And our undying love and respect to the Gods and Angels of the Amiga community, without whose dedication and undying love for the Amiga we would not be here to work on this today.
Gods and Angels.
AmigaChrome stands on the work of the people who made the Amiga, the people who kept it alive, and the projects we build on. This is our thanks to them.
The show above is the roll call OpenBlanker plays when an Amiga is left alone for a while: each card fades in and out by the palette, frame by frame, as Amiga demos always have.

Work we learned from
These shaped our code without any of their code being copied in.
- PFS3 and pfs3aioToni Wilen and others, BSD. Our PFS reader follows its on-disk layouts.
- MusashiKarl Stenerud. Opcode tables our AC090 core was checked against.
- WinUAEToni Wilen and others. Opcode tables our AC090 core was checked against. The AC090 is our own core.
- SingleStepTests 68000Tom Harte. The test corpus that scores the AC090, fetched for testing and never committed.
- AROSStudied for how things work in our open libraries, never copied.
