Interesting Amiga 500 with an internal hard drive mount that hangs off the keyboard. It also has a DKB MegaChip for 2MB of ChipRAM. Nice!

My 1MB chip RAM upgrade for my Amiga 600 came in from the UK yesterday. Looking forward to giving this a try when I can find a few minutes #amiga #retrocomputing #amiga600 #chipram

I also found that you need to set the ChipRAM to higher than 2MB, otherwise it would just reset when it was supposed to load the car select screen. Probably isn't optimized for a retail console yet.
Overall, it seems to be a hybrid between the PC and 3DO versions in terms of gameplay "feel".

Yep! I modded mine to up the chipram to 1mb and run a 68020 accelerator in the sidecar w an IDE / SD card slot :)

the AMIGA is a range of computers. You did not say which model. Alien 3 came out in the A1200 (AGA) era and it could be due to a memory limitation (ChipRAM) on an "obsolete" (80's) Amiga..... i played on AGA and i seem to remember it besting the Mega Drive version. It was 30 odd years ago tho :-)

This one is pretty tricked out. It has 2MB of chipram and 2MB of fast ram, quadruple what the base A600 has, plus a gotek floppy disk emulator. It's all ready for an IDE hard drive to be popped inside and we have the original floppy drive to slap back in if we want to.

(ah just saw, a1200, nice! I had all sorts of weird issues when i was modding my 500 for 1mb of chipram lol sometimes hardware is strange!!)

probably need more RAM as well, fastram expansion as a minimum, and a lot of games would require 2mb chipram. gets expensive quick

Since both Agnus and Gary sockets are in the line of fire, bit the bullet and replaced them. Did Agnus first, with no dice. Did Gary next, which was a lot less fun, but finally got further. Now detects 2k of chipram, but running out of the end of chipram or fastram gets me to the main menu.

I got the Amiga 3000T's motherboard cleaned up when I first got it, and repaired it to the point where I could get into DiagROM to be greeted by chipram and addressing issues. I then recapped it, only to find that it wasn't booting anymore. Out of frustration with both it and myself, I shelved it.

I'm always juggling my computers around, one day when my kids move out I'll have a room full to play with. The A600 is fantastic, I really love the size of it, you should get yours down and have a play!
Mines got 2MB Chipram (1MB upgrade), 4MB Fastram and a 4GB Compact Flash (via IDE interface)
