    If you are planning to play games from floppy drive and nothing else, at least add 1MB chip ram to it.

    If you planning to do more than playing games, then you need accelerator. The A600 feels very slow in other tasks.

    Hard drive is nice to have.

     

    Also, check your keyboard if all keys are working, in the future you may need new keyboard membrane. I chose PCB replacement instead plastic membrane.

    So when I mirrored the thumb stick hole and fire buttons the fire buttons are not far enough over to the right.  Do you have any suggestions on how to move this holes?  Did you make an .stl for a case to have the thumbstick on the left?

    I think I released both left and right versions of the case. Check previous posts.

    I don't have any Apple II stuff, I did wanted one 5 years back, but already it was getting expensive. I wanted Apple IIc, small and compact compared to original. Right now, I can emulate Apple II on my Amiga A1200, so no loss there.

     

    When I sell my stuff, I price it at or few $ below market value. So far success and no complaints from buyers.

    Just out of curiosity, Does anyone know a US seller who carries a ready-made Amiga 500 compatible Gotek?  I've been looking into it, and near as I can tell, it's actually more expensive to piece these together (Gotek, OLED, and mounting bracket) than it is to simply get the ready made one.  Or at least it would if I were in Germany.  In the US, shipping makes it a bit of a wash.  But before I go about importing one from the other side of the world, maybe someone could point me to a more local source?  Or atleast on the same continent?

     

    Also, just to reiterate, as I am really new to the Amiga, and I don't think I say this often enough...  Thank you all so much for all the help and suggestions given to me so far.  You've all been very helpful and supportive!!! 🙂 

    This person is in Ireland, BUT... I ordered twice PCB keyboard membranes from them and they all arrived fairly fast, 2 weeks I think.

    Custom gotek from them: https://www.sordan.ie/product/666/amiga-500-gotek-floppy-drive-emulator-base-oled-flash-floppy/

    I'm not sure what the nature of the first batch of Maxi 64s was on Amazon selling as Prime - NTSC or PAL. So, I'm not sure if this was a second wave of Prime items that just sold out on Amazon or *the* one and only NTSC batch.

     

    In other news, I can't believe some guy is trying to sell a Mini on eBay for $163. I think I paid $35 for mine.

    They can only try. Minis are still $35 on Amazon.

    I just started getting back to my C64 stuff, for someone who has an Ultimate64, a C64 and a C128, with an 1541 Ultimate II+ on the way, is there any reason to buy TheC64?

    Probably not.

    But, TheC64 Maxi is better then the Mini, with full size keyboard and more usb ports.

    I do wish it had regular 9pin ports, I dont really like the big joystick (personal preference).

    So I tried a voltmeter  on the 2 outside pins inside of the USB plug in with the console on and didn't get any volts from it. It flickered -5 once tho. The seller was telling me to check the pins on the port#2 of the console itself vs the adapter. 

    -5V is because the meter leads are reversed, which is fine.

    It's possible that you have 5V, just your hands are not steady, or leads don't make a good connection.

    I used to do a mouse conversion from PC Bus Mouse to Amiga/Atari ST. I have to cut the connector and install DB9 connector. I still have some mice left, these mice are not the best, but work, if you like I can convert one for you.

    I need to test if it works on CD32.

    I'm not sure how much I charge for them. 

    $14 plus shipping

    I new about the company that created the Mandala hardware and software using the Amigas, but I forgot the name of the company. I do know that they have patents and Sony was using the patents to create the Eyetoy.

     

    On PS3 you can buy a game that puts you in the video game. The game is called "Kung Fu Live" for PS3. You need to get it soon before they shutdown the PS3 store and the game is lost forever. I have the game, pretty fun and you can get a real workout playing it.

    I could just burn and try PAL game on my NTSC and see how it goes. 

     

    Anyway, adding to the original question.  

    If you can do the soft mod if you can, follow interned directions. The game that is PAL it should play fine in your PAL system.

     

    Another alternative you can use is the Arduino modchip. https://github.com/kalymos/PsNee
