I think the problem with Pi anything is the availability of the PIs at this point.

I wish some one could figure out a RADXAStorm to go with https://ameridroid.com/products/radxa-zero

Since the RADXA Zero is available and the Pi Zero isn't.

Just need enough people to be guinea pigs for the 1200 PiStorm please.

And that particular version (revision 6) go for hundreds of pounds alone. But many games don't strictly need an FPU, or have non-FPU versions available, and if you go for an FPU-less revision, it becomes much cheaper. My rev 4 CPU cost less than £40 delivered, though that was about 2 years ago, and that puts a TF1260 with a CPU and no FPU at less than a Blizzard 1230 (also without FPU) goes for on eBay.

€290 without CPU, €350-400 for LC '060, and somewhere around €700 for full 50MHz 060, unless your name is amigastore.eu in which case it's nearly €1400 :nuts

You can chance your luck on ebay for a full MC68060RC50 but the likelyhood of it being genuine is slim, waaay too many fakes out there (usually rebadged LC's or EC's), especially from the chinese sellers.

We went through all this ages ago when refurbing CPU cards for the A4000, it's certainly not any better now, several years later.

Yes, Emu68 - i see recently lot of activities in ARM world as Apple decided to transit from x86 to ARM and they will use Rosetta 2 to close application gap, seem similar effort is in Open Source side and as FEX is relatively fresh also in WIP then some techniques may be applicable to Emu68 to further gain some benefits (also perhaps as RPi is and for sure will be multicore then perhaps some hybrid solution i.e. 68k and x86 can be used for benefits in Amiga - modern video/audio codecs is a first thing that comes to my head).

And yes, this is my intention to try PiSTorm as from very early beginning i've opted for ARM MC68k emulation as cheapest way (but instead using RPi i've opted for Beaglebone solution where direct interfacing with MC68k bus is possible trough PRU's usage) - for now it must wait anyway - need to finish building my home and bring my Amiga's back to life! Hope next year it will be possible:spin
