the pot (the anticlockwise end) is connected to pin 9 on the main PCB (you have labelled 5V) The other side of the pot is left floating, no connection The SLOMO toggle switch connects pin 2 to GND when in the ON position I tested the real world connections with a multimeter on continuity

For newer kickstarts, you might want to take a gander at HRTMon. I believe it can even listen out for hardware interupts.

I think there are some "patched" rom versions in existance which allow the AR to at least co-exist with later ks versions - mind you not fully function but at least not prevent the amiga from working/booting. Ofc that would require re-programming the roms (assuming you could find such a patched rom) - and you would still need to kickstart switch back to 1.3 to get full functionality from the AR.

Yes I had the Amiga 2000 version, I know I’ve still got it, not 100% sure where. I need to look. I was thinking about it the other week when I saw the holes I’d drilled in the back of the case for the button :)

Do you know why it required KS1.3?

There's a thread at A1K where they're completely reversing the AR III - it's been going for a while now, although the main reason is repairing old ARs. They are still missing one of the GALs. There is talk of a working CPLD version, but it's not available. Thread title is: Action Replay Mk III (A500) Schaltplan / Repro

I can't attach images , but I think the pot is used as a voltage divider +5v one end and ground on the other with the wiper to the signal wire .

Ihave a complete A500 and an A2000 action replay . I will have a look and attach some pics .

exactly my kind of amiga stuff - floppies and freezers

1990 I had use the action replay for Pc's too. i have later use this versions external controller for the action replay of the amiga 500 converted for my A2000 by a self made adapter card 😆

I had one for my lesser spotted A1500 😊

great video - I didn't know of this device. I just visited the site to buy one but it seems they've run out and are busy making another batch.

Wait, what?! Please somebody slap me in the face! Unbelievable! Never expected that to happen in my Amiga veteran days, what a joy! o) Thank you for being the kind and smart person you are!

amazing!

floppy drives and it's media were never meant to last this long, but here we are 40 years later. But the media now is decaying to the point where the magnetic layer is stripping off the discs. You can have a brand new sealed in shrinkwrap boxed disks unopened and half of them refuse to format without bad sectors. That's discs that have had no use or wear with the drive head. No amount of cleaning is going to fix this. The drives themselves can have restorative maintainance replacing caps, regreasing worm screws and head cleaning, but the media for them is becoming increasingly unusable over time. Someone needs to start a kickstarter and re-manufacture some new media theres no other way around this.

Indeed a great animation video but I am unable to get most of the things because of fluent/fast English

Can it be applied to 9 people?

Thanks for doing this Rob. I can finally get rid of the buggy ADFOpus.

This is amazing Rob! Very well done

Hey, for a project instead of using a jack plug for the mic, im using a AITRIP INMP441 Omnidirectional Microphone and i was wondering which of the plugs i would connect it to there.

Life just got a little bit easier. Nice one Rob.

lol funny

while i never owned a 500, i did own a 600 and a heavily invested in a 1200, with HDD (a huge 6mb) 2nd floppy and the ram upgrade. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood.

Thank you for demonstrating every single one of the effects - this is a great reference.

"Which target diskformat do you want to use?" "The one I always use." "Unrecognized answer. Which diskformat do you want to use?" "Amiga FFS!!"

Ah, a fellow A500+ owner. :)

Unfortunately as 3-1/4" floppies are rare as hen's teeth being able to directly read them is not very useful 🙂

to bad it doesn't support pfs3

That is awesome! I've got boxes of Amiga and ST disks which I haven't looked at in years, I'll have to get a drive and give this a try, maybe I can finally make a set of Workbench disks for my Amiga 🙂

Beats any "But wait, there's more!" commercial I've ever seen. Fantastic work 👍👍

Fantastic work Rob! I've been using an old PC with a Catweasel and 32bit Win7 to image disks up to now. This will be a gamechanger.

It's better the original machine, the Minimig implementation in UnAMIGA haven't the PAL 28'37516Mhz Clock!

I am curious, how popular are amiga computers today? Are they used for anything other than as a hobby?

Fantastic job, Rob! This will come very handy. You are the best! ♥

I remember as a kid I often used to ask my father whether we could load our C64 diskettes on his Pentium 200. Would have loved to see this being back then, so I am glad for everyone who can still make use of this i.E. indie devs :)

Wow! Very nice work!

Fantastic. I always wished there was something like Style DirMaster for Amiga disks. This looks like the next best thing. Thanks!

Back in the day there was a great Windos95 program called ADF Opus that was similar although it did not have as many features. I am delighted that you have brought interoperability tools into the modern era. Thank you for what you do. I also encourage you to make a Linux version.

Superb, why didnt anyone else think of this in the kast 30 years?! 🙂

This is absolutely amazing! What a fantastic suite of applications - it looks so polished! I hope that others embrace this and add further format support as this could be the one stop shop for any kind of disk format, whether for PC, Amiga, ST, Acorn, music sampler etc.
