Old guy here still a gamer and proud. I had a Spectrum in the 80’s and loved it, a did progress on to an Amiga and loved that equally as much. I’m enjoying this whole scene of old systems emulation. To combine the A500 with this software should give you a great set up, definitely giving this one a try. Great channel, thanks for your work 👍🏻

[@gevaliasvittne7150]

Wow !. This is SENSATIONAL !. 👏👏 Who had thought that playing/emulate Gen. 5 consoles (other than the "CD32") on this little novelty made mini "Amiga", ever would be possible ?!!. Not me at least, that´s for sure ! (last time i checked, the homebrew scene for my "C64 Mini" was second to none. So i figured these types of pre-millennial, home computer´s emulation S O C in general, was not a favorite among the homebrewing communities). Anyway, as i understood it, in the beginning, it was not even obvious if the "A500 mini" would be able to handle the complete "CD32" game library fluently, or not (but compatibility with both the 500, and the 600, AND THE 1200 models [!], were indeed not a bad selling point in itself i mean, so..) 🤓. For me, The Amiga 500 and Samantha Fox were both in the sector "youngster guy´s hot, hot dreams that will never, ever come true" (But with Windows 95 a fue years later, the Amiga was forever obsolete. And Samantha ?, Well, she eventually came out as a lesbian, then she was forever obsolete too..) I was thinking, with regards to the Pandory emulation of PS1 and N64 (or future 3DO, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar, Neo geo or Laseractive ?): Am i right that there is no way to use the analogue sticks if i choose to try a such controller ?. And, is it possible to use controller/keyboard/mouse, WIRELESS on the A500 mini ?. On the standard system, the Pandory or both ?. Is there any recommended models to considering ?. Also: "Pandory vs official firmware updates". What do i do if an O F W update is ready to install (and how do i even know when that happens ?) when my system runs on Pandory ?. 😐

[@AndrewJones-lm9lq]

Will be honest downloaded that before, except i couldnt figure out the menu.Saying thatt, though now youve explained it , makes sense now .Thanks for the info @-)

[@acemic2050]

Hello! how many joysticks can you plug to USB ports and make them visible for games? only one or two? thanks.

[@mrjsv4935]

Impressive stuff, cool loooong powerslides at the Out Run clip :D Recent flea market find for PS2, the Worms 3D for 3 Euros, has manual as well. Was interested to see how it compares with the Amiga Worms version I have (CU Amiga coverdisk version from the 90's), and I must say, I like the Amiga version more. But pretty rare here to find any PS2 games for 3 Euros, and I like the fun sounding music in it.

[@TheGebs24]

Oh cool amazing find!

[@fireb0y0]

This will transform for many people their A500 mini from "Another !"·$% for the drawer", to "OMG i need more of this!" ;-) Thanks for the video, my little one is putting me big cat eyes XD

You’re welcome

[@codehunter77]

Can be played DOS too? I'm really excited for the maxi coming at the end of this year, I would like to play the entire amiga/cd32 and dos games mainly Regards and great video! 🤘🏻 I hope more videos like this one when the maxi comes out 😉

[@Textra1]

Glad to see that 'can it run Doom' is still a standard.

[@Rabid_Wombat]

The music has all been remixed which was a nice surprise

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

So it's easy to setup? How is C64 emulation? Can it run REU, and if so, should I sell my C64 maxi??😊

[@dooleh84]

That outrun on the psp is not running buttery smooth at all, it's running below 30fps that's why the sound is messed up. Whenever it gets to 30 the sound is fine too.

[@tomfum]

Is it possible to emulate Amiga 1200 on the A500 mini? I wonder how fast it would be and if that is enough to run modern Amiga demos.

[@garyhart6421]

DOS games do not seem to update ??? Nor the Amstrad CPC I added ZX Spectrum games need keyboard, but it is not recognized. ST games do not start --- maybe TOS problem ?

[@nicholasgarratt5646]

Does it work with thee latest firmware? I am thinking of getting one. I use Batocera for my retro but the computer is not powerful enough to do PS1 and above. Mainly arcade and 16 bit.

[@krathoon2338]

Apparently, you can emulate the Dreamcast on anything these days. It cracks me up.

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

Loads games too slow. Wouldnt exit the megadrive emulator runnng cave story. I know you say its great but for me its troublesome at times. Got the C64 running okay, but the onscreen keyboard does not pause the game. Too many control issues. Maybe the standard amiga mini pad would work better? I'd like it to be better than retropie but there's too many issues for me.

[@leelo4717]

This video really helped me out, but one question I can't seem to find an answer to is how do I get the box art to show up for my ROMs within pandory?

Very inspiring. I don't have the new version of Pandory yet. Time to fix that.) I'm still worried that something won't work with the new firmware.

A new update got released today. Dave even added one of my YT videos 🤩🤩🤩

Seems fine so far, it's only a soft mod but then I tend not to play around with some of the config apps but just play some more games. (Dreamcast being one of them)

[@arudegesture]

Pandory mod is great and all, but seeing as my a500mini won't turn off after selecting to shut down in the carousel when using it, it's sadly a no-go for me. I won't risk damaging the hardware. I'll just use the a500mini as is.

[@waltertrees2412]

The sound issue is the Amiga 500 mini not being powerful enough to emulate the psp properly. For consiles like PSP, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64 you need a dedicated graphics card.

[@daveholloway185]

Hi Walter. The sound issue is present on the PSP emulator if the console is running in 50hz mode. Switching it to 60hz gets you very acceptable performance and sound on a wide range of games.

[@Rabid_Wombat]

Lol you don't need a dedicated graphics card - you obviously haven't got one running pandory 😋

[@Jimmah82]

Fantastic video, but I have an issue since I installed Pandory on the A500 mini. 2 Players games are impossible to play solo, reason is it will always start player 2 when I press the right button. :/ And this happens in every 2 players game. Any tricks around that ? I heard there was an update but its still a work in progress and it seems I'm the only one having this issue. Help !

There were two problems with that Out Run 2006 footage. One, it was stuck at 20FPS for most of the time. And two, you didn't choose Magical Sound Shower to drive to :D

[@daveholloway185]

Hi Andrew. These issues go away when the console is switched to 60hz mode. We’ll try and make the console autoswitch in a future release. In 60hz mode it’s possible to get mostly a constant 30fps and several games run at a steady 60fps.

At what point does the A500 stop being an Amiga.

[@daveholloway185]

We have a few users only using Pandory not to get access too other emulators, but rather to the upgraded Amiberry 5 emulator, which gives them two years of amiga-emulation bugfixes over the stock firmware, so it actually makes it more of an Amiga 🙂. We have also had requests that Amiberry be startable directly from a whdload file, which we will try to implement in the next update if this is something that could be useful for you.

[@Rabid_Wombat]

Pandory V1 has all of the required BIOS already installed. And they are the best versions. This saves a heap of hassle so I would suggest don't update the firmware!
