Spped of emulation on RPi 3
Hello,
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 inside an amiga reproduced case, connected to a real amiga keyboard, that I got off ebay. I run FS-UAE, but the emulation is a bit slow. I was thinking of getting a RPi4 with 4 Gigs of RAM. Does any one had the experience of FS-UAE with a RPi4 ? Is it fast enough so I can emulate with accuracy in 'High' ? Many thanks |

No experiences with RPi 4 but if RPi 5 is or will be supported I would go for it.

Depending on your budget you can also consider MiST (~200USD) or MiSTer FPGA (~350 USD)

RPi3 does not have enough power to run everything and FS-UAE is not well adjusted / optimized for machine in order to emulate at full speed all the time. You are better off with RetroArch Amiga core (pAmiga) or Amibian.
MiSTer is great, but it is all different set of setup (FPGA) and RPi4 and RPi5 have more juice for better result, but as I've said, you need different emulator for better results.

I looked into Amibian but the site is a bit strange, I could not get to a dowload page.
Tried also RetroArch, and downloaded the Lakka disk image for RPi3. Burned it to a SD card, still have to fire up the Pi with it to see how it goes. Can I emulate the Amiga with this Lakka image ? |

The fastest Amiga Emulator on Raspberry Pi would be Amiberry
 Just get PiMiga 2.0 which will run on Pi3/4/400 and even on Pi3B+ it's blazing fast ! //EDIT : don´t know if PiMiga 3.0 still runs on Pi3 |
