Retro Gaming, Projects, Repairs and Blog
Any Amiga CD32 Fans here? I’ve just finished a page about the TF330 upgrade card for the CD32. It adds a faster processor, loads of RAM and an IDE port for a HDD.

You may have seen my previous posts about building a Retro PC for some DOS game action…

I wanted to keep maximum DOS compatibility, but also add support for 90’s 3D accelerated Windows games. So the biggest additions were the CPU upgrade to 233Mhz, double the RAM to 64mb and the Voodoo2 3D card. Specs are now:
All working perfectly and now I’m able to play games like Unreal Tournament with most settings maxed out. Some very old DOS games may run too fast, but I found a program that can disable CPU caches and other features. This should allow be to slow the PC down to 486 speeds when needed.
More on this project later when I get time.
Just to let everyone know, I’m fully booked again for repairs/upgrades. By all means please email for quotes but I won’t be able to accommodate more work for July and August.
This was a new one to me. A couple of Mega Drive 2’s with damaged cartridge connectors. I removed and installed replacements to get these systems working again.

Last month Razoola released a milestone release version of the universe BIOS.
This release contains a new colour scheme, bug fixes, new features and updates to the cheat database. Click here for a full changelog.
So far this release is for the MVS and AES hardware only. CD release is still v3.3.
All new installation requests for the Unibios will be version 4.0.

Thanks to the people on the Jammaplus forum for the advice in getting the Netdimm to boot.
I was having problems making a solid connection and as it turned out I needed to lower the speed of the computer LAN adapter to 10/100.
In other news I have uploaded a few of my old articles and projects to the site. Find them in the sections above.
