Hello from Athens, Greece

Hello my name is Nikos,
Im 47 years old and I live with my family in Athens.

I was raised using an Amiga 500, which still have to this day locked in a closet. I'm still very much interested on everything about Amigas through emulation in a PC and a raspberry pi (Pimiga).

This forum was and still is, my go to for everything regarding Amigas, I am a visitor since mid 2000's (somewhere about 2004 if I remember correctly) when was looking to acquire a A500+. However I registered as a user only last year, since most was open for visitors. I always thought that I have nothing significant to contribute to the community, maybe I can change that in the future.

Recently I was intrigued to the idea to introduce my Amiga 500 to my son, but since I don't have the monitor still looking for the best solution.

Anyway I'm happy to be here as always and I wish you best health to all.


Nikos

Nikos
Howdy Nicos, welcome.
You don't really need a monitor, any half decent TV with Scart will do for games etc. You just need one of those RGB+audio to Scart -->

And of course there's the newly created Raspberry Pi Zero hack which gives you HDMI out ;-) Just Google "Amiga Denise mod HDMI"

Cheers
