I’m planning to play some C64 and Amiga Christmas games in the living room. My platform of choice is RetroPie in the new Amiga 1200 case that also houses a KeyRah adapter. It’s been a little difficult to get the original joystick ports to work in Vice. But after an hour of fiddling about I got it working. I’m not a big fan of customizing controllers in emulators and with RetroPie you have to also get the controls right in Emulation Station. It’s all a big pain.

Now I have to get the Amiga emulation working. Some games refuse to work. Aargh! I’ll spend another hour on that issue and if that doesn’t solve it, I will drag the C64 with the Chameleon downstairs. I wonder if the Keyrah will let me use the Amiga keyboard on the Chameleon via a PS2 adapter…

Anyway, I did enjoy a little Santa’s Workout.
