Haha, I would be super excited if this was 1995. You could try running AROS on it, it's SUPPOSEDLY compatible with the Amiga but if you want a classic system that will work, UAE.

[@2playOrig]

@@danwood_uk Dear Dan hello. I saw you were testing the PiMiga. As per Keito i found this comment by him... "PiMiga v1.2b image for Raspberry Pi 4 Warning: due to mistake on creators' side, the image is infected with Amiga virus HappyNewYear96. If you want to swap files between PiMIGA and another Amiga computer, use proper AV software, like killhappy.lha." What are your thoughts on this?

[@2playOrig]

And anyone willing to pishirnk the img will save 9GB "Shrunk pimiga_v1.2b_pi4.img from 29G to 20G .."

AWESOME! I have been 'hinting' at the wife too, much like I did with my parents back in 1986. I am hoping to capture that Christmas 1986 vibe when I opened up my C128, in 2020 with Pi 400. If it's not there come Christmas I'll be online an hour later ordering one! :-)

I’ve ordered one on the strength of this video alone. I’ve wanted a Pi for a few years but as someone who grew up with an A500, A600 and then an A1200, the lure was too strong. Great video, thank you 🙌🏻

[@TomAtkinson]

Wow I never thought I'd see that. This is amazing. My Amiga1200 was bulging case after I upgraded to 68030 CPU and 80 MB hard drive. I was able to interrupt games to "fly through" or inspect the memory using the visual debugger.

[@danwood_uk]

Just to clarify, the £93.90 price is for the Raspberry Pi KIT with mouse, keyboard, SD Card and leads. You can also get it as a standalone unit for £66.90.

[@SpeccyMan]

Does that also include a PSU?

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

You also get a book with it. It comes with the super cute Raspnerry Pi mouse, matching 3amp USB C power supply, the HDMI cable and SD card with Raspberry Pi OS! You can add a nice big USB 3 SSD or hard drive and use the Raspberry Pi imager on the Pi itself to install software to it, no PC needed 😀

[@booboyBL]

@@SpeccyMan Yes it does. It's a USB C power supply, rated at 3 amps.

I was doing fine talking myself out of this when I thought it was £100...

[@dtsdigitalden5023]

Bit of a story here Dan. I got my first Pi, a Pi2 B+ a few years ago with the express purpose of Amiga emulation. Set it up, gave it a go and ... that poor thing was underpowered for smooth Amiga emulation. So, it got turned into a PiHole, and has been running faithfully in that capacity every since. But this Pi 400 is the thing I've been dreaming of. Your video pushed me over the edge, and I've got one on my xmas wish-list. Hopefully wifey-Claus thinks I've been a good boy this year.... Excellent stuff sir, as always.

I have owned almost every Amiga model under the sun, and wouldn't be caught dead giving Cloanto a penny for work done in the 80's and early 90's by Commodore. If he/they eventually take over the development responsibility for the successors of AmigaOS 3.1.4 from Hyperion and actively carry that project forward, then of course I would fund such development and exclusively purchase those Roms.

[@another3997]

@@uberdude2555 We get it, you want stuff for free, because historically, you once owned Amigas, and therefore you feel entitled to the Kickstart Roms. Despite the fact that you sold them or gave them away, you still have the right to do what you want? Quite legally, Cloanto has paid money to OWN the rights to that Rom code and can do whatever they wish with it. Do you apply the same logic to the new owners of your previous cars, houses and anything else you once owned? You just go and help yourself when you feel like it? It's old, outdated stuff, so it should be given away freely? Tell that to the owners of anything antique... see what response you get. Your sense of entitlement is misplaced. If you want to use something, have the decency to not steal it.

[@tahustvedt]

@@another3997 The previously owned cars point is absurd. It's the kind of argument the movie industry uses against copying software. I bought a 3.1 Kickrom license for my A500 with a pre-flashed EPROM, but I don't think it's great that someone bought the rights to sell them today when the alternative would be perfectly acceptable abandonware downloads. They don't even have an easy way to buy more licenses online. You have to buy an OS or buy pre-flashed EPROMs from a vendor. I just want the license because I can flash my own. I bet you have pirated games on your Amiga. If you were around back when you probably pirated games then as well. If you didn't you were very out of the ordinary.

[@AndreiNeacsu]

For a proper '80 feel, it is required that the keyboard feels a bit on the cheap side. Not necessarily Z80, Z81, or ZX Spectrum level of cheap, but it has to be a bit further away from the IBM Model M.

[@richardwicks4190]

If you want to simulate an Amiga, there are a few emulators: www.zophar.net/linux/atarist.html Always wanted to get an emulator for the Atari ST on the Amiga back in the day, but I don't think one was ever made. Had a MAC emulator, but it was pretty worthless since anything I could run on that worked on my Amiga natively anyhow.

[@anthonycarr9118]

amiga 500 was so good, best games machine back in the day

[@stansova3138]

I beg your pardon, but I disagree with you, The Amiga 1000 was the cats meow, I had 4 disk drives and 4 hard drives with a hard drive controller, what happened to it, was well we moved and I forgot I put the Amiga 1000 in a tower case and told the wife to go ahead and throw away all my old computers, I had about 17 of them, well she did, gone was my C64, C128, Amiga 1000 (in a tower case), with all disk drives and hard drives.That is what happens when you are moving to a new state.

[@PikaStu666]

Amazing! I’ve had my eye on this little machine but was waiting for someone to do a video like this (focussed on Amiga emulation). 🤘

[@garydiamondguitarist]

I was so impressed with this tutorial that I ordered an Rpi 400 from OKdo 3 days ago, turned up this morning. Couldn't find any microSD cards spare so I thought I'd take a crack at using the official Rpi Imager to flash RetroPie to a USB flash drive instead. That worked. Thought I'd try and boot from it without doing a firmware update, figuring as the official docs said you need something after August 2020 and it's about 3 weeks old. That also worked. I haven't had a chance to put ROMs and things on yet but my trusty wired Xbox 360 controller was as plug and play as Dan's tutorial led me to believe, so I'm impressed that the whole thing works substituting a microSD for a USB device straight out of the box. Good work all round really! Just thought this might help people wondering about picking one up, and I'd say between this and LibreELEC soon to be updated for a good Kodi build (and potentially an easy way to dual boot with the USB and microSD as viable boot devices) you've got a stunning little multimedia device for, in my case, a shade over £65 with free delivery as I already had all the other gubbins lying around for power, a mouse etc. P.S. although you can enter the WiFi SSID etc with the gamepad... just don't. With the kind of default case-changing alphanumeric gibberish ISPs set by default it's not fun. 😂

[@mikenorval6331]

I never could afford an Amiga back in the day, but my old C64 remains to this day the most beloved computer I ever owned.

[@superviewer]

I sold my C64 incl. peripherals to afford an Amiga 500 :D

I've just ordered the same joystick to go with my Pi 400, so this is all quite good timing.

[@SkuldChan42]

You forgot to mention the Pi-400 is make in the UK :) - at least mine was.

[@meetoo594]

When I set up my retropie. I used a usb drive with a few folders set up in win 10 (instructions are on the official retropie website). You then insert the drive into the pi and it creates all the rom folders. You then transfer your roms into the relevant folders and reinsert it into the pi. It will autoput all your roms in the right place. Bit easier than messing around with the command line.

[@jayhaich5827]

Good tip thanx ;-)

[@elbiggus]

As a heads up, the entire TOSEC collection (including CD32) weighs in at just shy of 60GB, so if you're a lunatic like me that has to have everything then a 32GB SD card isn't big enough. :P

You have an amazing collection of operating systems. It's great to see someone (Chris Titus is another) who uses the right OS for the job and explains that he has his personal preference but loves trying out and playing with all types of operating systems. Variety is so much better than some odd brand loyalty a.k.a fanboyism.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

My 400 has been an Amiga since the day I got it. The issues with KB and M compatibility were fixed within days of this video coming out. It plays everything up to and including 68060 software with ease, even emulating it with the benefits of the best FP co-processor

If you don't have an extra Pi 4, all you need to do is edit cmdline.txt or rc.local after burning the image and add the update & upgrade commands to the boot sequence, then remove it after the first boot on the Pi 400 itself.

Keep up the good work. Jase.

[@RetroRecipes]

Nice guide mate! Sorry if this has been mentioned before and correct me if I'm wrong but it should be possible to SSH into the Pi 400 via ethernet and your computer's terminal, to apt-get update, without needing to put the SD in a Pi 4. Also, any idea if Workbench works, with mouse support? I haven't yet attempted that. For some reason that feels like a nice idea to see it running with the Pi 400 form factor. A proper retro desktop computer, with a desktop interface!

[@DanWoodisme]

Thanks! Yeah I have thought that myself since, but not sure to enable/config SSH on the Pi 400 without the keyboard working? (don't think it's on by default and kb and mouse only work after the update). Workbench works with the mouse after it's been updated.

[@RetroRecipes]

[@pik33100]

Today I simply downloaded and compiled Amiberry using the RPi400 and 64-bit beta Raspberry OS. It works without any problem. To have a good emulation and smooth scrolls the best way is to define the resolution for Xrandr (1008x560@50Hz) so it is equal the emulated resolution and make a script which sets the desired resolution, calls the emulator and after that restores the native resolution of the monitor. No screen stuttering and distorted Amiga pixels anymore :)

[@lucacardone3861]

About AmigaPI over Rasberry PI 400 you can fix the issue of the apt-get update and upgrade without another rasberry pi. On the first boot you just need to connect the PI 400 using RJ45 on your router. then find the IP address of the rasberry pi on your router and connect using SSH connection (Putty client) using login: pi and password pimiga and then write on command line: sudo apt-get update an sudo apt-get upgrade . After update reboot your rasberry pi 400 and your keyboard and mouse will work.

So you download all 5 files, extract the first archive with 7 zip then burn that disk image to the sd card? Does it auto use the other 4 files?

[@melvynburchell]

Pimiga is great but it is worth pointing out that several files are infected with the "Happy New Year 96" virus, so be sure to use the included Amiga antivirus tools first on the image to scan and get rid of them. Start with the system files first because when first booted into Workbench it will be resident in memory and will infect other files that you open...

Is Amiberry multitasking or just for single game playing, I am using pimiga on my pi400 and if I try to play Shanghai and play music at the same time,the music shuts off, but on FS-uae it works great and I can run several programs at once like organizer, DM2, Shanghai, pen pal for data processing or writing. Now I notice with pimiga pen pal works but you get a bland center screen where the data should be, but if you click in that center screen the data pops up. Just wondering if amiberry is multi tasking like FS-uae, only thing I don't like about FS-uae it don't start the Amiga right off, but everything else works great.

I've done exactly as you said and showed and for every game from WHDLoad I get a white screen and it seems like RaspberryPi has crashed or something. It's not clear what are you doing with the .lha files: it seems like you just downloaded them from the site but then you're saying something about originals that one needs them and finally from nowhere you're copying larger .lha files than the ones published on WHDLoad. Could you explain, please, how did you prepare your .lha files?

Hi can anyone help? I've just purchased a Pi 400 with pi Amiga SD Card. How do you set up usb (snes style) pad on it? I press F12 goto input setting but no mapping options? Could you possibly do a USB pad set up video to set up USB pad in winuae on the Pi 400?

I'd been waiting for something like this :)

I went out and bought the Rpi 4 4Gb, still have not used it. Same with the 400!! Living in Cambridge less than a mile from the Raspberry Pi shop is a real problem!! ;)

Hi Dan, I have just bought the Amiga Forever essentials pack from the Google Play store, to hopefully run Pimiga on my Pi3b. I noticed that the essentials pack only has roms from 1.2 - 3.1; are these enough to run Pimiga 1.2?

I tried emulating Amiga stuff on my upper mid range gaming PC, R5 3600 and 5700XT. I'm an American who only knows of the Amiga hardly. I got two games working lol. Just wanted to try Zool... Guess I'll try the Genesis/MD version lol.
