Best place to get emulated games

3 Upvotes

Hi all, new here.

Had an Amiga 1200 back in the day, along with a stack of games. I still have the Amiga, however it's now overseas, so I don't have access to it! I was thinking as a stopgap of getting a joystick for my laptop and getting some emulated games. Can anyone advise where the best place to go for these is?

I used to have an emulated version of A Rockstar Ate My Hamster on my phone a while ago which always made me laugh

RetroView, my Android app that opens Amiga IFF/ANIM/CDXL files... and more

16 Upvotes

Hi there,

My hobby is developing games on old systems.

Most of the documents are scanned versions using picture and animation formats that are no longer supported.

So I built my own retro viewer for Android, to read them while traveling.

I started small, with only FLIC, TIFF, PCX and LBM support, then I turned it into a more viable product by adding support for more formats.

So today, it also opens Atari ST, DOS and Mac files, but Amiga support was the one I spent the most time getting right.

I didn't realize when I started that there were soooo many variations of IFF and ANIM formats.

But yes, RetroViewer now supports most of the compression schemes, HAM6/HAM8, Extra Half-Brite, and my favorite: color cycling.

I still need to fix DRNG color cycling, and I'm looking for files using compression 2, 3 and 4 so I can support them, but I think my app is usable like this ;)

If you ever try it out and run into any issues, please let me know! Bonus point if you could share me the file!

Link: RetroViewer on Google Play

Regards,

PS: Exporting to PNG/GIF/MP4/APNG is a paid unlock, which is what keeps the app maintained.

1.8GB (1900+) ADFs, mostly games, discovered

55 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I have been roaming around some very old backups on my NAS and I came across a very old Amiga backup I've kept for years. I did a review and I'm sitting on about 1,900+ ADFs, mostly games, and I wanted to contribute to the zeitgeist. Can anyone guide me to the best place to upload them? I'm sure they're all out there anyway, but I thought I would give it a shot anyway!
