Didn't the Cruiser have a ring around the bottom of the stick that you could use to adjust the level of stiffness?

It did. Although two of the settings were broadly unusable.

Even the loose one felt too stiff for me. I guess I was just used to a longer shaft.

I have one of those. As you can imagine, it doesn't get used much. Same with the Terminator joystick

(pic isn't mine.. mine's in a bit of a state)

I did buy some retro USB joysticks to sell on my site thinking that folk might be interested (like an N64 controller shaped one), but I rather misjudged it and haven't sold any yet

Cruisers were my preferred joystick, particularly the all-black version.


These days? Sod joysticks. Joypads all the way.

I would agree generally, but I just can't get on with playing SWOS on a joypad, and that would be my primary use-case here.

I've just remembered, my all-time favourite joystick was this one, the Logic3 Sigma Ray.

As anyone who saw me play stunt car racer over the weekend will attest, I was never a joystick person.

That wasn't a particularly good joystick.

Blimey, the QC sticker is from 2009. These have spent a long time in the box

I have my Pi3, so this weekend will be spent building this mother.

Awesome work! Which pads did you go for?

Which version of N&S is that? (less colors that the miggy version... or is that memory playing games with me

Should have an N64 emulator built in already, you just need to copy the games to the /roms/n64 folder. How have you been putting games on it so far? If you go into the RetroPie config settings you can enable Samba shares, which means you can then connect to it from your PC (if it's on the same network) by going to \\retropie in a file explorer window

Ok, Amiga fans, we're going to have to do a little bit more work to get things working...

This is what I used. The guide is very *very* comprehensive, and includes video tutorials so I won't try and go over it again here, but I will summarise what it achieves. After you've run through the tutorial, you will be able to run WHDLoad version of an amiga game straight from the Retropie menus, as seen at the Cottage. A WHDLoad version combines multiple disk games into a single file so that you don't have to concern yourself with swapping disk images. The community has been doing this for a *long* time, so basically every game ever released commercially on the Amiga should have WHDLoad version available.

YOU WILL NEED a kickstart ROM or two. The best, cheapest, legal way to do this is to buy Amiga Forever Essentials for £1.79 on the Google App store and copy the Kickstart ROMs out of that. There are of course other ways to get them (But don't PM me asking for them, obv. That's illegal, you pirate).

You will also need games. If you only want a few specific games, then http://WHDload.com (EDIT: My bad, it's http://whdownload.com/)is what you want. The tutorial listed above tell you what to do with the files. There are of course packs available to download. These are usually split into ECS (original amiga games), AGA (A1200 games), CD32 (Er... CD32 games) and demos (Fuck yeah, Jesus on E!).

whdload packs here http://kg.whdownload.com/kgwhd

I personally just had the ECS pack, as in my youth I only ever had an A500+ so those were the games I wanted to play. But you do you and get whatever you want. You want Superfrog? You can have it. You want Deluxe Galaga? It's there! You want Alien Fish Finger? Get away from me, you freak.

Anyway! Hope this has been useful. I'm available for questions and stuff. Like and subscribe for more!

What are you struggling with exactly? Have you got the kickstart files?

Have you installed the emulator? It's not turned on by default.

Have 1.3
Not sure where other files are meant to go and how.

You don't have to have the files in a specific place, but you do need to tell the emulator where they are.

It's covered here http://www.ultimateamiga.co.uk/HostedPr ... guide.html
