Raspberry Pi made into an Amiga (essentially)

I really like the idea of the FPGA stuff but I'm really after a 100Mhz RTG system so the MiST is probably not it. Life has ended up getting in the way somewhat and everything I was doing has stalled for now.

Not to derail this thread, but there has been discussion of integrating RTG into the minimig (Amiga) core on the MiSTer.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 sitting in a box somewhere, never even thought of using it as an Amiga.

I'll give it a try! Nothing wrong with emulation, a nice little 'portable' Amiga!

There's a some promising things on the horizon for the Pi in relation to Amiga and Amiga Next Gen assuming they ultimately materialise but of course this is all hobby stuff so there's no guarantees on anything.

If any of the guys from Poland are going Here...

Sorry about that. Im not so active on forums at all. ?

Amibian 1.5 is on the final step now to completion. A beta will be shown in polland at the Syntacx Error party 5 - 7 april, an almost ready version of amibian.

Could you do a write up on it for our beloved EAB .
as i dont use F**kBook and Gunnar has moved his forum to there ! ? (It seems)

I should get around to testing amibian for the full experience. Up until now I've been kept happy with retropie and launching whdload games but amibian looks very interesting!

With the NEW Raspberry Pi 400 out now with A500 style all in one keyboard, its time for an FPGA add on for the custom chips.

It would be nice to have for £100

I have been playing with the Pi-400 and wanted to try some of the retropie images on a SSD so i have created/tested this little tutorial. too many names to mention for credits as i pretty well scoured youtube but thanks to all of them. As always, do it at your own risk

How are you finding the Pi400 with Amiga emulation? I was thinking of picking one up as it seems like a tiny A600 and perfect as an emulation machine. Does the keyboard have any issues with mapped keys?

[burma-shave]

I've not had any luck with getting the 'A'-miga key working on a pi400 when using amiberry. I believe it's mapped to the right windows or menu key which seems to be missing on the pi400. The next version of amiberry will support mapping it to a key of your choice.

I bought a pi400 mainly to use with amiga emulation. I have a little setup with it connected to a vga crt and it's very nice. Doesn't diminish my yearning for a real A1200, but still a lot of fun!

Amikit is due out shortly with a pi400 version. That should be interesting. And yes they key mapping is a bit irritating
