In this video, I assemble the Denise — a mini-ITX form factor recreation of the Amiga 500+ motherboard, using original chips salvaged from a battery-damaged board. This isn’t just a rebuild — it’s a resurrection.

In this video :
Explore the Denise PCB from https://shop.flamelily.co.uk/, pre-populated with all the SMD components
Populate one of the most densely packed through-hoe PCBs you’ll ever see
Troubleshoot a backwards SIMM socket (oops)
Test the system with real Amiga hardware and software
Install it all into a sleek aluminum ITX case (with some mods to come!)
Plus, I share insights into why this build was necessary!
