Analogue Pocket can now use AmigaVision images made for the MiSTer

Unread post by limi »

I know a fair amount of MiSTer users also have an Analogue Pocket FPGA, so this may be of interest — the latest firmware + Amiga core update lets you use the same HDF image on both devices:

That is great news! The firmware update yesterday was a nice surprise, so soon after the much awaited 2.0 version.

Brilliant news, and saves maintaining seperate HDF files and picking and choosing what to squeeze onto the pocket image. Now we can expand, expand, expand :)

Always good to see the Amiga on the pocket getting an update, unfortunately some games run very fast, like buggy boy and bombjack..

Pretty sure that has nothing to do with the MiSTer/Pocket cores, but if someone could test it on original hardware (I don’t have my Amigas in my current location), that would be appreciated.

It is incredible how easily we can play Amiga games and demos on the Pocket, thanks to AmigaVision, when its only other computer cores are PDP-1 (not sure if it even has more than one game) and VideoBrain. And you need a dock and keyboard to use the VideoBrain core properly.

I've got my Pocket last week, and AmigaVision was one of the first things i had installed. Very cool. Thx Limi.

One question: me too I have the Amiga Core installed. I wonder what Amiga version games I can use=?
Amiga 500, 600, 1200 or even 4000?

And what are the file endings of the games: for example SNES ROMs have .sfx PC Engine have .pce etc.
I have never played Amiga games, but know that there exist interesting games like Flink, Mokey Island, Simon the Sorcerer etc.
