PiMiga for real?
Hi everyone, new to this forum and relatively new to Amiga scene.
I have been more close to the Atari side of things and have always been keeping an eye to the Amiga. I own two A1200s (one is complimented with a 29MHz 68020 accelerator and I just got a 68030 accelerator for the other) and I must say they are very nice computers. I have also been looking at the Amiga emulation scene and stumbled upon the PiMiga which seems to be one of the most complete projects around. I thought though that the disk structure of PiMiga, the Amiga parts, could also work on a real Amiga and since I am new in these fields I am looking for some help. I understand the part of finding out the paths to the "actual Amiga disks" in the mounted volumes in PiMiga. Do I just image these volumes to a separate hard disk and stick it into the Amiga? Does it need something more than that? |

Talk to Fuzzboy - he extracted the disks and imported them into Winuae.. I think that`s all you need to do.. but not sure how you get them on your Amiga hdd as partitions. PLus you would need to replicate the config on your real setup.. to get the best out of it.

Won't it work the same way the disks are imported in WinUAE? Unless of course he imported them as separate hard drives.
Thanks for the response |

And maybe you meant FuzzBall and not Fuzzboy? Referring to this thread: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=106739?

I extracted the disk directories from the img file using DiskInternals Linux Reader (in Windows). You mount the img from the menu and then look for the rootfs partition in the list.
From there go to / 1\home\pi\pimiga\disks\ folder and save all the folders in there. Also saved the a1200 config file from another folder but I forget which one now. (if you are doing this to a real Amiga you won't need that anyway). |

Cheers. So I guess the folders are disk partitions and these can be imaged to individual disk partitions on a hard drive so they can be used with a real Amiga, right? |

I am not sure that I understand what do you need PiMiga on real Amiga.
IIRC you can get WB and some stuff that will work, but what possible reason do you have for rest of stuff that is not WHDLoad related and will work only under PiMiga? |

There`s a tonne of stuff on the drives.. it`s already set up... if they want to move them over to a capable, real Amiga.. then why not

I am relatively new to the Amiga scene. The default WB is not exactly in my taste and the themes PiMiga creator has applied are really an eye candy. Quote:
While I am waiting for the 680830 accelerator to arrive, it would be good to prepare a bit. |

I did try most of other ones, but always end on one of ClassicWB versions because Bloodwitch did great job by preserving chip memory usage in his distros. Also to get most of new(er) versions you do need to have newer roms, video card, scandoubler etc... quite few expensive addition to Amiga. |

PiMiga that I tried (both on RPi and one for WinUAE) both use Picasso video card for high desktop resolution.
You can get most of stuff work, but you will be limited to Amiga native resolution as far as I know. |

I see. Let's see how it shows and then I decide the next steps. Thing is that I don't really know how to tweak WB.

The only other download location I know of (for the 1.5 version) is Newsgroups. I can give you the nzb if it's any use.

I also got it via torrent. Not really fond of torrents but I couldn't find it otherwise.
