Turn an Old PC Into a High-End Amiga with AmiKit X

[@TemalCageman]

If you are a fan of Amiga, this is probably the best time to live in. I emulate my old Amiga 1200T (saved all my stuff to my back then PC FTP-server) using WinUAE. I also have a Vampire V4-Standalone for ApolloOS, a Sam460 and AmigaONE X5000 for AmigaOS 4.x. Earlier today I installed a Creative Soundblaster Audigy FX in the X5000 and it works perfectly, thanks to a developer who wrote drivers for that and some other cards using the same audio-chip. Great days to be an Amiga fan!

[@phillipzx3754]

I can't recall one piece of software from my Amiga days (I owed a 500, a 2000, and a 3000/040. I still have the 3000) that I'm interested in these days.

[@barryjack3025]

I had the 4000/40 back in ‘95. $4000 Canadian dollars! Using in for Lightwave animation. It was fun to use. I sold it to a fellow down in the U.S. (I am Canadian) as he wanted it for doing imbedded programs. He was thrilled to get it for $700 US$.

[@gespensttype-r68]

I've never gotten my hands on an Amiga, but I've been fascinated with them and the scene around them for a while. Seeing as how pricey an actual Amiga is, that Raspberry Pi solution seems to be a nice and reasonable way to try it out. Thanks!

[@fuzzywzhe]

You don't want the original hardware. I had an Amiga 500, and just watching this reminds me of all the configuration troubles. I would literally have to spend the DAY to get an modem working for example. I would never want to return to the bad old days. The machine was impressive for its time, but Windows and Mac were only a couple years behind. By the time that 2000 rolled around, any OS was superior, including Linux.

[@obbekjaer]

@@fuzzywzhe I beg to differ. I had my old Amiga 1200 up and running in very short time with an SD-card as my harddrive connected to the internal IDE port. Back in the days I had days and months of trouble with this because I couldn't find a harddrive that wasn't too power hungry. I have a PCMCIA 3Com network card connected with the Easynet/AMITcp package. I can even swap that one out for a CF card adapter to transfer files to and from my PC that way if I want. And I am looking into getting a Gotek drive configured as an external DF1:

[@fuzzywzhe]

@@obbekjaer Well, the Amiga for its time was well ahead of the competitors but it's a primitive system compared to to today. I wouldn't want to go back to it. I was recently forced to reinstall my OS (linux) due to a failing SDD, I know this wouldn't have been as seamless 30 years ago. The rest of your writing is beyond me, and be impressed. I'm trained as a VLSI chip designer. Believe me, the worst architecture won. It was interesting 30 years ago to see leaps and bounds ahead in technology, those days are over.

Thanks so much Dan! I've got an older PC that needs something to do!

DOpus wasn't an average file manager. On the Amiga it was system within the system. It could be customized to use external commandline tools to do virtually everything including open all sorts of files, play music, movies, decompress all sorts of archives. It only depended on user's creativity. I can't imagine using Amiga without DOpus. It was essential tool for me.

How was the Amiga "ahead of its time"? It had a CPU from 1979. Blitters had existed before, pre-emptive multitasking had been in previous systems, GUIs and WIMP desktops had already been done. I can't think of a single Amiga feature which hadn't already been a feature of something else.

Underneath, it's still the same old Amiga OS, with all it's flaws and idiosyncrasies. It's just that Workbench has been replaced with DOpus 5.x, although you can still use versions of Workbench 3.x instead. It's like an old Granny wearing a miniskirt, high heels and too much makeup... the closer you look, the more wrinkles you see. 😉

[@brodriguez11000]

@@another3997 Seems part of the problem is that Amiga has an identity problem, and with no central authority (no Commodore) it can get worse.

[@vampiregoat69]

[@TheSulross]

that Pi 400 is looking like THE best option for a retro-computing enthusiast to get an Amiga experience in current times, that has a very high degree of athenticity about the experience of it all

[@moomah5929]

There is no best option as people have different needs and expectations. For some it's emulators on PC that you can set up to run games by simply clicking a shortcut, Pis as small emulation boxes, FPGAs (can also be connected to CRT TVs and monitors relatively easy) or real hardware, with the last one being the most expensive option and hard to work around incompatibilities of OCS vs AGA machines without buying multiple systems or expensive upgrades. You can spend looots of money on Amiga hardware and some people do. While I was interested in getting a real Amiga, one wouldn't be enough for all games and running games like Lionheart or Ambermoon via WinUAE custom configs for each game (loaded via Launchbox shortcuts) works perfectly fine. Can even run it in 15kHz modes like 320x200 on my CRT monitor thanks to custom resolutions (just had to make some like 320x200 @ 140 Hz) for glorious, real scanlines. Not being able to use my original Amiga games is the only thing I'm sad about. But I also prefer using real hardware, why I'm using my old consoles and Retro PC more often than my MiSTer or emulators. Even using Everdrives feels slightly wrong.

[@BilisNegra]

Maybe the nicest, lightweight one, but not the cheapest anymore with the crazy price rise of Pi's. An old PC like the one in the video will cost you like a third of the price.

[@josephkarl2061]

When I get a bit of spare time, that's what my Pi 400 will have loaded 👍

[@The_Last_Ninja]

That’s exactly what I’m rocking. A Pi 400 with Pimiga it’s quite a nostalgic feeling 🤩

[@beezle1976]

Not even close. ARM UAE is well behind Winuae. The performance is terrible in comparison to even throw away pcs. It has no ppc support. It has no 3d acceleration. It has no native code support. No ability to create custom screenmodes. No ability to set the host to custom resolutions and/or refresh rates as the original. Expensive in comparison. And so on and so forth.

[@lifeschool]

I've been playing with Shapeshifter and Balistik II this afternoon, and even with an old PC emulating a fast Amiga, it's still possible to play some top 90s MAC games on it.

Gongrats Dan for promoting emulation, by far the cheapest and easyest way to get into amiga, and possibly the future of amiga computing!

I agree 100%. I'm encouraging people to try out emulation. Amiga emulation nowadays is almost perfect. FS-UAE is my favourite for years now. There's no need of buying super expensive real Amigas unless you want the real thing so badly. Emulators are doing well and they're convenient. You don't have to buy more electronic junk, because it can be done on a computer you already have at home.

[@tinkerscorner54]

[@stefcep]

I have all three. For me Amiga means Amiga look *and* feel. No contest: amithlon looks and feels like a superfast RTG Amiga. But is a pain to set up. And no amiga ntive scrrens or games. Amikit to me does not look like an amiga-it uses a Windows start button and a Windows task bar. Still it has a very nice Opus set up. IMO PiAmiiga comes last in both look and feel, especially the feel-it just doesn't feel like an amiga.

[@pkf4124]

@@stefcep also have all three. I have several Amithlon builds and agreed it can be a pain to set up, but I am always looking for that better setup and combo of parts to make things better. Pimiga is great but one issue I have, the same one with all Pi based emulation is the lack of support for native formats. No easy transfer of native discs and file to the Pimiga etc. My favourites by far are my Vampire accelerated Amigas and my 030 accelerated ones with RTG and of cause Amithlon. Hands down the best two Amiga experiences.

He actually said that this is "overkill" if all you want to do is play a few old Amiga games or demos, which is true. You don't need anything this sophisticated just for doing that, and there are free options that will accomplish that for you. But Amikit X will play those games just as well as any other emulated Amiga on Pi or PC. It just happens to have everything but the kitchen sink thrown in to make it in to the 'ultimate' Amiga, for those who want more. Playing Amiga versions of demanding games that already exist on Windows or Linux is rarely going to fulfilling, other than just a technical "look at this" exercise. 😉
