GET REAL
The impossible with just an upgraded hard drive setup?


F.A.Q.

There's an MPEG/hardware decoder board in there, correct?
No. This is probably most people’s assumption.

This is after market sound, correct?
No. This is stock Commodore Amiga 1200 on-board audio - the famous built-in "Paula" audio. Audio quality has been optimized through software.

This is after-market graphics, correct?
No. This is stock Commodore Amiga 1200 on-board graphics - the famous built-in “AGA” (Advanced Graphics Architecture) - used for every single frame of video you are watching.

You're hiding a video player somewhere and this isn't the Amiga, right?
Wrong. Take a look – the monitor and amp are hooked to the Amiga’s real video and audio ports.

You're using a modern CPU or a Raspberry Pi for CPU speed?
No. Zero funny-business. This Amiga has an old-school genuine Motorola 68030, which is a common and very modest CPU accelerator that gives the stock CPU a slight boost. These were common in the Amiga’s heyday. No modern CPU.

This looks like overscan video, is this a modified monitor?
While it is overscan video, it’s not a modified monitor. The Amiga itself is actually doing overscan, which means a lot more data.

How does this work?
Passion. The type of passion Amiga has always represented. Based in Commodore’s own audio-video playback patent work, this is a culmination of clever software, large, fast disk and a ton of DMA. And yes, this runs on top of the original Amiga OS 3.1. It uses OS disk routines. Just updated drivers. You can even hook the RF out to an NTSC TV and watch. There really is no funny-business.
