Amiga Pi-Storm 32 Lite & Emu68 install . Wow how many Drystones !!!!

[@StatMatsVidz]

Rocket speed indeed! Look forward to seeing the HDMI setup. :)

[@3vi1J]

Awesome collection of cards and info! Thanks for sharing!

[@CaptainCommodore]

Think the big draw with the pistorm is the right and when the get the pass thru for hdmi working properly that will be the killer app

[@8BitRetroReFix]

I think it just needs picasso96 installing, then Hdmi works 😉

[@CaptainCommodore]

@8BitRetroReFix yea it will work for hd workbench but games etc still come out of the rgb not the hdmi

[@Retro4u]

Great video thanks for the shoutout 😂: you will love the pistorm and the go drive. I’m sure there is plenty on the way as well I heard WiFi is going be announced soon 😊

[@8BitRetroReFix]

Thanks, mate .. ohh WiFi too 😀 ...

[@JosipRetroBits]

Very nice build :) Yap, those flat cables are a bit loose in there :) Cheers!

[@CrashUK28]

chipram should 7 time fast then A600?

[@Drysset]

You should test Winther bustest chip much more accurate.

[@IntenseGrid]

Why aren't you running SysInfo 4.4? I think that has more accurate chip speed numbers.

[@LukeAGuest]

Emu68 doesn't support MMU, yet. That Phase5 with the black heatsink is PPC and I think it can reference more than the Blizzard 030+SCSI which was 256MB as that is what I had. The max RAM the pistorm can give the A1200 is 2GB. You can also use picasso96 on AGA to get all the chip ram back. Is the go drive the same as the GOEX?

[@8BitRetroReFix]

Hi .. Yeah, the go-drive is very much like the gotek even uses the same fw .. but a different format pcb to fit inside, keeping the floppy too .. In the next video, I'll instal it and show you 😉

[@LukeAGuest]

@@8BitRetroReFix No, GOEX, that has the wheel on the pcb which fits into the floppy drive. Edit: Seems it's completely different to the GOEX.

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

what can you run on an Amiga with 2GB of RAM? EVERYTHING. ALL AT ONCE. Sorry, that's just mind-blowing. The most RAM I ever had in an Amiga was 18MB. That's over 100X as much.

[@off1k]

@@LukeAGuest You probably already found this info out but here goes anyway. Where the GoEX is a much nicer version of the Gotek, the GoDrive has the ability to flick between using a normal internal DF0 Drive and USB while still being able to use an external DF1 drive as normal. The Go drive plugs into your internal floppy port but has a pass through connection for your real internal floppy, you don't remove the real floppy. There's a switch on the front of the GoDrive to flick between the GoDrive and real DF0 and it's real time, no need to reboot.

[@LukeAGuest]

@@off1k Yes I know. But I don't have a floppy drive and I don't intend to get one.

[@Drysset]

Thanks for the video 😀 Where Can I buy the backplate with the outputs?

Hi . I got mine as a kit off fleabay .. or you get someone to 3d print one ... Thanks for watching 😉

Hi I’m Tony from uk just watched your vid on installing the pistorm I have a 500 for about 5 years now only had it recapped just a daily gamer now after 20 years of selling my old 1200 due to divorce I have just acquired a virgin 1200 from an old friend on facebook/market for a great price and it’s nice having a 1200 back in my life again this machine has never been open so I going to send it off for a diagnostic check and recap disk clean etc/etc and I will get a pistorm and raspberry 3b+ my pi 5 won’t fit and other accessories ect external gotek because I don’t want to take the floppy out I’m old school, my 500 has been a good workhorse and I’ve looked after it and I have no reason to sell it anyway enough of me thanks for this vital info on your vids I have subscribed sorry I don’t know your name

[@8BitRetroReFix]

Hi Tony. Nice to see you're still amiga gaming ... take a look at my Go-Drive video .. It's like a gotek,virtual the same, but this allows you to keep the floppy drive and no case modifications ;) ... Regards Steve

[@GenerationAI2024]

Thanks for sharing, will use this when my PiStorm arrives. But how did you get this massive increase in ChipSpeed? The last line when running sysinfo. All others i look at never go over 2 in Chip Speed vs A600. And does it even matter?

[@8BitRetroReFix]

@GenerationAI2024 it's all done on the pi itself .Auto setup when you add the pistorm files .. I did nothing but image the sd card and and the rest was plug and play 😉

[@GenerationAI2024]

but is the chip ram speed still slow.

[@Mooheda]

Very interesting video, Other then 500Mb in the video what is the max size of the WB partition creation and because I don't have access to Windows machine I've been having issues setting up the SDCard partitions, Linux partition tools are very stubborn at setting filesys type 76.

[@8BitRetroReFix]

Hi .. you don't need a wb partition bigger than 500mb .. the next partition is the big one ... as far as I know, after Kickstart 3.1 partitions can be as big as you like 3.1 and under .I think they are limited to 4gb... I've binned that idea now and installed the Amiga Game Selector 😉..

[@off1k]

@@8BitRetroReFix What version of Amiga Game Selector you running? and what version of kickstart for the AGS you're using. Reason I ask is I recently grabbed v2.6 (about a week ago) but it won't boot on my *main* A1200 whereas v2.5 and 2.3b worked fine. Now I did try v2.6 on another A1200 I have and it worked perfectly first time. I'm guessing it's because of Kickstart 3.2 on my main A1200, the other A1200 is using KS3.1 but I also have Rapid Road USB in my main as well. So in the end all I'm wondering is: Are you using AGS v2.6 on an Amiga with Kickstart 3.2?

[@8BitRetroReFix]

Correct ... 3.2 kickstart chip in my a1200 .. running 2.6 AGS ... ive not looked at wb under ags. it could be soft kicking another version of kickstart .. id ask in the ags group. 😉

[@off1k]

@@8BitRetroReFix Thanks for the info :) But I should have been a bit more specific, are you using an updated KS 3.2 as in 3.2.2 by any chance.

[@8BitRetroReFix]

@off1k 3.2 As far as i know ... that won't matter if it's soft kicking another tho

[@bradhansen2065]

“Phone me now!” means it is too fast to measure and he wants you to report want your using. You didn’t explain you VGA connection, or did I miss it. I would like to know. Thanks, enjoyed the video.

[@8BitRetroReFix]

Vga screen is for workbench .. games are displayed through hdmi 😉

[@bradhansen2065]

@@8BitRetroReFix Not what I ask…what are you using to connect to your VGA display.? You can not just connect an Amiga to a modern monitor. You need some sort of upscaler to do that. What are you using?

[@8BitRetroReFix]

I'm using a simple a RGB scart cable . My little lcd tv likes the 15hz signal . Just for testing tho .. I use original monitors for main setups

@@GenerationAI2024 Chip speed is not really the difference. on my Stock a600 1.03, and in my 1200 with Pistorm32lite CM4 @2ghz 1.57. for me is more important the raw power of the pistorm with emu68, it shines in so man ways. demos, applicationes compute speed . :)

@@yukanolive4727 Ah ok, it has just been mentioned a couple of times on forums and videos. Thought it would be important. Can't wait for the PiStorm, sitting here with a ACA1221EC with 8 mb ram ;) Thanks for the answer.

[@mikegravgaard340]

You setup seems wrong in some way. I have seen KZbin videos where with the CM4 module; you can get Sysinfo to show just short of 3000 times the speed of an Amiga 600 and drive speeds of around 23MB/sec. Also version 4.4? Of Sysinfo would report "Virtual Amiga", I believe. I would really like to see a Pistormed Amiga booting say Debian M68k. I realise that is a big ask though.

[@8BitRetroReFix]

Thanks for that ill check it again with 4.4 ... ive seen at 1.5million drystones with a pi4 😉..
