Yawning Angel Retro

Welcome to my main YouTube channel where I upload videos about my Amiga A1200, Sinclair ZX Spectrums, and my BBC Master.

I have a website that can be found at: www.ya-retro.co.uk/

I largely produce videos about the programming language AMOS on the Amiga, and do a number of tutorial videos which can be found here.

I also write a monthly AMOS tutorial for Amiga Addict magazine, which is a nice thing to do.

I shoot my videos using iPhones, and all editing is done using an iPad. I like to keep things informal, and produce these videos for fun and by way of sharing my retro-computing adventures with the wider community.

I have a strong passion for all of my retro systems, and cannot name a favourite as each holds a special piece of nostalgia for me.

I hope you enjoy my videos, and thanks for dropping by. 😎

Space Race Version 2 is taking shape. All proof of concept stuff, but I'm using Amal within AMOS for the animations of ships and meteors.
It looks better moving, honest. 😅

So another Space Race video will be on the cards... somewhen. 😎

I am very behind with my video schedule, but I have pretty much finished the code for my next AMOS video, and am now planning the structure of the video I want to make.
So ‘stuff’ is happening. Promise. 😅

So the Amiga A500 project has begun… I’m hoping for this video to be ready come the start of August. Hopefully. 😅

Before I get to my mega-hardware/A500 upgrade video, there’s a software video coming soon. 😁
Currently ‘work-in-progress’ but hopefully will be released any day now.

Here's the subject matter for a forthcoming video: I'll be starting on the journey of upgrading an Amiga A500 I have. The case and keycaps have already arrived and I look forward to sharing this (staggered) upgrade journey with you all. 😎

Phase one is (unsurprisingly) the case and keycaps, but also getting this machine apart and seeing what's under the hood.

Video coming soon.

Sadly no chance of my Retrofest video coming out this week, due to having the lurgy. 🤧
Hopefully next week… fingers crossed (when I have my voice back).

Hardware challenges with my ‘daily driver’ Amiga are delaying my next Amos video. 🤦‍♂️
Trouble getting a new video card to work properly is taking up my retro-computing time lately.

But another video is in the works… something very different to celebrate my 100th video. It’ll feature some exciting guest appearances from the retro-computing YouTube world. 😁👍

Working on the code for my next video. Might try to get one out this week, or it might slip to next. Lots going on and I don't want to rush this. Also I have an idea for a new AMOS project. 🤦‍♂️
Can't stop the fun. 😅
