The Raspberry Pi 400 HstWB WHDLoad Pack Setup Guide

This is a long detailed video tutorial on how to setup Raspberry Pi 400 for Amiga Emulation running Amiga Games.
It uses HSTWb installer for the Raspberry Pi to install Amiga OS 3.2.1
I also show how to prepare and download WHDLoad Pack from the EAB or Turran FTP server. HSTWb packages up the EAB WHDLoad Pack for us and it results in quite a nice Raspberry Pi 400 Amiga setup.
The last time I tried to do something like this was my horrors of Raspberry Pi 400 video last year.
Thankfully this was more successful and cheaper.

Dude! You listened! Thank you, m8, you rule!

[@MikeyGRetro]

No problem. I said I'd do it. And the raspberry pi is still in one piece so bonus. HSTwb is not my favourite tool but hopefully it helps you out. :-)

Looking forward to digging into this!

Hi Mike, thanks for taking on this challenge again. I am so pleased to see that it worked out much better this time. As you know, I had HstWB working before but I agree with you that it can be a bit of a challenge and a chore to use. I currently use FS-uae on a 13yo HP Compaq 615 with Linux Mint 20 xfce which can boot directly into any Amiga workbench I choose. I like the fact that when I quit FS-uae (F12 - exit) I have a linux desktop to help organise any files that I need and a working PC. Plus I can re-open FS-uae and benefit from it's great ability as an Amiga gaming console. HstWB is a really clever piece of work by the designer and I respect him for that. It is just a little over-complicated and prone to errors during the set-up for my liking. Maybe better documentation would help. Or, of course, people can watch your videos which are a great example and demonstration of how to use it properly. Thanks again.

I'm glad too. That sounds like a nice setup. I have repaired many HP Compaq 610 laptops for work so familar with that model. Linux Mint is a good choice to get the most out of the machine. They do get hot. I agree HstWB is an amazing achievement for how complicated a process it is trying to simplify. It still brings it's own complexes but I think it speeds thing up if you did it all manually.

Nice, thanks!

Oh man... This is so close what I'd like for my 400. But I'd like to have normal desktop and from there launch that....Interface? Cause I'd like to have normal rpi desktop and also use it for c64 emulation and possibly some low grade dos stuff. Apparently this is now quite suitable for that. I like Pimiga, but imo it tries to make way too much happen and many game emulations run on wrong speed etc. I'd just like to emulate like A500 and A1200 and maybe CD32. That's it. Wait, hold on. Just noticed at 18:30 raspberry pi os installation. How does it function, have you tested? This might afterall be the thing I've been looking to.

[@jothain]

Damnit. Wasted way more than hour to this until I realized I'd need Hyperion AmigaOS files. Should've watched vid fully before hand....

[@MikeyGRetro]

You can still do a setup without AmigaOS 3.2.2. Copy over the workbench 3.1 disks and roms instead. In one of the menu selections I recommend choosing BetterWB that updates workbench 3.1 with handy tools ands libraries.

[@MikeyGRetro]

You can install Raspberry Pi OS desktop version and then install Amiberry. You won't have all the fancy HSTWB stuff but with some more time you can get to the same destination. :-)
