After a dozen other videos .. a bit too late !

[@retrofriends]

Merely a stepping stone, my friend. You would know that if you watched the end of the video (although I don't blame people for not watching the whole video. I wouldn't last long doing this if that bothered me). Here's a bit of wisdom: This is not a race. I was one of the first to get out a video on the raspberry pi 400, and it hardly made a difference.

[@wimwiddershins]

He didn't get it. :P

[@CommodoreFan_nl]

@@wimwiddershins I did see the "working keyboard". But if that was the big news to share then this video had a very long intro. A teaser normally takes about 15-20 seconds. And a working mini-keyboard has already been done for TheC64 (mini). But i will watch the follow up. I hope it's different from TheC64 keyboard solution.

I would never buy a emulation machine that looks like a Amiga or any other computer or console, there is nothing better then the real thing, using the original hardware. It's different if you cannot buy the original hardware or if they cost way to much, and a Amiga 500 still do not cost much, you have one now for €150, the only thing you need is a simple converter from scart to HDMI, and they are also cheap.

In years to come emulation will be the only viable option...i have 3 real amiga500s but i feel i should preserve them..i have ordered one of these minis just for the simplicity and ease of use.

[@AmigaWolf]

@@doctorsocrates4413 Yeah, i will stick with the original hardware, and if it stops working i repair it or let somebody els repair it for me. And if i need to play Amiga games without my Amiga 500 or up, i just use Amiga Emulator program, do not want to buy a (sorry to say) cheap looking mini Amiga computer, then emulation it on my Mini Media/Console-PC.
