That's the fun of web development. Even many little things that look fairly simple from the outside can turn into a headache to achieve. It's always a learning process too, which is maybe it's...

I know many don't have the time to read much, or at all. As I've mentioned before I listen to a lot of audio books whilst driving to work. Often I get through 1 book per week. But I also like...

After the writers strike there was talk of a drought of new shows over the last 12 months, but this seems to be far from the truth. Already we have seen some amazing shows released.

For me the...

Are you all enjoying Fallout?

When this series was first announced I wasn't sure what to expect. Films and TV series based on video games have not generally been that great. The exception...

Indeed and it's still such a great utility. But that only creates disk to disk copies, not rom files. These hardware solutions go much further because they create direct copies at the low level...

No. The main site is not built using an off the shelf turnkey solution. It does use free and paid for software as the framework, but everything else is custom built.

The current main site is...

I'm going to start looking at alternative solutions this month. I'm leaning towards a virtual server or cloud solution for the forums as they have come a long way in the last 10 years and you get a...

It's far harder to create disk images on a real Amiga. The Greaseweazle and Kryoflux both make low level disk images so don't need to even read the disk format. This means you can backup and image...

Ubiquiti products have been getting some great reviews recently. Definitely would buy their products in the future.

Downloading 80GB that fast really is something isn't it.

Problem I have...

Using it to use disks on a daily basis isn't really the main point of it though. It's more for archival of existing disks for preservation. That's what I use my Kryoflux for.

But I'm...

Various versions of the Greaseweazle adapter have been around for a long time. It's a floppy drive interface similar to the Kryoflux I've owned for years. It's original idea was to read and write...

I'm still not sure what is causing this issue. I've not been able to get the site to load for days until now. I've looked through server logs but there isn't much to indicate other than the...

I couldn't get the forum to load at all this weekend until now. Just returning a 503 error. Main site would still load but that was taking time to initially respond.

Think this server is on...

The latest book by Bitmap Books, titled: "N64: A VISUAL COMPENDIUM" has just been released and I received my copy on the day of release last week.

This is a holding page. I will take some...

@DC. He might not be able to see that post.

I don't actually know what caused it. The forums have been slow to initially load for a few weeks. But once loaded seen to work ok and navigating...

Fair enough. The fixed camera angles and awkward character controls of the first game were on purpose to make you panic not and get disorientated when being attacked, and that worked. Although...

I'm a bit surprised. I thought you would have played one of them. Both RE and SH are puzzle adventure games at their core.

RE is more traditional horror with a lot of shooting zombies and...

I know you like your horror films. You really need to play Silent Hill at some point. They are currently remaking Silent Hill 2 so that would be a great opportunity to try one of them when it...

Are there games you wish they would remake?

For me I don't get why they skipped Resident Evil 1 when they started to do the remakes. The first game would be brilliant with the game game engine. ...

That is a very good point about risks vs just rereleasing a remaster of a known well performing game. And the larger a game company becomes the more they will always head in that direction.

I...

Paul Vince (Amiga Game Selector developer) has just released a new version of his WHDLoad download tool. This tool downloads Retroplay's WHDLoad archives for you from the Turran file server. It's...

There is a type of processor that works in very much the same way as the human brain, called the NPU or Neural Processing Unit. The NPU is made up of countless numbers of nerve cells and synapses...

Should a remake or remaster just deliver the same game so people can play it on newer systems? GT5 f.ex.

Or should they expand on the original story and ideas a d deliver a game based on the...

With this current generation of games consoles and PCs we have seen a huge percentage of releases as remakes or remasters of older existing titles. In fact in 2023 90% of the highest rated games...

I'm also not sure EE and BT will merge and the EE brand will take over. Do you have any links about this? BT have owned EE for years.

Since upgrading to full fibre my package has been a...
