  Thanks for watching! Update: For games that run too fast I believe the JIT CPU switch I showed will solve that. Also WHDLoad is free for personal use. Have fun!

  It's worth noting that the retail version of the A500 Mini does NOT come with the ring bound manual, most reviews don't mention this. You just get a four page quick guide. The full manual is available as a PDF from the website.

  I would GLADLY have paid 20 quid extra to be able to put an SD card into the disk slot of the A500, who's with me on this for the next iteration?

  I got mine! I had an amiga as a kid. I'm  now severely disabled with brain damage but I've managed to set this up fine and have been having fun! It's a great little device and I'm very happy with it!

  I want to buy it and get the extra mouse and have me and my older brother play like in the 90s .<br> settlers split screen on our fathers Amiga. We got 1 hour of computer game time a week if we did all our homeworks so we played alot &nbsp;of co-op because it was 2hours of fun that way , good memories 😋

  Thanks for the review, you&apos;ve shown enough to warrant me keeping my amazon order as I&apos;ve been on the fence about this having other options for Amiga including a real A1200 and MiSTer but for sheer plug and play simplicity and the save states along with the hardware and perfromance &nbsp;I think it looks well worth it and it can be a permanent fixture on the main TV without having to move stuff around.

  Watched this in anticipation of my own A500 mini arriving (yes I am very, VERY late to the party. 😂). From age 11 to 16 i gamed on an A500 then an A500+ while most of my friends had Mega Drive’s and SNES’s, but there was that core group of us who had Amiga’s. <br><br>Trips to one another’s houses with a pack of blank floppy disks in one hand and X-Copy in the other were common, but now the Mini has ADF support I can finally once again enjoy signing Melli and Cantona for Milan in Champ Man Italia 93 and running absolutely riot.<br><br>Great review, great pace, very informative with a dose of good British sarcasm/humour thrown in.

  Awesome second video! Please do a workbench video whenever you can, would love to see that as well! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one! Now, let&apos;s hope for a LARGE version, just like with the C64. 💓💓💓

  I love the fact that these are coming out so us old farts can elive our youthful computer days. Never owned an amiga, I had an Atari 1020ST after my commodoe 64 was finally retired, tho. these 16 bit systems were so ahead of everything at the time. Thanks for this.
