New Raspberry Pi - AMIGA AGA emulation to become usable?

Higgy · 02 February 2015, 10:00

This sounds good news, plus still at a great price:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/

A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (~6x performance)
1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM (2x memory)
Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1

Definitely getting one ASAP, thanks for the heads-up

If my 1.5Ghz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU ensures perfect performance with all aga-games with 28-56Mhz 68020 (640 width mode) then i think 900 Mhz A7 must ensure perfect performance for aga-games 14-28Mhz 68020.

It would be great to have a RPi 2 booting straight to UAE4ALL2

Then I would probably not need to use my actual AMIGA. UAE4ALL2 works really well on OUYA.

The HDMI output you get out from the OUYA is probably better than any scandoubler is going to offer so the RPi 2 should offer the same. Plus RPi 2 is a lot cheaper and easier to sort than a FPGA.

Ok the emulation is not 100% but I think for mucking about with WHDLoad games, it is working pretty well.

Plus there might be a RPi 2 overclock also. Stick on some self adhesive heat sinks as per RPi 1 for added safety.

Sound great! Who's gonna be the first to get a custom WinUAE SD card image uploaded?

Locked at 50hz should be pretty groovy on an HDTV

I looked a few months ago at getting an OUYA to run emulators on, but the output being locked to 60Hz meant that it wouldn't be as smooth as the real thing.

As h0ffman stated, with the output locked to 50Hz this could be fantastic.

Even the Raspberry Pi CEO would like this!!!

Very tempted to snag one of these

So cheap yet so versatile!

My pi 2 should be delivered anytime soon.

Two people have asked for a preconfigured winuae image so will I.

Anyone with raspberry pi amiga emulation images please upload to the zone. Thanks in advance.

Where did you purchase yours from and which package did you go for?

ransom1122 · 25 February 2015, 01:22

Ebay. Got the pi 2 with case for $55 delivered.
