Amiga OCS/ECS a.k.a. Amiga home computer) is a line of personal computers developed by Commodore/Escom/QuikPak. Its first, the Amiga 1000 model was released in 1985. Early models were released with a Motorola 6800 CPU. These are referred to as the Original ChipSet (OCS). These include: * Amiga 1000 * Amiga 2000 A-model * Amiga 500 * Amiga 2000 * Amiga 2500((Technically the Amiga 2500 could be purchased with a 68030 CPU but it is still largely considered OCS.)) * Amiga 1500 The Amiga 500 is the most well-known of the computer line, so far as to skew the perception of the "Amiga home computer line" into being the "Amiga 500 line", even though it was the third in the family to be released. Towards the end of the OCS lifespan, newer models with a Motorola 68030 CPU were released. These are referred to as the Enhance ChipSet (ECS). These include: * Amiga 3000 * Amiga 3000T * Amiga 3000UX * Amiga 500+ * Amiga 600 Then the Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) models were released, which are considered [[systems:amiga1200|a separate system in Batocera]]. When available, the [[systems:amiga1200|Amiga 1200]] version of a game is usually superior and preferred. The ECS chipset is capable of switching between PAL/NTSC modes as needed. Outside of that, the ECS chipset didn't offer much enhancement for games, just software, so Batocera really only concerns itself with the Amiga 500. This system scrapes metadata for the "amiga" group and loads the ''amiga500'' set from the currently selected theme, if available. Grouped with the "amiga" group of systems. {{ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabricecaruso/es-theme-carbon/master/art/consoles/amiga500.png?nolink&350 |}} ==== Quick reference ==== * **Accepted ROM formats:** ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.m3u'', ''.zip'' * **Folder:** ''/userdata/roms/amiga500'' ^ Emulators ^ Accepted ROM formats ^ | [[#fsuae:_A500|fsuae: A500]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.m3u'', ''.zip'' | | [[#fsuae:_A500+|fsuae: A500+]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.m3u'', ''.zip'' | | [[#fsuae:_A600|fsuae: A600]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.m3u'', ''.zip'' | | [[#fsuae:_A1000|fsuae: A1000]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.m3u'', ''.zip'' | | [[#fsuae:_A3000|fsuae: A3000]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.m3u'', ''.zip'' | | [[#amiberry:_A500|amiberry: A500]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.zip'' | | [[#amiberry:_A500+|amiberry: A500+]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.zip'' | | [[#libretro:_puae|libretro: puae]] | ''.adf'', ''.uae'', ''.ipf'', ''.dms'', ''.dmz'', ''.adz'', ''.lha'', ''.hdf'', ''.exe'', ''.m3u'', ''.zip'' | ===== BIOS ===== If you're only interested in Amiga 500 games then the only BIOS that's required is ''kick34005.A500''. The rest are if you'd like to emulate specific models/revisions, or need to work around an in-game bug that only affects certain OS versions. ^ MD5 checksum ^ Share file path ^ Description ^ Notes ^ | ''85ad74194e87c08904327de1a9443b7a'' | ''bios/amiga/kick33180.A500'' | Kickstart v1.2 rev 33.180 | AmigaOS 1.2 (the first OS bundled with the Amiga 1000 from 1985) | | ''82a21c1890cae844b3df741f2762d48d'' | ''bios/amiga/kick34005.A500'' | Kickstart v1.3 rev 34.005 | AmigaOS 1.3 (the OS bundled since 1987, more common) | | ''dc10d7bdd1b6f450773dfb558477c230'' | ''bios/amiga/kick37175.A500'' | Kickstart v2.04 rev 37.175 | AmigaOS 2.04 (the OS bundled since 1990) | | ''465646c9b6729f77eea5314d1f057951'' | ''bios/amiga/kick37350.A600'' | Kickstart v2.05 rev 37.350 | AmigaOS 2.05 (the OS bundled since 1992) | | ''e40a5dfb3d017ba8779faba30cbd1c8e'' | ''bios/amiga/kick40063.A600'' | Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.063 | AmigaOS 3.1 | | ''85ad74194e87c08904327de1a9443b7a'' | ''bios/amiga/amiga-os-120.rom'' | Kickstart v1.2 rev 33.180 | AmigaOS 1.2 (the first OS bundled with the Amiga 1000 from 1985) | | ''82a21c1890cae844b3df741f2762d48d'' | ''bios/amiga/amiga-os-130.rom'' | Kickstart v1.3 rev 34.005 | AmigaOS 1.3 (the OS bundled since 1987, more common) | | ''dc10d7bdd1b6f450773dfb558477c230'' | ''bios/amiga/amiga-os-204.rom'' | Kickstart v2.04 rev 37.175 | AmigaOS 2.04 (the OS bundled since 1990) | | ''465646c9b6729f77eea5314d1f057951'' | ''bios/amiga/amiga-os-205.rom'' | Kickstart v2.05 rev 37.350 | AmigaOS 2.05 (the OS bundled since 1992) | | ''e40a5dfb3d017ba8779faba30cbd1c8e'' | ''bios/amiga/amiga-os-310-a600.rom'' | Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.063 | AmigaOS 3.1 (the OS bundled since 1993) | The year of release of each OS version is an estimate. ===== ROMs ===== Place your Amiga 500 ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/amiga500''. ==== Multi-disk games ==== Do standard m3u playlists work? If using a libretro core, it is possible to use a single archive to store multi-disk games. Put the multiple disks in a ZIP archive and add ''(MD)'' to its filename. For example, the game Operation Wolf may exist as the following: roms/amiga500/ ├─ Operation Wolf (Disk 1).adf └─ Operation Wolf (Disk 2).adf Compress the two disk files into a single ZIP and add ''(MD)'' to its filename: roms/amiga500/ └─ Operation Wolf (MD).zip ├─ Operation Wolf (Disk 1).adf └─ Operation Wolf (Disk 2).adf Multi-disc features can then be access from RetroArch's Quick Menu (''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}}).
