My next Amiga is a keyboard
Seems like a neat and zippy machine as an Amiga setup. Takes no more space than a slim keyboard and easily fits in a drawer when not used.

Mine is arriving tomorrow. I am giddy with excitement. Definitely gonna have a retropie ‘computers only’ card and a Amiberry/Amibian card. On that last note, never know which one to use.

This PI400 could make the Mini A500 obsolete before it gets released.
If someone could make RPI adapter for 2 joystick ports and a serial port that would be great. Edit: Here is the Joystick port for Pi. https://www.addicore.com/Boffintroni...er-p/ad410.htm Last edited by amiman99; 03 November 2020 at 04:36. |

Hi ! Please let us know how you get optimal results in terms of Amiga emulation ! I tried many years ago...
My criterias are : - 50 Hz support - no visible input lag - no scrollings artifacts, possibility not to fill the whole screen in order to maintain an integer scaling factor (which also makes the picture less blocky) - good quality scanlines and / or pixel shaders mimicking a CRT Then i can dump my FPGA :-) cheers !

What is cool in the Pi 400 is that it actually has less heating issues than the regular Pi, despite its being overclocked at 1.8 GHz, due to the massive heatsink in the keyboard.
It's actually pretty cheap compared to a regular Pi, which requires a case and a cooling solution to be added to its price. Not for me though, as I prefer using my mechanical keyboard with microswitches ! |

Mine's here . Although I must admit the first thing I'm going to spend more time on whenever I get any is the MisterFPGA, as the A314 link to the linux side is hugely interesting...

Yep, whoever owns Amiga was/is far too slow, it's what I would of imagined an Amiga Mini but with extra keypad oh and more wedge like.
Lol eXeler0 Time to start claiming Pi 500, Pi 1200, etc |

What is cool is that it's cheap / standardized / low consumption / much supported hardware -- also made in the EU which is rare.
The 400 version is actually not more expensive. It's actually on par or cheaper with a Pi 4 + a good case + cooling solution. Of course, if they constantly release new versions and if it's always a little too slow for the most common use cases, it'll turn out to be disposable hardware which is not good. |

I like this idea, but a model with pink color will not make it to my desk. I know I'm silly.
