Fallen in love with this channel. I have been transported back to the early to mid 90s, some of the best days in my life. The best games, best friends, best days out. Days when I used to spend 2 hr on a bus with mates to go to Manchester, go round the Arndale and games shops (even Games Workshop) get a cheeseburger at McDonalds, walk up to Afflecks Palace and float around there, get back to the bus station, bus back to Rochdale, then on to where I lived just outside, get home with a buddy or go to his house, stick on the Amiga/Megadrive and bust out a full length sesh on SOR2 or Gunstar Heroes, or take turns on Cannon Fodder. I don't know if there are groups of people who get together and basically revert to 1993 and being 11 by playing games and watching 90's videos but I would LOVE to either attend something like that or get it going.
I'm sure someones said this already but just as an extra bit of info. The Amiga 500 Mini has a 68030 CPU according to SysInfo whilst the A600 is 68000 whilst stock. The Mini has more RAM Slow and Fast and also booting from HDD installed games vs floppy images hence the differences in speed and frame rate. Of course you can upgrade the A600 CPU and RAM with an accelerator.
I also think the emulator used is on turbo sitting as saving your own whdload games are hit n miss, plus that's why some older games won't work be better if we had more control sittings
Gemma, regarding the games which are not working on your A600 is because of compatibility issues due to bad programming back in the day. These games are mostly coded to work on A500 with Kickstart 1.3 and 512mb fast ram memory expansion. I recommend you to get compact flash IDE-adapter with compact flash card as hard drive solution. Then get budget accelerator like Furia 33 that comes fast ram expansion. After that you can install Amiga OS and WHDLoad software for your A600 and run the same WHDLoad patched games on A600 (mostly) without any issues as The A500 mini does. Get OS3.2 and Kickstart ROM upgrade as well. Consider getting OS expansion such as ClassicWB on top of Amiga OS as it gives you pretty much all the tools you need on AmigaOS. Believe me, you wont regret upgrade like this. I am sure that the guys at RetroPassion can help you again to get this all done very quickly.
I'm definitely lapping up this Amiga content - great work! 😉 Has anyone noticed that some games on the A500 Mini skip past the developer logo's and goes straight to the menu? One that comes to mind is Pinball Dreams which is preloaded on the Mini but I'm sure I've seen others that bypasses all the developer logos/ details.
Im not sure if you were trying to trigger me on purpose but I heard you say a few times throughout the video "the A600 mini" and the "A500". It was often hard to tell what you were saying because you were getting confused with these similar sounding products. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Im an old Amiga kid from way back so I understood which machine would likely have longer load times, but just letting you know.
600's are the perfect cute bedroom computers for retrogaming IMO only problem is display options, you either have a CRT TV and use the comp, a proper RGB CRT monitor, or you're lucky enough to have an internal scandoubler like the Indivision ECS but they're all sold out everywhere at the moment. I'm guessing most people in 2022 just wanna hook a LCD monitor up to one.
Interesting video especially as this is literally what I have. Just bought a mini despite having spent a fortune on an A600 with a gotek.... Sometimes you just can't help yourself... I know you'll understand 😀
By watching this I realized that GoTek Drive is another way to fix broken Amiga floppy drive! Nice info! But loading time of some games reminded me how it was common to make coffee when game was loading..
I just recently found your channel and I love it! We can't get an A500 mini in Canada, as far as I can tell, except for using the US version of Amazon, and they say it's not released until May 31! Argh. I can't wait!
In stuntcar racer the Amiga 500 mini has better frame rate. Load times might be worse but its clear as night and day that the frame rate is much better.
Nice video, Gemma! Are there any machines you don't have that you want to get? Maybe you should make a video about them if you haven't already! And maybe one about what machines you currently own. I only recently found your channel so I don't know what you own and what you don't yet, though I see you don't have a CD-I yet. Maybe some day! Have you got an Atari ST? There's arguably not much point with the Amigas you own, but could make for some interesting content and attract new audiences. I found your channel through the Amiga A500 Mini in case you were wondering! Though I've watched some of your other videos as well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks JM. Ooohh in terms of machines I would like! I’d say a Panasonic Q. I don’t know much about the CDi as I didn’t grow up with it. Perhaps I need to do some research 🧐
@@TheGebs24 A Panasonic Q would be a good one! I've had a go on a CD-I ages ago, but haven't owned one yet. I'd like to get Hotel Mario at least. I edited my original post and it removed your like - I didn't know that was a thing! Kind of makes sense though I guess since there's a small minority of dodgy people on here.
I presume she doesn't set her tv to 4:3 for the A600 i've seen her do other old consoles in ugly stretch o vision, some people are fine with that, personally it drives me nuts and must be original 4:3, but each to their own. She can do what she likes obviously.
Gebs - did you make sure you compared pal vs pal, not pal vs ntsc? That may give distorted results as ntsc would be faster. Amiga games, via Gotek / emulation, requires you to try different versions. The Amiga can run WHDLoad, HDF and lha files. Try different ones.
Do you happen to be using a SCART to HDMI converter on the Amiga 600? It took me a while to realise I needed to press the button on the box until it was in a 4:3 aspect ratio like 800x600 or 1024x768 @50hz… that will stop the Amiga 600 screen being stretched to fit the widescreen 16:9 as seen here in this video. Otherwise the TV remote needs to change aspect ratio to 4:3 for the Amiga 600
@@TheGebs24 Ahh cool! So do you run straight into the TV with the yellow ‘composite’ cable / rca plug? Is that the same way you hook up to your capture device too? If it’s stretched automatically when on your TV you should be able to fix that by changing the ‘Aspect Ratio’ setting from 16:9 to 4:3… also before you invest in any Amiga to HDMI converter send me a message as I have been down the rabbit hole and have some good info ;) If I can help a fellow Amigan anytime too easy. Great content as always- it’s been a while since I have been around
Some games run too fast on the A500 mini, but there is an easy fix (at least until Retro Games Ltd releases a proper fix). You need to find your game in on the flash drive and find its corresponding uae file. Edit the file using notepad in Windows and add a line just under the memory configuration that says: cpu_speed=real Once you've done that, save the file. Now the next time you run the game it should perform at the correct speed. If you can't find a game's uae file, you need to make one. Easiest way to do that is to go to your game on the mini and change one of the settings (it doesn't matter which one). This will then create an uae file for that game.
I've got the original Amiga 500 with Gotek love it more then the A500 mini......my reasons are...older games run great on the original hardware, Buggy Boy and few others run to quick on the mini and have to add a txt line just to to slow it down, plus also can't get some older games to load up as stuck on intro screen.....but for aga games the mini plays them well, let's hope for a firmware update soon to fix some of these bugs, "A500 mini is more of a quick casual gaming" in my eyes as original 500 will play all the old classics with no hiccups and will just work without messing about with sittings but won't get the aga games....that's where the A500 mini is good and that's aga games but still that cropped screen
Hi Gem Play ‘Warhead’ by Glyn Williams. Recommend turning the lights down low and crank up the sound a bit, for one of the best atmospheric intros appearing out of the blackness and for the most foreboding music theme that I ever recall on the Amiga ! This is a 3D space patrol and combat game, that I found a lot more accessible than the “Elite” space patrol game. Also fan of the Novagen 3D aspect games. The space mission ‘Mercenary’ game and the ‘Damocles’ sequels. Check them out, as they have absorbing missions. Full of Easter Eggs, gaming in jokes and more jokes at the expense of governments of the day. The most impressive performant 3D shoot ‘em up games on the hardware from Novagen are “Battlezone” like games ‘Encounter’, fast on a C64 and better again on Amiga, then outdoing that with ‘Backlash’. How they got these two games to go so fast on the hardware back then, is gob smacking … sadly Paul Woakes of Novagen who authored many of these great games, passed away July 2017.
I loved Warhead. Amazing game and the intro was excellent. Warhead was sort of a spiritual prequel to the PC space sim game I-War(Independence War in the USA). I believe the audio in the intro was actually created by Michael Powell, who later partnered with Glyn Williams to form the studio Particle Systems. Michael Powell is better known in Amiga circles for creating the futuristic racing game Powerdrome and the sci-fi sub game Subwar 2050.
Speed, you are comparing a fast emulator with a 30year old 7MHz Computer. Ofcourse some of the games won’t load on your Amiga 600, as you are emulating floppy load WITH kick 2.x that’s a really bad combination for sure, either use relokick 1.3 or better just switch out to real kickstart 1.3. Now compare game play with a proper Amiga joystick vs that awful joypad. Compare sound quality of the Paula chip vs the emulator. Put in 030 and load games from flash disk in your Amiga 600 with whdload and check out compatibility and loading speed, now that’s fair comparison. Wish you a great day
You run many screens in wrong aspect. When you compare Zool, Stunt car and the other games the screen is stretched on A600. You should set the TV, monitor to 4:3 to get correct picture. Regarding Stunt Car racer it will be faster on Mini since it is vector gfx. The same will happen if you play Stunt Car racer on Amiga 1200. The other games you compare would not benefit from faster hardware than Amiga 500 or Amiga 600 that is basically the same computer. Something is very wrong with the sych. with the sound fx when you play Pinball Dreams on the Mini.
Amiga 500 mini is always going to be faster as it's emulation. But it's wayyyyyyyy behind the Amiga 600. Mini is good but Ya will never beat original hardware. Ditch the gotek and use a proper floppy drive always better
With Zool, the A600 is running ECS version and the A500 Mini is running the AGA version. You cannot really compare to be honest. Sorry! Love the channel though.
really want scanlines? You can always purchase a HDMI TO Composite video converter and connect it on Your 1084S monitor. I am not really in the need for scanlines, You don"t want Tan-Lines eighter do You? ;)
I got my a500 hundreds of floppys 💾 in new case holders (some boxed plus amiga 500 manuals boxed but missing the powebrick need new one) trying get sold ebay but zero interest unbelievably lol.. bought a mini and did own USB stick and love it

Ofcourse some of the games won’t load on your Amiga 600, as you are emulating floppy load WITH kick 2.x that’s a really bad combination for sure, either use relokick 1.3 or better just switch out to real kickstart 1.3.
Now compare game play with a proper Amiga joystick vs that awful joypad.
Compare sound quality of the Paula chip vs the emulator.
Put in 030 and load games from flash disk in your Amiga 600 with whdload and check out compatibility and loading speed, now that’s fair comparison.
Wish you a great day
Obviously 🙄
It was just a bit of fun 🤩
You run many screens in wrong aspect. When you compare Zool, Stunt car and the other games the screen is stretched on A600. You should set the TV, monitor to 4:3 to get correct picture. Regarding Stunt Car racer it will be faster on Mini since it is vector gfx. The same will happen if you play Stunt Car racer on Amiga 1200. The other games you compare would not benefit from faster hardware than Amiga 500 or Amiga 600 that is basically the same computer. Something is very wrong with the sych. with the sound fx when you play Pinball Dreams on the Mini.
I love your videos, but I reckon its time for a camera upgrade to 4k, Gemma in 4k :P
1080p is done for YT. It takes AGES to upload and not everyone has enough bandwidth to watch 4K ☺️
Did you swap the disk when the turrican screen flashed blue?
Tried all sorts yep
Amiga 500 mini is always going to be faster as it's emulation. But it's wayyyyyyyy behind the Amiga 600. Mini is good but Ya will never beat original hardware. Ditch the gotek and use a proper floppy drive always better
Well as luck has it…. Well I’ll ask if you heard my comment about my Amiga 500 bundle?
With Zool, the A600 is running ECS version and the A500 Mini is running the AGA version. You cannot really compare to be honest. Sorry! Love the channel though.
Yup. This is not a digital foundry comparison. Just a bit of fun
really want scanlines? You can always purchase a HDMI TO Composite video converter and connect it on Your 1084S monitor.
I am not really in the need for scanlines, You don"t want Tan-Lines eighter do You? ;)
🤣🤣 Gotta love scanlines
Nice Girl. Nice content
🎮🕹👍🏼😊
I got my a500 hundreds of floppys 💾 in new case holders (some boxed plus amiga 500 manuals boxed but missing the powebrick need new one) trying get sold ebay but zero interest unbelievably lol.. bought a mini and did own USB stick and love it
if you want to test the speed of the AMIGA MINI : test "VROOM" from LANKHOR ......very impressive F1 game !!!!
