This week I am reviewing and providing a tutorial on setup of the awesome AGABlaster software for the Amiga. This software can create a 256 color AGA CDXL file that plays back wonderfully on your AGA Amiga.
I walk you thru a bit of background on the technology, how to set it up in Windows 10 using the Ubuntu Linux Terminal, and how to create and play back the incredible videos!
Markus Schordan created this fantastic software. You can find him on Twitter @agablaster
Download all the creation software and learn how to use it here:

Hello, WSL1 normally only supports pure command line applications. WSL2 available in Windows 10 may 2020 update adds support for gui apps. It is still possible to run ham_convert in cli mode under WSL1 by installing Xvfb (a small fake X11): https://www.scivision.dev/xvfb-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux/. If you get a “Server is already running” error message, just press enter. Version 1.6.2 beta was confirmed working under WSL1 with Xvfb. I've also reduced memory usage in the latest beta version: http://mrsebe2.bplaced.net/ham_convert/
