The GTi — Crew & Contributors

"The Floppy Flinger Thinger" · the people who made it a thing

The GTi is a small project with a growing circle around it — builders, a demoscene-loving community, board partners, and the folks putting it on real Amigas. Here's the roll call.

The Crew

Mez

Creator · UI & firmware · OMEGAWARE. The Floppy Flinger himself.

Dimmy

Dimitri Hilverda — hardware layer, display driver, the original ESP-NOW / USB work. fork

Claude

Anthropic — AI development collaborator: firmware pair-programming, docs, and the tooling behind this site.

Coverage & Community

Retronaut

Chris Thomas — first video feature of the GTi, and the ideas behind the in-game .rtfm manual reader and user-disks.

Wrangler

Bench testing and video coverage — and the reason TOSEC-named multi-disk sets group cleanly.

Vincent

Marketing guru and prime promoter.

Hardware

Screemo & Kavanoz

The Nano-Tek board — a compact Amiga floppy emulator partnered with the GTi. On the silkscreen too.

Support the project

The GTi firmware is free and open-source (MIT) — flash it, fork it, keep it forever. If it saved you cracking open a case, or just made you smile, you can drop Mez a tip. No pressure, no paywall.

☕ Buy Mez a coffee (or an ice cream 🍦)

The code stays free either way.
