After spending 3 hours trying to set up a UAE emulator ( BLOODY KICKSTART ROMS!) I finally gave in to the fact I would actually have to climb into the attic and find my Amiga 500 if I wanted to play Clive Barkers night breed.
Having crawled my way round allot of old boxes and computer equipment (and bizarrely, a whole box of scuba gear the last owner seems to have left behind) I located the box I wad looking for.
I had forgotten how bloody big it was, I nearly got a hernia just lugging it back down the ladder.
Once I had it set up I realised that the modulator for the video out was missing from the box, so it was back into the attic to find the thing. A modulator if you don't know is a device you plug into the back of the A500 to let it output to video or RF out- without it you cant get it to run on a normal TV.
Having found the unit I opened the crate it was in and saw the rf and leads were also missing- this really was not my day, luckily I found an old rf cable plugged into the back of an ancient TV that was once again left by the previous owner (I really need to find that D-bag and burn his new house down).
So after all that crap I plug in the modulator and the rf cable and the power cable and switch on the TV and.....nothing.....the bloody thing doesn't work!!!
Once again, I need to buy more ageing computer equipment online- the wife is gonna kill me :)
