Flamingo Emulator

Commodore Plus/? emulator for Amiga (68k & PowerPC)

Overview

Flamingo is a Commodore Plus/4 emulator designed to run on Amiga systems (both Motorola 680x0 and PowerPC-based systems). Version 1.54 is the final release for AmigaOS?3.x and WarpUp environments; later versions were intended for AmigaOS?4.0 (PowerPC) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

Requirements

  • Amiga Kickstart ROM version 3.0
  • Joined BASIC + KERNAL ROM image (must create using “JOIN” command) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  • Processor: 68020+ recommended; PowerPC with WarpUp V4 for PPC version
  • Graphics: ECS, AGA, or CyberGfx (native chunky mode for CGFX or PPC for Chunky2Planar)
  • Memory: ~1.5?MB free RAM (depends on video driver); fast RAM recommended
  • Supporting libraries: asl.library, gadtools.library, iffparse.library (for snapshot support), 6581sid.library (SID emulation), and cybergraphics.library v4.0 for video modes :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Features & Compatibility

  • Full-speed playback of Plus/4 games and software on Amiga hardware
  • Snapshot facility to save emulator state (requires iffparse.library)
  • SID audio emulation via 6581sid.library
  • Multiple video drivers: ECS, AGA, CGX, including a CGX-DeltaRefresh driver optimized for slower graphics cards :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  • Joystick support fixed and improved over earlier versions :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Usage Notes

  • Obtain BASIC and KERNAL ROMs separately; use Amiga “JOIN” tool to merge them.
  • Ensure all required external libraries are installed.
  • Choose appropriate video driver based on your Amiga’s hardware.
  • For better performance on PPC-based systems, install WarpUp V4 (for PPC and CGX chunky2planar support).
