Heute sehr feine Gespräche neben ein wenig Retro Konsolen zum Thema Amiga in der @section77 gehabt. Hab leider für mich, aber toll für meinen Cousin, damals meinen #Amiga500 weiter vererbt.
Morgen vielleicht mal #pimiga an Start bringen... -

Amigalara yetiştim, ama satın alacak kadar zengin değildik yada çevremizde öyle bir ortam yoktu
Mahâllenizde kimse Amiga kullanmıyorsa ve şimdiki gibi bilgi edinme imkânları da olmadığı için istemek aklınıza bile gelmeyecektir!
Maalesef çevre işte böyle etkili!
Şimdi bunu kırmak çok kolay
Eskiden bu kadar kolay değildi
En iyi öğrenme kaynağı dergilerdi ve genelde ayda bir çıkıyorlardı!
Ve sayfa sayıları sınırlı olduğundan sınırlı bilgi verebiliyorlardı!

Biz de böyle olacağız!
Adam hâlâ çocukluğunda hayran olduğu ve hârika vakitler geçirdiği Amiga'sını yeni teknolojilerde yaşatmaya çalışıyor!
"Amiga" Türkçe argosundaki "Manita" ile aynı mânâya geliyor.
Tek farkı, Amiga'nın sâdece dişi olması. Yâni "kız arkadaş" yada "kız sevgili" gibi mânâlara geliyor.
"Manita" ise cinsiyetsiz bir kelime ve erkek yada kız sevgili için kullanılabiliyor!

My first PiMiga is on the way. I just bought A600 keyboard and case but have to wait for new Keyrah v3 as it is unavailable right now. Will wait... And wait... And wait.

So I f**ked up my #Amiga 500 while trying to enable 1MB chip mem 😢.
But that gives me the opportunity to remove the board and replace it with a #RaspberryPi 4 and #PiMiga! I already did my homework and will try to keep the original keyboard, connected via an arduino micro clone. Would be great if that works 🙂
Wish me luck! -
#Pimiga 3 premieres tomorrow!
Tune in for Chris Edwards “PiMiga3 a Linux based Amiga emulation tribute to the C= Amiga”

Never owned an Amiga, I had an Acorn Archimedes A3010 so enjoying trying Pimiga out on my Raspberry Pi 4.
Any tips for an Amiga n00b?

UPDATE in December 2021! Chris released version 2.0 of PiMIGA. There’s only one version this time and it comes in a huge 23GB 7z file. You can grab a torrent to download PiMIGA 2.0 from his video here:
This version runs on a 64bit version of Linux and feels faster. It does not come with Amiga ROMs so you must provide them. Chris explains where to put the kick31a1200.rom in his video. If you receive an error saying /dev/sda1 is missing on boot up and nothing else happens then you haven’t copied the ROM into the right place!
Here’s a few videos showing off PiMIGA 2.0:
I found another video elsewhere where the author complained of really bad lag but it may have been some weird HDMI issue, or sound buffer lag. The only problem I noticed was that Syndicate ran way too fast. Maybe the JIT had to be disabled?
Make sure you change the sound settings (F12->Sound):
- Set Frequency to 22050
- Filter to off.
- Sound Buffer Size to Min.
Don’t forget to save the configuration.
UPDATE on Feb 15, 2021! Chris Edwards has released version 1.5 of PiMIGA. It now comes in two forms and works (sort of) on the RPI3b as well as RPi4 and 400. The two versions are a 32GB “lite” version and a 128GB “MF” version:
Lite edition, all programs and games, no videos , no mp3, all mods. MF edition, 65,000 + ADFs from the complete Commodore Amiga Tosec archive (de-duped /cleaned / virus scanned ) 128,000 executables in a 13 cd pack of stuff from eab archives of yesteryear. emulations, music, videos all sorts of goodies.
More details are to be found on his release video, including links to the torrent files for both.
UPDATE! Chris Edwards released version 1.4 of PiMIGA for the RPI4 or 400. More info in his release video here.
UPDATE! As of November 23rd 2020 there is now a PiMIGA 1.3 Pi 400 Edition thanks to Chris Edwards. This version has been cleaned up so the happynewyear96 virus has been removed, and it now works out of the box on the Raspberry Pi 400! It works on the Raspberry Pi 4 too of course. Pi3 owners will want to download the original 1.2b version. Here’s a teaser trailer.
PiMIGA 1.3 is available as a torrent, so download it with your favourite torrent client. The password on the archive is still pimiga but I haven’t tested it yet, it’s still downloading. This Reddit thread has more info and a useful comment linking to PiShrink that will reduce the size of the image from 32GB to 20GB. I am very excited about trying this on my Raspberry Pi 400!
The Commodore Amiga was an amazing 16 bit computer of the 80’s and 90’s and is still used today by people who love the system.
WinUAE is the best Amiga emulator for modern systems and it has been ported to many operating systems. FS-UAE is a great port I use on Mac and Amiberry or Amibian use the uae4arm port that runs on Raspberry Pi boards.
To load games and apps on the Amiga you used 3.5 inch discs but if you had a hard disk back then the Amiga supported it. I never did so I put up with the relatively slow loading of the discs.
As I have been spoiled by much faster loading of modern systems, loading games from discs in an emulator soon became a bore. Many games used to (slowly) load an intro with thumping music and an animation, but after hitting fire on my joystick I’d be prompted to “Enter disc 2” for yet more loading.
Enter WHDLoad, a system that patched games so they could be loaded from a hard disk image. It sounds great in theory but over the years I could never get it working the way I wanted. I just wanted to see a nice Workbench desktop UI with an disk image of games to play around in.
I’m not the only one apparently. Through this video on alternative operating systems for the Raspberry PI I found out about PiMIGA. It’s a 32GB disk image you burn to SD card for RPI 3 and 4 and when booted up presents a rather nice Workbench desktop with lots of games and apps. BTW, the password is ViWsC7oU3.
It’s based on Amiberry, and uses WHDLoad of course and everything is set up for you!
I haven’t tested it yet myself. My RPI3 is busy running Plex, Backuppc and Pihole but I want to get an RPI4 to give it a go!
Here’s a word of warning however. The video above shows a virus checker running and it finds a couple of viruses that are removed (in Amiga apps) so I would isolate the Raspberry PI device from the rest of your network if you can. Use the guest network of your router perhaps or just leave the device offline.
An alternative to PiMIGA is AmiKit which appears to do something similar but runs on Windows, Linux and Mac (and RPI4 with some fiddling around) and even lets you launch Windows, Linux or Mac apps from within Workbench. It looks rather nice!
