I would get that battery out of there asap . . . when they leak - they really do leak! Acid all over the motherboard is always bad! :(

@DrewPee70 That battery was replaced just after I made this video, over a year ago.

I'd love to get an Amiga, but so many of the games were released on PAL. There is a program called WHDLoad, but I don't know if it's legal.

[alexgameroom]

I think winuae is the best if you want to go down the emulation route, its free and legal. As RetroGamerVX said, I wouldn't worry about if its legal, the copyrights for most of the software have been abandoned now, one of the most famous software houses 'Team17' was allowing people to download there old amiga games direct from there site not so long ago.

[dave4shmups]

@alexgameroom I've heard winuae is the best Amiga emulator. But the Amiga Kickstart Roms are still copyrighted, if I'm not mistaken. And you need those for the emulator.

[alexgameroom]

@dave4shmups Oops! You are indeed spot on with that one. Amiga Forever 2010 looks good though.

@doritostheking wish we knew that then nevermind have you sorted this one?

[doritostheking]

@longrodvonhugendon That's what the relokick disk is for! Run it, wait until the screen turns off then put your game in.

[TeamRocketReviews]

@dave4shmups You could just import an Amiga 500 and use PAL/NTSC converters. That's what I'm eventually going to do.

i had an amiga 500 my mate had the 500 plus if i remeber rightly alot of my games were incompatible with this system to his horror as i had hundreds which he intended to copy! have you come across this issue let me know !!

[CFkimahri]

I remeber years ago when the Disk Drive broke and my dad had to open our amiga up and get a replacement ordered in and he sort of jury rigged the secondary drive in there. Me being incredibly young at the time ate one of the screws in what was left of the secondary drive at the time... when the replecement came everything went back together in the end.

I did have a wave of nostalgia hit me when you lifted up that adapter modual thing. much time wasted fiddling with it to get colour out of it :|

Great video. I too have an A500+ but mine has the upgraded RAM, original users manual among other paperwork and a wealth of games!

[nicolaj0154]
