Amiga Game Selector (AGS)

I like to collect all the mini systems that come out and mess around with them. Just a bit of great fun.

The AGS project is busy a free to download package provided as a Torrent and well supported so people can just copy it to a uab stick, plug it in and play some games and look at some demos. Nothing more.

Slow typing in RAGE to save Spelling mistakes..... usb, not uab.....It's Chipset Emulation H.....

It plays like a bag of shit on an Emulated chipset....

CPU Emulation is something else entirely & yet, AmigaVision is better DC....

AGS is just pooey bs 4 me.

Aw, low blow.... Pointing out spelling mistakes is only fun if you can make a pun or manipulate it into a humorously ironic misunderstanding.

I really don't think you are the target market for this, Kin. Some people just want the quick hit of nostalgia without diving deep into the actual innards of the device. I haven't been fussed with any emulation malarky since before 2010 when I pissed about a bit with winUAE, but I applaud the efforts of folk that have made it easy to play the games we loved as youngsters, just as I applaud the passion of those that really do want to preserve Amiga hardware. There's room for both!

Yeah J T.... you're probably right fella & I'm more of an Amiga purist than most.

However, not to the point it has to be a Real 060 to be the best out there.....
For my money, EMU68 on a Raspberry Pi completely blows the Apollo FPGA 080 in every manner, despite the latter having USB & Ethernet as standard.

It's all about number crunching & still being able to play games as they were meant to be played! - Perfect scrolling horizontally & vertically. - Emulation can't do these intrinsic Custom Chipset Hardware calculations.

But for most it does just come down to an easy life. Download and copy to a usb stick, plug it in and play a list of thousands of games. Most are just trying to relive their youth with the Amiga and their favourite games. They are not bothered about total accuracy.

Some will them will be bitten by the bug and expand their refound Amiga hobby and go in search of more accuate hardware, but for most they will just be happy to be able to run and replay the games. That's all AGS is about and for.

To be honest, I'm also not bothered by total accuracy, as long as it runs the game fine.

What do you even need total accuracy for? How do you even notice if the game is not running 100% accurate?

If it was totally accurate I'd be playing it on a crappy 14" portable TV through the shitty RF modulator, and sound coming through my Sharp dual-tape-deck boom box, while I'm sat on a really uncomfortable office chair that got rescued from a skip, in a bedroom thinking about how awesome it'll be when I'm less of an awkward teen and finally start getting the chicks.

Actually, the boom box was pretty rad.
