Retro show with Amiga and Commodore stuff with the most crazy name ever omg

I just love the kind of shows/gatherings these Commodore enthusiasts from the Netherlands here in Europe seems to keep yearly.

For years they have provided pictures from the gatherings on their site where we can find images from a recent gathering called Van Pong Tot Playstation (crazy name, makes no sence to me, but then again I am a Swedish Viking and not from the Netherlands  :-)  ) which was a retro game and computer show.

Scroll down on this page and enjoy some retro mania pictures including some old school Amiga and C64 action!

AmigaOS4 on old PPC Apple Mac mini progress!

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

 

 

Late in November 2007 AmigaOS4 for ”classic” Amiga hardware was released. Before that rumors about a port for the old PPC MacMini floated around news sites on the net. Many wondered if they where true, seems like they actually where true!

A couple of days ago some guy leaked an ISO claiming it was an early Christmas gift for the Amiga community containing the key to running OS4 “classic” on the Mac Mini on “English Amiga board”.The ISO file was taken down from EAB fearing legal problems. The poster was eventually banned from the board since no one got the ISO to function correctly which made everyone believe it was just one big hoax

However breaking news shows that with the ISO it is possible to boot into the well known boot screen of the Amiga!

It is not yet known if it is going to be possible to run OS4 on certain models of Mac Mini but people are working on this right now so stay tuned!

Will this lead to AmigaOS4 on Titanium PPC Apple notebooks?

Stay tuned for more news….
