I personally can’t wait for the official release which we’ll cover in-depth as room as I get my grubby mitts on it.
wow that looks incredible!!! I am glad that it still continues on. chris took this over from paul many years back and has continued to improve it with every release. I don’t know if anything can top the 1.5MF tosec super pack?. but I purchased 2 roms for that one. man i cant wait! and this is FREE>? heard it was a Trademark now. good on ya mate.
Thanks for the comment Charles – I can’t wait too.
He has indeed now got the trademark and I’ve even seen the certificate. I’ll be covering that in more detail in a later document. And yes… all free!
I love this system . It is not perfect, however it runs better that my
1200 ever did. Youtube on pimiga? Hats off mate
I do not see how he can trademark this. it is a open compilation of archive.org and other bit rot sites compiled into one thing. unless it is the word name and the logo ? which is understandable. I enjoyed pimiga 1.5MF also mr Charles. it was great. and I do support this work, it is nice to see the Amiga lineage continue sorry for this english. this is Google translate
