  1. Update on the 3D hardware driver for the PiStorm32 (PI4/CM4)
    Steffen Häuser has sent us another status update on the current progress of the crowdfunded development of a hardware 3D driver for PiStorm cards: PiStorm3D is now at a stage where more complex demo programs can run on it. MiniGL is being used as the 3D interface.

  3. This might be the answer for what I've been trying to do - but not quite as I envisioned. Apparently this PiStorm68K v1.8 Special Edition hasn't been fully tested in Amigas, but it's designed for the minimig. It keeps a 68000 on board w/ physical switch to fall back on.

    Debating getting this for my Amiga 2000.

    Anyone out there using one of these in an Amiga? (I'm looking for an affordable Amiga 2000 accelerator that can fall back to 100% base 68000 mode.)

  5. I have an Amiga 2000 and would like to add a PiStorm accelerator to it - but I want to slot it into the CPU slot on the motherboard with a CPUslot-to-64pinDIP adapter, several of which are currently available out there for purchase.

    Critically, I want to be able to disable the PiStorm sitting in the CPU slot for 100% fallback to the original 68000 on the motherboard.

    Is anyone aware of a CPU slot adapter capable of fully disabling the CPU in the slot?

    I see this unit which has a DIP switch for E-clock and _BOSS which, I believe, control what I'm trying to do. I suppose I could remove the jumper and replace with cabled switches. Any issue with this?

  7. macOS: Amiga Imager 0.99, testers wanted
    Thomas Luebker's Amiga Imager creates boot images for classic Amigas, PiStorm/Emu68, or the MiSTer on Mac OS. Version 0.99 is the release candidate for the upcoming version 1.0: A feature freeze has been in effect since version 0.98, and this release focuses on bug fixes and fine-tuning - with one deliberate exception: new support for Apollo/Vampire turbo cards.

  11. Mac OS: Amiga Imager 0.94

    Thomas Lübker's Amiga Imager creates boot images under Mac OS for various platforms: non-upgraded Amigas, those with a PiStorm turbo card, the MiSTer, and emulator environments. The most important feature in the new version 0.94 is the now largely completed all-native build engine.

  19. Mac OS: Amiga-Imager creates boot images for Amigas, Raspberry Pi and Minimig

    Thomas Luebker's Amiga-Imager generates boot images on Mac OS for three different platforms: unmodified Amigas, those with a PiStorm turbo card and the MiSTer. The RDB images (in the case of the Raspberry Pi, as an SD card image with an additional FAT32 boot partition) also include the corresponding RTG and network configuration.

  21. @starsk Here's a closeup.

    My A500 borrowed an A1000 keyboard while waiting for the a1200.net one.

    It also has a PiStorm Classic, but it doesn't play well with the A590 and any expansion that tries to do DMA. I'm working on a CPLD patch to emulate the #m68k bus granting protocol.

  29. FrameThrower: RGMtoHDMI adapter now also for Amiga 600

    Following the Amiga 500 and 2000 models, the FrameThrower adapter is now also available in a version for the Amiga 600. FrameThrower is a PiStorm expansion that allows the Amiga’s RGB signals to be output directly by an HDMI interface.

    However, audio transmission is not yet implemented in the software; this is expected to be added later.
