It may have been overkill, but I took the datasheet of the Philips tube used in the Commodore 1084 monitor and used it to recalculate the angles of the CRT shader in Copperline. This is almost ready to be included in the next release. #Amiga

The web version Copperline #Amiga emulator now has touch keyboard support, both Amiga and native device. Enjoy! copperline.dev/try/
Copperline 0.14.0 is out. Your #Amiga can now read the real floppies on your desk (Greaseweazle/DrawBridge/SupercardPro), join your real LAN, and run Picasso II RTG on 24-bit machines. Plus a 1084 monitor bezel + CRT shaders. www.patreon.com/Copperline/p...
Remember green screen and B&W monitors? Well, there is an option for that now in copperline.dev/try/
I know I keep doing things nobody asked for. Here is another! Programmable shader support to mimic things like CRTs coming soon to Copperline. #Amiga
Copperline 0.13.0 is out! Highlights: RTG graphics (Z3660 + Picasso96), Debian Linux/m68k booting to a login prompt, A2065 Ethernet with zero-setup NAT, telnet BBS over emulated serial, and configurable floppy speed with turbo. github.com/CopperlineHQ... #Amiga
Release Copperline 0.13.0 · CopperlineHQ/Copperline
Copperline 0.13.0 is the release where the emulated machine grows past the classic chipset. It gains RTG graphics through the Z3660 Zorro III board, so Workbench runs in high-colour, high-resolutio...

Did someone say #Amiga 1200 AGA? No? Well, I’ve added it to the web version of Copperline anyway 🙂 copperline.dev/try/
Copperline 0.13 will have #Amiga 4000 emulation working well enough to run m68k Debian Linux (a really old version of Debian at least).
The web version of Copperline has had a lot of feedback from @retro32.bsky.social. Huge number of features and fixes for it deployed. Have a play if you want an #Amiga in your browser! copperline.dev/try
An Amiga in your browser tab: Copperline 0.12.0 released today! Now with a WebAssembly build, big-box A3000/A4000 support, SCSI CD-ROM drives, and writable host folders. Boot one now at copperline.dev/try #Amiga

I know what you are not asking, can the Copperline #Amiga emulator run in my mobile browser? Turns out the answer is “yes” anyway 🙂
As you may know, I created the #Amiga emulator no one asked for called Copperline. Now, a huge feature you also didn't ask for... Running it in your browser. Enjoy! copperline.dev/try/

Copperline #Amiga emulator 0.11.0 is out! New features since 0.9.0 include video and audio debugging, debug console and video underlay on the frame debugger. Nearly 300 commits, 23 new features and 59 bug fixes from 0.9.0 to 0.11.0, we have come a long way.
Part of life of my wife having a shop is that Square regularly breaks things. This time they have broken some of the sales reporting tools. Today I got GPT to make a tool for her called "Round Peg". It uses the API to fill the hole Square put in their reporting tools for her 😂
Version 0.10.0 of Copperline is out, a massive 256 commits between 0.9.0 and 0.10.0! I do not recommend anyone but developers use this release yet. A lot of the chipset code has been re-written and it has introduced regressions. Bug fixing will be the next beta focus. #Amiga
I'm going on a long weekend holiday, so Copperline 0.10.0 won't be released until after I'm back. But in the mean time, here is a new feature that has been added. #Amiga
Copperline #Amiga emulator 0.8.0 has been released, and this is one for those who prefer GUIs to command line. There is now a launcher that appears if you do not use command line options. copperline.dev
Preview of something I'm adding to the next version of Copperline.
Copperline 0.5.0 is out: my Amiga emulator, built around accurate hardware timing, deterministic replay, and deep debugging. It supports OCS/ECS/AGA, headless capture, and an in-window debugger that can step backwards through time. copperline.dev #Amiga #RetroComputing

Copperline #Amiga CDTV test. Configured to have 8MB Fast RAM and a 14MHz 68000 (just to test it still works with that config).
Now have TEK's Rampage fully working in my emulator (needs some frame centring). Also have Eon (with disk swap), State of the Art, Inside the Machine and Second Nature working perfectly. AGA support next... CC @tcurdt.bsky.social
I’ve been working on a new #Amiga emulator in the background to see if it could be done. It has got far enough that it runs demos ok. youtu.be/F7GGw9cwuwY

Yet again I woke up an hour before my alarms on the day of flying in a panic of "did the two alarms I set not go off?".
I asked Codex to look over some code Claude Code wrote. This burn made me LOL! 😂
A week ago I showed you Doom on the @wolfssl.com wolfDemo board I designed. This weekend I have: * VU meter using the wolf bark bars * Audio (OPL2 music and SFX) * I2C gamepad support * Massively enhanced rendering engine (maxes out the video SPI when music is off)
I bought a faulty Amiga A570 expecting a repair story. Instead, the black screen led me to a strange fault on my Amiga 500 Plus, and something other reproduction boards may have copied too. linuxjedi.co.uk/when-an-amig... #Amiga #RetroComputing
When an Amiga A570 Repair Took a Strange Turn
I recently bought a faulty Amiga A570 and intended to write a repair blog post about it eventually, but this adventure ended up in a completely different direction: a fault affecting many Amigas in…

Fun finding of the day... Every Amiga Raemixx 500 motherboard I can find photos of has a hardware assembly fault which breaks Zorro compatibility. And it might be partly my fault. I'll be writing up everything later this week.
Wherever there is a new computer, embedded or not, someone asks if you can run Doom on it. Last year I created the wolfSSL wolfDemo board. Today I managed to get Doom running on it. There is no sound, so the LEDs act like a VU meter for the sound effects. I haven’t wired up a controller yet either.
