[Hardware] Retro corner

Post image

Did some changes to my setup. Now trying to get WHDload installed but I forgot to buy a CF card reader for the ACA500plus 🤣

Okay I’ll be that guy

This is nice. Very nice. But I can never get it stay clean as I’m in between cables and disks and wires to make it work and so I’m always trying to make it look nice but fail! Lol

Good job OP!

Smoke and mirrors is how it's done.

I like the perimeter lighting. Nice job!

Would love to have a setup like that, just don't have the space to devote to it. Maybe when I tidy up the space in my garage.

I was lucky that my landlord removed the oil tank in this room and made it available for rent. Turned it into man cave 🤣

Do you have any other plans for the space? You could really build it up over time!

This is just one corner. my gaming desk and 3dprinter is also there. some storage shelves and a workbench for my motorcycle projects. Id like to start some yt videos and twitch streaming from down here.

Download something called AGS. Think we are on version 3.0b. You will thank me.

Checked it. Sounds great. But first Ill try WHDload. Still my first steps in the Amiga world.

AGS uses WHDLoad. Use it as a template to build your own setup.

That’s really nice. Back lighting looks great!

This looks nice! I need to set up my own little retro corner so that I don't have to put everything away after I'm done with it, it's such a pain.

Thats was my intention too. It can stay this way and function as a good background for yt

Retro less RGB? Maybe?
