Great Demo, top marks mate. I also loved Another world, Had it for my Super Nes and actually finally managed to finish it using a walkthrough back in 2003 lol. It was one tough cooky, short but very tough as you had to do exactly the right thing at the right time for every screen.
You have done some very amazing job :D I once tried doing some stick figure animation on Deluxe Paint IV but I got bored :D And If you really used the A500/A1000 mouse I gotta say you are one of the craziest guys in the whole world :)
I used the A1200 mouse and accuracy is even worse in older versions :D
@Smartzenegger I have three of those blocky ones and I think that accuracy is way better in A1200 mouse. But it also depends on condition. I keep all my Amiga stuff very clean :D And yeah comparing to 1980-1994 mouses Commodore provided the best ones :D
Actually not - with the cable connected and Amiga 1000 booted up with Workbench, it transfers the necessary program to the Amiga side via the cable :)
Btw. To transfer your images you could buy "Amiga Forever" from Cloanto, it would make it easy and simple - and I feel your great animation is worth the efforts :-) Good stuff!
Once installed on the Windows side, Amiga Explorer can self-install to the Amiga over the serial cable without requiring any additional software, but the Amiga must be able to boot first (e.g. with a Workbench disk, at least version 1.2.
hehe nice.. There was a tool on the PC called Deluxe Paint Animation that created .ANM files. Do you know if they are compatible to the animation file that you created with DP3 on the Amiga? Note, there was no DP3 on the PC, only DP2 enhanced and later DP Animation.
IFF is like the LBM format for DP2 on the PC. Some older graphics programs support that. I know that Paintshop pro (V3) can read them and even batch convert to whatever, such as PNG. So there was no special file format for animations for Deluxe Paint on the Amiga then, like the one on the PC. Interesting.
Great video and very nice animations! It would be really great to have this updated with sound effects. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga stores in the .anim format, and it is compatible with Dpaint Animation aswell. It is also compatible with "Pro Motion" by Cosmigo, which is todays DPaint clone on PC, even using many of the same shortcusts as Dpaint.
PLEASE don't throw this away or destroy it.

What's wrong with the original Amiga 1000 mouse? It's one of the best quality I ever seen.
Equal PC mouses of that time worn out 10 times before this one.
The only lame thing about this one is that it's either 75 or 150 dpi which makes lifting the mouse repeatedly necessary.

That's right.
I thought the game Another World was soo cool.
But I only had the first disk, so I didn't came far no matter what I did. :(

Yes.. please read what I wrote again :-) And check the website for Amiga Forever/Amiga Explorer - it explains it very well. Good luck :-)

Yes I looked it up, it says don't need software on Amiga side.
Guess it hacks the Amiga. :P
Thanks.

Thanks.
How do I use Amiga Forever, and how does it work?
Is it hardware or an Amiga floppy drive for the PC as USB device?

It is software and you just need a null-modem serial cable. Google for Amiga Forever / Amiga Explorer and you will find it :-)

if its just software, do I need software on the Amiga side too?

Well, all I know is that I can't transfer data directly from Amiga to pc without some compilcated stuff I don't have knowledge of.
All I know is that Deluxe Paint opens .IFF files.
I don't remember what file format extention the animated version had.
I know that IFF has lossless compression like PNG and the animated files where just like image packs, one frame is one IFF image (also compressed)

I don't know about that.
But I'm not saying there isn't a different file name extension than IFF for the animated ones.
I just don't recall. (it's been too long. sorry)
